Forget The Electric Guitar, It's Time To
Go For The Digital Guitar

Forget The Electric Guitar, It's Time To
Go For The Digital Guitar 02/18/2004 01:19 PM
Growing up, I always thought the coolest thing my father owned was a beautiful Les Paul Gibson electric guitar. The famous electric guitars really haven't change all that much over the years since they were introduced, but they're finally catching up to the digital age. Gibson is getting ready to start selling a digital version of the guitar. It looks and plays like a regular Les Paul, but the sound is sent out digitally, making it easier to manipulate. Instead of regular audio cables, you'll plug in an ethernet cable (no WiFi?). Of course, some traditionalists are upset, and others point out that people will need all new equipment to use such a digital guitar. Among the features of the guitar will be the ability to upgrade the guitar as the digital offering improves. My first thought on reading this, though, was how soon it would be before someone hacks their guitar. We no longer need amplifiers that can go to 11, because we'll just be able to overclock our guitars.

Computing Supply and Demand

Computing Supply and Demand 10/28/2003 11:07 PM

I was impressed with this interview with Greg Papadopoulos, Sun Microsystem's new CTO.  First comment that caught my attention was when he said, "I think the biggest piece of crap going around right now is that this is a mature industry and innovation doesn't matter."  He goes on at length about how improvements in computing efficiency impact the cost equation: "You have this exponential improvement in computing, but ERP is not getting exponentially complex. So you would certainly expect it to get cheaper. If you went to a CFO and said, "I can give you a million times more computing power," they would say, "OK, I'm not going to close my books every millisecond, so you are going to give it to me at a millionth of the cost." But if you go to an R&D department or to Wall Street, they will say, "Please, bring it on." I think we can actually free-up dollars from other parts of the business. They would definitely see a competitive return doing better simulation of product development, for instance."

That's exactly how I see it, too.  People are crazy if they think software is played out.  He also has some interesting things to say about "utility computing", web services, and outsourcing.

Music Download Store Experimenting With
Demand-Based Pricing

Music Download Store Experimenting With
Demand-Based Pricing 01/08/2004 08:41 PM
One of the very good complaints about online music stores is that they offer all songs at the exact same price - which doesn't make much sense in the market place. So, one company is trying to test that out by offer ing dynamic pricing for its downloadable songs. The songs all start at the low low price of $0.10 per song, and then fluctuate based on demand. The company is still paying the $0.67 per song price to the music labels, so they're losing money on plenty of songs - but are saying that's the cost of the experiment. After they've spent the amount they've set aside, they'll go back to the old way of pricing. There are a few problems with this. First, explicit dynamic pricing tends to get a negative reaction from consumers - who feel they get ripped off when someone else bought the same product from the same store at a lower price. More importantly, though, true market pricing isn't just a function of demand - but of supply and demand. In this case, there's an infinite supply, so we're not really talking about market pricing at all. Furthermore, this service competes against plenty of other services that charge around a dollar for songs, so there's a clear upper limit on what they can charge for any song, no matter how popular. An interesting experiment, certainly, but not necessarily indicative of market pricing.

Hello Kitty Guitar

Hello Kitty Guitar 09/01/2004 09:36 AM

Although this Hello Kitty guitar is about four times the price of what I'd actually want to pay for it... hey, Hello Kitty guitar! The Fernandez-made electric has a built-in speaker and amplifier so you can plug a headphone right in and start writing your ode to ultimate adorability. And while the polka dot version is shown here, there is apparently a matching sparkly pink version the guy selling these can get a hold of. Now we're talking something worth $400.

What acolyte of rock wouldn't be proud to walk through a smokey club with a matching pink gig bag? None I would prefer to rock to, that's for sure.

It's sort of a cut-and-paste job, but Vince Veneziani took a non-functional Sega Dreamcast and turned it into a guitar amp. The 1/4-inch jacks come out of the B and C controller ports, and the speaker (must be a small practice amp) is stuck where the fan used to be.

Ah Dreamcast, we will keep you in our hearts forever.

JamPlug Guitar Amp

JamPlug Guitar Amp 08/16/2004 08:06 AM

DVForge's new JamPlug, an in-line (well, I guess most audio equipment is inline, but bear with me) amplifier that is billing itself as the "World's Smallest Guitar Amp," and for once a world's-smallest claim is probably on the money. The $60 piece runs on a single AAA battery and has a pair of strangely-familiar matching white headphones. The thumb wheel controls volume, and it even can be overdriven into some quality of distortion, which probably isn't the best sounding fuzz or crunch or whatever in the world, but if it can free the legion of pimply guitar noodlers from the curse that is the Rockman Metal Ace, then the amateur rock world will surely be a better place.

Won't ship until October, but you can get on the list now to be notified.

The Optek Fretlight combines a standard Stratocaster clone with a light-up LED neck, making it easier to learn how to play the guitar or learn new songs. The Fretlight happens to be a MIDI guitar, too, so you can send signals to it from standard music applications, or even other instruments. That means your instructor could play a short riff, which would light up on your guitar. And with quoted prices around $600 or so, it's relatively affordable (compared to other MIDI guitars, at least).
