T-Online Buying AOL?
11/13/2003 01:36 PMThe Register is reporting that T-Online, the ISP part of Deutsche
Telekom, is talking to Time Warner
about buying
AOL, though they also get a T-Online person to deny the rumor.
Time Warner has repeatedly said that they have no plans to sell AOL,
but there certainly are executives there who would love to see it go.
Of course, a more likely discussion would be more informal discussions
to see if T-Online would want to buy AOL's
German (or European)
operations, and not the whole thing. However, the article doesn't
suggest that at all, and seems to indicate they're looking at the
whole thing.

Nintendo Doesn't Believe In Online
Gaming
07/07/2004 12:44 PMWhile Microsoft and Sony seem to be betting big dollars on the rise of
online gaming from their console systems, Nintendo seems to think
they're throwing money away. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata was
quoted as saying,
"cust
omers do not want online games." While I've been a bit skeptical
about the space in the past, the
growing
success of things like Xbox Live suggests that I (and Satoru
Iwata) may have written off the space way too quickly. In my defense,
my thoughts on the matter came before broadband was so common and
before there was any evidence either way. I still don't think all
games will go online, but there very clearly is a large and growing
market for console-based online games -- and to completely deny that
with all of the existing evidence suggests Nintendo has their head in
the sand.

McD's Music Giveaway Disappointment
08/04/2004 09:40 AMI rarely eat at McDonalds, but while on vacation last week our kids
talked us into it as we drove across western Nebraska. My wife ordered
a Big Mac, and unbeknownst to me, they had a Sony Connect promo
going on where you get a free music download with every Big Mac.
Cool!
Then I tried downloading it.
We're sorry.
We know you are interested in using the Connect music store.
Unfortunately SonicStage only works on Windows 98SE and above.
We have no immediate plans to support other operating systems at
this time. However, we believe this is an important user base and we
hope to support it in the future.
Thank you for your interest.
(Funny; I always thought that even Mac OS 9 was a few steps
"above" Windows 98.)
So the short of it is that the whole Connect system is dependent on
software that needs to be downloaded first. While this really isn't
that unusual — even Apple's IMS works only with
iTunes — Sony's free SonicStage digital music software is Click here to comment on this entry

Contextual Advertising And Search
Advertising Are Different
Contextual Advertising And Search
Advertising Are Different
08/03/2004 12:32 PMApparently, marketers are just now figuring out that browsing and
searching are two different modes of web surfing, and people will
t
reat ads differently in each situation. Some pointed this out
quit
e a while ago, but thanks to Google and Overture promoting
contextually matched ads as somehow being just like search ads, many
advertisers expected similar results -- which they're not getting at
all. So, now, some advertisers seem to be fighting back and are
telling Google and Overture that it's about time they separated out
the two forms of advertising and let the advertisers work each
campaign separately. It appears that Overture has started to move in
this direction, but Google continues to insist that there's no reason
to treat the ads differently.

Three New Plasma TVs from JVC
08/19/2004 03:13 PM
NEC JVC has three new high-definition plasma
televisions coming out - two 42-inch models and a 50-inch. One of the
42-inchers, the GD-V422PCE, produces over a billion colors, which
should make for a very nice, rich looking picture. They all are nice,
of course, as far as plasma goes, plus each is capable of displaying a
regular XGA source (1,024 by 760 pixels) if you wanted to use them as
a giant monitor. Prices aren't announced yet, but I'd expect something
in the $6,000 - 7,000 range for the 42-inch models, and way more than
that for the 50.
