Dashboard cig lighters are the new
cup-holders
11/06/2003 11:11 AM
The automotive cig lighter has become a kind of lingua-franca for chargers of all descriptions -- this CNN piece calls it "the new cup-holder." The same thing is happening in USB: I charge virtually all of my devices (phones, PDA, etc) with retractable ZipLinq USB cables these days -- sure makes travelling easier.
In model-year 2004, there are 47 vehicles that come, standard, with five or six lighter sockets, according to Carsdirect.com. In 1998, no vehicles came with that many...

The Pink Pussycat Boutique, an "adult novelty" store in Manhattan, sells a variety of devices that can be plugged into car cigarette lighter sockets. We'll go no farther.

If you get a flat tire, Safetycentral.com sells a 12-volt impact wrench for removing lug nuts. Among other car lighter-friendly devices the site sells are a 20 oz. coffee pot, a frying pan, an oven, a curling iron, an electric cooler and a special adapter so you can plug multiple devices into one lighter. That way you can make breakfast, curl your hair, run your impact wrench and maybe light a cigarette while you wait for your beer to get cold.

2. More capacity! Now you can upload 2 GB per month.

3. 2 free Pro Accounts to give away to your friends! This won't be activated for a day or two, but when it is, you'll see a note on your home page telling you what to do.

IBM Agrees To Expense Options


IBM Agrees To Expense Options 04/06/2005 02:16 PM
Just a few months before being required to, IBM is saying that they, too, will join with some other companies in agreeing to expense stock options. Once again, this whole debate seems sort of silly. For most companies, the idea of expensing stock options is pointless. The expense will be a made up number, and won't accurately reflect anything when it shows up on the income statement (the details of stock option plans are already available in financial statements -- just not as an expense). However, those who seem to be claiming that this will be the end of startups are probably overreacting as well. Most folks on Wall Street are smart enough to understand how the change in the accounting rules impacts the company's bottom line, and since this doesn't change the cash position of the company in any real way it shouldn't really impact much of anything. Certainly, a few companies will want to get rid of, or offer fewer, stock options -- but other methods of compensating employees for taking risks will become more popular, or companies will realize that the increased expense on their income statement really doesn't matter that much in the long term when the benefit is that they can attract better talent.

Realizing The Additional Expense Of
Offshoring
04/12/2004 11:19 AM
Srinivasan Patel writes in with a link to the latest in a long line of stories talking about how offshoring isn't as cheap as people make it out to be. This isn't a surprise, at all. We've been saying this since people first started freaking out about offshoring last year. What's amusing, though, is that all the people who have been the most vehement against offshoring and for protectionism are the ones hyping up these articles - even though they actually give support to the idea that protectionism isn't needed.
