Disk Drive Makers Tighten Belts, Also
Fire People 07/05/2004 10:47 AM

Om Malik, who changes website themes like I change shirts, which is to say 'every once in a while', opines on the future of hard drive manufacturers, who are currently in the process of losing their shirts right off their kicked-asses' backs, despite an ever-increasing demand for their product.

Now that is conventional wisdom! However, some of my friends who work in the disk drive business, are suggesting an unconventional logic. They believe that instead of focussing on churning out higher capacity drives at neck-snapping speeds (i.e. Moore's Law), the industry needs to become more responsive to the real market trends and offer many types of drives. (Moore's Claw)

Which is better? More reliable, more expensive hard drives, or large, cheap, and unreliable drives that can be rolled into a more-reliable RAID? I guess the answer is, "Both."

Maybe hard drive makers could take a tip from Taiwan's wildly-successful cameraphone imaging chip manufacturer Pixart, who is in an mildly-related bit of news is making noise about going all IPO on that ass. The ass of commerce, I guess I'm saying.

Reviving Acquired Startups Suffering
Inside Big Companies

Reviving Acquired Startups Suffering
Inside Big Companies 05/17/2004 03:04 AM
There are so many stories of big companies buying startups for lots of money, and then realizing they don't really have a need for the startup. In a few cases, the company's former management team will buy back the startup, but it's a fairly difficult move. There is even the occasional story where startups selling out to larger companies have been able to write in buyback terms - but it doesn't happen very often. However, realizing that this situation happens more often than people like to admit, a new VC fund has been formed to help buy former startups out of the larger companies that acquired them. Basically, these VCs have found an undervalued market. The current owners want out, while the startups are already (somewhat) proven with a known product and known market - which just isn't getting the attention it deserves or needs. Should be interesting to see what comes out of these once again startups.

Reviewing Seattle's 3G Service

Reviewing Seattle's 3G Service 09/25/2004 12:04 PM
Nancy Gohring reviews AT&T Wireless's new UMTS 3G cell data network in Seattle: Our senior editor Nancy Gohring wrote this for The Seattle Times. Nancy notes that AT&T Wireless has their UMTS service in six markets; Verizon Wireless will roll out its EV-DO service in 11 more cities for a total of 14. Nancy tried the Real Networks video news service and gives them high marks; there's an audio-only component that offers NPR, too. That service is $4.95 per month. She notes, however, that much of that content is available for free on the Internet in formats included in the regular mMode subscription, which is $24.99 per month for unlimited use with basic Internet access and certain mobile data services. Nancy also tried a data card that works with the service, although you can connect to the Motorola phone that's one of two options for the network via a cable to use it as a modem. The data card had worse coverage area, for reasons that are inexplicable. As with Nancy's earlier tests of AT&T Wireless's 2.5G GPRS service, the company couldn't explain the performance variations she saw in being able to get online around town....

Infoworld: Reviewing Open Source CMS

Infoworld: Reviewing Open Source CMS 01/15/2003 11:50 AM
Open-source CMSes (content management systems)—such as PHP-Nuke (www.phpnuke.org), eZ Publish (www.ez.no) and Bricolage (www.bricolage.cc)—provide a compelling third option, one that can be flexible and relatively inexpensive without requiring companies to build their own CMS from the ground up.

Of course, an open-source CMS solution can present its own challenges. As we've seen before with open-source software, the flip side of great flexibility is often challenging complexity. While it's true that open source enables companies to cross off licensing-fee line items from their project budgets, a portion of these savings must be redirected to development expertise, be it outsourced or in-house.

Reviewing the Yahoo 360 launch, after
the fact

Reviewing the Yahoo 360 launch, after
the fact 04/02/2005 07:28 AM

Th e launch of Yahoo 360 seems so long ago, but it was just six days. How did it go? This screed nails it. Invite-only, exclusive, two-tier marketing of beta services, a tradition started by Google (as far as anyone knows) don't work. It only worked for Gmail because there was great anticipation, the idea was new (the method of marketing, that is), and you could use Gmail to communicate with people who didn't use Gmail.

Everything about Yahoo 360 is for members only, and in the first few hours of its life in the blogosphere, most people couldn't get in. Now, after it's launched, there's no way to see anything other than a ghost town. Maybe that's all there is, maybe not. But for a service like this, the appearance of being a ghost town is just as bad as actually being one.

All this fuss for a service that most people thought was a poor cousin to Flickr that Yahoo bought just before rolling out 360. It's a disaster epic on the scale of The Towering Inferno or The Poseidon Adventure. They did everything wrong, and worked really hard at it.

Moral of the story, big companies don't have mojo, they can't, and it's not fair to make that the issue. They can, however, make the trains run on time, and at that Yahoo does quite well. But they should leave the innovation to small, nimble, motivated devteams with nothing to lose and no corporate hierarchy to please. Hire a business school prof to do a case study for you. It's never worked differently in Silicon Valley, yet this is a lesson Silicon Valley keeps relearning. The next revolution isn't on stage at Esther's or SXSW or even Etech -- those were the last revolutions.

Karl Lagerfeld put these Chanel-branded TV belts on runway models during their Spring/Summer 2005 show, harnessing the captivating double-team of the moving image and the swaggering crotch. Chanel has said there are no plans to bring the TV Belts into production, but you can surely do something similar if you can scrounge up an old crotch somewhere.

The Search Engine Belt Buckle

The Search Engine Belt Buckle 08/27/2004 01:34 PM
I remember when I was Chairman of Infoseek Japan, I would get a weekly list of the top 100 search words. I remember loving this list. You could see watch trends and stuff, but mostly it made you realize just how sick people were. When I was around, the only US search term that beat adult content phrases was "Olympics" and the only Japanese query was "Tamagocchi" when it was all the rage.

Now uber-gadget-hacker Phillip Torrone has brought this experience to the street via the Search Engline Belt Buckle. It uses the SearchSpy service which shows real search queries and is provided by Dogpile, the metasearch engine.

I suppose this is slightly more useful than an RSS feed of my weight, but definitely harder to build.
