Gaming: Good News And Bad News 03/16/2003 07:20 AM

The good news is that Lucasfilm have released a minute and half long trailer for KOTOR, but the bad news is Galaxies has been delayed. Posting in the official Star Wars Galaxies forums, LucasArts' Haden Blackman said that "deliver the best possible massively multiplayer experience and ensure stability and breadth of content, LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment will delay the game's April 15 launch. This will enable us to invest more time into the beta program, and to solicit additional feedback from the tremendous fan base Star Wars Galaxies has already developed."

No news is good news for Dean 02/01/2005 10:02 PM
Howard Dean's road to the DNC chairmanship keeps getting clearer. Going into this week, it appeared that there were only two potential roadblocks big enough to stop Dean's momentum. The first was the endorsement of the Association of State Democratic Chairs. If the chairs came together behind some other candidate, other voting members of the DNC might jump on the anti-Dean bandwagon. But on Monday, the chairs voted overwhelmingly to endorse Dean. The second potential roadblock was labor, but the A FL-CIO has just announced that it won't be endorsing anyone. Dean would have preferred to pick up the AFL-CIO endorsement, of course, but his opposition needed it more. The candidates will fight it out for individual union endorsements now, but no one will get the big, momentum-swinging punch that the AFL-CIO would have provided. Put this one in Dean's column, and move him a few squares closer to victory on Feb. 12.

Gaming news to amuse


Gaming news to amuse 02/01/2005 08:53 PM

Sure, it's a slow time of the year for gaming, but Carl can always deliver the gaming dirt. This week in Game.Ars, he looks at the week's top gaming news, including a preview of an upcoming Star Wars real-time simulation title. There's also another new horror title in the works.

I am a huge fan of horror games, so when I read at Game Spot that Kuju Entertainment was planning to publish a game based on the horror mythology of George A. Romero, I got all kinds of happy. The game is as of yet unnamed, but is due in 2006. The best part (at least for me) is that it’s being produced for both the PC and consoles.

There are also details on the World of Warcraft server problems as well as the America's Army hack. Dig in!

Good news, bad news


Good news, bad news 02/12/2004 02:12 PM
Anna-Maria Kovacs has long been one of the few Wall Street analysts to really understand the FCC regulatory process and its implications for the telecom industry. In today's note ahead of the FCC meeting expected to take up VOIP issues, she nails the crucial business implications of the VOIP regulation debate:
  • If the application vendors can ride free and the telco and cable network providers are not allowed to block them, then the application vendors will have a huge cost advantage vis-à-vis the carriers they ride. The carriers will have both network and marketing costs, while the pure application vendors will only have marketing costs. In such an environment, the guest’s end-user rates can be much lower than those of the host. The problem would be most extreme for the telcos, who have an existing revenue base at risk and who lack video revenues to help support at least a portion of their network. But even the cable-network providers would be at a disadvantage vis-a-vis the pure application vendors.

  • The good news would be lots more end-user choices and lower prices. The bad news would be the threat to the financial viability of the underlying carriers who make that competition possible.
What Anna-Maria has realized is that the VOIP debate is about two visions for the future of the Internet. It's the same point captured in James Seng's layers diagram, and has been a recurring theme in my writings over the past few years. Vision 1 presumes that applications will be tied to connectivity platforms. Vision 2 innovation and economic activity booming when those layers are de-linked. (In case you're unclear, I believe in Vision 2.)

Naive expressions of Vision 1, like yesterday's Wall Street Journal editorial, simply ignore the lessons of the Internet and telecom competition over the past two decades. The best case that can be made for tying applications to network infrastructure is the one Kovacs lays out: it's the only way to pay for the network. The critical question is the one raised in her last sentence: whether the network is financial viable based on connectivity revenues alone. (Anna-Maria is just setting out the possibilities; I don't know whether or not she believes this viewpoint is accurate.)

I'm convinced that network operators can do quite well based on their access revenues alone, without any need to suck value out of the application and content layers. The hard part will be replacing legacy infrastructure and shifting to a new cost structure. The Bells spend tens of billions of dollars each year on capital expenditures, and turning that oil tanker around won't be easy.

Yesterday, in his New America Foundation speech, AT&T CEO Dave Dorman described some of the pain AT&T has gone through over the past five years in migrating from five separate networks to one massive IP network. It's a multi-billion dollar annual project, which is still ongoing. But AT&T believes that pain is necessary to position itself for the emerging all-IP, converged telecom world. I think they are dead on.

The incumbent local phone companies haven't yet made the same commitment AT&T has. Instead, they are pushing a vision that removes the pressure for change.


UPDATE: Right after I posted this, I read Ted Shelton's analysis of the economics of starting a VOIP telco.  He pegs the initial capital costs at just $8,000.  This illustrates the discontinuity I'm talking about.

Why it's good there are no ads on
Scripting News


Why it's good there are no ads on
Scripting News
03/23/2005 08:15 AM

A picture named chuckBerry.jpgLast night I had a brief phone talk with Steve Gillmor. I told him I had finally figured out why it's good that there are no ads on Scripting News, and then spaced out on saying why (our conversations are often like this, lots of ideas back and forth, we never quite finish most).

So I thought I would explain here.

First, consider yesterday's edition. Among the top items are three that are clearly anti-Republican. Now if you support the Republicans, no matter how much they abuse your trust (heh, sorry bout that), and I was running ads, you might think that, by reading this blog, you were helping finance someone who you disagree with politically. I wouldn't have much chance of talking to Republicans.

However, because I'm not running ads, and have no reason, other than wanting to influence more people, to seek more readers, you can relax and have fun, maybe mutter to yourself when you see me criticizing the President and the Speaker and Majority Leader, people you admire and respect, people who should of course have their own blogs, btw.

That's not to say that blogs-with-ads are necessarily bad, but ads on Scripting News are not for me. As I said in yesterday's podca st, I'd happily pay money to get some ideas heard more, so for me, it's consistent to run Scripting News ad-free.

Why Google News Is a *Good* Thing


Why Google News Is a *Good* Thing 09/30/2002 01:19 AM
8 Reasons Why Google News Is a *Good* Thing Dave writes how he's not impressed by Google News. Exact post: Google PR sends a message that they have a new News service. Maybe I'm slow this morning, or maybe I'm spoiled, but what's the big deal. I thought they already had this. My personal aggregator is better, it shows me what I'm interested in, it's not one size fits all. Help me figure this out. I'm sure there's something innovative here, I just don't see it. Permalink From a technical perspective I'm not sure that there is a lot that's new here. I still think this is huge though: My aggregator is just that mine -- I heavily tilt it in favor of tech / blogging / highly ecclectic stuff. I don't get general purpose "What's Going On" news -- and, sure, that's my fault. So what? A personal aggregator is always or at least often going to be this way. Google is giving me a much more balanced viewpoint. That's huge. Google is integrating foreign and U.S. feeds into one composite display. Given that there are differences in how U.S. media report stories versus foreign media, this makes it very apparent and that's good. The U.S. media is not always right. The user interface is highly functional -- I could easily see my Mom using Google News. I couldn't see her using a "traditional" aggregator be it Radio, AmphetaDesk, Drupal or another. The concept of aggregation is fundamentally important and one of the very real contributions that UserLand made to us all. Still aggregation doesn't mean squat beyond a small group of folks. Google News will introduce the concept very widely. Everything is very clearly time stamped i.e. "55 minutes ago". It's not going to get confused when someone re-edits a url they've already posted so the same thing shows up as new repeatedly. A Caveat. Google's reputation is such that I feel that they did a good job of picking the news sources which is particularly important for foreign information. When I caught the Indonesian bombing news this morning, I trusted the sources that Google chose to show me since they're from Google. Now that may be naive and perhaps it is but a lot of us will do that. They aren't relying on XML feeds so they aren't dependent on news sources that lack feeds like Voice of America. And while there are lots of ways to build these, it's generally non-trivial. Google News isn't going to replace my aggregator any time soon but it is a good tool that I can see myself using regularly. Visit Google News
