Sony Axes the Vaio U50/U70 09/21/2004 12:27 PM

Handtops is reporting that Sony is pulling the attractive, if niche Sony U50/U70 mini-tablet computer, despite the fact that it was just introduced to the market a few months ago. It was a great device, but I would not be surprised in the least if they weren't selling very well, since they were essentially a $2000 - 3000 toy. A great toy, mind you, but a toy nonetheless.

PalmOne Axes Palm.Net Wireless Service

PalmOne Axes Palm.Net Wireless Service 08/11/2004 01:59 PM

In sort of an end to an era, PalmOne will be shutting down its Palm.Net internet service, subscriptions to which have fallen to just around 42,000 users over the last coupel of years as wireless data services from mobile carriers have eclipsed the five year-old service in both speed and coverage area. The Palm.Net email accounts will be moved over to USA.net, but the Palm VII, VIIx and i705 Palm handhelds will not be supported by USA.net, as they are Palm.Net-only devices.

Palm.Net was one of the fire wireless data networks in wide use, albeit at now-trickling speeds of around 9Kbps. Expect the service to be shut down by the end of the month.

Shirky: Wikipedia is better than
Brittanica on net-centric axes 01/05/2005 07:09 PM
Cory Doctorow: Clay Shirky's posted more about Wikipedia on Many2Many, responding to danah boyd's post about how Wikipedia won't be an encylopedia. The thing Clay really nails this time in the idea that "new media don't succeed because they're like the old media, only better: they succeed because they're worse than the old media at the stuff the old media is good at, and better at the stuff the old media are bad at."

And of course, sometimes Wikipedia is better, since, as with the Indian Ocean tsunami example, Britannica simply has no offering. So, at the margin, a casual user who wants free access to a Web site that offers a communally-compiled and non-authoritative overview of a recent event will prefer the Wikipedia to nothing, which is what Britannica offers. In this case, Wikipedia comes out on top, and walking along several of those axes like cost, availability, topicality, and breadth of coverage, Wikipedia has the advantage, and in many cases, that advantage is increasing with time

Now Britannica doesn't want this to be true (god, do they not want this to be true) and so they try to create litmus tests around authoritativeness -- "WARNING: Do not read anything that does not come from an institutional source!" But this is as silly as audiophiles dismissing the MP3 format because it wasn't an improvement in audio quality, missing entirely that the package of "moderate quality+improved cost and distribution" was what made the format great. Considering MP3 as nothing more than a lossy compression scheme missed the bundle of services that it enabled.
