Mark Hurd, who will take over the reins at floundering tech giant Hewlett-Packard on Friday, was grilled by analysts Wednesday about whether he plans drastic restructuring of the company.

Hurd, formerly the chief executive officer of NCR (Research), was named CEO on Tuesday. During an introductory conference call with the financial community Wednesday morning, Hurd stressed that his primary goal is to repair the problems at HP (Research), and not necessarily break up the company. "You talk about problems but there are a bunch of opportunities at the same time," Hurd said in response to one question about strategy. "I want to get underneath every piece of the business and will be focused on doing my best to optimize each part."

Breaking Mail

Breaking Mail 06/17/2005 05:03 PM
We (Creative Commons) just upgraded to Apple's Tiger to get the benefit of some cool new iCal features. I'm regretting the decision already. I had moved to Mail.app a while ago, after being frustrated with Entourage's bloat. And after some tinkering, I had crafted a series of hotkeys to automatically move mail from the inbox to different folders. I have always been astonished that this function wasn't integrated into mail applications -- do you all really drag and drop the hundred of emails you file, or do you just not file email? Anyway, though Apple proudly lists all the improvements to Mail as an inducement to upgrade, it doesn't list the things it broke -- in particular, scripting. No longer can you script within Mail. And while you can script at the system level, hot-key support for those scripts doesn't work right now. This is a bug, no doubt. I imagine they'll fix it. But meanwhile, they've also changed the naming convention for such scripts (used to be ctrl, now ctl, etc., or something like that). All of which makes me wonder: who is it that thinks changes like this are improvements? How could you ever imagine that there's more good than harm done by a change like this? Just part of an endless conspiracy to disable the ability to automate life in macland. Why work to automate when some genius will change a convention to force you to recode every time you "up"grade a system? Update: I thought I had posted this update last week. Sorry for the delay. Just about an hour after I posted this, a modest coder sent along his work which solves the problem. Check out Red-Sweater's Fastscripts. See also this free plug-in.

Breaking Down Language Barriers

Breaking Down Language Barriers 07/18/2004 08:08 PM
One of the big problems in the American presence in Iraq has been a wall of misunderstanding and ignorance brought about by lack of language skills and a lack of information. Machine translation is getting better all the time, and we're seeing some of the results of that improvement here. The gear in the picture is a piece in the puzzle. From a satellite dish outside this tent at the Strong Angel II exercise, it's capturing and recording the Al-Manar TV station, a Hezbollah outlet. U.S. military and aid workers may not like what this and other Arabic stations are broadcasting, but they need to know what's being said -- to know what prominent Arab news outlets are saying about the U.S. occupation of Iraq and other issues. Audio is extracted from the news broadcasts, and converted to text in a speech-to-text program. Then the Arabic text is translated, also by a machine, into English. The results, twice removed from what the announcers have said, are rough approximations. But they capture the gist of the reports. The video, audio and texts (Arabic and English) go into a database. Sean Colbath, senior engineer at the BBN Technologies Speech and Language Processing Group, pulls out items -- short video quotes -- that look especially interesting or relevant to the key topics of the day. He bundles them into a file that goes to a human translator on the mainland, who gives an accurate rendering of what the broadcast snippet actually told the audience. This is a blending of human and machine translation capabilities, and it's a smart one. The machines get us part of the way. Humans capture more subtlety, but machines can winnow out a lot of the dross first. Colbath's gear is just one element in the translation tests here at Strong Angel, where people from the military, civilian, governmental and non-governmental spheres are testing new ways to communicate and collaborate in the aftermath of great human tragedy. Another experiment, which I have yet to see, sounds amazing: a chat in which you input in one language, someone gets your input in a different language and replies in his or her own tongue, which then comes back to you in your language. I'll tell you more when I've seen it up close.

People tired of emptying their wallets every time they fill up the tank can now turn to a free service on MSN® at http://www.autos.msn.com/ that makes it easy to find less expensive gas in their area. The customized service analyzes prices at 30,000 gas stations daily. All consumers have to do is type in their ZIP code, and MSN will tell them less expensive places to fill up.
