Analysis: New Fujitsu deal looks like
smart long-term move for Sun
06/03/2004 02:03 AMOn the surface, Tuesday's news item about Sun Microsystems and Fujitsu
merging their parallel Solaris and SPARC-based server lines and having
them ready for market in two years looks like just another yawner of a
business partnership deal. But in the bigger picture, it could turn
out to be a brilliant strategic move for Sun, which needs all the help
-- international and otherwise -- it can get right now. Oh, and it
won't hurt Fujitsu, either.

within three months, is a strange brew of optimism, idealism, and
pragmatism – all of which reinforces the adage that "the more things

07/14/2004 12:00 PMDan Bricklin: Software That Lasts
200 Years. We need to start thinking about software in a way
more like how we think about building bridges, dams, and sewers. What
we build must last for generations without total rebuilding. This
requires new thinking and new ways of organizing development. This is
especially important for governments of all sizes as well as for
established, ongoing businesses and institutions.

The long-term cycles of
webl0g-writing...
12/02/2003 01:34 AMWriting for a weblog seems to me to go through cycles. At times,
words just flow from your fingertips effortlessly. The quality of
those words will generally be rather debatable, but they'll have a
fluidity to them and an honesty or playfulness that at least partly
compensates for their lack of substance. Normally with me, these
periods gradually bed down into highly productive periods of good
writing about things that I'm thinking about in greater depth - pieces
of writing that I think have some greater utility or worth about
subjects that I care about. Normally I've been thinking around these
issues for a while but not had the mental discipline to drag them into
a more coherent shape. During these periods, I do my best work.
These periods - inevitably - do not last. What seems to happen is
that the material I want to write gets more and more convoluted, high
concept and/or involved, more necessarily rigorous in execution and
generally larger in scale until such a point where the pressure to
articulate an idea properly overwhelms my ability to write at
all. At those points - suddenly - I find myself completely blocked and
unable to produce anything. Smaller, lighter, trivial posts
occasionally squeeze their way out - but for all intents and purposes,
I'm just unable to write. From there it's a short, unpleasant wait of
mounting tension, frustration and irritation until the walls collapse
and posts pour forth - this time with little or no discrimination in
evidence, full of bad jokes, thrown together collections of links and
the like. And then from there the cycle repeats itself as concepts of
quality and discernment slowly start creeping back into my output.
As a matter of interest - does this pattern sound familiar to
anyone else or is this simply a personal thing?

Dave Duffield Redefines Long Term As
Less Than Three Months
12/28/2004 07:08 PMIt's unlikely to surprise just about anyone, but Dave Duffield won't
stick around to be a part of Oracle, now that the PeopleSoft deal is
set. He apparently
put in his resignation last
week after just a couple months on the job. When he came in,
following the
firing
of Craig Conway in October, many assumed he was brought in to sell
the company to Oracle. He quickly claimed that
he had
no intention of selling to Oracle, which lasted less than two
months before
he
agreed to sell to Oracle. Now that that's done, there's no reason
for him to stick around. Apparently his statement: "I'm here for the
long term," was open to interpretation. Of course, in an age when
Wall Street judges a company's "long term" prospects based on their
quarterly performance, perhaps this does meet the definition of long
term these days.

Intellectual property bad for long-term
corporate profits?
Intellectual property bad for long-term
corporate profits?
12/17/2004 06:35 PMA friend of ours is living in Shanghai and has learned Mandarin, to
read Chinese, and to manage young Chinese computer science
graduates. A bunch of us were kicking around ideas for starting
businesses that would exploit this resource. One of my
suggestions was a tutoring service that would enable yuppie parents in
the U.S. to hire a Chinese tutor/coach to work with their
children via video conference, helping with math and keeping
track of homework goals, etc. A Silicon Valley friend,
let's call him UberNerd, heaped scorn on this idea. "Where's
your intellectual property protection? If you don't have a
patent you can't make any money."
Having flown out to California on JetBlue, which is profitable
despite not being able to patent "being nice" and "free wireless
Internet at the gates in JFK and Long Beach" (not in Logan, presumably
thanks to Massport's having handed out a monopoly to Comcast), and
driving around in a car from Hertz, which is profitable despite not
being able to patent "cars that aren't decrepit", my gut feeling was
that he was wrong. There were at least some companies that were
profitable without extracting rents from intellectual property.
After more consideration I'm beginning to think that intellectual
property is actually bad for long-term profitability.
Checking t
he top 10 out of the Fortune 500 companies, for example, we find
Walmart right on top, followed by Exxon Mobil. Except for IBM
none of the companies feels like one based on intellectual property
and even IBM these days gets most of its revenue from service.
Certainly it is tough to see how an insurance company such as AIG
(#10) and a bank such as Citigroup (#8) are living large from
patents.
Perhaps intellectual property for a corporation is like oil for a
Third World nation. The government of an Arab or African country
need not worry about being efficient nor about the education of its
subjects as long as it can just dig a hole and money comes out of the
ground. By analogy the management of a company such as Disney
can rest assured that quite a bit of revenue will continue to flow
from movies and characters developed many decades ago. Disney's
management can concentrate on transferring money into their personal
checking accounts while Walmart's management has to worry every day
about beating Target, Kmart, and Sears.
Drug companies would seem to be an exception. Most of their
profits indeed comes from a handful of blockbuster patented
drugs. Yet perhaps they are not exceptional if we remember that
the proposition includes "long-term profitability" and if we
adjust for investment and risk. Walmart has crawled to the top
of the Fortune 500 without ever taking the kinds of risk that
hit-or-miss businesses take. And except for Walmart all of the
Top 10 companies were very successful 70 or more years ago whereas
drug companies tend to rise and fall.
Which gets us back to the question of... what kind of business
should one start given that one already has a person on the ground in
Shanghai?
