Why Sony Can't Create An iTunes For

Why Sony Can't Create An iTunes For
Movies
03/31/2005 07:20 AM
As if the content companies haven't already been making fools of themselves with some recent strategic decisions, things are only going to get worse. Sony is now saying that it wants to create an "iTunes for movies," saying it will "set business models, pricing models, distribution models like (Apple chief Steve) Jobs did for music, but for the film industry." First of all, that's simply not going to happen. Sony is in the content business itself -- so its competitors in the movie business probably aren't going to be thrilled about contributing to its movie store. However, even if they can set up business models, pricing models and distribution models just like iTunes, they've totally missed the point. That, alone, is not what made iTunes successful. It's the customer experience. Apple made the customer experience work. They made it easy. While some of their decisions have been less than user friendly concerning copy protection and the forced-iPod connection -- overall it's the user experience that makes iTunes work. That means, for the most part, not treating your customers like criminals. However, Sony's entertainment execs have made it clear that they already view their customers as criminals and will do everything they can to lock all their content down. Hell, just take a look at Sony's widely disparaged alread y existing iTunes clone for music to see how copying the business model isn't nearly enough.

Sony to create "iTunes for movies,"
release 500 films digitally within a
year
03/31/2005 11:46 PM
Xeni Jardin: At a conference in Santa Monica today, Sony Pictures Digital Entertainment SVP Michael Arrieta said:
"We want to set business models, pricing models, distribution models like (Apple Computer CEO Steve) Jobs did for music, but for the film industry," [said Arrieta], "I'm trying to create the new 'anti-Napster."

To that end, Arrieta said, his group plans to digitize Sony Pictures' top 500 films and make them available for the first time in various digital environments within the next year. He said the distribution for films like "Spider-Man 2" will go beyond just Movielink, the video-on-demand joint venture of Sony Pictures and several other major studios, which to date has hosted a limited library of Sony's movies.

For example, Sony plans to sell and make films available in flash memory for mobile phones in the next year, Arrieta said. It also will further develop its digital stores for downloading and owning films on the PC, he said in an interview. Sony's plans--and similar moves by other studios--are likely to avoid empowering any one technology company--such as Apple in the music equation--and allow studios to pocket more of the profits. The philosophy in Hollywood is "Define your own agenda or someone else will for you."

Hurricane report from Q-Burns Abstract
Message


Hurricane report from Q-Burns Abstract
Message
08/18/2004 12:23 PM
Famed DJ and friend of BoingBoing Michael Donaldson, aka QBurns Abstract Message, had just returned from tour in Eastern Europe last week when the hurricane hit his home in Florida. There's no electricity yet in many places, but he's hiding out in his recording studio with a dial-up connection and a hamster-powered laptop and e-mails us this report. Image: snapshot of a frightened cat coming out of hiding a couple days after the storm.
The winds here in Orlando were at about 90 MPH when it hit. The was a lot of destruction, but somehow my house and property ended up completely unscathed. The worst part lasted 45 minutes. I just sat in the dark with my cat and a bottle of wine watching the whole thing out the window. It was really crazy. Saw the trees flapping around and then I kept seeing flashes of blue and green in the sky ... I thought this was some strange lightning but found out later it was actually electrical transformers exploding across the neighborhood. Wow.

I've been through at least 3 hurricanes in my life and have never seen anything like this either. The city is like a warzone with debris and fallen trees and power lines everywhere. It was starting to get cleaned up as I left home yesterday, so hopefully when I return all will be back to normal. I can't even imagine what it looks like down south in the Ft. Meyers area, which received the full force of the storm. It actually weakened a bit before it hit central Florida.

My business partner has a 30 foot tree laying in his backyard. Another friend has a tree about that big in his swimming pool (no idea how he'll get that out). Yet another friend lives in a neighborhood that is in a 'dead end' road. A huge tree has fallen in the path of their only exit, and they can only leave by foot. I guess I got off easy. None of us have any power, though.

The storm was followed by eerie silence and the even eerier sight of my neighborhood residents walking the lightless streets, Night Of The Living Dead-style, surveying the damage. A friend of mine owned a bar that miraculously had power so after a few phone calls we convened there 90 minutes after the hurricane's end. About 60 people showed and I started playing records and doing vodka shots. This had the makings of a really nice party as a ton of frustration and stress was being expelled by all. We were stopped at about 1 AM by a number of cops who claimed the city was in a state of emergency and there was a curfew in effect all over the city. We either left the party or we were to be arrested. Thus we were ordered to tipsily navigate the darkened, traffic light-less, wreckage covered streets to our hot, powerless, and, in some cases, devastated homes. You think the 'man' would give us a break.

images part one, images part two. And here's a gallery of personal snaps from Maria, one of the "hurricane party" attendees (owner of the frightened cat above): Link. Bonus: a brand new Q-Burns Abstract Message DJ mix available for online listening and/or download -- Link

Update: an anonymous BB reader sends in this wmv file -- a composite of time-lapse stills of Hurricane Charley hitting Florida over the span of about seven hours. Link

Brief Abstract of Wikipedia's
Mesothelioma Cancer page


Brief Abstract of Wikipedia's
Mesothelioma Cancer page
06/26/2005 02:07 AM
Mesothelioma is an uncommon form of cancer, usually associated with previous exposure to asbestos. In this disease, malignant (cancerous) cells develop in the mesothelium, a protective lining that covers most of the body's internal organs. Its most common site is the pleura (outer lining of the lungs and chest cavity), but it may also occur in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity) or the pericardium (a sac that surrounds the heart).
Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles, or have been exposed to asbestos dust and fibre in other ways, such as by washing the clothes of a family member who worked with asbestos, or by home renovation using asbestos cement products.
In the United States, the average mesothelioma-related settlement was $1 million; for cases that go to trial awards averaged $6 million, according to a study by the RAND Corporation. Only a small fraction of the thousands of asbestos-related lawsuits in the United States every year are related to mesothelioma. In 2004, a bill in the United States Senate aimed a asbestos litigation reform failed to reach a floor vote. In January of 2005, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter announced he would again try to pass an asbestos litigation reform bill.
A separate bill introduced on March 17, 2005, the Fairness in Asbestos Injury Resolution Act of 2005 (FAIR act of 2005), seeks to ensure a set amount of compensation dependent on the symptoms of the victim. The range is from Medical Monitoring for victims with Asbestosis or Pleural Disease to $35,000 for victims with Mixed Disease With Impairment all the way to over $1,000,000 for Mesothelioma victims and nonsmoking Lung Cancer victims from: Wikipedia's Mesothelioma page
