Are New Cars Too Expensive To Fix?
Are New Cars Too Expensive To Fix?
04/19/2004 01:30 AMWith all the expensive safety equipment, electronics, sensors and
gadgets in new cars, it's getting to the point where
it's
increasingly less reasonable to fix them if they've been in an
accident. The article includes an example story of a relatively new
BMW that was flipped: despite a lack of serious structural damage, the
car was considered totaled by the insurance company, in large part due
to the cost of replacing all six airbags (including the sensors and
pyrotechnics) that went off in the accident. Even fancier lighting is
causing problems. Xenon headlights have become quite popular among
thieves - but can cost thousands of dollars to replace, especially
when additional body damage is done by the thief. Some are even
saying that we're creating "disposable" cars that are simply too
expensive to repair when things go wrong.

Is Microsoft Less Expensive Than Linux?
12/04/2003 06:03 PMUNTIL RECENTLY, if you wanted to find someone who thought that a
Windows-based program was cheaper than one based on Linux, you had to
go all the way to Redmond. No more. Not since Microsoft paid Forrester
Research's Giga Research to conduct a comparative study of the costs
of developing a Web-based portal. The study compared the costs
incurred by five large and midsize companies that used the Java 2
Enterprise Edition with costs incurred by seven large and midsize
companies that used .Net applications. For large corporations in the
study, the cost of using Microsoft products for development and
deployment plus three years of maintenance was 28 percent less than
the cost for J2EE/Linux.

Saturday-night stay-over rule for cheaper tickets could be a boon to
business travelers. But some rivals balked at the idea and analysts
warned the move could reduce the already struggling industry's
revenues as much as $3 billion a year if every carrier followed
suit.

Want To Buy The Most Expensive Movie
Ticket Of Your Life?
11/18/2003 12:51 PMRight at the top of the dot com bubble, there were a new clump of
startups that were focused on the idea of letting your "everyday
investor" invest in early stage startups. Since everyone had become
knowledgeable about how angels and VCs were investing in private
companies and becoming insanely wealthy when they went public, a bunch
of VCs thought they would capitalize on the average investor's desire
to be part of the "next big dot com". Of course, plans like that make
sense when every startup does well, but they fall apart quickly when
the bubble pops. There's a reason why private companies take money
from certain individuals and firms and there's a reason why it's
called "risk" capital. These investments can (and often do) disappear
in an instant. So, I find it a bit amusing that Hollywood has
suddenly latched onto a similar plan, and are trying to
sell shares in a new "independent" movie, starring Ethan
Hawke, to the public. A minimum buy will cost you nearly $1,000 and
you are
extremely unlikely to see a penny of that in return.
The folks selling these shares aren't looking for
investors,
they're looking for suckers who want to think they're a part of the
movie business. About the most anyone who buys into this is likely to
see in return is a movie - and, you can probably just wait a bit and
spend a few bucks at the theater (or even less at the local video
store) for that.

The Return Of Useless Expensive
Conferences
The Return Of Useless Expensive
Conferences
05/14/2004 01:32 PMAbout a year ago, I got annoyed at some of the pointless "big thinker"
conferences that were showing up and wrote up a random essay about
the
conference I wanted to attend, which was basically playing off the
idea that the only useful time at a conference was at lunch, when you
actually got to talk to others. I also wanted to force people at the
conference into seeing things from the side of people who opposed
them, just to make the conversation a little more interesting.
Unfortunately, it appears that, with the economy starting to comeback,
conference organizers are pushing more of these useless "big thinker"
conferences. Charles Cooper over at CNET is
making a similar
point to the one I made after getting invited to yet another of
these pointless conferences that wants to charge a few thousand
dollars (he doesn't say, but the conference in question is Web 2.0).
Basically, they're putting the same people on stage and expecting
everyone to pay thousands of dollars (though, to make this one even
worse: it's "invite only" - but you can
request an invitation to
pay $2,000, which seems particularly obnoxious) to listen to
people say what you already know they're going to say. As Cooper
points out: "It is not long before at least half the attendees slip
into the corridor, where the conversation is infinitely more
interesting. Plus, there's coffee." All that for between $1,695 to
$2,790. No thanks.
Red Hat Professional Workstation: More

Red Hat Professional Workstation: More
expensive, fewer features
02/18/2004 03:50 AMRed Hat Professional Workstation was designed to allow former users of
the company's consumer product line to continue to use a supported
platform without having to migrate to Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Unfortunately, it fails to live up to its predecessors in key areas,
and is considerably more expensive in some usage scenarios. Home users
should look to the Fedora Project if they wish to continue using Red
Hat technology, or consider migrating to another Linux distribution.
Small businesses should analyse their current expenditure and consider
migrating to another vendor.

Bluetooth As A Way Of Sniffing Out
Hidden Expensive Gadgets?
06/17/2005 03:33 PMWhat is it about new technologies and crime that make people simply
assume that it must be true? Last year we talked about
polic
e passing on urban legends about certain crimes. The latest
questionable police warning is pointed out with reasonable skepticism
by
Engadget
saying that police in the UK are warning that crooks are
using Bluetooth
to sniff out hidden computers and phones that people leave in
their cars. The idea is that the crook would walk around with a
Bluetooth-enabled phone and look for profiles to link up with. If one
is there, then he knows that the car he's next to has something
Bluetooth-enabled in it, making it worthwhile to break-in. Or, so
goes the theory. The police don't seem to have any evidence of this,
but they estimate that
more than half of all car break-ins now
involve this technique. They don't actually appear to have caught
anyone who's done this, so it seems like someone came up with this
possibility, and now they assume that any Bluetooth-enabled gadget
that's been stolen must have been stolen that way.
