Valve Software Bullying Cybercafes

Valve Software Bullying Cybercafes 06/11/2004 05:34 PM
Ernest Miller writes "Yesterday, Valve CEO Gabe Newell thanked the gaming coummunity for helping to catch those responsible for the theft of Half-Life 2 code by saying, "Everyone here at Valve is once again reminded of how much we owe to the gaming community." What he didn't say was that Valve was demonstrating its appreciation by threatening to sue a cybercafe that was offering Valve's Counter-Strike as one of the games people could play. Companies like Microsoft often let cybercafes offer their games as long as they buy each copy of the game they use. At the other end of the scale, Valve charges more than most cybercafes can afford to let them use 5-year old, freely downloadable as a mod, games. Furthermore, instead of merely sending a cease and desist letter ("knock it off or we will sue"), Valve sent a prepay us for a license or we'll sue letter. In other words, unless the cybercafe pays for a one-year license, they will be sued. The next time you don't find any Valve games at your local LAN center, you'll know why. Perhaps fans of LAN gaming and the professional gaming leagues ought to consider whether Valve's aggressive, overbearing stance towards LAN centers is helpful to the gaming community or not. "

Telesym Shuts Down

Telesym Shuts Down 04/16/2005 09:36 AM
Voice over IP in the enterprise company winds down: Five short weeks ago, I was over at Telesym's bustling headquarters east of Seattle having a great conversation recorded partly in this podcast about Telesym's latest products and the tweaks they had made to their offering to better integrate it into enterprise phone switches. Now the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports that the company has laid off most employees with severance packages and hopes to return some capital to investors if it can sell its intellectual property. The CEO says fairly bluntly that their product doesn't scale, so I'm not sure how encouraging that would be to potential buyers. The company's two co-founders were pushed out in previous months, and they're a little bitter about how the products developed without their shepherding them to completion. One of their competitors, Vocera, says the company floundered by not having a sharp focus and by--at least initially--targeting voice over PDAs. This disregards the success that phone/PDA combos have had in the marketplace, of course, but the company was too far ahead of that market. They were also too far ahead of convergence phones that would have benefitted from their integration on the enterprise and Wi-Fi side while roaming onto cellular as necessary. My kiss of death interview record is unfortunately quite good: I interviewed the CEO of Cometa just weeks before they coasted to a halt....

SuprNova Shuts Down

SuprNova Shuts Down 12/22/2004 01:03 AM

A few weeks ago I got hooked on the ABC series "Lost". Of course that happened after the season was well under way, which has led to a secondary addiction to BitTorrent sharing so that I could catch the episodes I'd missed.

Yesterday, SuprNova shut things down — seemingly for good — which shut down access to the site where I had been getting the torrent links for the "Lost" episodes I had missed. That put me into severe withdrawl because there are several episodes I haven't seen.

Last week The Register published an excellent analysis of how widespread this bittorrent addiction is; torrents account for a full 35% of Internet traffic. But as we all know, success like that can quickly turn sour, as sites like SuprNova face mounting legal pressure to put a stop to illegal file sharing. We've talked about the propriety of BitTorrent and TV shows a co uple of times already, and to me it seems to me that pulling down a torrent file of a show that I could've taped should be ok. But from some of the other torrent listings I've seen while looking for the "Lost" episodes there are lots of people on the Naughty List for sharing a lot of content that hadn't ought to be shared.

I have found other feed listings for "Lost", so I think there is hope for now. But if torrenting gets shut down for good, what's a poor junkie like me to do?

Ensemble Shuts Down

Ensemble Shuts Down 04/20/2004 11:29 AM
America's Network reports that sources say Ensemble has closed its doors: Ensemble has long been active in the fixed broadband wireless space. One analyst in this story suggests that the development of the 802.16 standard challenges companies that have proprietary or legacy fixed wireless gear. However, Ensemble built LMDS equipment and the LMDS spectrum has largely been used to deliver high-speed Internet access to businesses, usually in a downtown area. That's a slightly different market than WiMax will likely serve. Also, WiMax gear isn't out there yet so it's hard to say that competition from WiMax put the squeeze on Ensemble. It's tough to make the argument that WiMax will challenge vendors that have proprietary gear because many of the vendors pursuing WiMax had proprietary solutions. But they've chosen to evolve in an effort to meet the requirements of 802.16. It's not a great business plan to decide to continue down the path of proprietary gear when a new widely supported standard is being developed that will compete with your solution. It's unfortunate to see Ensemble go down, although it seems that some executives jumped ship a while back so perhaps they had a clue that something was amiss. In the LMDS heyday, Ensemble was considered a leader in the industry and one focused on innovative technology....

The Matrix Shuts Down... Without Keanu's
Help 04/15/2005 06:43 PM
Last year there was as lot of hype over the so-called MATRIX system, designed by a bunch of state governments to make it easier to tie together information from a bunch of databases. While some of the hype concerning it was overblown, the problem was (as always) that it wasn't entirely clear how the system would be used, and how abuses would be prevented. In fact, some were trying to set up the system so that it would spit out a "terrorist quotient" on people entered into the system. After a bunch of states bailed out, leaving only four, it appears that the folks in Homeland Security have decided to stop funding the MATRIX and it's being shut down -- though, it's possible it may rise again. This must be the point at which it starts enslaving weak humans and turning them into batteries, right?

The FBI Friday shut down its e-mail system, which is run by a private company, after it had discovered a possible hacking attempt. If the system was indeed compromised, it could pose a potential security problem due to the sensitive nature of some e-mails. However, officials said the possibility of an actual security breach was low.
