Microsoft Talks Tough About Open Source 05/25/2004 11:46 AM
A top official of Microsoft last week claimed that governments that support open source software are not helping build a viable software ecosystem in their communities. Chris Sharp, director for platform strategy for Microsoft in the Asia-Pacific and Greater China region, said governments that standardize on open source software are hurting their local commercial software vendor communities because these companies are being robbed of opportunities to make money that they need to invest in developing more software products.

Tough on Terror, or Tough on Liberty?

Tough on Terror, or Tough on Liberty? 12/12/2003 10:06 PM
Reports, including this one from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, on a study on the prevalence of terror-related crime hit the wire services several days ago but have received relatively little attention in broad circles. The new study, done by the TRAC research center at Syracuse University, shows that federal investigators have recommended the prosecution of an estimated 6,400 people on terrorism charges since September 11, 2001. Out of 6,400 cases, just 879 have been convicted. Of these, 184 have been convicted of "international terrorism" and the remainder for related charges. Overall, only 123 received significant sentences (over one year in prison) and only 23 were sentenced to five years or more. Also, convictions for "international terrorism" had a median duration of just 14 days, indicating that the vast majority of these convictions were for very minor crimes. The linked story quotes Charles Pena, director of a libertarian group. "It bothers me that we would round up whole bunches of people without an idea about whether they really are a terrorist . . . It certainly is valid to ask whether the whole war on terror is successful."

Times Were Bad, VCs Get Tough; Times Are
Good, VCs Get Tough 05/20/2004 01:05 PM
After the bubble popped, many VCs practically stopped all investing. In the cases where they did invest, they often put in incre dibly onerous terms that gave the VCs a lot more power than they might have deserved (though, some VCs will disagree with this). Of course, now that times are getting better, people are saying that VCs are tightening terms again - so as not to get burned. What this really means is that many VCs are looking for any reason to make the terms more in their favor. Times are bad? Terms need to be tighter. Times are good? Terms need to be tighter to make sure they don't go bad again. The obvious response, of course, is that it is the VC's job to get good terms - but if those terms cause more problems, it's a strategic mistake. If entrepreneurs feel that their VCs are ripping them off, it defeats much of the purpose of getting that VC money in the first place. Besides, as the startup market picks up again (as it's doing) this becomes less of an issue. Already, we hear stories about VCs offering ridiculous valuations to companies because they're in a "hot" space. When competition for the hot startups increases, VCs are suddenly willing to make the terms a bit more reasonable.

Built NEC Tough

Built NEC Tough 08/30/2004 06:26 AM

LIAM "THE INTERN" MCNULTY -- NEC announced a new notebook PC last week that can seemingly take quite a beating. It may cost around $4,000 and weigh 6 pounds, but who cares when it can survive a 3 foot drop and withstand up to 131 degrees Fahrenheit? While they were at it, NEC went ahead and made the thing "dust and waterdrop" resistant too.

Besides that, it looks pretty cool. Another feature is the convenient handle, so when you're uhh...fighting off Siberian tigers with a toothpick in the Himalayas, you can rest assured your laptop is close at hand. (What are Siberian...fine - Ed.)
