It's All About The Bundle

It's All About The Bundle 12/29/2003 01:44 PM
In the telecommunications world, bundling is everything. Realizing that there's incredible (downward) pricing pressure on just about every communications related service, the various providers are betting on bundling as a solution. There is a very good reason for this: customers who buy into a bundle are much less likely to leave for another provider. This makes sense. It's easy to change your long distance provider - but if that also means having to have someone come and install a different setup for your internet access, it creates a hurdle. It also means that customers are paying more money to the provider - though, usually at a lower per service fee. The problem, though, is that for all the bundling hype, many customers still aren't going for it. They understand the potential lock-in, and don't like it. They like the ability to keep their various communications options separate so they have that extra degree of freedom. Still, if the pricing is reasonable enough, many more people are sure to go with a bundle. In fact, many providers are pricing individual services so high that it's nearly impossible not to agree to a bundle.

Thanks a bundle, HP

Thanks a bundle, HP 04/09/2004 04:08 PM

I needed to scan a couple of signed documents at work, as a cheaper alternative to locating a fax machine. The office scanner is an HP scanjet 4570c. I plugged it in to the back of my PowerBook to see if it would work straight away, as pretty much everything else I've plugged in has. It didn't. Fair enough, I can't expect Apple to pre-install drivers for everything. So I headed over to HP's site to grab the necessary software.

All 170 MB of it!

Opera 7 is 3.8 MB. FireFox is 10 MB. Heck, the whole Mozilla suite is only 15 MB. What on earth could a scanner need that's more than ten times the size of Mozilla?

So I gritted my teeth and proceeded with the download. Ten minutes later (thank goodness for broadband) the installer started up, and cheerfully told me I would have to quit all of my applications so it could restart my machine. If I clicked OK, it would shut them all down for me before proceeding with the install. Definitely no chance of me doing some useful work while it was copying over 7,000 files around my computer. Who needs multi-tasking anyway?

Gngngnngngng.

Another ten minutes later (I run a lot of apps) and the installer's off on its merry way. A while after that it restarts my Mac. Time to see why goodies HP has provided:

• HP Photo and Imaging Director (added to my Dock, thanks for asking(!))
• HP Photo and Imaging Gallery
• HP Quick Print
• HP E-mail Portal
• HP PrecisionScan Pro
• HP ScanJet Copy Utiliy
• HP ScanJet Manager
• HP Scanner Preferences
• ScanLaunch
• HP Send To Application
• HP Share-to-Web
• Memories Disc
• HP WebUpdate
• Readiris 7 Pro (OCR software)
• HP Uninstaller

I took a guess and fired up Imaging Director, taking the addition to my Dock as a clue that this was the best place to start. Options included "Scan Picture" and "Scan Document". "Scan Document" launched the OCR software, then promptly crashed. "Scan Picture" managed to scan the image, dropping it in to Imaging Gallery. It wasn't at all obvious what Imaging Gallery was actually for, so I dragged the scan back out of it, opened it in my own choice of image software and did what I needed to do.

I'm now left with 170 MB of useless, apparently buggy software. Thank goodness for the uninstaller. Does using a scanner really have to involve this much hassle?

ECS EZ-Bundle 2 Entertainment PC

ECS EZ-Bundle 2 Entertainment PC 06/14/2004 01:13 PM

Although I was too excited at first, thinking that the ECS EZ-Bundle 2 small form factor PC had an integrated front-LCD panel, it's still a nice looking box, with the front display looking every bit the part of a stereo system component. It's actually fairly large for a SFF PC, but small enough for most I would imagine, especially since the bundled 17-inch LCD and other accessories means this is probably more for those who use their computer as their entire entertainment system and not part of a dedicated Home Theater PC setup.

Really, though, it'd be nice if someone would start putting a small LCD on the front of the boxes as a secondary display -- 640 x 480 would suffice -- so you could queue up movies or music, tweak settings, or pop out to the net for a second without having to disrupt the visuals on the primary display.
