Sony’s Network Walkman NW-HD1 - the
world’s smallest 20GB ATRAC3 player. 07/01/2004 08:41 PM
Engadget: Sony’s Network Walkman NW-HD1 - the world’s smallest 20GB ATRAC3 player. "The Network Walkman is supposed to be able to get an astounding thirty hours of battery life on a single charge." Dell has been advertising "twice the battery life of iPod" on the radio lately, but the fast talk at the end of the commercial says they assume 64kbps files. Most people probably have 128kbps files on their iPods, so the Dell DJ probably accesses the hard disk half as often -- voila, twice the battery life. And if you use 48kbps audio, like Sony does, then you get three times the iPod's battery life -- around 30 hours. When everybody's using the same parts, the only way to get a 2x or 3x advantage is to cheat.

You know, if you factor in the normal Harley-Davidson markup, the new Road Tech Digital Music Player's $300 price really isn't that bad. Sure, it only has 64MB of memory, and it's on an SD-card, no less, but you can toss that and throw in a gigabyte card, and you're going to be hard pressed to find another MP3 player that is chromed, clips onto your handlebars, and has buttons that are designed to "allow easy operation while wearing gloves." Badass gloves, made from the skin of only the most awesome cows, I'm sure. Cows with tattoos.

Two versions are available for '96 and later model bikes (possibly even non-Harleys. I don't know.)

Google Banner ads

Google Banner ads 06/20/2004 05:17 AM

Google introduces Adsense banner ads.

Google has recently introduced banner ads for their adsense program, so perhaps all the talk about how text ads perform better is not true.

You could argue that banner ads are a different thing, that they are richer media and thus brand advertising. But the difference is that Google's image ads do not pay publishers on an impressions basis, but for clicks, just like current contextual text ads.

Adwords works. People click on text ads which are relevant to a search because they are actively looking for something. But perhaps when ads are served alongside static content, the conversion rate is lower, and perhaps people are starting to ignore them now that the novelty has worn off. So maybe in your face image ads are back, for good reason.

The problem for Google is that image ads are not only 'in your face', they are very much in the face of a website. With the renewed confidence that content publishers now have, my guess is that CPM impressions based advertising will be back. If publishers have leverage they will want the guaranteed revenue that being paid for traffic gives them.

Google got rid of all CPM advertising making a big bet on the best of both worlds CPC model that sits in between an advertiser and publishers needs. If CPM is back is that bad news for Google?

We here at MacMerc.com have a love/hate relationship with banner advertisements. On the one hand they are annoying--especially those "Click the monkey and win a prize" ones. But on the other hand, they help us pay our hosting fees.

Quite a while ago, as a public service to our readers, we posted an article on ad blocking and now that sufficient time has passed and our Google AdSense revenues are dwindling, we thought it might be the appropriate time to see if some method of ad blocking as become a standard part of your internet experience.
