Is Microsoft Downsizing the Tablet PC? 04/14/2005 10:15 AM
First it was the slate. Then it was the PC-Tablet convertible. Now it's a mini-Tablet that can do everything that a traditional Tablet PC can do, plus store electronic books, that could end up as the new gadget on which Microsoft is betting to further Tablet PC momentum.

A prototype of a new device—described by sources as a type of hybrid Tablet PC/eBook—has been making its way around the Microsoft Corp. Redmond campus, according to sources. The mini-Tablet, which measures about six inches by eight inches and features a digitizer, is just one of a number of new Tablet form factors expected to debut in the coming months.

Microsoft rules out Arabic on Tablet 01/28/2004 06:40 PM
Microsoft is not planning to offer an Arabic handwriting recogniser for its Tablet PC operating system for at least another year and a half, Middle East developers heard this week. Speaking at the Microsoft Middle East Developers Conference in Cairo this week, Shiraz Somji, development lead for the Tablet Platform Group, said developing an Arabic recogniser did not make sense commercially. “The Tablet PC market that we are shooting at is the laptop market,” he told delegates. “If you look at the laptop market then about nine languages will cover about 89% of that market. Developing a recogniser is a huge effort. To do it properly for Arabic, we would need at least 10 to 12 million handwriting samples, and we’d need to set up offices in at least two or three different areas just to collect those samples.

Thanks Stephen "Last October, Microsoft chairman and chief software architect Bill Gates unveiled an early technical preview of Longhorn -- the planned next-generation Windows operating system -- to attendees at the Redmond, Washington-based company's Professional Developers Conference. Jim Allchin, group vice president of the Platforms Group at Microsoft, previewed Avalon, the graphics subsystem behind Longhorn's new presentation technologies; WinFS, Longhorn's storage subsystem; and Indigo, the basis for the pending operating system's communications technologies. Companies already developing in Microsoft's .NET environment are well positioned to take advantage of Longhorn's advances, Allchin told the thousands of developers gathered at the event. "

Dubbed the Experience Pack for Tablet PC, the new add-on features six new utilities that enhance the Tablet PC in fun and exciting ways. The Experience Pack for Tablet PC consists of the following applications and add-ons: Energy Blue theme and Windows Media Player skin - This theme first debuted with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and was previously made available to Tablet PC owners as a separate download. The theme is cleaner and more professional looking than the default XP theme. Ink Desktop - An innovative OS add-on that lets you jot notes and drawings directly on the XP desktop. You can configure Ink Desktop to display different templates--like a note pad, to-do list, or monthly calendar--or to be completely transparent. Snipping Tool 2.0 - A full-featured update to a classic Tablet PC PowerToy that lets you virtually clip information from Web pages and other documents, the new Snipping Tool includes a completely revamped user interface, different clipping styles (including rectangular and complete window), and various paste targets. Ink Art - An amazing natural paint program that is so realistic you'll think you're painting or drawing directly on the Tablet's screen. One stunning feature, the tracing paper, lets you paint "over" digital photographs, leading to artistic interpretations of your favorite pictures, even if you're not an artist. Ink Crossword - A virtual crossword puzzle that comes with 12 puzzles and the ability to download more free and paid puzzles. Ink Crossword includes an optional timer, a letter help feature, and will prompt you when you've entered correct or incorrect letters. Media Transfer - A software-based Windows Media Connect client that lets Tablet PC owners easily download or stream digital photos, music, and videos from other XP-based PCs in their home.

Microsoft stagnation will lead consumers
to Apple or Walmart?

Microsoft stagnation will lead consumers
to Apple or Walmart? 09/09/2004 09:17 AM

A couple of MIT undergrads were over here at the house yesterday.  These technology connoisseurs said that the stagnation of features available in Windows will drive consumers to buying Macintosh computers, especially laptops.  Apple is apparently on a roll with new OS features including a disconnected and resync-able file system scheduled to ship in 2005 (didn't Carnegie Mellon do this with Andrew File System many years ago?).  I compared their prediction to the high-end audio nerd's belief that CDs would be supplanted by a digital format with superior sound quality.

In the audio market the connoisseurs were mostly wrong.  There are two competing high quality digital music formats, SACD and DVD-A.  Together there are fewer than 1000 titles available in these formats, more than two years after their release, and you can't find these in most record stores.  By contrast the mass market has embraced digital music formats that are lower quality than CD:  MP3, XM Radio, Sirius Radio (the satellite radios put out about 64 Kbits/channel and are noticeably inferior to a regular FM station, even on a fairly cheap set of speakers).

Suppose that Microsoft never adds another feature to Windows?  Not even my personal pet desire, the ability to display and lightly manipulate camera raw format images that come from high quality digital cameras.  Would that drive consumers to buy Macintosh?  Not if the computer market turns out to be like the audio market where people said "CD quality is more than good enough; I just want music that is more convenient and/or cheaper".  People would say "Windows XP Home is good enough but let's get it for as little as possible".  The result will be a $350 laptop at Walmart.  I met a senior Dell engineer recently and he told me that Dell was already producing a laptop on which they could cut the price to $500, without downgrading any components, and still make a profit.  The cheapest Macintosh laptop, by contrast, is $1100.

People who stopped buying CDs now spend their home entertainment budget on fancy digital cable.  If Microsoft's feature stagnation leads to a big drop in the average price of a purchased PC who will pick up the dollars not spent?  My prediction is mobile phone makers and carriers.  I saw a billboard yesterday for a Nextel phone with built-in GPS and voice-prompt navigation.  That seems more useful to most people than whatever OS tweaks Apple and Microsoft might offer to their 1970s-style mouse-windows-keyword systems.

The Granick Slate

The Granick Slate 03/06/2004 01:51 AM
Jennifer Granick's slate card for today's election is out. Granick's judgment about things political is a standard for all right (as in correct) thinking people out here. To the surprise of some, she has endorsed Senator Edwards:

"Kerry's probably going to be the nominee, and hopefully our next president, and I'm feeling pretty good about that. But he's got to learn the lesson that Howard Dean taught the Democrats, which is that you can't win by playing it safe and hoping to get the "Anyone But Bush" vote. You have to take a stance. Edwards' "Two Americas" platform is great. He's talking about class and race and a vision of how government can help regular people. I think that the Democrats need to heed this message, and a vote for Edwards will help."

Art Mobs in Slate

Art Mobs in Slate 07/21/2004 07:44 PM

Slate is running a piece today entitled "Art Mobs" that takes a look at how collaboration between artists has changed as things move online. It covers graphical, film, and text pieces, but the best example is a song.

We've profiled MacJams before, the site built around sharing tracks for Apple's Garageband users. They've got Creative Commons licenses built in and this slate article highlights the final track "Please Eat." It is the fourth version of an earlier cut, and in the end four different musicians contributed 36 separate tracks to the final song.

I did some digging around and here is the original track, which is licensed under an Attribution license. If you'd like to further mash the track, the final track mentioned is under an Attribution-Noncommercial license.

Slate on variety meats

Slate on variety meats 04/23/2004 01:46 PM

Interesting article over at Slate about all the gross things you usually only eat disguised as hot dogs, Offal Good - Why upscale chefs are serving euphemistically named "variety meats." Apparently British chef Fergus Henderson has a new book out entitled The Whole Beast: Nose to Tail Eating that has recipes for all the parts that Americans tend to throw away.

The publication of Henderson's book heralds a new fashion in food, already discernable in various hot restaurants in New York: offal, the organs and extremities (nose, cheeks, tail, feet) of butchered animals, has become chic.

Foie gras, truffles, and other traditional staples of gastronomic excess now find themselves cheek by jowl on upscale menus with, well, cheeks and jowls.

I haven't noticed this trend yet, but maybe I'm not eating at the "right" spots. I certainly don't think I'll rush out and buy the book any time soon. While I'm in favor of using the whole of the animal or plant -- and don't like waste one bit -- I have a hard time trimming the tips off a chicken's wings before I put it in to roast. As a failed vegetarian, I now enjoy meat occasionally when I'm out, but it's pretty much impossible for me to do any kind of chopping, hacking, or anything else with animal parts in my own kitchen. I don't expect to be boiling a pig's head any time soon, even if I had a pot it would fit in.

Also, who's the editor at Slate that allowed such horrible pun for the title?

Microsoft's Clean Slate

Microsoft's Clean Slate 07/24/2004 06:14 PM
Daniel Gross' largely lucid explanation of Microsoft's current business position, which appears on Slate Magazine (owned and operated by Microsoft, though maybe not for much longer) glaringly ignores something: the company's lawbreaking ways. He compares Microsoft to the old AT&T. That's actually a more apt comparison than you might think. AT&T was a regulated monopoly. Microsoft is not. But the software company does have the government's blessing, which makes its hegemony much worse for the rest of us. If Microsoft is the new AT&T, it should be regulated, not wet-kissed by the president and his people. When he says Microsoft "beat back" antitrust challenges, that's quite the spin. Microsoft basically got clobbered in the trial and in the appeals court. Only when the Bush administration intervened to give back what it had won in court -- a settlement that was a craven cave-in -- did Microsoft finally get away with its illegal acts. Then, with the coast essentially clear on serious stuff, Microsoft spent billions to get rid of private antitrust lawsuits it surely would have lost. Of course, for Microsoft, billions of dollars amount to petty cash, which is why it's giving some of the loot back to shareholders. We are paying dearly for Bush's deal with Gates, and we'll continue to pay for years go come, in lost innovation and high prices. If Microsoft succeeds in extending the Windows and Office monopolies into putting a toll booth on all digital content, we'll pay even more. Maybe the Kerry administration will start enforcing antitrust laws again for the biggest, most brutal monopolist of recent history. Note: Maybe I missed it, but I can't find any reference on the Slate site of Microsoft's declared wish to sell the magazine. Odd.

Microsoft Trying To Sell Slate

Microsoft Trying To Sell Slate 07/23/2004 03:08 PM
It looks like Microsoft is giving up on the Slate experiment. Launched with great fanfare by Microsoft as an online magazine, it went through its disastrous attempt to charge people to subscribe (a plan that almost everyone involved admitted was a huge failure), and eventually went back to offering it's daily free content. Whenever people talk about independent online magazines, they point to Salon and Slate, and mention that while Salon seems to hang on with last minute investment after last minute investment, Slate keeps going thanks to billions in Microsoft money. That may no longer be the case. Microsoft is apparently talking with a variety of media companies about selling the online magazine. Apparently, Microsoft is looking to use the sale to do a bigger advertising deal with some media company, but if that doesn't work out, selling the whole thing isn't a problem.
