Napster Tells University To Shut Up
About Fees
05/12/2004 02:08 PMLast year when Napster convinced Penn State to
offer
their service to students, they spent a lot of effort hyping up
that this was "free!" for students. Of course, most students are
smart enough to
know
better and realize that the university was simply taking the fees
out of money that could be used elsewhere - perhaps in much more
useful ways. So, now, when Ohio University started considering doing
a similar deal with Napster, they figured it was only fair to ask the
students if they were willing to pay $3/month for the service,
claiming that they would need 5,000 students paying $3/month to break
even. Publicly admitting that (gasp!) Napster was going to charge
them was a big no-no for the folks at Napster who have
told
the university they cannot publicly say how much students would be
charged, because obviously it's better to hide that fee in some
other student fees so they can pretend it's free.

Shut Up! "The EU has requested that member states come
to a standstill at noon today to observe a three-minute silence for
victims of the Indian Ocean tsunami. Is this just a shallow, belated
gesture - or the best way to show our solidarity?" Blake
Morrison of the Guardian asks. There's also an interesting
"History of Silences" at the end of the article.

Having installed Windows scores of times — probably more than a
100 in my lifetime — and having installed Linux a few times with
mixed success, I was interested in how the Mac would do. Answer:
Pretty durn easy. As easy as Windows XP, and definitely easier than
Red Hat or Mandrake. And then the fun began. The UI effects are real
crowd-pleasers. It matters to me that the droplets of water play catch
as you wait for something to install. Let's not say I'm
superficial....

Microsoft: Fascinating concept here: just close down Microsoft.
Bill Gates said he wants to keep running the company until it's no
longer fun. Dvorak opines that this time has come, and he explores
how you would just shut down a company like Microsoft. Absurd, but
interesting.
As this is written, the asset or book value of Microsoft per share,
including the $70-plus billion in the bank, is a fraction of the stock
price. But if Microsoft can knock down the stock price with one or two
dubious reports and collect another $50 billion or so while moving
everything offshore, it might be possible to pay out the money to the
shareholders and close the company. Just walk.
[...] all the principals would have their money, houses, and cars,
and would never have to worry about Microsoft going into a pathetic
decline, as most companies eventually do. The closure would be one of
the most interesting episodes in the history of business.

SCO Ordered To Put Up Or Shut Up
SCO Ordered To Put Up Or Shut Up
12/05/2003 06:41 PMI've been avoiding posting the nearly daily back and forth stories
about the SCO/Linux battle because it's almost too crazy to believe.
However, it sounds like the battle of dueling open letters and press
releases may finally be coming to an end as a judge has told
SCO to
show the evidence against IBM already. This is bad news for SCO,
because they've been acting as if it was all IBM's fault that no
evidence had been shown - and the judge clearly does not buy that
argument. Still, it could be a very long time before this case is
settled, so we should be seeing plenty more craziness for the next few
years.
Shut Up and Serve Ads
Shut Up and Serve Ads
10/28/2003 11:08 PMRussell Beattie points out that Google's terms of service requires
that you not publicly discuss AdSense. Jason Kottke points out this
"seems to fly in the face of Sergey Brin's Google rule #1: 'Don't be
evil'." Cory Doctorow agrees saying "Google shouldn't ask all its
users to submit to an unreasonable restriction on their speech in
order to contain the spread of negative information about its
service." Meanwhile, other annoying provisions are that you can't:
have multiple accounts (which is useful when you want to keep separate
statistics for separate sites), talk to advertisers about their ads,
disclose any results, get paid for anything Google considers
"fradulent clicks", find out why they're considered "fraudulent
clicks", pass on payments to anyone. And Google can cancel you
whenever without a reason. Erik Thauvin and Derek Powazek, both
well-respected web writers, got their accounts and payments canceled
for "fraudulent clicks", even though they didn't try to cheat. They
ran ads for Google and now Google refuses to show them any evidence of
wrongdoing or pay them for their space. Some suggest that Google
simply cancels accounts when they payouts get too high to avoid
paying. *Update:* We previously reported that the
don't-talk-about-AdSense provision was recently added. Several
sources, including a Google employee, have said this is a mistake.
We've corrected the story above and apologize for the error....

Transmeta to Shut Down?
Transmeta to Shut Down?
06/05/2005 11:46 PMTransmeta
sells microprocessor unit: Apparently Transmeta — well known
as the landing place of Linus Torvalds
— is going to shut down. They just sold the Crusoe line of
processors to a Hong Kong company.
The deal marks the latest twist in the Transmeta melodrama. The
Sunnyvale, California-based company, which counted Linus Torvalds as
an early employee, hoped to challenge Intel in notebooks with
processors that consumed far less power. Despite signing deals with
brand-name manufacturers such as Sony and Fujitsu in 2000, tepid
performance reviews and product delays followed in 2001.
Deals dried up, three CEOs came and went, and financial losses
increased. Since 1998, the company has posted accumulated losses of
$635 million on revenues of $134 million.
Transmeta's early successes, however, did have a lasting effect:
They prompted Intel to come up with the Centrino processor, chipset
and network-interface bundle.
I remember when this company launched amid total secrecy. They
wouldn't tell anyone what they were doing or working on. When they
hired Linus, everyone went atwitter about what they were up to. Sad
to see it end this way.

05/04/2004 08:08 AMEvery time Symantec AntiVirus 2003 (XP) encounters an incoming message
with a virus, i.e. 10-20 times each time I download email, it puts up
a dialogue box telling me what it's found. It's not asking me for
advice or requiring me to make a decision. It's just patting itself on
its back. And it interrupts the download until I press the button to
dismiss it, presumably with a muttered "Attaboy, Norton, I mean,
Symantec!" Which means I have to sit and watch my screen while I'm
downloading email. With 1,200 incoming spams a day, this gets to be a
bother....

Regulators Help SBC Shut Off Competition
Regulators Help SBC Shut Off Competition
09/24/2004 11:32 AMMercury News: SBC Gets PL to Raise Wholesale
Phone Rates. The California Public Utilities Commission on
Thursday gave SBC the go-ahead for a 20 percent increase in the rates
it charges competitors for use of its phone network, a move that
critics say will eventually result in less competition and higher
rates for landline telephone service in California.
Once again, a big regional phone company -- already
overwhelmingly dominant in its market -- pushes regulators to do its
bidding. And once again, genuine competition loses.
SBC and other phone giants have been claiming that they've subsidized
competitors who want to rent their lines -- an infrastructure they
built with monopoly control and revenues, back when no one had any
choice at all. They've never made a persuasive case that it's a
subsidy, and the fact that they never used that alleged subsidy to
enter each others' territories is almost conclusive evidence that the
subsidy doesn't exist.
But never mind; the rate hike is here. And the more serious question
is whether they'll thwart data-line challengers, not just those who
might offer a local voice alternative. That's where we're heading: a
duopoly of phone and cable providers that will stifle our broadband
future until they can exert absolute control over the content of the
data that flows on "their" lines, not just the lines and the cost of
access.
