MIT's Tech Review Pulls A Jayson Blair 03/22/2005 05:03 PM
nonuser writes "MIT's Technology Review retracted two stories on reaction by HP rank and file employees to the firing of CEO Carly Fiorina, both written by a New York freelance journalist named Michelle Delio. The stories referred to a Hungarian immigrant, identified only by the initials G.S., who worked at HP's Imaging System Laboratory for nearly three decades before resigning in disgust in 2003. G.S. compared Fiorina's leadership with that of the Communist regime he had fled. The only problem was the employee apparently didn't exist, as HP officials pointed out to the embarrassed Tech Review editor." Delio (who also used to write articles for Wired News) apparently still insists that the guy is real -- but no one else can find any evidence of him. It's also not clear if this is a case where Delio made the guy up, or someone tricked Delio into believing he was real. The original Tech Review article was a bit strange. When reading it, it seemed that the guy put in enough information about himself that it would be quite easy to figure out who he was if you worked at HP Labs. Still, what may be most interesting is that HP actually did an internal investigation to figure out who the guy was.

Paging Dan Brown and Nicholas Cage

Paging Dan Brown and Nicholas Cage 01/05/2005 06:31 AM
David Pescovitz: Last year, the deeply secretive Knights Templar demanded an apology from the Vatican for persecuting the group in the 14th century. Apparently, the Vatican wasn't entirely against the idea. That surprising communication from the shadowy sect also revealed the hometown of its current grand master. The Guardian went on a quest to Hertfordshire, England to track down the Templars:

If there is something implausible in the idea that huge stretches of world history have been secretly coordinated from a market town just north of the M25 - well, maybe that's what they want you to think. The local newspaper, the Hertfordshire Mercury, certainly seems convinced: over the past few months it has published several intriguing stories quoting local Templars, who told its reporter of a secret network of tunnels under the town that was still in use by the order. "It reaches beyond well known central Hertford locations," one Templar said, "including the tourist office, the castle, Monsoon, Threshers, the post office, Bayley Hall, and the council offices." Treasures of "immense importance" were hidden there, it was claimed. Was the quest for the Holy Grail finally about to come to an end? More surprisingly still, was it about to come to an end underneath Monsoon on Market Place?

The man who has persuaded the Vatican to consider apologising, Tim Acheson, meets the Guardian in icy morning fog in Hertford, wearing smart pinstriped trousers and a thick winter overcoat. His midnight-blue sports car is parked nearby. "As you might expect," he says, setting the tone for the day, "there are going to be some things that I'm not able to discuss."

How Nicholas Carr Misunderstands
Commoditization

How Nicholas Carr Misunderstands
Commoditization 05/11/2004 03:16 PM
Nicholas Carr sure is getting a lot of attention for his book rehashing last year's argument that "IT Doesn't Matter." Last week we had two different posts explaining why Mr. Carr's thesis was wrong. Now, Wired Magazine has let Carr speak for himself, and he does a dreadful job trying to defend his position. It is definitely true that many people misunderstood his thesis concerning the commoditization of IT. However, the industry execs he mentioned in the article did understand his thesis and responded with valid points. Carr's problem is that he thinks that those who are arguing against him don't believe that commoditization is happening. He's wrong. Everyone knows that technology is being commoditized. That's the process of technology advancement and competition. It's how the world works. So, by giving examples of how the companies that criticize him are commoditizing products he doesn't help his own argument. The point that he's wrong on isn't that products become commoditized, but it's when he believes the world ends with commoditization. Once a product is commoditized he seems to believe that all power to profit is gone. As we explaine d last week, that's not true at all. The power of commoditization is that it becomes a cheap input, rather than a final output. It becomes the building block of more innovation. What the smart company realizes (and Mr. Carr seems to miss) is that commoditization drives innovation, rather than kills it. By completely misunderstanding the arguments that show his thesis is wrong, Mr. Carr does himself a huge disservice. It would be great to see him actually debate the points raised against him. Instead, he just trots out a straw-man argument (that companies are commoditizing IT products). Everyone agrees with him that this is happening, so arguing about it is pointless. What he's confused about is that companies (and individuals) know how to use commoditized technology to create new opportunities.

"Velasquez says she and other relatives met with the ambassador around March 1983. "It was like a bucket of cold water," she said. "Our hopes were high, because we knew the influence that the embassy had with the government. But he denied knowing anything, and said it was an internal affair of Honduras. We got out of there wanting to cry.""

What? 05/16/2004 02:11 AM
The argument surfaced last week: the gatekeepers in Big Media are mistaken--clueless, biased, disconnected--for filtering out the full horror of the Berg beheading. They haven't showed the photos or the video of the act itself. But the full horror is available on the Web, and hit meters suggest that people are ready to see it. But will they see it on television? It's possible.
