Kevin Sites Iraq bl0g: "Paying Back in
Blood" 05/10/2004 03:02 PM
Blogger and MSNBC combat correspondent Kevin Sites is in Iraq, and has posted a new entry to his blog today.

When he was nine years old Carlos Gomez crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico to the U.S. with his father, mother and two sisters. They had heard stories about the opportunities in America, dreamed about them, wanted them so badly they ran through oncoming traffic on the 805 freeway to get to them. They didn't stop until they reached San Diego. Fear, fatigue and La Migra slowly fading into the southern horizon like their homeland.

They stayed. Dealt with the slurs--beaners, greasers, wetbacks. Overcame them. Paid back America's opportunities with hard, menial labor. Made a fraction of what citizens and legal immigrants made--but never complained.

And 12 years later, in Falluja, Iraq, Marine Lance Corporal Gomez would pay it back again--but this time with his blood.

The Health and Environmental Costs of

The Health and Environmental Costs of
War on Iraq 11/12/2003 01:30 PM
"Bring 'Em On:" A Certain Four Horsemen Rein Up to Inquire of The Taunt -- or "The Health and Environmental Costs of War on Iraq (PDF)." An independent survey just released by the UK global health charity Medact, finds that "the war on Iraq and its aftermath exacted a heavy toll on combatants and civilians, who paid and continue to pay the price in death, injury and mental and physical ill health. Between 21,700 and 55,000 people died between March 20 and October 20, 2003." Accord ing to the BBC, the report says that the "conflict and its aftermath have put the most vulnerable in society - women, children and the elderly - at risk", and "there has been a reported increase in maternal mortality rates, acute malnutrition has almost doubled from 4% to 8% in the last year and there is an increase in water-borne diseases and vaccine-preventable diseases."

Auto-mounting media devices

Auto-mounting media devices 04/30/2004 12:37 AM

What follows is an interesting insight into the minds of the eHome, Media PC press. 

As Andrew Grundner (the writer of this story) gushes on about how cool this closed system is, he discovers the convienience of auto-mounting devices, and you have to wonder: "where has this guy been?"

But not everybody made the immediate jump, as Arthur Van Hoff and Rob Currie did (with their Strangeberry platform), that ZeroConf (which Apple calls Rendezvous) is the perfect technology for auto-mounting home media devices.  The only difference is that they based their work on an open platform, while this MediaBolic product is closed and proprietary.

The idea of ZeroConf/Rendezvous is that products from a wide range of vendors could all work on the same 'auto-mounting' consumer media network.

Now why oh why would MediaBolic think we'd lock ourselves into THEIR proprietary network, when we're all joining up on the open network?  'Cause they got some sort of patent?

And more importantly - "why wasn't Andrew Grundner asking these questions of them?"

Now that TiVO owns Strangeberry watch for some next generation products that will make Comcast's Moxi product look like a joke.

Integrating the family's media collection and aggregating a myriad of home media services; such as digital downloading, photo prointing or food delivery - is gonna be big business. 

And watch for major plays from Broadband Mechanics in this area.

Meanwhile here's the article that just set me off!

Mediabolic Delivering on the Digital Home Concept.

Mediabolic Delivering on the Digital Home Concept  Category: Editorials - April 29, 2004  By Alexander Grundner Today I have seen the future and it's not coming from Microsoft -- at least not yet. I got a chance to meet with Jeremy Toeman, associate VP of Mediabolic, for the first time, for an informal get-together. For those unfamiliar with the company, Mediabolic is one of the leaders in the middleware software space for connected home devices. Their flagship software product, the M1 Entertainment Platform, can be found powering many notable products like the Denon NS-S100 Digital Media Server, which won TechTV's "Best of Show" at CES in January, and Creative's SoundBlaster Wireless Music Adapter. Over lunch we discussed the state of the industry, and convergent devices currently coming to market and on the horizon. Overall, we were pretty much in agreement with the general direction device manufactures were taking consumers in. But things got really interesting when he asked me if I wanted to see of demo of M1 platform at work. Back at the office, Mediabolic has terrific demo room setup, configured with networked computers and a myriad of M1 enabled connected media devices. I assumed he was going to show me what each product did individually and then move on to the next product, but I was just half right. He went beyond that by pointing out how each device is actually recognized by all the computers running the M1 server software. What's more, all networked M1 enabled PCs can populate all the connected media devices with content stored on each PC's hard drive without any special configuration (an industry first -- this floored me). In other words, if you are using a media adapter in one room, you will see all the digital files available from a networked M1 enabled PC, and if a second or third M1 enabled PC is turned on, then all their additional files will become immediately available. This function, that I was never aware of, puts a new face on connected entertainment. The idea has always been to setup a shared digital media server to distribute content around the house -- just configure each networked device to pull content from one central location. Made sense, but Mediabolic's no configuration, auto-recognize and populate solution is way more advanced, and provides a better user experience. All in all, I enjoyed my meeting, but came away impressed with the fact that Mediabolic is company that actually delivers on the promise of interoperable connected devices for the Digital Home. And best of all, anyone can use M1 enabled products with existing networking and PC hardware equipment.

In The Broadband Battle Between Speed
And Price, Customers Choose Price

In The Broadband Battle Between Speed
And Price, Customers Choose Price 12/09/2003 03:39 PM
Back in October we noted that DSL and cable providers were trying to differe ntiate themselves from each other. The DSL providers were focusing on being the low cost provider, while the cable guys wanted to be the high speed providers. At the time, we pointed out that this was likely to backfire on the cable companies. People like the speed of broadband, but for most applications there's a "good enough" speed - and many people want it more for the always on connection than the speed itself. It's looking like we were right. The latest study shows that, despite cable's commanding lead in the US, many more people are signing up for DSL these days because of the lower price. It's the basic "good enough" argument. What DSL offers is good enough for what most people want to do with their connections now. Also, the speed difference is minimal right now. You don't get that much faster speeds with cable, and there's not much you can currently do with that extra bandwidth. It used to be that people would sign up so they could download songs, but the music industry is cracking down on that enough that it's become less of a draw for many subscribers as well.
