For Many, It's Still No Sale







For Many, It's Still No Sale

For Many, It's Still No Sale 11/02/2003 09:49 PM

Many industry observers say the new services will provide little lift for the beleaguered record business. In fact, they say, the pay services will only steer more people toward the freebies. By Daniel Rubin (The Philadelphia Inquirer via MyAppleMenu)

MCI For Sale


MCI For Sale 09/20/2004 01:24 PM
It looks like MCI's turnaround plan hasn't turned it around far enough. Reports are out this morning that the company is actively looking for a buyer. The company pretty much stopped doing very much at all for an extended period of time while they had to deal with all those pesky accounting scam problems. Now that they have their head above water, they're realizing that the tide has pushed them far, far away from where the rest of the telecom world is. While the article speculates that they may have trouble selling themselves, that might not be the case. The now-out-of-bankrupt company has a (hopefully) clean set of books, plenty of customers, and a network that many other companies already drool over. The one area that they probably should just jettison, though, is their consumer business -- or at least pull an AT&T move and focus only on VoIP. Of course, just like AT&T, MCI made the bizarre move to ditch their wireless play when having a foot in the wireless market was clearly in their long-term best interests.

Somehow I can tell that Matt had a deprived childhood. Or maybe one that was too rich. In either case, he doesn’t understand the Zen of garage sales, that much is obvious. The Zen, my friend, is not in getting an ‘antique’ from the 1950’s or a third-hand copy of the original Atari release of Pac-Man, but in the hunt and the entire day spent in the outdoors with people you want to spend time…

Mobinote DVX-POD On Sale (Just Not Here)


Mobinote DVX-POD On Sale (Just Not Here) 08/16/2004 02:28 PM

DVX_handheld100x100.jpg imageThe Mobinote DVX-Pod 7010 is one sale from at least one Taiwanese retailer, it seems. For $19,000 Taiwanese New Dollars (about $585), you can take one of the stark white hard disk video players with a 7-inch screen firmly into your hands. Both hands, I'm saying, and with a tight grip. Because it's big, you see. Quite large. Very big.

Hefty.

But the thing is, even though I am a Champion of Small - see today's earlier comments about the Gmini 400, for instance - the DVX-Pod 7010 does a lot of things right, like having a high-resolution screen (720 by 480 pixels) and built-in PVR functions. It won't fit in your pocket, unless you're some sort of man mountain, but it's not pretending otherwise, either, and that goes a long way.

Will it ever stop (in the US)? Yo, I don't know. (Thanks, Ben!)

Have you ever wished you had started and owned Lindows instead of Michael Robertson? After all, the upstart Linux distribution first gained huge notoriety by pulling on the whiskers of the Microsoft monopoly, then by losing a few rounds in court as Gates and company went global court-shopping, but finally banking hundreds of millions of dollars to settle the suit Microsoft had filed against it here in the U.S. Well, whip out your credit card, because you can pick up L-I-N-D-O-W-S right now on eBay for a starting bid of just a couple hundred dollars. The original Lindows signage, that is.

Comic Art #6 on sale


Comic Art #6 on sale 09/21/2004 08:56 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: comicartI picked up issue #6 of Comic Art magazine last week. What a treat. sethThere's a long article about Seth (creator of Palookaville) with plenty of pictures, including a cardboard city he built (seen on the cover) and a page from his sketchbook (which I scanned here -- incredible! Click on thumb for enlargement). Unfortunately, no pictures of Seth. I've only seen other people's drawings of Seth. (He's always wearing a vintage hat and suit and chain smoking when people draw him.)

6dThere's another article about Virgil Partch (aka "VIP"), a delightfully wacky cartoonist from the 40s and 50s. If you look closely at the hands on VIP's characters, you'll notice that they have more than five fingers. Sometimes they have as many as 12 fingers on a hand! He did this because he used to work at Disney, where he was forced to draw four-fingered characters. The extras fingers were his way of evening the score.

The price of Comic Art is $9, which is a good deal, because it's glossy color throughout. Link

KITT for sale


KITT for sale 07/22/2004 03:00 PM
82021KITT (Knight Industry Two Thousand), from the 1980s TV series Knight Rider, is up for auction on eBay. Apparently this was one of the tricked-out 1983 Trans Ams actually used in the show:
"After being released from its film duties, KITT found its way into the show circuit by promoting many Budweiser World of Wheels car shows for a number of years. After its tour of duty, the car was in need of restoration and in 2001 the owner approached Mark Scrivani of Mark's Custom Kits to restore the vehicle. The original, futuristic dash built by universal would only illuminate and was not intended to be functional; the owner commissioned Scrivani to make the dash fully functional, thus, the various non-functioning consoles were removed, cleaned up and made functional with pushable buttons, sound and visual effects. The dash received fully operational gauges and instruments, as well as an in-car camera tied into one of the two dash-mounted LCD monitors. The other monitor is wired into a trunk-mounted VCR for running and viewing tapes for future car show use. The original scanner mounted in the front of the vehicle was restored and functions properly. The scanner sound effect is also added to external speakers so it can be heard while the scanner is running. Besides the original Universal registration, the car comes with the original stamped steel "KNIGHT" license plate..."
