If you're in the business of selling NetWare, recommending NetWare or maintaining NetWare as a third party (i.e., "outsourced" support) then a program Novell has just instituted in the U.K. might be of interest. Of course, it's of great interest to those in the U.K. but it's also of interest to the rest of you either because Novell may already (or soon will) have something similar, or because you could use it as ammunition to encourage an equivalent program in your country.

Plausible Deniability in Software
Purchasing 01/26/2004 03:02 PM

I just bought some really cheap software: it's $199 retail, and I got it through an Amazon reseller for $17.90 plus tax.

The seller had a great feedback rating. I was still a little wary, so I emailed him before buying and asked what the catch was. No catch, he assured me, it just didn't come with a box. For that kind of savings, I figured I had nothing to lose, so I bought it.

Now I wonder: what is my responsbility in this transaction? How much due diligence do I have to do to make sure that this software isn't pirated? The seller tells me:

There is no catch. You will receive brand New Original authentic software CD with Manual on CD itself & free live Updates for full 1 Year. So practically you will get everything except box at the fraction of the cost.

Looking at this again, I can't help but think maybe this software has been installed somewhere else, and this guy's just selling off the retail CD. But, is it my responsibility to make sure of this? As a generally tech-savvy guy, should I look at the financials (less than 10% of the retail price) and know that this isn't legit?

I don't want to contribute to software piracy, and I don't want to cheat a company out of their money. But if the seller assures me that everything is on-the-level, and the only warning alarm is a really, really low price, am I in the clear legally? How about ethically?

Can You Patent Purchasing Underwater
Options?

Can You Patent Purchasing Underwater
Options? 01/05/2004 04:56 AM
The latest in bizarre patent applications is a business model patent being applied for by JP Morgan for the concept of buying underwater stock options. How is this patentable? That's unclear, but the folks at JP Morgan think they've hit onto something. They think that many companies trying to help employees get rid of underwater options may sell them to Morgan - following Microsoft's lead (where Microsoft let employees switch over from stock options to restricted stock). Of course, now that the economy is starting to pick up again, companies (and their employees) may be more interested in holding on to their options. Either way, it doesn't explain how making a risky investment is patentable. It's certainly not an original idea. I remember discussing just such a business model with some people in 1998 - when we knew a few people who had left jobs where their options were underwater, and who had no interest in buying them. Of course, we realized that the risk of buying underwater options on a regular basis meant that it could be quite difficult to ever actually make any money - but the folks at JP Morgan are betting the market is turning around and are hoping to buy up now before anyone realizes it.

Downloading Music Encouraging CD
Purchasing 01/02/2004 03:42 PM
A NY Times reporter has written up his experience in trying to get one of his sons to stop using Kazaa and start using iTunes or Rhapsody. He admits that it's really pricey for limited selections, but feels more comfortable about it. He's also surprised that in letting his son download music, he now wants to buy more CDs. Despite the music industry claiming that no one would ever want to buy CDs if they could download music (especially teenagers!), the reporter's son wants the CDs because they come with liner notes and lyrics that make it worthwhile. Again, this is an example of the industry missing an opportunity. People (including myself) like to own the actual CDs if it provides us with additional value. At the same time, downloading music can help people figure out what CDs they want to buy.

Dennis points out that you can now use Amazon's patented one-click method to buy your Presidential choice... Well, actually, just to donate money to the Presidential candidate of your choice (assuming that candidate has given Amazon permission). Each candidate has his or her own "product page" - which includes information about them and their platform. Perhaps not as advanced as PayDemocracy.com, but likely to get a lot more publicity. Now, imagine if you could use Amazon's affiliate program links for your favorite candidate?

Ford Dumps Online Purchasing Software
After 4-Years, Millions Of Dollars
Wasted 08/17/2004 03:23 PM
Remember all those expensiv e new government computer systems that simply don't work (or made people cry by making the "save" process take 15 steps)? It's certainly not limited to the government sector. Ford is now admitting that they're dumping an internet purchasing system they bought from Oracle four years ago, after being unable to make it work with existing systems. Luckily, they kept the legacy system running, so they're just switching back to that. What's scary is that these stories don't seem that far off the norm. Almost everyone seems to have stories of multi-million dollar enterprise software systems that don't work.
