60,000 Take Home Numbers Wireless

60,000 Take Home Numbers Wireless 02/13/2004 05:52 AM
While most stories about wireless local number portability in the US focused on who was switching between which wireless carriers (and what problems they were having), the fact that you could also take your home number and port it over to your mobile phone received much less coverage. Now, it turns out that about 60,000 people took advantage of this rule and took their home landline wireless. Not a huge number, but still noteworthy (and some say the numbers would be much higher without all these glitches). Wireless carriers also claim (though, without evidence) that the number of wireline customers requesting to move a number is growing - so it may simply be that many people didn't realize they could do this. Of course, the people who are most likely to be interested in ditching a landline probably already have a mobile phone - so it's not clear they really need to port their landline number over. I'm also curious how many of those 60,000 were Manhattan residents who were drooling over a coveted (and previously unavailable) status-symbol 212 mobile phone number.

" 'Think of AllMiMedia as home networking on steroids,' said Dr. Luc Julia, BravoBrava's co-founder and vice president of research and development. 'With AllMiMedia, you have a personal network that is always with you, giving you access and control over your digital content, whether you're at home or on the other side of the country.'

AllMiMedia allows a person's digital content -- including photos, music, Microsoft® Media Center-stored content, live television channels and Internet TV and radio -- to be remotely accessed and controlled through a web-enabled cell phone or PDA. 'With AllMiMedia, a person could remotely program his TiVo® to record 'The West Wing' and play it back later, or even watch it live from his cell phone,' said Julia...." [via Daily Palm]

There's a TiVo Edition of the software and a Windows XP Media Center Edition, described below:

"This $12/year service allows existing Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2004 users to remotely program video recording with a wireless device such as their web-enabled cell phone or PDA. For an optional $20/year, it also allows users to view photos remotely and to listen to their music stored on their Windows® XP Media Center Edition PC as well as accessing information such as weather and stocks. Check if your cell phone is AllMiMedia compliant now!"

I am happy to report that the Treo 600 is compliant, but I don't have Windows XP Media Center. It's the "listen to their music stored" on their PC that piques my interest, but not enough to go with Media Center.

A recent commentary by Robin Miller regarding squabbling within the free software and open source communities was a useful wake-up call. This bickering is having a detrimental effect on our ability to confront those who are trying to convince policy and opinion makers against the use of free and open source software (FOSS). These challenges are neither severe nor insurmountable, but they do require the parties understand the differences between internal and external debate.

Microsoft MVPs revolt: I wish them luck, but there ain't a chance Microsoft is ever going to do anything that backs away or compromises .Net in any way.

Over 100 Microsoft MVPs (Most Valuable Professionals) have signed an online petition that demands Redmond resume development and support of "classic" Visual Basic, a-k-a VB6. [...]

It's "basically" impossible to migrate programs written in earlier versions of Visual Basic to the .NET version. [...]

Microsoft's product managers will likely say this is not the case, and will point to migration tools and strategies the company offers. But those product managers aren't the poor bastards faced with rewriting millions of lines of source code to reinvent crucial applications, nor do the Microsofties have to swallow hard while they lose dependable business logic refined over decades.

I could see Microsoft resuming support of VB6, but development of it? No.

At long last, just what I've been looking for: C'mon, kids, let's all sign up! In case you're wondering, this comes from my new Epson Stylus CX5200 printer/copier/scanner. My old one has been making clunking noise, like a car running over a tool chest, so I figured it was time to replace it. The CX5200 prints 22/ppm of black, does 15 copies/minute, and doesn't need to go through the computer to make a copy. It cost $99 after rebates at MicroCenter. Anyone need a black cartridge and a color cartridge for an Epsson Stylus 900, a model so old that...

Proliferation of Blog Crawlers.

The traffic to my blog has doubled in the past two months.  While some of that is due to new readers and subscribers, good part of that traffic is due to blog crawlers.  With the smell of money in the air, I am afraid we'll be seeing an explosion of blog crawlers in the near future.

How long before only a tiny fraction of the traffic is actually read by a person?  How long before the blogosphere is swamped by convenience-driven waste and greed-driven abuse?
