More Techie IPOs

More Techie IPOs 04/20/2004 02:00 PM
Last month we noted that an awful lot of tech companies were getting ready to go public, and since it signaled the (at least momentary) opening of the IPO window, it seemed likely that lots of other tech companies that have been hanging around waiting would try to take advantage of it. So, it's no surprise to hear more and more tech IPO stories. Just as online diamond store Blue Nile goes public, everyone's favorite lawsuit magnet, Michael Robertson is getting set to file the IPO paperwork for Lindows - which is apparently still the company's name, despite their recent product name switch to Linspire.

Techie Xmas list

Techie Xmas list 12/02/2003 01:40 AM
Dan Gillmor's put together a list of geeky Xmas prezzies that I quite like:

Inexpensive:

# Free software. OK, almost nothing is truly free. But free open-source software comes pretty close. I'm running the Mozilla Firebird Web browser on my everyday personal computer, for example. It's fast, capable and reliable. Isn't that enough these days?

On the Web, meanwhile, are vast numbers of excellent utilities such as the Google Toolbar, which works only with Windows and recent versions of Internet Explorer.

# USB plug-ins. Once entrepreneurs glommed onto the fact that USB ports on computers offer elecrical power in addition to data connectivity, they came up with a raft of cool stuff.

I use the Zip-LINQ retractable cables from Keyspan to charge my phone and make connections with several other devices. They cost $15 to $25 or so, but mean fewer power bricks to lug around. A colleague at Hong Kong University, where I'm teaching part time this month, also just brought to work a USB cable that connects to a sleeve you slide around your coffee cup. I haven't been able to discover if anyone in the U.S. is selling NewMotion's $6 "Cup Warmer" (but I'm planning to bring several home).

The Latest Techie Complaints

The Latest Techie Complaints 04/15/2004 01:02 PM
So what does a techie have to complain about these days? It what must have been a fairly cathartic column, one tech columnist just tossed a few of his tech complaints into a single column that doesn't even bother trying to tie them all together. The three big complaints: (1) every time he finds a product he likes, it gets bought by another larger company (and, he implies, the larger company then kills what he liked about the product) (2) it's increasingly difficult to actually find stuff you want on a search engine and (3) plug and play often plugs, but doesn't play. The best part, though, is his description of the inevitable phone call after the new device doesn't work: "Is your computer turned on? Are you connected using a USB or firewire cable? Do you have more than a fifth-grade education?" Something about tax day seems to bring out people's complaining nature.

Roy Disney resigns from Disney, slams
Eisner 12/02/2003 01:43 AM
Roy Disney has resigned from the Disney Board of Directors, and has sent a scathing email to Michael Eisner explaining, in exorciating detail, exactly why he's leaving the company his uncle founded.

1. The failure to bring back ABC Prime Time from the ratings abyss it has been in for years and your inability to program successfully the ABC Family Channel. Both of these failures have had, and I believe will continue to have, significant adverse impact on shareholder value.

2. Your consistent micro-management of everyone around you with the resulting loss of morale throughout the Company.

3. The timidity of your investments in our theme park business. At Disney's California Adventure, Paris and now in Hong Kong, you have tried to build parks "on the cheap" and they show it and the attendance figures reflect it.

NIHSeniorHealth.gov makes aging-related health information easily accessible for adults 60 and older. It is also a useful tool for family members and friends who are seeking online health information for their older relatives. This site was developed by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the National Library of Medicine (NLM), both part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The web site is organized by health topic and currently includes information on Alzheimer's Disease, Caring for Someone with Alzheimer's, and Exercise for Older Adults. Within each topic there are sections containing general background information, open-captioned videos, short quizzes, and frequently asked questions (FAQs). Other health topics of interest to older adults will be added in the future.

I have added this to the Virtual Private Library's Subject Tracer™ Information Blog Healthcare Resources.

Senior Execs Dig Broadband

Senior Execs Dig Broadband 05/26/2004 02:41 AM
Well, it looks like we may finally be getting past the era when senior execs still needed their emails printed out by an assistant, so they can read them on paper. 99% of senior executives surveyed now use the internet at work, and 97% use it at home. In fact, 7 7% have broadband access at home, and many use PDAs and wireless technologies (both handheld devices and wireless networking) in their homes. When they're online, it seems like they do just about what you'd expect them to do: a fair amount of time is spent doing email. When they surf the web, they're most likely to be reading business news (which, one hopes, includes a daily visit to Techdirt). They also have no problems buying things online, with approximately 80% buying airline tickets and books or reserving hotel rooms online. It seems clear that the era of the completely clueless senior exec when it comes to the internet is quickly fading away.
