07/01/2004 08:50 AMSony Corp. has unveiled its first hard-disk drive-based digital music
player to bear the Walkman name. The device was launched on Thursday
as the Walkman brand marked its 25th anniversary. The NW-HD1 features
a 20GB hard-disk drive and is, according to the company, the smallest
music player at this capacity. It measures 89 millimeters by 62.1
millimeters by 13.8 millimeters and weighs 110 grams. The capacity is
half that of Apple Computer Inc.'s highest capacity iPod, but Sony
says its player trumps Apple's in terms of the number of songs it can
store: 13,000 on the Walkman versus 10,000 on the iPod.

Sony VAIO Pocket Review, iPod Comparison
06/09/2004 09:10 AM
If you want to stumble through the Babelfish
translation, AV Watch Japan has a review of the Sony VAIO Pocket, the
hard disk-based music player that's getting the most buzz as Sony's
attempt to create an iPod-killer. Among other things, they compare
sizes (!), and really that battery nodule on the back of the VAIO
Pocket does it a disservice in pictures -- it's not nearly as big as
it seems. Of course, the chink in the VAIO Pocket's armor is its
inability to play any format but Sony's proprietary ATRAC3, meaning
every song you want to copy to the VAIO Pocket has to be converted.
20GB of conversion is going to be sucky, but manageable; it's really
just the principle of the thing (even Apple, head up their AAC, lets
the iPod play MP3).

In 1991, I wrote a training manual for Stewart Alsop's Demo conference (it's now
Chris Shipley's show) that coached software developers on how to demo
software. The piece is a little dated, using the software buzzwords of
the time, but the basic ideas never go out of date. Focus on
comprehension, find the memorable feature, know that your prospect
isn't as interested in your software as you are, practice your demo a
lot, never use new software in your demos, and watch out for
competitors who try to derail your pitch.
In the last few days we wasted way too much time because of a
curveball thrown by a couple of really nasty competitors. It's true,
we're competing over something that doesn't make money, a format, but
as they say in academia, the less there is at stake, the more vicious
the competiton, or something like that. I've been Mr Naive about this.
Not no more.
I'm going to work with users, they seem to appreciate what I
do. The techies and developers, until further notice, are bums. I
almost want to say I hate what the technology industry has become, but
when has it been anything but back-stabbing, low-road bullshit. We
could be so damned powerful if we just worked together, but that
clearly isn't what's going on.

AT&T Wants To Scare Off VoIP Competitors
AT&T Wants To Scare Off VoIP Competitors
08/20/2004 07:42 PMAT&T, who just
dumped
their residential landline business in favor of VoIP is now trying
to suggest that
VoIP telephony is
going to be a tiny business -- worth only about $2 billion to the
$25 billion-a-year company. There are plenty of ways to respond to
this. First, just because they're a $25 billion-a-year company now,
that doesn't mean they always will be. Second, everyone
knows
that VoIP brings in less direct revenue. Part of the reason customers
are signing up for VoIP is that it's cheap. So, saying that it's such
a "small" market isn't really stating anything new. In fact, it seems
pretty clear that this statement is being said just to scare off
competitors who are thinking about entering the market. He's hoping
they hear that it's a small market and forget about it. Of course, if
it were really such a small market, why would AT&T bother? Because
they realize that the direct market for VoIP telephony is just the
beginning. VoIP opens up many new opportunities to provide services
and applications to users that will offer many more ways to profit
from the traditional telephony system. In fact, as VoIP establishes
itself as a
platform, expect to see more providers drop the
entranc
e fee towards zero, as it helps them build up other areas of their
business (and cause trouble for those who are only relying on voice
telephony).

its latest and greatest supercomputer. The 91-teraflop monster, dubbed
"Watson Blue Gene," is capable of cranking out a mind-blowing 91
trillion calculations per second. This ultra-powerful -- yet

likely to give IBM a significant competitive advantage over
