Will Microsoft's Xbox Hit the Spot? 03/20/2003 01:05 PM
Don't look now, but here comes Microsoft with its boldest attempt yet to blast into your living room -- with your teen as its biggest advocate. The software giant is pulling out all the stops to dominate a new market: online gaming via its Xbox video-game console. Xbox is a microcosm of Microsoft's dot-Net strategy.

The Future of Microsoft's Xbox

The Future of Microsoft's Xbox 06/08/2004 10:40 AM
To the gaming community, the Microsoft Xbox console has a lot to offer and promises even more in the future. But the company has not been able to get worldwide sales, especially Japanese sales, to the levels it hoped for. Depending on whose report you read, the Sony PlayStation is outselling the Xbox at a 4 to 1 pace, and that's an optimistic ratio. The Xbox has become the number-two platform in the USA, ahead of the Nintendo GameCube, but it still has not been popular enough to become a profit center for Microsoft. All this has recently been compounded by Microsoft's decision to cancel or delay the release of its online game True Fantasy Live Online.

Battling for bio art

Battling for bio art 07/09/2004 01:47 PM
The drama continues in the case of University at Buffalo professor Steve Kurtz, a member of the Critical Art Ensemble. Kurtz has been under investigation since May when police--who Kurtz called to his home after he awoke to find his wife dead of a heart attack--discovered biological materials used in the respected artist's work. (More background here.) Yesterday, Kurtz was charged with four counts of mail and wire fraud with a maximum prison sentence of 20 years each. Professor Robert Ferrell, chair of the Department of Human Genetics at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Public Health, was also indicted for helping Kurtz obtain a bit of harmless bacteria.

"I am absolutely astonished," said Donald A. Henderson, Dean Emeritus of the Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health and resident scholar at the Center for Biosecurity of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Henderson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bush for his work in heading up the World Health Organization smallpox eradication program and was appointed by the Bush administration to chair the National Advisory Council on Public Preparedness.

"Based on what I have read and understand, Professor Kurtz has been working with totally innocuous organisms... to discuss something of the risks and threats of biological weapons--more power to him, as those of us in this field are likewise concerned about their potential use and the threat of bio-terrorism." Henderson noted that the organisms involved in this case--Serratia marcescens and Bacillus atrophaeus--do not appear on lists of substances that could be used in biological terrorism.

Battling the antibodies

Battling the antibodies 12/31/2004 12:33 PM
I checked out a stack of library books for my vacation week, but the only one that really grabbed me was David Bornstein's How to Change the World: Social Entrepeneurs and the Power of New Ideas. (You can also catch his Pop!Tech lecture on ITConversat ions.) The book revolves around the inspirational Bill Drayton. Drayton is an architect of change, and this passage from the book writes his job description:

In his book, Leading Change: The Argument for Values-Based Leadership, James O'Toole, an expert in management and leadership, observes that great thinkers throughout the world agree that "groups resist change with all the vigor of antibodies attacking an intruding virus." O'Toole examines a number of cases in which a potentially beneficial institutional change was resisted and finds that the resistance occurs when a group perceives that a change in question will challenge its "power, prestige, and satisfaction with who they are, what they believe, and what they cherish." He asserts: "The major factor in our resistance to change is the desire not to have the will of others forced on us."

If ideas are to take root and spread, therefore, they need champions -- obsessive people who have the skill, motivation, energy, and bullheadedness to do whatever is necessary to move them forward: to persuade, inspire, seduce, cajole, enlighten, touch hearts, alleviate fears, shift perceptions, articulate meanings, and artfully maneuver them through systems.
