http://www.globalindicators.or g/

In December 1995, The Conference Board became the official source for the widely-publicized composite indexes of leading, lagging, and coincident indicators. For almost 30 years, these economic data series-often referred to as "the leading index" or "the leading indicators"-were compiled and published by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Conference Board has also assumed responsibility for compiling a larger set of economic indicators that was also previously provided by the federal government in both a conventional publication, the Survey of Current Business, and in electronic format (both diskettes and on the Internet). The Board publishes this under the title Business Cycle Indicators. This has been added to Business Resources 2005 Internet MiniGuide.

Sushi restaurants as economic indicators

Sushi restaurants as economic indicators 04/23/2004 10:43 AM
Tyler Cowen, economist and co-proprietor of the excellent Marginal Revolution, recently gave a talk to the International Association of Culinary Professionals and offered some food-related investment advice: If sushi restaurants are new to a country, and are succeeding, buy shares in the stocks of that country. Raw fish, of course, can be toxic. Quality can be hard to monitor with the naked eye. Sushi consumption is a sign that people...

VoIP Adoption Remains Elusive, but
Growth Indicators are Promising 12/19/2004 03:09 PM
Only 2% of broadband households currently subscribe to a VoIP service, according to Residential Voice-over-IP: Analysis and Forecasts (Second Edition), a forthcoming industry report from Parks Associates. This number is lower than expected considering that at the end of 2002 nearly one-third of broadband households expressed a high interest in subscribing to VoIP services [PRWEB Dec 17, 2004]

The backwards music business

The backwards music business 03/14/2005 06:11 PM

According to a story in today's Financial Times, music companies are upset because, get this, customers are flocking to buy legal digital downloads.

For several years, the record companies have complained about unauthorized peer-to-peer file sharing. Now, they are finally generating significant revenues from users paying to receive their songs over the Net. And the labels' response is to complain that prices must be set too low. There were other, higher-priced digital download services around before Apple made 99 cents the standard price on iTunes, and they failed to catch on. That seems to suggest the current prices are in the sweet spot of the market, stimulating demand and luring users away from P2P downloads. The record companies seem to think otherwise.

In most businesses, news that customers are buying your products in droves would be met with jubilation. But in an industry used to controlling distribution chains and prices through rigid oligopolistic practices, that scenario is met with fear. Of course, if prices for legal digital downloads go up, illegal digital downloads start to look more attractive again. The labels may be about to cut off their noses to spite their faces.

Hits of backwards masking

Hits of backwards masking 03/25/2005 11:22 AM
David Pescovitz: An article this week in the Salt Lake Tribune about backwards masking in rock music linked to Jeff Millner's classic "Stairway to Heaven: Backwards" site. Jeff has added a few more recent tunes to the satanic jukebox of sin, including Britney Spears' "Hit Me Baby One More Time":

Play forward: "With you I lose my mind give me a si..."
Reverse play: "Sleep with me, I'm not too young."

and the devious "Pokemon Rap":

Play forward: "Gotta catch 'em all, gotta catch 'em all (yo), Gotta catch 'em all, gotta catch 'em all (yeah)"
Reverse play: "I love satan, I love satan. I love satan, I love satan."

My all-time favorite though is Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust." As kids, MTV.com writer Gil Kaufman and I played the song backwards for my dad to prove that the rumors were true about a hidden suggestion to "smoke marijuana." My dad shrugged and said he thought is sounded more like "go to California." Link

QuickTransit Emulator Might Allow Xbox 2
Backwards Compatibility 09/13/2004 10:57 AM

Leander from Cult of Mac/Wired has a story about a new Silicon Valley startup - wow, been a while since I've typed that - that is claiming to have developed a sort of super-emulator that will allow code written for one platform to work seamless on a variety of other platforms. One of Transitive's (the people who make the QuickTransit software) example uses?

Wiederhold said QuickTransit will allow the next-generation Xbox (which will have a Mac-like PowerPC chip) to run first-generation Xbox software (which was written for an Intel chip).

Is XM Bending Over Backwards To Make
Satellite Radio Less Useful?

Is XM Bending Over Backwards To Make
Satellite Radio Less Useful? 08/30/2004 01:37 PM
Last week, we wrote about how XM Radio and the RIAA were getting increasingly concerned about someone who dared to make some software that would recor d XM radio feeds. According to people at Broadband Reports, XM has become so upset about this that they have pulled their PC receiver from the market while they look for a solution to this "problem." It's quite a world when it's considered a problem that someone has made your service more useful. The note at Broadband Reports also claims that XM is considering removing USB ports from future equipment for the same reason. Both of these seem unconfirmed at the moment, so it would be nice if there were some real confirmation on either rumor. However, the satellite radio business is in a tough position. For all the success they've been claiming in signing up customers, they're nowhere near profitability. Their capital costs are incredibly high, and the thing they need, more than anything else, is more subscribers. Shutting down tools that make their offering more compelling just means they're making their job that much more difficult. Hopefully, it's not true, and this is just a baseless rumor, perhaps caused by the product being out of stock.

Roxio Gets It Backwards - Giving Away
Music Players To Napster Users 06/16/2004 10:45 PM
Steve Jobs has admitted in the past that Apple isn't looking to make money off of iTunes. Instead, they view iTunes as a loss leader for selling more iPods - where they make their real margin. So, it's a bit surprising that Roxio appears to be going in the other direction. They're now giving away an MP3 player to anyone who signs up for one year of Napster. Of course, it's a cheap MP3 player with only 128 megs of storage, but the concept is still the same.

Sort of Spy Shots of the AT&T OGO

Sort of Spy Shots of the AT&T OGO 09/27/2004 05:34 AM

A reader of ours got to play around with AT&T's new OGO instant messaging tool over the weekend and sent us these snaps of the box and the device itself. It definitely has Bluetooth and a USB port, but I think the most interesting bit is that you have to pay extra money if you want to use all three IM services (AOL, MSN, and Yahoo!). That is, of course, unless they mean that you can have three OGOs on one account for just $6 more a month - that seems a little too generous to me.

I'll post the rest of the pictures after the jump.

I just got back home from SFO after watching my wife and son enter the passenger gate.  They are going to Korea to visit family and friends for a month.  This means I'll be on a vacation from family life for the next month.  Heeehaaaw!  So far I got a private poker tourney scheduled for Saturday.  I should do well enough to beat most of the players, but I doubt I'll be taking the big pot home because trying to win the tourney takes too much fun out of the game.
