Housing price bubble and inflation risk

Housing price bubble and inflation risk 12/17/2004 06:35 PM

Morgan Stanley economist, Stephen Roach, has an interesting article on America's housing price bubble dated December 1, 2004.  Right underneath this piece is something about how investors believe that the risk of high inflation is growing.  I've been poking at buying a larger/more open place to live here in Cambridge and Roach's theory seems about right.  Central Square is a place with pretty high crime rates (the city owns much of the housing in the area and fills it up with people they deem to be jobless and hopeless).  The public schools are so bad in the city that almost every family with children who cares about education moves to Brookline, Newton, Lincoln, etc.  I looked at a place for sale at 33 Bigelow St. the other week.  It is just half of a house.  All of the floors and stairs are sloped and creaking due to settling over the years.  I went over with an architect friend and he took me down to the basement:  "See this framework of steel bars and 2x4s that has been slapped together underneath the beams?  That's what is keeping the whole place from collapsing.  I would be very worried about you buying this house."  Asking price?  $1.25 million.

Of course, if there is enough inflation it will turn out to be a good deal because $1.25 million will be a normal annual salary...

Internet TV - but only if you risk it

Internet TV - but only if you risk it 09/08/2004 06:44 AM
A major Finnish TV channel: MTV3 has launched a new "Nett i-TV" service, which "allows you to watch the programs whenever you want".

Nope. Apparently, I'm not a part of the "you". (And neither are others)

You see, they require Windows Media Player 9+, Internet Explorer, and Windows. I can understand the requirement for WMP (you gotta choose a codec), but IE? The buggiest and shittiest of all the current browsers? The official answer is "everybody uses Windows and IE, therefore we only support Windows and IE". Hell, I have IE and WMP 9 installed on my Mac. I have WMV codecs on my Linux box. Why am I excluded?

This is just so completely stupid. In this day and age, there is NO reason whatsoever to make a web site that is IE only. There are three possible explanations to this, none of them actually too flattering to MTV3:

1. There is a secret deal between MS and MTV3 that alternative operating systems may not be supported (unlikely, but fun theory)
2. A bunch of sorry, no-good, lazy, crappy coders working for a shady garage firm somewhere have managed to convince a completely clueless management that this is the only way. Any coder worth his paycheck should be able to produce standards-compliant web pages and streamed video. (likely)
3. A designer created something that the coders found impossible to implement in a given schedule, except via resorting to hacks. They were too spineless to suggest another alternative, or were overruled by a clueless management. (happens all the time)

Come on - it's just a simple web site that contains program listings and then you click on them to get streamed video. IT'S NOT REALLY THAT HARD TO DO RIGHT!

OK, so the majority uses still Windows and IE. Fine. But does it not mean a shit to anyone that the most prominent and technically savvy people who actually do know what they're doing are switching en masse? And it's not only a geek thing: twenty per cent (20%) of the people reading this weblog are already using Firefox. And there are people switching who actually do matter. Even some people within Microsoft don't use IE. The geeks are not using IE because they know better. Others are using it because Firefox is just so nice. Nobody wants their machines to be infested with spyware and other crap.

And frankly, no web site I've ever seen that required the use of IE and Windows was really any good. Cluelessness shows.

*sigh*
