09/16/2004 01:41 AMA German manufacturer of technology commonly used in personal
computers has agreed to plead guilty and pay a $160 million fine for
engaging in an international price-fixing conspiracy that drove up
computer prices, the Justice Department announced Wednesday. Infineon
Technologies AG "conspired with unnamed manufacturers" to
boost prices of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) sold to computer
makers, the Justice Department said.
Government antitrust lawyers identified the firms directly affected by
the conspiracy as Dell, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, Apple, IBM, and
Gateway.
"This is very good news for consumers and for businesses,"
said R. Hewitt Pate, assistant attorney general for the Antitrust
Division.
Officials said some computer makers were forced to increase product
prices because of the conspiracy, while others decreased the amount of
memory used in some products. Infineon and other DRAM manufacturers,
including Samsung, Hynix and Micron Technologies, also face civil
lawsuits in San Francisco.
The Justice Department refused to name firms that allegedly conspired
with Infineon in the criminal case announced Wednesday. The $160
million fine is the third largest price-fixing penalty in U.S.
history.

In The Broadband Battle Between Speed
And Price, Customers Choose Price
In The Broadband Battle Between Speed
And Price, Customers Choose Price
12/09/2003 03:39 PMBack in October we noted that DSL and cable providers were trying to
differe
ntiate themselves from each other. The DSL providers were
focusing on being the low cost provider, while the cable guys wanted
to be the high speed providers. At the time, we pointed out that this
was likely to backfire on the cable companies. People like the speed
of broadband, but for most applications there's a "good enough" speed
- and many people want it more for the always on connection than the
speed itself. It's looking like we were right. The latest study
shows that, despite cable's commanding lead in the US,
many
more people are signing up for DSL these days because of the lower
price. It's the basic "good enough" argument. What DSL offers is
good enough for what most people want to do with their connections
now. Also, the speed difference is minimal right now. You don't get
that much faster speeds with cable, and there's not much you can
currently do with that extra bandwidth. It used to be that people
would sign up so they could download songs, but the music industry is
cracking down on that enough that it's become less of a draw for many
subscribers as well.

12/19/2004 03:48 PMI had a wonderful time at my signing in Huntington Beach last
night. There were about forty people seated when I started, and by the
time I was finished, another fifteen or so had joined us.
Over the years, I've developed a pretty good sense of how the
audience is relating to me, and I felt like I connected with this
audience immediately, and maintained the connection all the way
through. It was awesome. The last few readings I've done have been a
hardcore geek conferences, you see, and there's been a very palpable
"Okay, prove to us that you deserve to be here, jerk." feeling from at
least part of the audience, but last night, I didn't feel any
challenge or hostility from the people there, so I was able to relax
and just do my thing.
Usually, I just thank people for coming, and get right into
reading, but last night I tried something now: I gave a little bit of
a "talk" about the internets, and the power of blogs. I talked about
how blogs are a powerful communication tool, and how blogs can be used
for very positive things, like helping our friend Kris when she had
cancer. I also talked about this awesome auction I'm a part of to
raise money and awareness for the Alzheimer's Association of Los
Angeles (that is going to be so cool, it gets its own entry in the
near future.)
I've been thinking a lot about how my life has changed, and I know
that none of this would be happening without the examination of my
life that happened because of my blog and my books. I talked a little
bit about that examination, and how I discovered this thing called
"the quarter life crisis," where we hit our mid-to-late twenties and
freak out because we don't know what we're doing (or going to do with)
our lives as we near thirty. At that time in my life, I recalled, I
was struggling not only to be a successful actor, husband, and
stepfather, but also to figure out who I was. My mom always told me
"just be yourself, and you'll be happy." That's great advice, but it's
tough to heed when you don't know who "yourself" is.
Anyway, I talked about all those things as a lead-in to the writing
of Just A Geek, and to set up where I was in my life when I
experienced the events I wrote about in Chapter
Nine of Just A Geek (pdf file), which is what I read last
night.
The actual "reading" portion of the . . . uhm . . . reading . . .
was great. I felt comfortable with the material, and it is always
entertaining (to me, anyway) to edit out the naughty words on the fly
when I read. It was extra fun last night because people were following
along in their own books, and they'd giggle when I replace "shit" with
"crap," or something similar.
When my reading was done, I took a few questions, which gave me
another opportunity to talk about how empowering the internet is, and
how I used the internet to reassert control over my creative life.
Then, I sat down and signed books for everyone there. The people who
came out were all friendly and enthusiastic, and the whole experience
was just wonderful. I was done about 8:45, and through the power of
quantum physics, I made it up to ACME by 9:30 without ever exceeding
the posted speed limit.
Shut up. I did.
