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.

I met some folks yesterday whom I haven't seen for a long time:
Peter Yared, whom
I worked with at NetDynamics, and Mike Boich, whom I worked for at
Radius. Peter
Yared was CTO of Sun's Liberty division and Mike, founded and
headed Radius, Rendition,
and Eazel. He is now a VC at Alta Partners where Robert
Simon, a long time
friend, also works.
I forgot to take Peter's picture but here is Mike and Robert.

Robert Kennedy, Jr.
11/25/2003 08:39 PM
I remember where I was when THEY killed his uncle.I was a freshman
at the University, playing chss in the student union, and I distanced
myself from the horror by declaring "That's politics." I dropped
out of school and went to San Francisco a few months later.
I read Ayn Rand, drank chianti, ate bread and cheese, hung out in
North Beach, and later in the year I hung around the edges of the
Republican convention, celebrity spotting. I was appalled by
Goldwater's nomination.Even then, before the CO and CO2 had risen to
levels that threaten human survival, I was pretty well convinced that
nuking the DMZ would be a bad thing for the enbvironment and every
living thing on the planet. I wasn't yet 21 so I wasn't faced
with the choice of voting for Johnson (who many of us suspected
had a hand in the dirty deed on 11/22/63) and voting for Goldwater
(who many of us believed was crazy as a loon).
I don't remember where I was on April 4, 1968 when THEY
killed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.I was in school, I know.
Two months later when THEY killed Robert Kennedy the whole thing was
at such a bizarre level that reality was suspect. And I watched
and I protested and I made loud ineffective noises. There were
optimists among us who went "clean for Gene" McCarthy. It was a lost
cause.
From the day after King's death through the end of 1969,
the Black Panther
Party was decimated by the FBI. There was no effective news
coverage of the events. It wasn't until the National Guard
killed white students at Kent State in the spring of 1970 that our
national consciousness began to shift. And even then, people
were reluctant to call Richard Nixon a liar.
We were saturated in the truth and nobody would print
it. Today, conditions are a lot worse. Robert Kennedy, Jr.
is doing what he can on the environmental front. Here's some of
what he has to day in the Salon.com interview:
Why isn't the media being more of a watchdog...
The consolidation of American media over the past decade or so
has dramatically diminished the inquisitiveness of our national press.
There are now only 11 companies that control virtually every radio
outlet, every TV outlet and every newspaper in our country. And
because of that media consolidation, the news bureaus are no longer
run by newspeople. They are now corporate profit centers. Most of
these companies have liquidated their foreign bureaus, because they're
expensive to run. That's why you can't get foreign news in this
country; you have to go to the BBC. And they've liquidated their
investigative journalism units, because that kind of reporting is also
expensive. So news has become the lowest common denominator, which is
why you see sensational crime coverage, you see Laci Peterson and Kobe
Bryant all the time, you see celebrity gossip, which is really just a
form of pornography. And you see murders, which is really just another
form of pornography. You just see notorious crimes, and you don't
really see much substantive news anymore.
The Tyndall
Report, which is the service that analyzes what's on TV,
recently surveyed the environmental content on TV news and of the
15,000 minutes of network news that aired last year only 4 percent of
them were devoted to the environment. And this is at a time when we
have a president who is dismantling 30 years of environmental law, and
when we are going through a global environmental crisis, including
mass extinctions comparable to the disappearance of the dinosaurs.
Global fisheries have dropped to 10 percent of their 1950s levels, the
ice caps and glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, and one out
of every four black children in New York has asthma.
Today, while hundreds of thousands of britons protested the
presence of George W. Bush, American media
focused all its bandwidth on Michael Jackson.

Robert X. Cringely on Palladium
Robert X. Cringely on Palladium
07/02/2002 01:44 AMThis week, Microsoft announced Palladium through an exclusive story
in Newsweek written by Steven Levy, who ought to have known better.
Palladium is the code name for a Microsoft project to make all
Internet communication safer by essentially pasting a digital
certificate on every application, message, byte, and machine on the
Net, then encrypting the data EVEN INSIDE YOUR COMPUTER PROCESSOR.
Palladium compatible hardware (presumably chipsets and motherboards)
will come from both AMD and Intel, and the software will, of course,
come from Microsoft. That software is what I had dubbed TCP/MS.
The point of all this is simple. It may actually make the Internet
somewhat safer. But the real purpose of this stuff, I fear, is to take
technology owned by nobody (TCP/IP) and replace it with technology
owned by Redmond. That's taking the Internet and turning it into MSN.
Oh, and we'll all have to buy new computers.

03/31/2005 12:10 PM
The Guardian has created an
entire section on
their web site dedicated to Robert Crumb, everyone's most loved/hated
cartoonist and the star of Terry Zwigoff's amazing 1994 documentary
"
Crumb." Its well worth
a look.
Interviewer: What are the purposes of satire? Crumb: To give us all
relief from these taboos and these nervous tensions where things can't
be talked about. So humor and satire are a safety valve for releasing
these nervous tensions. But there's such a thing as cruel humor. A lot
of old time humor is based on making fun of some ethnic group - it's
not so funny for us any more.
And in case you're in the dark on who R. Crumb is, try
this.

Robert Byrd on the Arrogance of Power
03/20/2003 08:32 AMI'm not quite sure how it came about that the finest, clearest
politician speaking on war today is the dean of the Senate, West
Virginian Senator Robert Byrd. Having spent hours listening to him
during the Senate debates last fall, I can vouch for his ability to
speak beautifully, and I would wager that he writes his speeches
himself, or speaks contemporaneously. Once again today, he gave a
speech on the Senate floor with the clearest explanation I've read yet
of what is wrong with Bush's war. A few quotes:But, today I weep for
my country. I have watched the events of recent months with a heavy,
heavy heart. No more is the image of America one of strong, yet
benevolent peacekeeper. The image of America has changed. Around the
globe, our friends mistrust us, our word is disputed, our intentions
are questioned. Instead of reasoning with those with whom we disagree,
we demand obedience or threaten recrimination. Instead of isolating
Saddam Hussein, we seem to have isolated ourselves. We proclaim a new
doctrine of preemption which is understood by few and feared by many.
We say that the United States has the right to turn its firepower on
any corner of the globe which might be suspect in the war on
terrorism. We assert that right without the sanction of any
international body. As a result, the world has become a much more
dangerous place. We flaunt our superpower status with arrogance. We
treat UN Security Council members like ingrates who offend our
princely dignity by lifting their heads from the carpet. Valuable
alliances are split. ... A pall has fallen over the Senate Chamber. We
avoid our solemn duty to debate the one topic on the minds of all
Americans, even while scores of thousands of our sons and daughters
faithfully do their duty in Iraq. What is happening to this country?
When did we become a nation which ignores and berates our friends?
When did we decide to risk undermining international order by adopting
a radical and doctrinaire approach to using our awesome military
might? How can...

He was fond of reading Proust and Dostoevsky. He studied the
Bhagavad Gita in Sanskrit, painted landscapes in oil, and flirted with
Marxism. His mannerisms -- such as saying "Gee!" when
pondering some scientific marvel -- were contagious. And when the US
government
decided to
incinerate
hundreds of thousands of fishermen, housewives, cooks, potters, and
Zen monks as a decisive blow for peace in 1945, he told the commanding
officers on the mission, "Don't let them detonate it too high . .
. or the target won't get as much damage." He was
J. Robert Oppenheimer, the mild-mannered destroyer of
worlds who
led the Manhattan Project, portrayed in a new biography called
American Prometheus. Quote of the Day -- Robert Kagan -- Nov.
