I just received word that I have been admitted into the International Business Strategy Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program at the Hitotsubashi University Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy. I was talking to them last year about possibly applying, since the Ministry of Education recently changed the rules so people could apply for a doctorate program without a masters degree. Unfortunately, I don't even have an undergraduate degree so it was tough nuggies for me. They changed the rules this year and let me apply again and I got in. I guess this makes me the least educated student to ever be admitted. hmm...

Anyway, the real reason I'm doing this isn't the degree, although that's nice. It's a very cool program where I will be able to use the resources of the university including research and the professors. My only deliverable is a book on the sharing economy. I don't have to take any classes and the topic really fits right in with Creative Commons, blogging and everything else I'm doing. I'm a big fan of many of the professors at the school and I am really psyched to be able to exploit them officially now. ;-)

A pair of articles from Reuters and USA Today try to extrapolate the buying habits of students returning to college, which would be sort of interesting if there were some hard numbers, but they're mostly a "Talk to Analysts, See What They Like," sort of thing. Still, it's good to hear that Averatec's C3500 Tablet PC is selling well; I haven't used one, but the price is right, for sure. Other stalwarts like Palms and Sidekicks and iPods aren't that surprising, but the USA Today article, claiming the success of the iPod this year is causing more students to purchase Apple laptops (specifically iBooks) is curious. I'm a little sketched, honestly, but I'm looking forward to the numbers later this year. Even Apple themselves has said they don't really expect the iPod to translate into increased sales numbers for the Mac.

And even if more students are using Macs, it's not as if that means they'll continue to use them out in the real world. I mean, everybody that that first smoked pot in college immediately stopped on the day they graduated, right?

Atlanta Embraces New Trend in Computer
Help

Atlanta Embraces New Trend in Computer
Help 09/23/2004 02:41 AM
As the complexity and functionality of computers has surged in recent years, so has the number of software conflicts, hardware meltdowns, rampaging viruses, and other digital gremlins. In more simple times a technologically-inclined friend or neighbor could be called upon to save the day, but now that same type of haphazard help is no longer sufficient to cure modern malfunctions. With no choice but to seek the help of licensed professionals, computer users have scrutinized their options—and have been sorely disappointed. On the one hand they can receive phone support, which is often difficult to understand and is replete with communication barriers. On the other hand they can take their computers to a local mom-and-pop repair shop, but unfortunately that requires disassembling the entire system and lugging it to and from a car. So what’s a computer owner to do? High-tech experts like Keith Abbey have the answer: on-site computer support. The growing trend of on-site services has begun to sweep across the nation, which is why Abbey decided to ride the wave by purchasing an Atlanta-based franchise with Geeks On Call® -- the nation’s premier provider of on-site computer support.

3rd Wave Hits Atlanta

3rd Wave Hits Atlanta 02/10/2004 02:40 AM
3rd Wave, a provider of outsourced IT services for small- to medium-sized businesses in Atlanta, is building Wi-Fi networks without charge for venues around town as a way to drum up awareness of the company: So far, it has built hotspots in 12 venues and expects to have a total of 20 unwired by the end of next week. 3rd Wave doesn't charge for setup or ongoing maintenance and its only requirement is that the venues in turn offer the connection to customers free of charge. 3rd Wave listened to its workers who suggested that a coffee shop across the street from its offices set up a Wi-Fi network so they could work from the shop. When the store, part of a national chain, began offering Wi-Fi, it came with a fee that was too high for 3rd Wave workers' tastes. "So we sat down and thought, 'what if we wired up places like that?'" said Mike Landman, president of 3rd Wave. The company initially approached a few venues in town and started setting up networks, but since the word has gotten out, owners of coffee shops, bookstores, and restaurants are now coming to 3rd Wave asking for the free setup. Shops that offer the connection also set out table tents (self-standing flyers) that mention 3rd Wave. The gateway signup page that users see when they fire up their computers' browser for the first time on the network displays a 3rd Wave logo and a description of the company. 3rd Wave has a few requirements for which venues it will build the networks for. "They have to be retail with business traffic, so if you're in the sticks or only cater to 15 year olds we wouldn't offer it," Landman said. Some shops that have been denied have offered to pay 3rd Wave for the setup and ongoing maintenance. "So we're entertaining that idea," he said. Landman particularly targets venues nearby his offices. "We want to keep where we set them up close to where we are to build a sense of community," he said. 3rd Wave uses access points (APs) and software from Sputnik. That software lets 3rd Wave remotely reboot the AP and remotely determine what may be causing a problem. Landman credits the quality of the APs for the fact that his workers spend just 30 minutes setting up each network. 3rd Wave has committed to buying...

Atlanta has been a laggard in major airport Wi-Fi coverage: They've been discussing airport access as part of a broader citywide Wi-Fi service since 2004. The airport was supposed to be unwired this spring, but let's not blame them for ambitious plans. The company that was to provide this service still says coming soon on their Atlanta FastPass page, the name for this project. The airport will offer service on a wholesale basis to providers which will resell it or include it to their customers, an approach which seems to offer the least friction. The service will cost $3 million to install. The article doesn't mention anything about the larger Atlanta project....
