“Improved Audio, Video and Graphics Enable Broader Set of PC Uses SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 21, 2004 - In one of the most significant PC platform changes in a decade, Intel Corporation today announced products that usher in a range of audio, video and other capabilities previously found only on specialty PCs. In addition to making the PC experience more entertaining and productive, these technologies pave the way for such emerging capabilities as High Definition (HD) video, 7.1 surround sound and robust file protection for office and home users.These technologies are helping create a new kind of PC, an all-in-one “hi-fi” device with high-definition video, high-fidelity sound and wireless connectivity, according to Louis Burns, vice president and general manager, Intel Desktop Platforms Group.”Just as an afterthought, that press release reminds me of what I dislike intensely about politicians- glittering generalities. “New technologies” and “digital revolution”. Hogwash! In a year we’ll look back and decide that the technology was just another evolutionery step in CPU design and that all those marvelous toys are just so much hype, since about 1% of it ever happened. Oh, the future is certainly bright enough, but look at the realities of it all: Intel has to accept AMD’s 64-bit chip code as the gold standard, their new chips are hobbled and flawed, and they’re pinning their hopes on dual-core chips that aren’t in fab yet, because they weren’t supposed to be produced until 2006. It’s pretty clear that Intel, for whatever reason, made a serious tactical error when it came to 64-bit desktop chips and now they’re trying ever so hard to catch up. I’ve never cared that much for Intel, it’s true. I simply think that they produce good chip concepts, but the execution is a little lame and the prices are too high by 40%. At least they make good motherboards (usually). And in all this time, they haven’t figured out their errors. Maybe they can come up with an entirely new bell or whistle to regain the lead, but I don’t know what it could be… Maybe direct I/O ports on the CPU? Who knows.I do know one thing- “an all-in-one “hi-fi” device with high-definition video, high-fidelity sound and wireless connectivity” doesn’t hold the promise of anything startlingly new and innovative, to me. I think they call it a ‘Home Theatre’ package.

Digital Lifestyle Day

Digital Lifestyle Day 03/14/2005 05:38 PM
Digital Lifestyle Day 05 is underway here in Munich and happily my panel was not only the very first one, but I was the first speaker. So now my work is done and I can enjoy the conference and the mingling and the snacks and coffee! It's been very interesting so far and fun to share the stage with people like Caterina (from flickr.com) and Michael (from last.fm). My brain's bubbling with lots of thoughts, most of which would be clearer if I weren't quite so tired. Still, the conference is fun so far. Check out the website for more information, I believe they're putting up streams of the presentations so you can see what's going on.

Gates goes Digital Lifestyle

Gates goes Digital Lifestyle 01/06/2005 02:37 PM

Once before in my life - Bill Gates and I were in sync on a rising fad. That one was called Multimedia and it went onto being something pretty big.

I got several calls and letter this morning from Vegas telling me that Bill just pitched "Digital Lifestyle" at his annual CES keynote address.

Welcome Bill. So here's an open letter to bill.

First of all - how are you kids? Great! Glad to hear that.

Now 'how yah gonna aggregate' all that stuff Bill?

Are you gonna try and lock it all up under one Microsoft proprietary data silo? I sure hope not. My buddy Kim Cameron told me you're beyond that sort of behavior nowadays.

Or are you going to acknowledge that perhaps us humans are creating our own stuff and we don't necessarily want Hollywood content - exclusively.

Sure - sure - we'll buy some songs and download some movies and we'll even pay for them - but that's not what we're about. We need DLAs to integrate, aggregate and provide customization to our digital lifestyle.

We need DLAs to provide us built-in constructs - that assume that media management is integrated, that messages and conversations are pervasive, that personal publishing - in all it's personifications - are exemplified as the ideal state of creatviity and baked into the core.

We need DLAs which can talk to other DLAs, understand social networks and mesh together millions of disparate networks together.

And MOST importantly we need our DLAs to gateway to Home LANs and our mobile devices.

In fact Bill - why don't you come to our Mobile Monday meeting (next Monday Jan. 10th) - and let's schmozoe about all this?

Thanks Bill - and welcome - again.

Let me say this upfront. What Jason is spelling out has several problems - which he also perfectly elucidates.

What he doesn't say is "that for all this to happen" - you need a COORDINATING company to make sure it all works. That's obvious.

I'll put my own answers to Jason's issues - IN BOLD AND CAPS - but I think you'll all see that Jason PERFECTLY spells out a realistic DLA scenario - thats' totally open and doable - by year's end.

Here we go.

Here's Jason's post called "Some "Web as platform" noodling"

In the discussion of Flickr and Feedburner's spliced RSS/Atom files, Harold said:

I'm beginning to think that feeds (and content tagging) should be the starting point, not an offshoot. Until now, our tools have produced web pages then feeds. I'm thinking we need tools that create feeds and then let us combine them into web pages.

To put this another way, a distributed data storage system would take the place of a local storage system. And not just data storage, but data processing/filtering/formatting. Taking the weblog example to the extreme, you could use TypePad to write a weblog entry; Flickr to store your photos; store some mp3s (for an mp3 blog) on your ISP-hosted shell account; your events calendar on Upcoming; use iCal to update your personal calendar (which is then stored on your .Mac account); use GMail for email; use TypeKey or Flickr's authentication system to handle identity; outsource your storage/backups to Google or Akamai; you let Feedburner "listen" for new content from all those sources, transform/aggregate/filter it all, and publish it to your Web space; and you manage all this on the Web at each individual Web site or with a Watson-ish desktop client.

Think of it like Unix...small pieces loosely joined. Each specific service handles what it's good at. Gmail for mail, iCal for calendars, TypePad for short bits of text, etc. Web client, desktop client, it doesn't much matter...whatever the user is most comfortable with. Then you just (just! ha!) pipe all these together however you want with services (or desktop apps) handling any filtering/processing that you need, and output it to the file/device/service of your choice. New services can be inserted into the process as they become available. You don't need to wait for Gmail to output RSS...just pipe your email to Feedburner and they'll hook you up.

There are, of course, plenty of hurdles to overcome:

- Currently a bit hard on wallet. When you're paying $5-20 per month for each one of these services (in addition to $50/mo for broadband and $45/mo for your cell phone), living the connected lifestyle is expensive. If a company like Google can offer bundles of these services, it might get cheaper.

WHY JUST GOOGLE? FIRST OF ALL - WHAT YOU'RE DESCRIBING WAS CALLED HAILSTORM - AND MICROSOFT MIGHT JUST GET TO IT - TOO - ONCE LONGHORN SHIPS AND WE DO ALL THEIR R&D FOR THEM.

SECOND OF ALL - I THINK BEFORE GOOGLE GETS THERE - MY COMPANY BROADBAND MECHANICS WILL - IN ADDITION TO OTHERS. YOU ALSO DIDN'T MENTION DRUPAL OR SOME SORT OF FRAMEWORK (MAYBE EVEN IBM'S NEW 'ECLIPSE' AS MIDDLEWARE) THAT PULLS ALL OF THIS TOGETHER AND PROVIDES COMMUNITY FEATURES.... COMMUNITY SITES ARE EXACTLY WHERE A BUNCH OF GEEKS - WORK TOGETHER - AND GET THIS ALL TO WORK - FOR PARTICULAR AFFINITY GROUPS, TARGETED VERTICALS AND LOCAL REGIONAL ACTIVISM.

- Data needs to be portable. If Flickr starts to suck, you should be able to easily move all of your photos to a better service.

DUDE - FLICKR AIN'T GONNA EVER SUCK. IT ROCKS.

- Redundancy and failing gracefully. What if Blogger is unavailable when I want to rebuild my Web site after my Flickr photostream has been updated (see my MTAmazon plug-in problem)? Does the rebuild just fail or is the data cached somewhere?

AMEN BROTHER - STABILITY IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN BY DEFAULT IT TAKES HARD WORK - WORK THAT SOMEBODY HAS TO PAY FOR.

- You need to get everyone to agree on interop/formats/etc. Fortunately, it seems like companies are a lot more willing to do this than 4-5 years ago (Amazon, Google, Flickr, Upcoming, & TypePad all have APIs or allow data output via RSS/Atom).

NOW LET'S SEE? WHAT THE HELL   HAVE I BEEN   DOING  LA TELY?

- Security. Lots of passwords and personal information will have to be passed around for all this to work. How about some commitment from these companies to keep this data as secure as they can?

HAVE YOU HEARD OF SXIP - YET? THE PIECES OF THE PUZZLE ARE COMING TOGETHER - RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR EYES!

This, then, is the promise of Web services. Nothing new, but it's nice to see things continue to head in this direction.

RIGHT ON TO JASON FOR WRITING THIS. MAJOR BOOKMARK TIME! I LOVE IT WHEN SMART PEOPLE DO THE WORK FOR ME.
