I love checking the RSS feed from the NewScientist.com everyday. They have some great articles and they know how to dumb-down the articles so even I can understand them. Today they have a truly intriguing article on 13 things that do not make sense in the field of science. I can remember many of the incidents but I did not understand the ramifications of what was going on at the time, until now. The article breaks down the incident and the questions it created and the reasons it does not make sense. Great reading for all geeks.

Age Of Instant Info

Does The Embargo Still Make Sense In An
Age Of Instant Info 12/24/2004 12:18 PM
Reporters get stories that have been "embargoed" all the time. Basically, they're told about some information, but they can't write about it until a certain date. While the basic idea behind this is that the reporter can research the story thoroughly, rather than rushing to "scoop" other reporters, the end result actually comes off more as a coordinated PR stunt when all of the articles about some new company, technology or scientific breakthrough all come out at the same instant. The PR people love it -- but some reporters are starting to question whether or not the embargo makes sense. Especially in the age of the Internet, where information flow is nearly instantaneous, the idea of the embargo makes less sense. It gets even trickier when bloggers get involved. I can't remember where, but earlier this year, a blogger broke some story on his blog because he had been sent a press release that had been "embargoed." Realizing that he had never agreed to any embargo, he didn't feel it was a problem. Other bloggers have run into embargo problems as well, as they don't know quite how to handle a situation where they're under embargo for information, but others let it out earlier anyway.

Quick Summation Of Why Software Patents

Quick Summation Of Why Software Patents
Don't Make Sense 02/12/2004 02:16 PM
Wired is running an interview with Pamela Jones, who has been doing an amazing job analyzing every SCO misstep over at GrokLaw. If you follow the case at all, you're likely to be familiar with the site. The interview, though, focuses on what she's going to do with the site once the SCO mess goes away. It's clear that she's not going to stop, but is gearing up to take on other intellectual property messes (which will continue to come, fast and furious). The reason I'm posting this, though, is a great quote from her concerning the problem of patenting software: "With time I expect that as tech savvy-ness increases in the judiciary, and it will, someone will notice that software is just math, creativity and math, and patenting 1 + 1 = 2 will eventually set us up to where only the owners of that and similar patents can write software. Meanwhile the rest of the world will move ahead in development, while the United States is stuck in the mud because no one can write 1 + 1 = 2 without crossing somebody's palm with silver."

Why Charging For Newspaper Content
Online Doesn't Make Sense

Why Charging For Newspaper Content
Online Doesn't Make Sense 11/07/2003 04:16 AM
One of the arguments that shows up here repeatedly is on the backwardness of local newspapers charging for online content. There are a number of reasons why it's a bad idea - from the level of taking yourself out of the online discussion and believing that walled garden content can survive to misunderstanding the very basic economics of the internet. Still, many newspapers are trying to do so, and some even believe that it's going well. Along comes Vin Crosbie, who knows both the newspaper business and the online content world, to smack a little sense into them. The Albuquerque Journal explained why they thought they were brilliant for creating a "successful" operation charging for their online content, and Crosbie picks apart the argument, bit by bit, and explains how they're actually losing money on this plan - and how all their other examples of newspapers charging for online content are bad (or irrelevant) examples. If you're interested in the economics of online content, it's worth a read.

Do high schools make sense in an age of
jets and Internet?

Do high schools make sense in an age of
jets and Internet? 07/13/2004 07:02 PM

I've recently finished up the school year doing volunteer tutoring in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts's most expensive (and one of the worst-performing) public high schools, right across the street here in Cambridge.  Simultaneously I've been reading some articles about the most expensive high school ever built in the United States, the $286 million Belmont Learning Center in Los Angeles (b ackground article).  I'm beginning to wonder if the idea of a local public high school isn't just a leftover habit from the 19th century when international travel was expensive and time-consuming and telecommunications did not exist.

Suppose that you had a 16-year-old named Johnnie and the $14,000 per year that the local school district will spend to keep him occupied for a year.  If there were no Boeing 747s, cheap telephones, or Internet you might want to send him to a nearby school.  But for less than $2000 we can send that kid anywhere in the world and bring him back for Christmas and Spring Break.  For a few cents per minute we can pick up the phone and talk to our kid regardless of where he happens to be.

Hmm... maybe we can send Johnnie to China for one year.  He will go to an elite private boarding school and learn Mandarin, probably the most useful language for business, aside from English, for the foreseeable future.  With the money left over from the $14,000 after subtracting for airfare and school fees we can send Johnnie on a backpacking tour around Australia during his summer break.  Next year, because Johnnie was never that great at math, maybe we'll send him to India to be tutored 1:1 by a math PhD (compare to being one of 25 students in a classroom led by a teacher only slightly ahead of the better students).  The $12,000 we have left over after paying for airfare is more than the salary of a professor at the Indian Institute of Technology, one of the world's finest universities.  So Johnnie can also learn how to manage a few servants and maybe play some polo.  For Johnnie's last year before college maybe it would be good if he learned fluent Spanish and got to know our neighbors in Latin America.  So we send him off to Argentina or Mexico to attend one of their finest private schools.

Wouldn't Johnnie be a lot better prepared to distinguish himself among college applicants with such an education?  And better prepared to get a job in a global economy?  Maybe the best option to settle the debate over what kind of high school is best is "no high school".

Money 2005: Microsoft Unveils Simplified
Approach to Financial Management and
Helps People Make Sense of Their Money 09/21/2004 08:41 AM
Marking the largest development effort for Microsoft(R) Money since the personal finance software was launched 13 years ago, Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) today announced Microsoft Money 2005 Premium, Deluxe, Standard and Small Business. Completely rebuilt to simplify daily financial tasks, Money 2005 is designed to answer the growing number of consumer requests for a simple solution that addresses the three primary areas of financial concern: tracking account balances, monitoring spending and paying bills. Consumers today have less time than ever to spend managing their finances, which has contributed to the number of American households banking online -- due to its convenience and efficiency -- reaching nearly 33 million.(1) Money 2005 builds on this trend by helping people access all their accounts in one place and providing automated tools that reduce or eliminate the manual entry required by traditional personal finance software.

Now it all makes sense.....

Now it all makes sense..... 02/01/2005 08:42 PM

Greed and digital convergence often go hand in hand.

Many a deal has been f*cked up by some greedy (usually white male) as**hole who thinks he can't just stick to his business model and evolve into digital convergence - organically (read: later.)

No this guy - needs to try and take it all - NOW. He's gonna make his play, and dam the logic of the alliances, the virtue of doing it right and smart - we want IT ALL - NOW.

That seems to be what Mike Ramsey at TiVO did.

Instead of going into a deal with COMCAST, which was critical - given the fact that PVRs are becoming a commodity and Microsoft and Digeo are on their asses. TiVO turned down a deal with COMCAST supposedly in favor of their "digital convergence/Home LAN" play. This is why they bought Strangeberry.

But what seems strange to me is why couldn't TiVO have lciensed it software to COMCAST and STILL do their Home LAN play?

Why can't they organically grow into a Home LAN play, evolving their brand into something that means - cool, compelling experience that works?

By turning down the COMCAST deal, Mike Ramsey got kicked out and now they'll probably never ship the Strangeberry V3 - and they'll just tube - as COMCAST will hook up with MS and squash them.

Oh well.

Here's Peter Rojas' engadget report....

Ok, now we understand why TiVo CEO Michael Ramsay was “promoted” out of his job last week. You know how people have been telling TiVo how the only way they’re going to survive would be to convince some a cable company to license their digital video recorder software for use on set-top boxes?

Yeah, well according to the New York Times last summer they were about to score a big deal with Comcast to do precisely this, that is until Ramsay pulled the plug at the last moment because he was convinced TiVo wasn’t getting paid enough money or given enough control over the service.

We won’t second guess his decision, since we don’t know the exact terms of the deal (though apparently they were pretty bad), but you know what, TiVo is sort of in a life-or-death situation right now and might have to take what it can get if it wants to stick around. The company is still not turning a profit, they’re facing increased competition from all sides (from cable companies with their generic DVR-capable set top boxes, Digeo’s Moxi, and Microsoft’s Media Center OS, not to mention stuff like MythTV and Beyond TV), and having deal like this in place would have been especially valuable in the wake of their recent break up with DirecTV. Now it’s Microsoft and Digeo who are testing their software with Comcast and TiVo that’s being left out in the cold. Ramsay says his strategy was to make an end-run around the cable companies and focus on turning the TiVo into a digital entertainment hub (i.e. “convergence”, i.e. the same thing everyone else claims to be working on), but now he’s out (at least as CEO, he’s staying on as chairman) and it’s unlikely that whoever succeeds him will have the luxury of grand visions: right now they’re going to have to focus on ensuring that TiVo is still in business a year from now.

[engadget]

This is important stuff. TiVO defined PVRs and now they're about to lose the market. Same thing is happening to NetFlix as we speak.

Is it lack of patents and bank account that causes this to happen or it something more about execution and staying smart. It's not good enough to be first and be really smart about your product offering or compelling experience.

It's about staying smart and working with others. Not being too greedy and keeping your eye on the end-user's experience - not your bank account. Or shall I say your future bank account.

Yah gotta follow DROC (do not run-out-of cash.) But you also can't be too greedy. TiVO knew that COMCAST knew that DirecTV was blowing off TiVO. TiVo should have known that MS was sucking up to COMCAST - HARD.

Why was COMCAST trying to do a deal with TiVO? Cause TiVO has the best product and experience. But they weren't able to come to a deal. Hmmmmmm.

Sounds like Apple to me.

It was a lively conversation, and gives you a bit of an idea where my thinking is these days. The best part of talking with him was discussing what I'm interested in doing next. The answer of course is lots of things! But in particular I got all jazzed up again about some ideas I've been thinking about for a while. When you've just finished a job, and you're spending you days alone at home, getting jazzed up about ideas is a really great thing.

The Cato Institute's Adam Thierer's makes good sense in this essay on how to draw lines in the copyright debate. Key quote:

"But how we call in the cops and who the IP cops are makes a big difference. In particular, we shouldn’t expect Congress or regulatory agencies to legislate on every problem that creeps up or ban or mandate specific technological solutions in an attempt to solve IP debates. But when certain parties are egregiously violating the rights of copyright holders, they are certainly justified in seeking redress in the courts."

Bots-Only Poker Tournament

Bots-Only Poker Tournament 06/17/2005 03:45 PM

If our las t post on bots in online poker is any indication, a lot of you might be interested in this LA Times Article:

The march of the machines will be celebrated in Las Vegas next month with the world's first money tournament for robots — and the $100,000 prize is drawing a handful of coders out of anonymity.

The emerging technology does more than raise the stakes for real people and online casinos. It also raises fundamental questions about how far computers have come in mimicking and improving on human behavior, and about how far they can go in the future.

The article goes on to quote some AI folks stating that getting a computer to master poker will probably drive AI forward far more than a computer winning chess or backgammon, since it's such a psychological game, and involves understanding human patterns.

Sadly, this poker tournament will not include my favorite parts of a local Texas Hold'em tournament. Namely, eating too many chips and laughing so hard that I nearly fall out of my chair.

VS-MAXX TV Poker with Texas Hold 'Em
Handsets 07/14/2004 12:06 PM

Watching poker on TV? Fine. Playing poker on TV, without cards? I don't know, it sort of loses some of the magic for me (I just think, "What Would Ricky Jay Do?"). But some poker folks are apparently pretty excited about this Texas Hold 'Em TV Poker gizmo from VS-MAXX. It displays the cards and table on your TV, then displays the secret hole cards on a private handset. The rounds would go faster, I suppose, and you would have an extra hand free for whisky at all times ... say, this isn't such a bad idea, after all!
