Rationalizing the dual 1.8GHz Power Mac

Rationalizing the dual 1.8GHz Power Mac 11/18/2003 02:02 PM
The Mac web is abuzz with the the recent update to the midrange Power Mac G5. That Apple would release a dual 1.8GHz Power Mac G5 without updating the dual 2.0GHz model is curious. Apple is risking cannibalizing the sales of the popular dual 2.0GHz Power Mac G5 by making the midrange model far more attractive from a price-performance perspective. Though the dual 1.8GHz lacks the high-powered graphics card of the the top-end model, the video card it does have is no slouch, and there are...

Raw Deal

Raw Deal 08/19/2004 06:34 PM
This morning we linked to a New York Times story on the resignation of Deal Hudson, the Bush campaign adviser and point man on Catholic voters who is also publisher of the conservative Catholic journal Crisis. Hudson stepped down ahead of an investigative profile being penned about him in a Catholic publication. The piece by the National Catholic Reporter's Joe Feuerherd has now been published, and it's a doo zy. Maybe now Hudson will stop lecturing people about morals and calling on U.S. clergy to denounce John Kerry "whenever and wherever he campaigns as a Catholic" because he doesn't agree with the Vatican on everything.

iPod + HP = No big deal

iPod + HP = No big deal 08/28/2004 11:08 AM
When Apple and Hewlett Packard teamed up in January to create and HP-branded version of the iPod, I, like so many others, was intrigued by the possibilities. For one, the pact represented the first of its kind for Apple and pushed the limits of cloning and imitating — here wasn’t a mere replica, it was a slightly modified version of the real thing. Secondly, at a time when the iPod was just beginning to take off, and the iPod mini was merely a preorder in hundreds of thousands of Inboxes, a partnership with a major distributor had far-reaching promise for both investors in the States and consumers overseas. Plus, it was blue. But now that it's here, it seems that the Apple iPod from HP, as it's been officially dubbed, doesn’t offer much in the way of prospect. Like a rookie who pitched his best game in preseason play, the new incarnation of the iPod seems like dead weight for Apple, while HP can ride the bench and collect its bloated paycheck. Granted, the HP Tattoos are pretty cool, but they do little to enhance the overall iPod experience — nor does the new packaging, USB 2.0 recommendation or Windows-like set-up poster. As far as I can tell, the iPod itself is identical to Apple’s offering, released five weeks later and in a new box. And it's <I>white</I>. I mean, didn’t Dell sell iPod last year? I fail to see how this is much different. Apparently, investors agree, as Apple’s stock dropped slightly, HP’s shares creeped up somewhat, and what was eagerly anticipated just 24 hours earlier turned into all hype and no substance. So, HP is selling iPods with its name engraved on the back… big deal. Maybe I'm missing something, or maybe I’m just being cynical, but I just don’t see the point. Now, Apple is making less per unit, and stands to lose brand recognition to HP. Selling the same iPod in a different box just doesn’t seem to offer anything positive for Apple. It all seemed so promising nearly eight months ago, but after more than a million sales, new stores, new models and a cover article in Newsweek, there doesn’t seem to be much punch behind the HP launch. It could be me, but I think the iPod is one thing Apple should keep to itself.

Possible Deal Aborted?

Possible Deal Aborted? 11/06/2003 12:44 AM
Claim: U.S. Government Spurned Peace Talks Before the War With Iraq - A possible negotiated peace deal was laid out in a heavily guarded compound in Baghdad in the days before the war, ABCNews has been told, but a top former Pentagon adviser says he was ordered not to pursue the deal, ABCNews has learned.
Baghdad Scrambled to Offer Deal to U.S. as War Loomed - As American soldiers massed on the Iraqi border in March and diplomats argued about war, an influential adviser to the Pentagon received a secret message from a Lebanese-American businessman: Saddam Hussein wanted to make a deal. Iraqi officials, including the chief of the Iraqi Intelligence Service, had told the businessman that they wanted Washington to know that Iraq no longer had weapons of mass destruction, and they offered to allow American troops and experts to conduct an independent search. The businessman said in an interview that the Iraqis also offered to hand over a man accused of being involved in the World Trade Center bombing in 1993 who was being held in Baghdad. At one point, he said, the Iraqis pledged to hold elections.

Crime may not pay, but oh, what a deal! 01/04/2004 11:59 AM
Hey, that was my getaway car!!! Ever wonder where property seized from criminals and crime scenes ends up? Steal It Back/The Property Room brings police auctions online, and New York City is now participating too, guaranteeing an large influx of interesting stuff. Part eBay and part "Cops" episode, the Web site is alternatively cheery ("Hot Pursuit Specials!") and puzzling. How did the police end up with that collectible "I Love Lucy" plate anyway? Where did those eight candlesticks and a Bible come from? Are they really selling that hydroponic grow light — that staple of dorm-room marijuana cultivation? How long before they show up to seize it back?

So what's the deal with GTD and
Tinderbox? 09/23/2004 12:21 AM

Of late I've been hearing more and more about “Getting Things Done” (aka GTD) and programs like Tinderbox? Seems that there's some new management trend starting to spread. Anyone actually use these systems? Are they useful for long-term productivity improvement? Before I go and investigate this too much further, I'm interested in hearing if it's just another management/productivity fad, or if there's something real behind all this. Both the book and the software seem to be getting a lot of conversation spreading about them.
