Thieves steal Michelle Branch's gadgets

Thieves steal Michelle Branch's gadgets 10/29/2003 01:14 AM
It's not very often that the worlds of celebrities and gadgets intersect (like that time when the "Dude you're getting a Dell" dude got arrested right in front of our apartment here in New York), but some thieves made off with Michelle Branch's laptop, cellphone, and iPod during a daring heist at the Aladdin Hotel and Casino where she was staying while attending the 2003 Radio Music Awards in Las Vegas. Oh, and they also stole a million dollars worth of jewelry from Nelly, but this isn't a jewelry blog, so we don't care about that. Read...

Wired: Why Your Next Phone Call May Be
Online 01/04/2004 11:58 PM
A brief "how this stuff works" piece on VoIP I wrote for the current issue of Wired Magazine:

Regional and long-distance carriers, facing extinction, are lobbying government officials for protection. California, Minnesota, and at least nine other states are pushing for some sort of regulation, and the FCC is weighing its options. Meanwhile, big telecom is joining the party. International voice carrier Teleglobe is acquiring a VoIP wholesaler, and others are poised to follow suit. Cox, Comcast, Cablevision, Qwest, and Time Warner are also rolling out VoIP offerings. Their existing customer bases, fat pipe IP infrastructures, and coveted "last mile" connectivity create a powerful triple threat. And, as more telecommunications monopolies around the world open up for competition, the cost savings promised by VoIP seems destined to spark a market shift as dramatic as the one that followed US telecom deregulation decades ago.

Rebuilt Da Vinci Self-Propelled Wagon

Rebuilt Da Vinci Self-Propelled Wagon 07/03/2004 11:36 AM

The Times has a great article about a modern-day recreation of a design by Leonardo Da Vinci -- a three-wheeled wagon that may not only have been the world's first self-propelled vehicle, but possibly one of the first computers. Powered by a wound spring, tensed by pushing the wagon backwards, the range of the device -- which has been rebuilt for the Leonardo museum and library in Vinci, Italy -- was only about 40 yards. Not enough for a trip to the trip to the store, but enough, perhaps, to move a prop across a stage by itself.

Why hotels need to charge you $7 for a
phone call (hint: Bill Gates is
involved)

Why hotels need to charge you $7 for a
phone call (hint: Bill Gates is
involved) 02/14/2004 02:39 PM

If you stay in a lot of hotels, as I do, it seems odd that after reaming you out of $150 per night they also need to charge you $7 for a short phone call, $7 to wash a T-shirt, $20 for breakfast, $13 for Internet access, etc.  A friend who owns hotels explained what is happening...

A standard travel agency sells you a hotel room for $X and takes a commission, usually 10%, passing the remaining 90% on to the hotel.  Thus 90% of what you pay can be used by the hotel to make your stay pleasant, invest in high-speed Internet, put in a phone system.  Some online services such as Orbitz and Travelocity act as travel agents, finding the best rooms that they can and taking a fixed percentage commission.

Expedia, a company spun off by Microsoft in 1999 but presumably still substantially owned by Microsoft and Bill Gates, uses its dominant market position to arrange favorable deals with hotels.  The deal might be that Expedia gets to buy up to 50 rooms per night for $75 each, for example.  If the market is soft Expedia can resell those rooms to consumers for $100 per night.  If the market is tight Expedia can resell those rooms for $200 per night, pocketing the $125 difference between what they charge the traveler and what they pay the hotel.  If things are so bad that nobody wants to pay $75 on a particular night, Expedia dumps the vacant rooms back on the hotel.  Much of the profits that hotels formerly earned and invested back in their properties is now being captured by Expedia.

So if you book via Expedia and have to pay $20 for breakfast, have some sympathy for the hotel owner.  He might have gotten less than half of what you paid Expedia for that room.
