Vodafone May Have Bigger Fish To Fry -
Or Not 02/10/2004 05:32 PM
Talk about surprise endings... The big story everyone's been focused on in the wireless world over the past few weeks is the battle for AT&T Wireless. Everyone's been watching what Cingular, DoCoMo and Vodafone are going to do. The latest rumor, though, is that Vodafone might have even bigger ideas in mind. Instead of just looking at the $4 0 billion they might spend on AT&T Wireless, they're exploring the possibility of a $ 150 billion hostile takeover bid of all of Verizon - not just the wireless part (of which, they already own 45%). The plan would then be to sell off the boring non-wireless part of the business and then have full control over Verizon Wireless. Om Malik thinks that this is just a ploy by Vodafone to keep Verizon quiet and willing to buy out Vodafone's 45% of Verizon Wireless without trying to jack up the price. That definitely makes the most sense. Vodafone can do a lot more in pushing their "global" vision with AT&T Wireless (which uses the same network technology as Vodafone around the world) than with Verizon Wireless.

FT.com - It is a commonly held belief that Microsoft, Symbian and Linux are squared up for battle in the mobile operating systems market, with Linux playing the role of Alexander the Great's reserve cavalry. All other players, it is said, will be trampled underfoot in the melee. The prize is control of the value chain in mobile communications.

HP to acquire Snapfish photo service 03/22/2005 03:15 PM
Google envy? We’ll never know. I have to admit that I don’t see a clear motive for this move. Admittedly, HP already does cameras and printers, but why muddy the waters with an outfit whose main real usefulness was printing out digital photos? We’ll have to wait and see… Aiming to boost its presence in the digital-photography market, Hewlett-Packard said Monday that it plans to buy online photo service Snapfish. Read more……

Tele-Snaps:< /a> "Operating for 21 years, until 1968, this gifted amateur took considerably in excess of 250,000 still photographs of television programmes as they were being broadcast, perhaps even as many as half a million. He called them Tele-Snaps, the name a literal definition: by the direct method of fixing a 35mm camera to a tripod a short distance from his screen and shooting rolls of film, John Cura photographed entire programmes from the opening titles to the closing credits, creating usually up to 80 stills, sometimes more, as a unique record of a broadcast." One of the results of his hard work can be found here.

Microsoft snaps up Groove

Microsoft snaps up Groove 03/14/2005 05:45 PM
Microsoft to Acquire Groove Networks: And it's making Ray Ozzie, Groove's founder, chief technical officer. [Link via Dave Winer.] This strikes me as a pretty big deal -- here's why.

Ozzie, the creator of Lotus Notes, started Groove as an effort, once and for all, to solve the still incredibly thorny set of problems surrounding collaborative software. This is an area that's been legendarily difficult for technology companies to crack (Netscape, for example, foundered after it took a turn in this direction by acquiring a company called Collabra). Ozzie and Groove haven't figured everything out, but they've come a lot closer than many of their predecessors. Most recently, Groove has found a big client in the U.S. government, which has adopted its technology for extensive military use (causing a certain amount of controversy).

By scooping up Ozzie and Groove, Microsoft is doing what it has always done: extending its reach by embracing (or consuming) smaller companies that have made technical breakthroughs Microsoft's big research labs and development teams haven't been able to match. It's a smart move for Bill Gates and company -- an indication that they remain absolutely determined not to fall behind the competition, and a sign that Microsoft intends to push the boundaries of collaborative software's capabilities. It will be interesting to see where they take Groove: Let's face it, Windows and Office are both pretty creaky for users who want to share and coordinate work nimbly and quickly. Gee, maybe information technology does still matter, sometimes.
