Home Ownership Should Not be Roulette

Home Ownership Should Not be Roulette 05/12/2004 12:48 PM
Risk is the elixir that made Silicon Valley great. But when people treat housing like a late-1990s technology stock investment, common sense has run off the rails. Mortgage lenders are putting home buyers into so-called ``nothing-down'' and ``interest-only'' loans, the Mercury News' Sue McAllister reported last weekend. The lenders pushing such deals are irresponsible because they're encouraging a dangerous kind of debt.

Strategy: Don't Make Your Rates Cheaper;
Force Higher Taxes On The Competition 04/13/2005 02:55 PM
Cable TV seems to be one area where rates have been incre asing a bit more rapidly than just about any other service. The cable companies like to blame the content providers who keep charging more -- and, indeed, that's part of the problem. However, as cable gets more and more expensive, it's only driving people to look elsewhere. Satellite TV providers Dish Network and DirecTV have capitalized on this to scoop up many customers by offering cheaper starter packages -- and apparently it's working. The cable companies, rather than trying to figure out ways to reduce their rates, are now apparently pushing for higher taxes to be charged to satellite providers. The argument they're making, of course, is that they're taxed locally, so taxing the satellite guys is only fair. The problem with that, though, is the reason cable providers are taxed locally is because they use up local resources (and often are granted local monopolies).

DRM Ownership Token

DRM Ownership Token 01/29/2004 02:49 AM

There is a big rant exchange going on over music encoding schemes (WMA, AAC, MP3), DRM, and degree of choice.  It all started with Robert Scoble and then bounced all across the board touching off iPod fanatics, Microsoft hater, and copyright guerillas.

As for me, I don't think music encoding scheme will matter in the future.  I think market competition, consumer activism, and hackers together will eventually force online music services to provide a token of ownership for each music one buys, a token that can used to get same music encoded in a different format.

Anything else will be as attractive as going to a underground disco without fire escapes.

Checking Code Ownership

Checking Code Ownership 10/29/2003 12:10 AM
SCO claims that hundreds of lines of their Unix SVR4 code have somehow been mixed with the millions of lines of the Linux kernel, and that SCO should therefore receive a billion dollars from IBM. (Or something like that. Novell says that SCO doesn't own SVR4, SCO says they do own SVRx, Eric Raymond says that SVR4 contains misattributed BSD Unix code, and Darl McBride of SCO says something different every week.) I'll let you in on a dirty little secret: Many large software systems contain stolen or misattributed code. This is true of both in-house software and shrinkwrap software.

The true cost of software ownership

The true cost of software ownership 01/17/2004 10:45 PM
What does "total cost of ownership" really mean in relation to commercial computer software? It's not the same as ownership of a tangible asset. I own a '67 Chevy -- I have a title that says so, and all of the rights and responsibilities of ownership that naturally comes with it. I can compute what I paid to acquire and maintain this asset in usable condition.

Computer Ownership to Double by 2010

PC ownership to 'double by 2010'  (BBC News)

The number of personal computers worldwide is expected to double by 2010 to 1.3 billion machines, say analysts. The growth will be driven by emerging markets such as China, Russia and India, the report predicted. My question is, what operating system will these new markets use on their PC's? China has already endorsed their Red Linux. Will Linux finally get it's chance, or will these new markets continue to use pirated Windows versions?
