A questionable demise?

A questionable demise? 12/02/2003 03:09 AM
Kenneth Michael Trentadue was found dead in his cell in 1995, and ruled a suicide despite sloppy handling of evidence and other eyebrow-raisers. DOJ's Civil Rights Division punted in 1997, and it was again ruled suicide in 1999 by their Office of the Inspector General. Last week, an AP story said the DOJ's Public Integrity Section would be taking the matter up yet again. While there are plenty of fringe sources in a google search on his full name, there seems to be enough in the mainstream to support the notion that something doesn't add up.

Cometa's Demise Detailed 05/19/2004 08:49 AM
Reports today provide more detail on Cometa Networks' shutdown: In news broken here yesterday, Cometa Networks will cease operations. Several publications provide more insight into what happened and what will happen to existing venues. Richard Shim of News.com offers good analysis that scale and resale are the only ways in which hotspot networks can spread out expense and have enough usage. One analyst notes what is becoming a refrain: Wi-Fi service has to be an add-on package for existing offerings, not a standalone subscription. Seattle reporter John Cook of The Post-Intelligencer talks to Cometa's venue and reseller partners, who were taken by surprise and are sorting through how to proceed....

The inevitable demise of meetup.com

The inevitable demise of meetup.com 04/14/2005 07:31 PM
In the beginning was a great idea: let’s create a Web site that makes it easy for people with similar interests to find each other and coordinate face-to-face meetings. And so Meetup.com was born, and grew, and grew. Along the way it became part of the massive, amorphous “social networking” set of companies (which includes LinkedIn, Orkut, Ryze and most famously Friendster. All of these companies now face the same challenge that hit thousands of…

Longhorn's Demise Gives Linux Its Chance

Longhorn's Demise Gives Linux Its Chance 09/03/2004 08:23 AM
Longhorn's delay may be Linux's gain, according to Linux vendors and analysts. With Longhorn shorn of most of its most important features, such as WinFS (Windows File System), Linux supporters are hopeful that the Linux desktop can finally make inroads into the hearts and minds of corporate desktop users.

Dr. Frederick Berenstein, chairman and CTO of Xandros Inc., thinks Linux can do more than just catch up with Windows. He thinks Linux can do better.

"It is understandable, given the complexity of Microsoft's vision of the new [WinFS] system that they chose to remove it from Longhorn until it is fully functional. The Linux community is aware of the direction Microsoft is taking and is planning to bring comparable pervasive search capabilities to the Linux desktop," said Berenstein.

Specifically, Berenstein noted, "It was just announced at the KDE [K Desktop Environment] Community World Summit that the next release of KDE upon which the Xandros GUI is based, may incorporate a Google-type facility on the control panel to search local content. Considering the Longhorn delays, there's a good chance that Xandros will beat Microsoft to the punch."

Afraid to Breath Out 04/09/2004 05:30 PM

I love garlic but I love miniture garlic more.  What is miniture garlic?

I am not sure if they are really garlic but they are spicy and has that piercing and lingering taste similar to garlic.  In Korea, they are called Dal-lae.  They are sold at Korean markets but only for short period of time late spring/early summer.  They are hard to prepare too.  What you see above took my wife an hour.

Best way to eat them is raw with a touch of dressing made with soy sauce, vinegar, red pepper, sugar, and sesame oil.  Very very delicious if you like spicy food.  Only downside is that, as with garlic, breathing out calls for courage.

VOIP: Be Very Afraid

VOIP: Be Very Afraid 05/05/2004 09:37 AM
Here's what Michael Powell had to say about voice over IP to the main cable industry trade show:

"I think it's going to be the very, very best and biggest breakthrough in our ambitions and dreams about competition ever."

You tell 'em, Mike!  Seriously, Powell is dead-on here.  He understands what VOIP represents, and the significance of the regulatory issues it raises for the FCC.  As do the key FCC staffers, who I talk with periodically.

However, I've been disappointed that Powell's FCC has so far taken a nibbling, incremental approach to VOIP.  They are still putting off the hard issues, while addressing what look like easy cases.  In reality, those cases (like the AT&T petition the FCC recently denied) aren't so easy.  And the FCC's tentative, limited decisions will still be taken as definitive by those in the marketplace.  I'm convinced the FCC is committed to addressing the fundamental VOIP policy issues squarely, but that commitment needs to translate into action. 

A good indicator will be how quickly the FCC moves forward, either through formal decisionmaking or public activities, after the comment cycle on its major voice over IP proceeding closes at the end of June.

Claim of P2P's demise highly overstated,

Cory Doctorow: Entertainment Media Research's bogus study on music downloading concluded that "35% of music listeners are using legal download services, and that the percentage will soon surpass illegal downloads, currently at 40%." A Slashdot reader trashes the bad statistical comparisons here, with remarkable acuity:

This is a classic example of bogus statistics. The two figures have absolutely nothing to do with each other. The 30% of people using legal downloads might be mutually exclusive or totally overlapping with the 40% that use illegal downloads. The numbers need not total to 100% (and could total to more than 100%). At best we can conclude:

1. No greater than 70% of music listeners download music (legal or illegal) -- i.e., as much as 30% of music listeners simply don't download music.
2. No fewer than 40% of music listeners download music (legal or illegal).
3. At most, 30% use both legal and illegal downloads.
4. It's possible (based on this limited data) that no one does both illegal and legal downloading.

In next month's survey, both numbers could go up or down since the survey does not ask "do you ONLY download music from legal/ illegal sources." Moreover, the survey provides no estimates of volumes -- illegal downloaders could be downloading 10X or 10X less than their legal-downloading counterparts. Or people that download legal music could be the biggest "pirates" and this survey would be none the wiser.
