Money 2005: Microsoft Unveils Simplified
Approach to Financial Management and
Helps People Make Sense of Their Money 09/21/2004 08:41 AM
Marking the largest development effort for Microsoft(R) Money since the personal finance software was launched 13 years ago, Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) today announced Microsoft Money 2005 Premium, Deluxe, Standard and Small Business. Completely rebuilt to simplify daily financial tasks, Money 2005 is designed to answer the growing number of consumer requests for a simple solution that addresses the three primary areas of financial concern: tracking account balances, monitoring spending and paying bills. Consumers today have less time than ever to spend managing their finances, which has contributed to the number of American households banking online -- due to its convenience and efficiency -- reaching nearly 33 million.(1) Money 2005 builds on this trend by helping people access all their accounts in one place and providing automated tools that reduce or eliminate the manual entry required by traditional personal finance software.

Microsoft’s decision to return $75 billion to shareholders marks a shift in strategy, making it more likely the world's largest software maker will pull out of money-losing projects and focus more closely its core business, analysts said on Wednesday. By returning so much of its cash holdings, Microsoft will be forced to become more focused in how it funds existing ventures and any new businesses it might seek out, analysts said. "It's a sign of more discipline to come," said Brendan Barnicle, analyst at Pacific Crest Securities. "Microsoft is done, for the most part, with experimenting with businesses outside of the software industry."

Shocker: People Realize That Mobile
Carriers Won't Make Money From Music

Shocker: People Realize That Mobile
Carriers Won't Make Money From Music 04/15/2005 04:49 AM
For quite some time, a bunch of folks have been pointing out that the mobile phone operators are being somewhat idiotic in their belief that they they can be music and media moguls. They got this idea in their head once ringtones started to take off, and rather than thinking they might just be a fad, both the music industry and the mobile operators start drooling over how much money they think they're going to make -- when neither of them seem to actually understand the other's business very much. While the theme of the last few months in the mobile world seemed to be unquestioned acceptance that "content is king" it appears the backlash is starting, as even the folks at Business Week are realizing the mobile operators will never make much money by selling music directly. The article points out what everyone always seems to forget. Even for Apple, the clear leader in selling music online, selli ng music is a loss leader. In other words, the carriers would do better to team up with someone (such as Apple) to handle selling music, and they should just be happy with the increased usage. Of course, instead of that, the operators are complaining that iTune s on phones will take revenue away from them. And, of course, this doesn't even touch on issues like network over-capacity and the fact that people don't want different music services on their phones and on their computers. Between the recording industry and the mobile operators, about the only thing you can bet on is that both industries' short term greed, and total lack of understanding of what users want, is likely to screw up any offerings for quite a few years.

Musicians Making Lots Of Money, Money,

Jeremiah writes "Amidst the public ballyhoo about how rampant P2P piracy is costing the music business its very life (gasp! NO!), BMI announced it collected a record level of revenue and royalty payout to its artist members. From their press release: "BMI has reported revenues of $673 million for the 2004 fiscal year, an increase of nearly $43 million, 6.8% over the prior year. Royalties of more than $573 million were distributed to our songwriters, composers and music publishers, an increase of $40 million or 7.5% from the previous year, and the most ever paid by an American PRO." Another interesting tidbit: "During the period 1995-2004, BMI had an average annual revenue growth rate of 9%..." If I read this right, BMI has been reporting solid growth over the last nine years, which makes me question the industry's claims about P2P. Either P2P ate into their growth (not mentioned), they found a way to cope with it (plausible), or it may actually help music sales. Whatever. Reminds me a bit of a spec I did for a life-insurance company's radio ad: Money , Money, Money (mp3 file)."

If you can't convince 'em, sue 'em

If you can't convince 'em, sue 'em 06/23/2004 11:01 AM

A paper by Felix Oberholzer of Harvard Business School and Koleman Strumpf of UNC Chapel Hill shows strong evidence that file-sharing has "statistically indistinguishable from zero" effect on CD sales and the RIAA decides to sue 482 more people for sharing copyright music on peer-to-peer networks. This brings the number of people sued by the RIAA for file-sharing to 3,429. I guess that if you can't convince everyone, you can always try to scare people into submission.

But it looks like the RIAA will have event MORE reasons to sue people. They're trying to "criminalize the act of inducing another to commit a copyright violation."

Geek Conferences: Nothing to Fear but
Fear Itself

Geek Conferences: Nothing to Fear but
Fear Itself 02/16/2004 05:37 AM
Is the O'Reilly Emerging Technologies Conference elitist? This question seems to be stirring up the blogosphere, and causing lots of good people who I read and like to throw verbal bricks at each other. I thought that as someone who is clearly not a member of the blogging elite, I might have a useful perspective to offer. Is the conference elitist? Of course it is - and no, it isn't. Both are true. It is elitist in the sense that it requires interest, knowing that the conference is going to happen, and being able to come up with the large amounts of time and money to attend. This rules out a very large proportion of the world. However, if someone is motivated and willing to rough it, it is possible to attend the conference for a lot less money than the standard cost of the conference and swanky hotel. In my case I found cheap late night flights on Southwest, stayed in a very cheap hostel (though not as cheap as the hacker loft crash pad), and got a free pass to the conference by writing and asking Tim O'Reilly nicely for one -- I saw other free passes being given away via the Wiki. So the money doesn't have to be the huge barrier it seems like at first, but attending does require a bit of luck and or chutzpah, geographical proximity, and being willing to stay in considerably less than stellar accommodations. The conference can also feel elitist because so many of the people who attend know each other. Many of them have long-standing professional, technical and personal ties (and ongoing feuds). If, like me, you are somewhat reticent by nature, you don't have ties to lots of people at the conference, and you don't have any particular product or idea to promote, it can be easy to feel intimidated or like an outsider surrounded by insiders. For instance, one day of the conference I ran into Dan Gillmor, Doc Searls, Micah Sifry and Scott Rosenberg at a cafe next door to the conference. I read 3 out of 4 of them regularly, I respect their work a lot, and I would have enjoyed sitting at their lunch table and listening to them talk. Did they invite me to join them for lunch? Of course not, no more than I would invite a random stranger I saw...

Microsoft Trying To Convince VCs That
Open Source = Fraud

Microsoft Trying To Convince VCs That
Open Source = Fraud 02/19/2004 02:46 AM
Venture capitalist Tim Oren has posted an excerpt from an email sent to a venture capitalist mailing advertising a seminar, put on by Microsoft, about the dangers of open source technology. By itself, that's no surprise, but the language in the email is fairly over the top, claiming that some potential acquiring companies "view open source as being no different than fraud on the books." That's probably true if the "acquiring companies" are Microsoft and SCO. Otherwise, most companies look at it from the reasonable standpoint: does the technology do the job it needs to do? Anyway, does this sort of stuff actually convince any company or any VC that they shouldn't go with open source technology if it does the job? If so, would you really want to invest in or buy such a company so easily swayed by such arguments?

Forget Trojan Horses, Why Not Convince
Suckers To Spam For You? 04/21/2004 06:03 AM
It's no secret that a large percentage of spam that goes out these days is sent via home computers who have been infected with a trojan horse that secretly sends out spam from that machine. There's been a lot of buzz recently about how some company took that idea and used it as the basis for its "business model." Instead of sneaking their software onto peoples machines, they would pay gullible people $1/hour to knowingly send out spam from their machines. Wired News is looking into the company and, while they present themselves as legitimate non-spamming marketers, there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical. Beyond the obvious (what spamming company doesn't claim that they're perfectly legitimate, 100% opt-in email marketers?), there are some other big questions. The company wouldn't allowed Wired News to actually speak to anyone using their service - either a customer to send out spam or someone who had received money for spamming. The article also points out that most people who sign up for the service are very likely to get kicked off their ISP for spamming relatively quickly (though, perhaps not as fast as some would like). Not even mentioned is the fact that this could probably open up anyone who agrees to do this to legal liability for the spam they're sending out, since they're now agreeing to send out the spam - even if they don't know the contents of the messages they send. The whole thing sounds pretty sketchy, though, I'm sure some people will sign up. Whether they ever get any money - or just lose their internet access remains to be seen.

I try to stay off the political bent as tapping that vein would produce a gushing Niagara these days, but McSweeney's Daily Reason to Dispatch Bush is a series of bite-sized factoids and quotes that hasn't seemed to get much attention. Of course, the folks who avidly listen to Ann Coulter aren't going to read it because, well, a lot of them don't read so gud [sic], but for the rest of the reading, thinking public, it's a daily affirmation of why we feel the way we do.

On the role of government. The Houston Chronicle had a s tory (404 now) on then governor Bush's 1999 law giving hospitals the power to remove life support of the terminally ill. The decision hinges on the prognosis and, of course, the patient's ability to pay. The law recently gave power to the Texas Children's Hospital to remove the breathing tube of a 6-month old infant o ver his mother's wishes. What do people who support Bush's intervention in the Schiavo case think about Bush's Futile Care Law?

Today your teacher announced that your school is going to have a science fair and students are responsible for exhibiting their projects. What do you feel? Enthusiastic? Despondent? Dreadful? Fearful? Excited?" This statement opens the Super Science Fair Projects site. Actually, whether student or parent, science fair projects, while great ways to get students actively involved in learning the scientific method and problem solving, can be tough assignments. This site may help you with one of the hardest parts: coming up with an idea. The site does a great job of walking the visitor through the steps needed to plan and implement a project, from Choosing a Topic, the Scientific Method, and writing the Project Report. There are even tips on displaying your project, rehearsing, winning over judges, and what to expect the day of the fair. This is definitely a great tool to tap into when planning a science fair project.[From The NSDL Scout Report for Math, Engineering, and Technology, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2003. http://scout.wisc.edu/]
