Reuters - Rising interest rates have yet to cool white-hot real estate prices. Perhaps that's why the concept of virtual home ownership has captured the imagination of a growing number of online gamers, who are plunking down real cash for their own slice of the digital frontier.

Hogzilla is real. And now, he's real
dead.
03/22/2005 05:00 PM
Xeni Jardin: A team of National Geographic experts with nothing better to do confirmed the existence of Georgia's monster hog, "Hogzilla."
They also noted the super swine didn't quite live up to the 1,000-pound, 12-foot hype generated when Hogzilla was caught on a farm last summer and photographed hanging from a backhoe. Donning biohazard suits to exhume the behemoth's smelly remains, the experts estimated Hogzilla was probably only 7 1/2 to 8 feet long, and weighed about 800 pounds. The confirmation came in a documentary aired Sunday night on the National Geographic Channel; it will be rebroadcast Wednesday and Saturday.

The real war


The real war 07/09/2004 01:45 PM
Funny how it goes: John Kerry seizes the spotlight by announcing his running mate, and the Bush administration trots out Tom Ridge to warn us of more terror attacks. This time, the warning comes with more detail: Osama bin Laden himself, it seems, is plotting another attack on the U.S. But President Bush may find that this timely reminder of the original, genuine global terrorist threat backfires. Because every time we hear the name Osama, we should remember whose policies have left the al-Qaida leader at large.

Over the past year, I've made a point of repeatedly referring to the U.S. invasion of Iraq as a strategic mistake. Put aside issues of morality, of justification for the war, of possible deception by U.S. leaders; just consider the issue on the global chessboard for a moment. The next time you hear someone ask whether the U.S. is safer or not as a result of the Bush administration's war on Saddam Hussein, you can definitively answer "no." The evidence can be found in today's report in the New York Times that bin Laden and company intend to attack the U.S. this year in a plot directed from their hideouts on the Afghan/Pakistani border.

This should hardly come as a surprise. These, after all, are the people who attacked the U.S. on 9/11. In the wake of that attack, the U.S. invaded Afghanistan and deposed the Taliban regime that harbored our enemies. But we never finished the job; we left bin Laden free, we left Mullah Omar free, we let Afghanistan drift back into a state of opium-growing, warlord-dominated semi-anarchy. We chose to invade Iraq instead.

We now know a lot more about all the blindered, blinkered reasons that led the Bush administration to this disastrous mistake. What I've never understood, and still don't understand, is why the rest of the U.S. government, and to some extent the U.S. media, have not furiously and persistently asked the obvious, and still hanging, question: Why didn't we go full-tilt after bin Laden in spring of 2002?

Would it have caused too many casualties? That didn't seem to be a deterrent factor when it came to invading Iraq. Hundreds of American soldiers have died, and are still dying, in Iraq; such a tragedy might be more justifiable if we felt, as we cannot now, that the sacrifices had a direct connection to the 9/11 attacks -- and to preventing their sequel.

Was it out of deference to our shaky alliance with Pakistan? But what good is that alliance if it does not help us capture our most lethal enemies?

I understand that the mountainous border zone between Afghanistan and Pakistan is treacherous terrain. It's historically isolated. Its tribal inhabitants are suspicious of foreigners. But we didn't get to choose our opponents; 9/11 chose them for us. What if we had invested some portion of the blood and treasure squandered on the Iraqi adventure on a full-bore campaign to "smoke out" bin Laden and rebuild Afghanistan? How would the "War on Terror" look different today? And would we still be facing these ominous warnings of al-Qaida attacks?

I am not one for conspiracy theories. But when we can't answer these questions, we're left to less savory speculations. What is actually happening between the Bush administration and the Pakistani government? (We've all now seen the reports that the Bush administration is asking Pakistan to round up "high value targets" during the week of the Democratic convention.) Why has finding bin Laden been so impossible? What could possibly be higher-priority for the U.S. than apprehending those responsible for 9/11?

The supposed "grownups" in the Bush Administration have neither answered these questions nor taken responsibility for their mistakes. Our one chance of ever getting the full story is to vote them out and give their replacements a chance to investigate.

"OQO CeBitOQO has selected a lucky group of 40 major potential corporate customers to test drive the OQO Model 01. They are pretty confident — and we can hardly disagree — that 'OQO will sell every unit it can make during the first year or two.'

The Model 01 — which measures 4.9 inches x 3.4 inches x 0.9 inches — will, supposedly, be available in the fall. It will have a 1GHz CPU, 20GB hard drive, 256MB RAM, Windows XP, 800x480 Wide-VGA 5-inch screen, 802.11b wireless, Bluetooth, FireWire (1394), USB 1.1 and a digital pen." [Engadget]

What next for Real?


What next for Real? 04/20/2004 07:24 PM

LAS VEGAS--RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser on Tuesday brushed off a recent rebuff from Apple Computer and called on Hollywood to keep new digital technologies open for all to use.

Glaser Incompatible piracy prevention tools in new digital entertainment services such as Apple's iTunes Music Store and its iPod portable music player threaten to turn off consumers, he said.

"It's kind of a Soviet model," said Glaser, referring to Apple's closed environment in a remark that drew laugher from the audience at the annual National Association of Broadcasters conference here. "Taking secure music off the PC is a morass of incompatibility. This is not going to fly in the mainstream market."

RealNetworks has sought to position itself as a technology neutral Switzerland amid an array of competing and incompatible formats from Apple, Microsoft and others. RealNetworks' Helix multimedia software supports all major formats, but it hasn't won much support for its own technology among device makers.

The company had approached Apple CEO Steve Jobs with a proposal to create a technical alliance that would allow customers of RealNetworks' music service to play songs on the iPod, to no avail. That could now force RealNetworks into a deeper relationship with archenemy Microsoft, which has won support for its technology on dozens of players and plans a major upgrade later this summer.

Musical chairs

Glaser also advised Hollywood to avoid being too cautious in licensing its movies to Internet services, a mistake that could lead to a repeat of the music industry's run-in with online piracy at the hands of Napster and other peer-to-peer applications. Although legal film-download services are available today, they are hampered by limitations, including strict viewing rules for downloaded files, weak access to the latest films, and skimpy film libraries online.

Still, Hollywood has been reluctant to license movies online because of the failings of digital rights management technology to protect their content from piracy, according to many industry executives. Also, consumers are often unwilling to watch feature films on a PC.

Glaser said that the future of new media and advertising is personalization.

As a result, he played up a new partnership with Google, the No. 1 search engine on the Internet. Under the agreement, RealNetworks' RealPlayer 10, the company's latest audio and video playback service, will bundle in Google's search toolbar.

Glaser highlighted the growth and success of paid search, or contextual ads, which accompany Google search results. The market has taken off because sponsored search listings are highly targeted and personalized to what Web surfers are looking for, he said.

Glaser pointed to research that showed that in 2004, ad sales from paid search will account for about 30 percent of the $8 billion online advertising market. The Google-Real partnership will likely help RealNetworks capture some of those ad dollars.

[CNET News.com]

As much as I've had bad past experiences with Glaser and as much as I think Real is toast - I completely agree with the guy.

Now the questions is: "what happens next?"

Real vs Apple


Real vs Apple 08/18/2004 08:29 AM
RealNetworks have upped the stakes in the growing war between itself and Apple. The launch of the Freedom of Music Choice website (complete with a logo featuring the iPod as a padlock) pulls no punches, and directly attacks Apple’s refusal to open up it’s FairPlay DRM used on the iPod.
It’s not enough to denounce crime and lock up criminals, say the social scientists. We must consider the root causes of crime. Which brings us to Apple Computer Inc., which is encouraging people to steal digital music files, and undermining its own success to boot.
This vitriol follows the trading of blows last week over Real’s Harmony technology — a crude hack which allows songs purchased from the Real Music Store to be played on an iPod. Apple’s response was predictably angry and swift :
We strongly caution Real and their customers that when we update our iPod software from time to time it is highly likely that Real’s Harmony technology will cease to work with current and future iPods.
It seems obvious to me that Real have lost considerable market share since the success of iTunes Music Store and the iPod, and are playing their last card — portraying itself as the ‘voice of the public’ and ‘champion of free choice’. You could understand this if were actually true — but it’s 100% PR bullshit, and only serves to make them look increasingly desperate. The fact is Apple make far superior software and offer a far superior experience to Real. That is why people are choosing Apple over Real, no other reason. More reading :

The Real Halley 11/03/2003 11:10 AM
Halley is wondering if maybe online relationships are worse than mere shadows of real world ones. Maybe online we paint a false but convincing picture of who we think we are or who we'd like to be. (Halley puts it a lot better than this.) I guess I'd agree, except that I think the same is true of the full spectrum of human relationships. We aren't simple objects defined in their apartness. We are our relationships. We present ourselves and comport ourselves with a sense of how we look to others. We are social selves and Rorty describes it well,...

IPv6 Gets Real


IPv6 Gets Real 07/21/2004 10:47 AM

Looks like IPv6 is going from being that funny option in the network stack that nobody uses to being a real live protocol. Reuters has the story.

Vinton Cerf of the Internet Corp. for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) said the next-generation protocol, IPv6, had been added to its root server systems, making it possible for every person or device to have an Internet protocol address.
[...]
"This is a big, big step," Cerf said, speaking on sidelines of ICANN's annual conference held in the Malaysian capital.
[...]
Cerf said about two-thirds of the 4.3 billion Internet addresses currently available were used up, adding that IPv6 could magnify capacity by some "25,000 trillion trillion times".

From reading ICANN's pre ss release, it looks like they're starting with the .kr (Korea) and .jp (Japan) TLD's. I imagine it will be a while before they get confident enough to roll it out for .com, .net, and .org.
