Grok Headline matches for How To Discover Value In Tech
Forensic discover with MACtimes
Forensic discover with MACtimes01/04/2005 04:33 AM At times knowing when something happened is more valuable than knowing
what took place. There are two ways to get time data: by observing
activity directly and by observing that activity's secondary effects
on its environment. In this article, we focus on the latter.
Micorosft, AOL Discover That The Internet Isn't TV
Micorosft, AOL Discover That The Internet Isn't TV04/11/2005 11:42 PM While some in the media and tech worlds are trying to turn
the internet into television so they'd have more control, it
appears that Microsoft and AOL are finally realizing that the two act
quite differently. While both companies should have realized this
years ago, it only cost them a few million dollars each to realize
that there's absolutely no
benefit to signing deals with Major League Baseball to allow MLB
content to be streamed on their sites. Apparently both have cut short
multi-million deals with MLB Online after realizing that most people
simply went straight to the mlb.com site anyway, and there was almost
no benefit at all to paying millions of dollars to have the identical
content hosted within their own gardens since surfers don't
distinguish. They know they can go wherever they want online, so why
would they look for MLB content on AOL or MSN rather than just going
straight to MLB? Apparently ESPN (owned by Disney) hasn't realized
this, because they're about to make the same mistake and shell out
millions to MLB for the privilege of mirroring the same content.
Meanwhile, AOL is recognizing that their money and effort is better
spent building up baseball fantasy league offerings where users
actually participate, communicate and interact with each other (what
the internet is good for!). Of course, what's unclear is whether or
not the folks at MLB.com (the same people who said they owned
all data and facts associated with MLB games) realize this,
because if this sort of cash is part of their expected revenues going
forward, someone may want to inform their poten
tial investors of trouble ahead.

Warez spammers discover Linux08/12/2004 09:25 AM We Linux users have probably gotten a collective total of at least 32
trillion pieces of spam email trying to sell us Windows warez. But
until now, we were always frozen out of these bargains. Unless we ran
CrossOver Office, what did we need with a pirated copy of Photoshop or
Microsoft Office? (Not only that, most of us use free, open source
alternatives anyway.) But now we have arrived. There is finally enough
commercial software for Linux that the pirates and warez spammers want
our business, too.
Scientists Claim to Discover New Fish (AP)06/17/2004 10:23 PM AP - Brazilian scientists claimed to have found a new fish species
believed to have lurked deep in the south Atlantic Ocean for over 150
million years. The fish, of the Chimaera genus, is about 12-16 inches
long and is found at depths of 1,300 to 2,000 feet, scientists said
Thursday.

CEOs Sort Of Discover Ego Surfing
CEOs Sort Of Discover Ego Surfing12/28/2004 05:52 AM Do CEOs of major companies sit down at their computer, call up Google
and do a little ego surfing? Of course they do... but they mostly
seem unwilling to tell USA Today about it (probably because they
decided to call it the especially corny "CEgO surfing"), meaning that
USA Today had to do it for them. Basically, they
went around and looked up the names of various CEOs to see what they
would see, if they did do the searches themselves. There is, of
course, a mixture of good and bad -- but the article recommends that
CEOs spend a bit of time every once in a while to check out what their
names reveal. The article notes that Ford's CEO refuses to ego surf,
claiming it's "too depressing," which makes you wonder how he would
know that... unless he ego surfed.

Roomba Discover vs Sharper Image eVac08/10/2004 10:18 AM Everyday Robots has posted a comparison
of the Roomba

Image eVac robot vacuum cleaners. It's
primarily a consumer-oriented review on points such as suction power
and
carpet types rather than more interesting things like hackability. But
if you're thinking about buying a robot vacuum for its intended
purpose,
this could be a helpful review.

There are
so many music players flooding in from Asia it's hard to keep track of
them all - especially the flash players - but there are occasional
stand-outs, like the Mpeye TS-400, which if it weren't shot with such
a happy, colorful background would remind me of some sort of Klingon
device. Sizes up to 1GB will be available, as well as the almost de
rigueur color screen.
Now if we could only sharpen this to be fit for battle.

Using Data Mining to Discover Web-Based Scholarly Research Works
Using Data Mining to Discover Web-Based Scholarly Research Works12/22/2004 01:18 AM Bibliomining for Automated Collection Development in a Digital
Library Setting: Using Data Mining to Discover Web-Based Scholarly
Research Works by Dr. Scott Nicholson http://dlist.sir

Abstract: This research creates an
intelligent agent for automated collection development in a digital
library setting. It uses a predictive model based on facets of each
Web page to select scholarly works. The criteria came from the
academic library selection literature, and a Delphi study was used to
refine the list to 41 criteria. A Perl program was designed to analyze
a Web page for each criterion and applied to a large collection of
scholarly and non-scholarly Web pages. Bibliomining, or data mining
for libraries, was then used to create different classification
models. Four techniques were used: logistic regression, non-parametric
discriminant analysis, classification trees, and neural networks.
Accuracy and return were used to judge the effectiveness of each model
on test datasets. In addition, a set of problematic pages that were
difficult to classify because of their similarity to scholarly
research was gathered and classified using the models. The resulting
models could be used in the selection process to automatically create
a digital library of Web-based scholarly research works. In addition,
the technique can be extended to create a digital library of any type
of structured electronic information. This has been added to Data Mining Resources
