The true cost of software ownership







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.

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 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.

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.

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?

Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail


Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail 05/26/2004 01:35 PM
Last month there was a lot of talk about the somewhat clueless move by a California politician to create a law that would ban Google's Gmail offering, despite the fact that it was completely optional to use. It appears that enough people (probably including those at Google itself) sat down with State Senator Liz Figueroa to explain how email works, and have convinced her to tone down the bill so that it now allows Gmail. That's right, the anti-Gmail bill now has loopholes that specifically allow Gmail. In other words, Senator Figueroa seems to have realized just how pointless the bill was in the first place and is trying to save face by adjusting it so that it still seems to have a purpose: banning a bunch of things that no one was doing, like having humans read the content of your emails to put in advertising.

Anyone for Gmail? 06/14/2004 06:10 PM

So anyway, I signed up for Gmail a while back and basically I don't really use it even though it's pretty well assembled and has some nice features and now I've been given three invitations but everyone who I know who wants an account already has one. I imagine the big craze for offering people enormous gifts and proposing amorous liasons in exchange for One Gigabyte of Full-On E-mail Pleasure has passed, but if you can think of a reason why I should invite you rather than just making three new accounts with funny names, then post a comment below or chuck me an e-mail to my fairly guessable normal e-mail address (hint: it starts tom@) and I'll see what I can do...

Getting your gmail on


Getting your gmail on 06/17/2004 07:39 PM

Is there any way to specify your default email app as a website in a Windows XP system? Currently, my office workstation has an ancient copy of Eudora I haven't used in years, but whenever I need to email someone from my PC (I do all my email on a powerbook), I have to copy/paste addresses by hand and use my mac or use Gmail.

It seems like there should be a way to tell firefox my default email app isn't an app, but is instead gmail.google.com. Anyone that knows of a way can have an invite to gmail. Or anyone that just wants an invite can also email me and we can have this problem together. Just ping me and I'll invite you in.

EFF on Gmail


EFF on Gmail 04/10/2004 03:46 AM
On EFF's Deep Links blog, some preliminary analysis of Google's Gmail terms-of-service:
"People are entitled to know what kind of information Google will pull from email, whether or not it logs this information, and for how long," said EFF's Kevin Bankston. "Can your Gmail address or any other personal identifier be linked to those logs, or to your Google search history?"

"Gmail's privacy policy states that 'Google welcomes feedback on this document and policy as the Gmail service is currently in an early testing stage.' While that's a nice sentiment, we can't give meaningful feedback until we have all the facts."

The remedy to the situation is obvious: Google needs to let us all know precisely what the privacy/convenience trade-off is for using Gmail, and soon.

The link is to a page that says: Since we launched Gmail in April 2004, we've been focused on improving the service, relying on our users to spread the word and invite others to try it out. The response has been great, and now we're ready for some more Gmail users. [...] As we make room for more Gmail users, we want to first extend invitations to Google users. We're still working to make Gmail better, so for now, we're just inviting a small number at random. Looks like that's you! We're really excited to share Gmail with you and we hope you like it....
