A Gateway to disaster?
A Gateway to disaster?09/26/2004 12:51 PM There was a time, once, when I didn’t need a computer. Somehow, a pen,
some paper and a word processor were enough to get my words across
— and if you had asked me what a gigabyte was, I would have
simply walked away, confused.
My, how times have changed. When I was entering college, computers
were just beginning to hit the mainstream, and I can remember using
my friend’s Performa to get those last-minute term papers written. To
be honest, I wasn’t particularly impressed … which is not to say I was
unimpressed either; I was merely a clueless word-processing neophyte
who saw a computer as a logical transition from an electronic
typewriter.
To be honest, the first time I really noticed a computer was when a
friend of mine brought home his brand new Gateway desktop. Between the
cow-spotted box and the bright screen (at least as compared to my
friend’s Performa), it was my experience with Gateway that convinced
me to buy my first computer.
Then, three years later, I bought a Mac, and I never looked back.
Gateway, however, has, and it's not a <A
HREF="http://www.pcmag.com/slideshow/0,2394,l=135602&s=400&a=1356
03,00.asp">pretty sight</A>.
So, what happened. In 1997, Gateway was at the top of the charts, but
by 1998, they had crashed — in more ways than one: Its stock
plummeted, its designs faltered, its creativity suffered, and its
outlook turned oh so bleak.
Now, if the stock drops a dime, that's 2 percent of the company's
worth.
It's unfortunate how these things happen to tech stocks. More than any
other sector, the tech market’s volatility have kept investors at bay
for years, wary of even the slightest fluctuation in earnings or
sales. On a good day, it's enough to drive a CEO to drink; add a
high-priced Google and a bloated Apple to the mix, and there might be
a few job openings in upper management.
Seriously, though, these types of booms and busts are most certainly
cyclical, and every few years a stock comes along that performs better
than the rest, with numbers breaking recent company highs and products
that have got everyone talking.
Kinda like Apple. Kinda like now.
In February 2001, after cutting some 3,000 jobs, icing plans for 60
retail stores and drastically cutting its number of possible PC
configuration, Gateway announced that it was "shifting back to
primarily selling computers, after pursuing a strategy aimed at
selling services and peripherals, so-called 'beyond-the-box' revenue.
Executives said Gateway will focus on selling computers first, instead
of pushing a combination of products from the outset."
Which is to say that Gateway shifted away from a profitable
sub-business to refocus its efforts back on its bread and butter. So
too, with Apple and iPod.
I've written several columns examining Apple and iPod: Some have
explored Apple's shift from manufacturing computers; some have
suggested making iPod its own brand, but throughout it all, the iPod
has carried Apple through supply slumps and sales speed bumps. The
truth is, without iPod, Apple’s stock wouldn’t be anywhere near $40.
Tech stocks have proven that investors cannot live on computers alone.
Of course, if anyone can do it, Apple can. While Gateway still hasn’t
found the formula that made it so popular in the mid 90s, Apple
continues to push ahead, straddling two markets with dexterity, and
(thus far, anyway) succeeding at both.
But it remains to be seen whether the iMac will sell. And after nearly
16 months, the Power Mac doesn't have much more juice than it did upon
its introduction. Whatever happens with the fourth quarter (which ends
Thursday), it seems as though Apple doesn’t have too much to worry
about at the moment.
But eventually, a decision will need to be made — Gateway chose
poorly and has never recovered. Somehow, I think Apple will get this
one right.

200mW Wi-Fi Gateway
200mW Wi-Fi Gateway08/13/2004 05:47 PM MacWireless.com isn't just for Macs: new 200mW base station could be a
neat tool for better coverage: More power doesn't always equate to
more coverage area or range, but it's not a bad way to start. I'll be
curious to put a high-powered Wi-Fi gateway like MacWireless.com's new
$200 unit against Belkin's upcoming MIMO-based device that will cost
about $180. MacWireless.com is limited to 11 Mbps (802.11b speed) for
200mW performance, while Belkin's unit will operate at a raw
throughput rate of 108 Mbps for its proprietary mode and 54 Mbps for
its compatible 802.11g mode. MacWireless.com's device doesn't support
PPPoE for DSL/cable login, and it's got just a single Ethernet port,
which makes it difficult to use on mixed wired/wireless networks that
don't use a static subnetted range of IP addresses....

I blogged earlier about the sale of 25%
of the stock of Craigslist to eBay. Out of context, some people might
not understand why this requires explaining or someone with a casual
understanding might think Craig sold out. Here's some more context.
(And no, Craig has not "sold out".)
Craig is a very unique individual and this interview and his site are a testament to
that. In March, on the way to SXSW, I was with a group which had an
airline nightmare at SFO. Craig negotiated with the extremely
unhelpful Mesa Airlines for the whole group of us and was amazingly
effective. I was moved by how he insisted that we were a group and was
not willing to settle for anything that left anyone
behind.

Craig of Craigslist interview
Wired Magazine ran an interview this month with Craig Newmark, the
founder of Craigslist and an all-round mensch:
Google's touchy-feely corporate mantra is "Don't be evil."
What's yours?
Give people a break.
A break from what?
A break from how difficult our lives are. It's like, if you're
walking out of your apartment building and somebody is coming the
other way with an armful of groceries, you hold the door. It feels
good - it's the neighborly thing to do. And our species survives by
cooperating.
What poses the major threat to that survival?
Kleptocrats and sociopathic organizations that have the almighty
dollar as their only goal.

tricky business and one that I really didn't want to spent a lot of

figured that was a good place...
What eBay Could Learn From Craigslist
What eBay Could Learn From Craigslist06/05/2005 10:45 PM These days, triple-digit annual growth rates are rare among major Web
sites. Meet that rarity: Craigslist.
In 1995, he was sending his
friends in San Francisco e-mail messages with lists of local events.
With their encouragement, this became Craig's List, which has now
expanded to Boston, Seattle, New York and 19 other regions. Nine years
later, Craig's List now gets 500 million page views and 4 million
unique visitors every month. The staff numbers 14, and the site runs
on about 30 Linux boxes. Craig says his success is based on "a culture
of trust." When I asked about his business model, he just laughed.
A self-described nerd, Craig has become somewhat of an
international celebrity. He has been asked by San Francisco
mayor-elect Gavin Newsom to join the mayor's transition team. "In San
Francisco City, people have given up because they seem to feel that
their leadership has told them that it doesn't matter if they're doing
a good job. It doesn't matter that much if they get things done."
Craig's mission -- should he decide to accept it -- is to recommend
how the use of computer systems and the Internet can better serve the
public. "So far, it looks pretty good," he says.
And coming soon to a theatre near you -- no kidding -- "24 Hours on
Craig's List." That's right -- the movie! Look for it to premiere at
South by Southwest or the San Francisco International Film Festival.

In NYC, when you don't have a car and you need to move stuff that
won't fit in a taxi and isn't enough that you need an entire huge
moving van, you call a "man with a van".** I recently used the
services of a guy named Paul, recommended by a friend of a friend.
After packing the back of his truck with my things, we set off for our
destination, chatting along the way. He asked me how I'd found him and
we eventually got to talking about craigslist.
Paul told me that these days, he got most of his jobs from CL and
only one or two a week from personal referrals. I found that
surprising and when I pressed him further, he told me that because of
CL, he's been able to do pursue moving (which he really likes doing)
as a full-time career. I can't remember the exact quote, but Paul said
something to the effect that he can't believe he's getting away with
starting a full-time business on CL without it costing him a single
dime.
I'd never really thought about it before, but in some ways, CL
helps lots of people build businesses cheaper and more effectively
than more "robust", complex, and expensive enterprise software
solutions. Movers are
just one example. CL can help you find employees
for your business. If you've got a van, you can pick up free furniture and
electronics around the city, fix or refurbish, and sell it. You
can start a business doing computer
troubleshooting, piano lessons, buying
and fixing up old motorcycles, or escort and sensual massage services. And if you need
something done for your business but don't have the money to pay for
it, you can always barter goods or services
in exchange. These are just the obvious examples. Does anyone know of
anyone using craigslist in more creative ways to make a living or
other examples of people succeeding in business using CL?
** Don't know how this evolved, but folks in the "man with a van"
profession like to rhyme the names of their businesses. My guy was
"Call Paul to Haul", but you will also probably find "Chuck/Buck with
a Truck", "Cory with a Lorry", "Schmuck with a Truck", "Call Jack to
Pack", and so on. (Oh, I'd recommend using Paul if you need a man with
a van...contact me
if you'd like his info.)

eBay Buys One Quarter Of Craigslist
eBay Buys One Quarter Of Craigslist08/13/2004 12:43 PM We had just been mentioning the ridiculous notion that Craigsl
ist might want to go public, and suddenly... they've
sold one-quarter of the company to eBay. That was fairly
unexpected, because from everything that had been said, they didn't
need much in the form of additional working capital. The article
discussing the deal points out that both companies are built up around
loyal communities, but I'm not sure the two communities are all that
similar (even when they overlap). In fact, it's not surprising that
some folks on Craigslist seem unhappy with the deal (though others
think it's wonderful). Craig, himself, has an interesting
explanation of the deal, which suggests they didn't really need
the working capital, but through a set of somewhat random events, the
offer came about and made sense. Should be interesting to see what
comes next.
