04/09/2004 04:03 PM"That's what broadband
technology is. It means we'll open the highways of knowledge -- new
highways of knowledge."
--
President George W. Bush,
March 26, 2004
You'd think he would at least give Al Gore credit for the
metaphor.
Bush's call in the speech for universal broadband by 2007 has gotten
press attention, but not the second half of his sentence:
"We ought to have a universal,
affordable access for broadband technology by the year 2007, and then
we ought to make sure as soon as possible thereafter, consumers have
got plenty of choices when it comes to purchasing the broadband
carrier."
The good news is that Bush acknowledges that only with competition
will
broadband be affordable and a platform for innovation. The bad
news is that he's for monopoly broadband by a date-certain three years
from now, and competitive broadband "as soon as possible." Why
do
I suspect his administration will do more to achieve the first goal
than the second one?

Interactive SMS Billboards
07/23/2004 04:34 AMAdvertising Agency Ogilvy, in a European first, has launched a new
ad campaign for the Ford Fiesta, combining interactive billboards with
SMS.
In
several major cities of Belgium, young people are staring up at a huge
Ford Fiesta
billboard - visually similar to the TV pinball machine commercial
- while texting on their mobile phones.
Each passer-by can try their hand at winning a Ford Fiesta by
sending an SMS with his/her first name to a short code and indicating
the code on the billboard. The billboard then responds to this SMS;
displaying an "encouragment to continue" message adressed to the
person, and sends him/her another SMS with a question. If he or she
answers correctly, the billboard reacts like a winning pinball machine
and he/she is entitled to an "extra ball" meaning he/she will be
included in the draw for a winner. For every incorrect answer sent by
text message, the pinball machine displays a "tilt".
The fiestafun
website allows anyone to check on the progress of the game or find
out where exactly these billboards are located.

Xeni Jardin:
Rough translation from the Spanish language original:
HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuba unfolded two gigantic
billboards on Friday in front of the United States diplomatic
headquarters in the island, with photographs of the tortures in the
Abu Ghraib prison of Iraq and the word "Fascistas" together with a
Nazi swastika.
The images were put up after Cuba demanded that the United States
Interests Section in Cuba take down a Christmas billboard with a
shining ornament that says "75," in allusion to the dissidents
imprisoned by the Cuban government in 2003. The billboards unfolded by
Cuba show Iraqi prisoners bleeding and hooded during torture by
soldiers in Abu Ghraib with a caption that says "Made in Usa" in the
middle of the high-traffic Malecón of Havana.
Three days ago, James Cason, chief of the US Interests Section
in Havana, declared that president Fidel Castro was threatening the
diplomatic office with reprisals by saying that "there would be
consequences" if they did not take down the billboard referring to the
imprisoned dissidents. Reuters observed on Friday morning the work of
unfolding the billboards in front of the North American Special
Interests section

asked to pick one of three doors. Donkeys are behind two of them, and
a new car is behind another. After you choose your door, but before
it's revealed to you, Monty Hall (the emcee) opens one of the doors
you didn't choose and reveals a donkey. He then asks if you'd...

Eclipse TD Lulét Mini Speaker System
Eclipse TD Lulét Mini Speaker System
06/03/2004 08:41 AM
Although
suggested to me as an iPod solution, there's absolutely nothing
keeping you from using the Eclipse TD Lulét speaker systems for
anything from home theater to gaming -- in fact, they're designed to
be easily mountable anywhere, like most other small speakers. If you
do want to use the Lulét system with an iPod or other portable player,
though, the accompanying amplifier will make sure you've got enough
wattage to push either the 2.1 (or the 5.1 system, although using that
with a portable player might be a waste of 3 perfectly good channels).
The 307 Lulét line isn't their only setup, either, if you're looking
for something with a little more punch than mini-system gear.
(Thanks, Tim!)

Sex.com Case Denied Appeal Again
Sex.com Case Denied Appeal Again
03/31/2005 11:13 PMCould it really be that the infamous Sex.com court case is
finally over? We've been
following the
case since 1999, but it really started a decade ago when Stephen
Cohen forged documents to have the domain transferred to him. That
set off quite the legal saga, eventually leading to the domain being
transferred back to its original owner, Gary Kremen, along with a
ruling that Cohen owed Kremen $65 million. That's when things started
to get more bizarre. Cohen high-tailed it to Mexico, and started a
series of
odd
appeals, including one where he claimed that the ruling was
unconstitutional, since it would effectively make him a slave
to Kremen. He also claimed that he trademarked Sex.com in 1979, which
no one seems to buy. The Court of Appeals has now
turned down his latest appeal, and it's likely
his decision to leave the country didn't help matters. In the
meantime, Kremen went on to successfully sue Network Solutions for
handing over the domain name in the first place, so he's made some
cash out of the ordeal. Still, the case might not really be over yet,
as Cohen plans to appeal again to the Supreme Court -- though, it
seems exceedingly unlikely that they'll agree to hear this case.
