I-P-Ow! (Forbes.com)
I-P-Ow! (Forbes.com)
07/29/2004 06:30 PMForbes.com - Kenneth Denman, chief executive of networking services
provider Ipass, decided to pull the trigger last year and take his
company public. Ipass had had five successive profitable quarters, but
customers were balking at buying products from a small, privately held
tech company with a Silicon Valley address. And who turns down a check
for $98 million?

07/29/2004 06:30 PMForbes.com - Microsoft executive Martin Taylor's schedule is packed
with meetings like the one in June when he met with representatives
from French drugmaker Aventis in his Redmond, Wash. office. Aventis
has tied together groups of computers running not Microsoft's
operating system but the freely available Linux. These
high-performance clusters can analyze proteins at blazing speeds.
"That's great for Linux," Taylor said cheerily, at the time.

In the Chips (Forbes.com)
05/06/2004 06:53 PMForbes.com - Electronics manufacturers scooped up 90 billion chips
last year, says Brian Matas, an analyst with IC Insights of
Scottsdale, Ariz. We have, indeed, arrived at the era of ubiquitous
computing: Processors and memory are in just about every mobile phone,
television, copier, stereo, fax, camera and burglar alarm. People who
don't have such appliances will get them; people who have them will
want upgrades. Matas predicts world chip output of 142 billion in
2008. ...
Forbes in Trouble?
Forbes in Trouble?
03/28/2005 11:52 PMIβve never liked
Forbes magazine that much; their
general worshipfulness about business seems both less useful and less
entertaining than some of the other magazines. Recently, someone who
claims to be the producer for the βForbes Radioβ channel on
American Airlines is spamming me several times a month, offering a
three-minute puff piece for $4,995, a special discount from $11,990
for anyone lame enough to answer spam. Would Forbes be lending its
name to this sort of pathetic silliness if it werenβt hurting?

(keyboard, video, monitor) devices, which allow technicians to run
multiple servers using a single computer terminal. Avocent has outsize
gross margins (58%) on this stuff. In the first half sales rose 23% to
$174 million, though it lost $5 million due to an
acquisitions-related charge. The stock's multiple: 73.

Informer (Forbes.com)
07/29/2004 06:30 PMForbes.com - Forbes 400 member Steve Jobs garnered nice publicity for
his Apple Computer last month by calling and congratulating a Kansas
college student for downloading the 100 millionth song from the iTunes
Music Store. Left unsaid: Apple had predicted that milestone would
come much earlier, on the product's one-year anniversary in April, but
found itself 30% short. One reason: disappointing results for a
promotion rolled out amid much fanfare in Super Bowl TV ads. Apple,
offering free-to-the-public downloads using codes written on Pepsi
bottle caps, expected 100 million hits right there. ...

at Sabre Holdings, which runs the world's largest airfare and
ticketing network, Murphy has spent millions of dollars on database
and other software from companies like Oracle. But last year, when
Sabre was building a new computer system for online shoppers, Murphy
took a flyer on a database program from a little-known company in
Sweden that charges only $495 per server computer, versus a
$160,000 list price for Oracle. Guess what? The Swedish stuff
works great. ...

04/22/2004 09:23 PMForbes.com - When John Zeglis took over AT&T Wireless
(NYSE:AWE - News) in 1999, it was the country's premier cell phone
company. Its record-setting public offering raised $10.6 billion.
Four years later the company was so battered that in February it
became a meal for Cingular, a competitor that didn't even exist back
then.

04/22/2004 09:23 PMForbes.com - Shocked. That's how the giant California Public
Employees' Retirement System pension fund sounded last month in
opposing renomination of some directors at 2,700 public companies.
Among the sinners it wants out: Warren Buffett at Coca-Cola, for
serving on a committee that let the firm's auditors also handle tax
work; Steve Jobs, the savior of Apple Computer, because his board
hasn't implemented an options accounting proposal; and Citigroup Chief
Executive Charles Prince because, horrors, his wife works at a law
firm Citi uses.

seems like every other person is gabbing on a cell phone. That's not
the case in Tokyo, though cell phones are far more prevalent. In Japan
people don't talk on their mobiles so much as stare into them, surfing
the Internet with a mobile link seven times as fast as dial-up access.

09/02/2004 05:58 PMForbes.com - Like Network Appliance, many top tech firms are snapping
up Linux programmers, hoping to influence the way the operating system
evolves. The trick is to hire programmers closest to Linux creator
Linus Torvalds. Torvalds oversees Linux development, but he delegates
pieces of the system to the 25 or so code maintainers,like Trond
Myklebust at NetApp.Maintainers in turn break their projects into
smaller pieces, overseen by submaintainers.

05/24/2004 05:24 PMForbes.com - How is it that for eight months a team of up to a dozen
IBM consultants has been toiling in the data centers and computer
rooms of the Munich city government--free of charge? Having goaded
Munich into embracing open-source software, IBM is helping it plan a
migration of 14,000 computers off Microsoft Windows and onto the
operating system known as Linux. Never mind that IBM doesn't sell
Linux, which is distributed free. And never mind that Munich officials
say they're not committed to buying IBM hardware or consulting
services, despite all IBM's free help.

06/03/2004 06:53 PMForbes.com - They say you can't pick your family. A small systems
management software company called Altiris has learned that all too
well. The Lindon, Utah company was created and financed a couple of
years ago by a tech incubator called Canopy Group. Canopy is also
behind the better-known--but much-despised (and unprofitable)--SCO
Group. That software firm is suing IBM for $50 billion over Linux
copyrights, which has angered ardent fans of the free operating
system.
Make It Up With Volume (Forbes.com)
Make It Up With Volume (Forbes.com)
08/20/2004 10:48 AMForbes.com - The latest craze in software: giving stuff away. BEA
Systems, Computer Associates and IBM all recently started releasing
the source code, or underlying instructions, for some programs, which
amounts to distributing those products free. Even the loosest
definition of incentive rebates would probably stop short of 100%
discounts, but then the economics of software are peculiar (see story,
p. 161). The giveaways were celebrated, especially by the noisy
"open-source" movement, which wants all software distributed this way.
(They're not kidding.)
Near-Perfect Pitch (Forbes.com)
Near-Perfect Pitch (Forbes.com)
06/30/2004 12:35 PMForbes.com - Victor Grillo Jr. has been selling gadgets on television
for 15 years, though you probably couldn't pick him out of a lineup.
If you watch late-night TV you certainly know the products he's
introduced, including the Ginsu 2000 knife (20 million units sold,
says the 38-year-old Bostonian), the Buttoneer, Liquid Leather and
Triple Edge Wiper Blades. He also claims to have unveiled the first
national prepaid cell phones. Grillo has been content to stay behind
the camera, buying and tracking media, producing TV commercials and
organizing fulfillment operations. "Too fat," he says. ...

The Song Remains the Same (Forbes.com)
08/19/2004 06:28 PMForbes.com - In an August memo typed from his hospital bed, Steve
Jobs--Apple's chief executive, patriarch and media impresario--let his
employees know he would be out for a month to recover from surgery to
remove a rare form of pancreatic cancer. Patients with this type of
cancer, called an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor, have a 90% survival
rate, especially if treated early. Apple says Jobs is due back in
September.

08/19/2004 06:28 PMForbes.com - Not long ago most corporate computer managers viewed
open-source programs like MySQL as toys fit only for hobbyists. But
then Linux, an open-source operating system, became a smash hit in
corporate sites. Now the folks who embraced Linux are snapping up
other bargain programs such as Apache, which serves up Web pages, the
MySQL database and scripting languages like PHP, Perl and Python,
which are used to create Web pages. So many companies use the
combination of Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP (or Perl or Python) that
they're described with the acronym LAMP.

global equivalent of a speeding ticket. In December Sun Microsystems
paid $291,000 to settle federal charges that it shipped computer
equipment that had military applications to Egypt and China. Later
that month Honeywell paid $36,000 in fines for selling a
restricted chemical in Mexico. In February Morton International paid
$647,500 as penance for shipping protected chemicals to Singapore
and Taiwan.
