During the Simpsons panel at San Diego's Comic Con International, executive producer and longtime Simpsons contributor Al Jean announced the news that many fans have been waiting for: "There will be a movie," putting enough "English" on the word "will" to leave no doubt among the faithful that they will be able to see the yellow-hued denizens of Springfield on the big screen. Jean did not provide a release date, saying only that the show's producers were taking the time to get it right.

yahoo goes after google (finally)

yahoo goes after google (finally) 01/06/2004 09:14 AM

Well, well. Finally, a year after purchasi ng Inktomi, and six months after buying Overture it seems that Yahoo has finally digested both acquisitions and is ready to move on from using Google for its searches and begin growing on its own in the area. The Wall Street Journal reports today (subscription required) that Yahoo is now widely expected to dump Google "within a few months". Quote:

Some marketing firms, which help advertisers manage their online campaigns for search-related ads, say they have been told Yahoo will switch from Google to its own technology as early as the first quarter.

Now, I suppose we all expected that to happen at some point (I for one am surprised it didn't happen sooner) but there's more meat to it, including mentions of Yahoo preparing to leverage its various web properties in making search a more personalized affair. Quote:

Yahoo isn't discussing many of its search plans in detail. But some steps toward independence can already be seen on the shopping section of Yahoo's site, which is now using Inktomi's technology. Type in "digital camera," for example, and the site shows pictures of specific cameras along with their prices, flanked by "shopping tools" that allow users to quickly call up price comparisons, fuller specifications and user reviews. By contrast, the same search on Yahoo's front page, which still uses Google's technology, returns a familiar text-based list of links, starting with those sponsored by retailers and followed by other camera-related sites ranked by popularity.

In the future, Yahoo officials say, searches could become much more personalized. They could be tailored to return results that reflect users' past Web-surfing behavior, for example, or preferences or interests they list in a profile.

With Google now expected to go public sometime before mid-year, things are surely going to get interesting in the search space. AOL might have to do something too to keep up with the other portals (ie., MSN and Yahoo), especially as dial-up erodes as a market advantage over time. AOL-Google anyone?

The only real surprise here is that it took Yahoo! this long to figure out they need to increase the amount of storage they offered their webmail users following Google's 1 gig Gmail announcement over a month ago. They're now offering 100 megs for free, and paid users get "virtually unlimited storage" - but no details are given on just how "virtual" those non-limits are. Either way, they're going to have a tough time keeping up with Gmail.

Excellent! When I heard about this feature several weeks ago, I knew right away that it'd be really useful. If you want to find movie showtimes in San Jose, just head over to yahoo.com or search.yahoo.com and plug in showtimes san jose. The first results you should see are links for movie theaters as well as times for popular movies. If I still lived in Ohio, I'd have used showtimes toledo. Sadly, showtimes findlay and showtimes bowling green don't work....

B-school "hacking" incident finally
fades from the news

B-school "hacking" incident finally
fades from the news 04/14/2005 10:13 PM

No reporters have called in the last couple of weeks to ask about the Harvard Business School "hacking" incident, in which applicants who edited URLs could discover whether or not they'd been admitted.  I had a tough time understanding why the story had such long legs when, after all, quite a few Web sites over the past 15 years have had similar vulnerabilities.  What was unusual about the business schools is that they blamed their Web site users.  Every other publisher has secretly spanked its programmers, patched the hole, and tried to pretend that it never happened.  The B-schools, however, somehow came up with the innovative idea of blaming everything on the cut-and-pasters out there in the wider world rather than on the dazed-by-donuts coders who couldn't get the authorizations right for various pages.  That's what made the story different and what attracted so much press.

[This was not actually the first time that HBS had trouble with the world of commercial junkware.  They outsourced their placement office interview scheduling a few years back and the system managed to screw up students desperate for jobs in a down economy.  The student newspaper ran a cartoon lampooning the administrators responsible and the deans decided to fix the problem by threatening to expel the editor of the newspaper for violating Harvard's speech code (see http://ww w.thefire.org/index.php/article/4909.html).]

Any Upcoming Robot Movie News?

Any Upcoming Robot Movie News? 12/29/2003 11:53 PM
Tonight we went and saw Elf. The kids loved it, but there wasn't any Jesus came as a baby to bring Salvation message in it *cough*the real meaning of Christmas*cough* so I didn't care for the movie as much as they did. Well anyway, while on the way out of the theatre I saw a poster for the new IRobot movie. I know that this isn't earthshattering news, but hey, the IRobot movie now has its own website according to the poster. Actually, the website has probably been around a while but, well, I finally just noticed it, so I thought I'd share. Looking at the website, I wonder if they're trying to do some sor of weird before the movie stuff like the AI movie did? Like what does it really mean when they say, "What are you going to do with yours?" Also, In other movie news, now that Arnold Swartzenegger is now gov of CA anyone want to take a guess as to whether the remake of WestWorld is still a go? I'm guessing probably not but one can still have some elf holiday spirit hope, can't they?

According to Intelliseek, Yahoo News was the most cited news source on blogs in 2004. Congrats to the Yahoo News team! I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that Yahoo News is very blog and aggregator friendly? They've been pumping out RSS feeds and allowing you to subscribe to a news search as RSS for a while now. I think there's a connection. I can't wait to see even more of Yahoo becoming blog and RSS...

Chinese Movie Industry Recognizes Movie
Watching Is A Social Experience

Chinese Movie Industry Recognizes Movie
Watching Is A Social Experience 03/22/2005 05:03 PM
Yesterday we noted that the MPAA and movie theater owners were whini ng about how much people coming in an taping movies was hurting their business. The obvious response, we pointed out, is to recognize that going to the movies is a social experience. It's not just about the content (though, that is important), but the overall experience. If they improved that, then people would want to go -- even if they could score the same movie off the internet or a cheap DVD bought off the street. While the folks in Hollywood refuse to entertain this idea, someone (anonymously) in the comments to that story pointed to an article in China noting that this is exactly what Chinese movie theaters have done. After years of declining attendance, they finally shaped up and made going to the movies cool again. They improved the overall experience, putting in better equipment and more comfortable seats. They improved the sound and the lighting as well. It sounds like they also made some theaters to be more like bars, to help attract young adults away from traditional bars. Yet the supposedly "creative" movie people in Hollywood insist "nothing can be done" to get people into the theater.

Simpsons fan creates tomacco

Simpsons fan creates tomacco 11/04/2003 02:00 AM
A Simpsons fan has created tomacco by cross-breeding tomatoes and tobacco:

"What we found was nicotine in the leaves". said scientist Ray Grimsbo. The plant grew off the tobacco roots and sucked up the nicotine, just like Tomacco on The Simpsons. The lab hasn't tested if the actual tomato has nicotine in it yet, but they say it probably does. "Generally in the fruit there is more material concentrated because that's what everything's going through to produce the fruit for the next generation. I would expect there would be more." And that would make the real life tomacco plant very poisonous. Rob Baur says he grew the tomacco plant just for fun, just to see if it would really work.
