Radio Interview with John Brady Kiesling and John H. Brown
Radio Interview with John Brady Kiesling and John H. Brown03/15/2003 06:05 AM KALW in San Francisco did an hour
long radio interview with John Brady Kiesling and John H. Brown,
the American Foreign Service officers who resigned over Bush's Iraq
policy. Both are impressive speakers, and Kiesling is as articulate
and as convincing as his letter:
If we can't convince
our historical allies that this is a good thing to do, there is no way
we are going to be able to convince the Arab world.
People have to take a stand. War may be inevitable, but we need to do
what we can to keep our consciences clean.
There is a policy to make America safer, but this is not it.
"America is still the safest country in the world. The
administration is trying to scare people with this talk about terror
and duct tape. We should use our safety and prosperity and our
strength to do good and we can do good."
Brown said his resignation was "in part a result of Andrew Card's
comment, 'Never launch a product in August.' War is not a
product."
I learned a lot from listening to it. Recommended. Requires

McCain-Lautenberg Community Broadband Act
McCain-Lautenberg Community Broadband Act06/24/2005 10:01 PM Two senators counter Rep. Sessions's pro-incumbent bill with a
pro-community networking bill: Pete Sessions, former SBC employee
whose wife works at the company and who maintains direct ownership of
large Bell stock and option holdings, introduced a brief and terribly
broad bill that eliminates essentially all forms of municipal
ownership and outsourcing of broadband. The bill he wrote is broad
enough to shut down future airport Wi-Fi and other projects beloved by
private forms. Republicans and Democrats alike enjoy accusing judges
of bias when they have a direct interest in the outcome of a case;
shouldn't conflict of interest apply for legislators without blind
trusts, too? Senators McCain and Lautenberg's alternative is the
Community Broadband Act which will be incorporated into a telecom
reform bill, and is backed by the National League of Cities and other
groups. While I have written consistently that municipal broadband
isn't a universal panacea as it is offered portrayed, I also believe
strongly that local self-determination on critical development issues
is as American (and conservative) as apple pie. Telcos try to paint
local municipalities as competing in the same industry they regulate.
But municipalities have little to no power over telcos, only state
agencies and only in limited ways when telcos act as public
utilities--which doesn't include broadband in many states....

I am a long-term user, I've paid several times for the product over
the years, its basic interface works for me better than iTunes, and
I'm used to it, I don't want to change. But: In trying to turn
a good music client into a boffo music store, MusicMatch has
repeatedly broken its software. Most recently, the thing crashes
whenever I try to copy a CD to my hard drive. This same bug existed
for months last winter, then MusicMatch finally fixed it -- now it has
reappeared in the latest update. (The "volume leveling" feature, which
would be highly useful if it worked, has also always crashed.)
Frankly, MusicMatch, I don't care about your store. I just want
your software, once the best of its kind, to work.

Yahoo Acquires Musicmatch Inc.
Yahoo Acquires Musicmatch Inc.09/14/2004 10:04 PM Internet heavyweight Yahoo has just announced that it will be
acquiring Musicmatch Inc. for $160 million in cash. Set to close in Q4
of this year, the deal will see Musicmatch Inc. become a direct
subsidiary of the expanding California based company.
Plans include integrating Musicmatch' existing on-line radio network
and music store into the popular "Yahoo Launch" service.
Yahoo CEO Dennis Mudd commented that "...combining assets with
Launch, we believe that Musicmatch will have an even stronger position
to take advantage of the rapidly growing digital music segment."
Musicmatch currently sells around 1.5 million digital songs per month
through its online music portal. Yahoo will undoubtedly make a push to
bring that number up, trying to lure users away from competing portals
like iTunes and Rhapsody.
Yahoo to buy Musicmatch for $160 million09/14/2004 10:43 AM Internet portal jumps into downloads of digital songs and says more
musical maneuvers are yet to come.
Yahoo Matches With MusicMatch09/14/2004 12:29 PM Yahoo continues its buying streak, with the latest deal showing that
Terry Semel hasn't forgotten his entertainment roots. The company is
shelling out $160 million for MusicMatch, a popular player in the
digital music space that hasn't done quite as well lately. For a
while, MusicMatch was one of the most popular client applications on
Windows machines for managing MP3 collections. More recently they
offered a subscription service that won strong reviews. A few years
ago, MusicMatch provided the only client side app on Windows machines
that would work with the iPod, but once iTunes for Windows was
written, Apple shoved
MusicMatch aside, making them something of a has-been in the
space. The deal with Yahoo is less about their client software than
the number of subscribers they bring -- which basically doubles the
number of subscribers to Yahoo's Launch music subscription service.
Of course, given some of Yahoo's track record with acquisitions
lately, they'll simply swallow this one up, rather than using it as a
way to really jump ahead of the competition with a more advanced
service.
Yahoo's could not do it on their own so they had to buy one of my
most favored music vendors. I have always been a big fan of Musicmatch
and now that Yahoo has just bought them out I am sure they will ruin
it. I stopped using Yahoo and brands they own when they went to a pay
model on listing your site with them. I wonder if my Lifetime upgrade
of Musicmatch will be honored. [News.co

iTunes Shoves Aside Musicmatch
iTunes Shoves Aside Musicmatch11/04/2003 05:20 AM When Apple first launched a Windows version of the iPod, they worked
with MusicMatch to supply the necessary software, since they didn't
have a Windows version of iTunes. Eventually, they decided to launch
their own. This wasn't a huge surprise to the folks at MusicMatch who
realized immediately that their old partner had become a competitor.
What they didn't expect, however, was that the new iTunes for Windows
would shove
installed copies of MusicMatch aside, and stop it from working
with the iPod. That's right. Even if you had been using MusicMatch
for your iPod prior to downloading iTunes, the iTunes install disables
that functionality. This seems to go a little bit too far.
Installing a new application should not interfere with the way old
applications work - especially when many people will probably want to
continue to use both (or will just be testing out iTunes before
deciding whether or not to stick with MusicMatch).
