Weighing The Costs And Benefits Of
Security

Weighing The Costs And Benefits Of
Security 05/04/2004 12:21 PM
We've talked before about how many business decision makers seem to constantly focus on one side of the cost-benefit equation. When times are good, they only focus on benefits of the decisions they make, without paying attention to the true costs. When times are bad they are only looking to cut costs, without realizing how much that may harm other aspects of their business. It seems like a fairly simple concept to weigh both sides - but in practice, it happens so rarely. It's not just in business, either. Bruce Schneier is complaining that when it comes to national security, no one appears to be doing the same sort of cost-benefit analysis. Many of our national security proposals have tradeoffs. Many of those tradeoffs may be worth it, but it doesn't appear that anyone is actually weighing the two sides. Instead, they're saying "this will benefit us, let's do it." No one bothers to look at the costs in terms of monetary costs, inconvenience costs or even impact on society. Much of this is a result of the sound-bite culture we live in, where you only have enough time to explain one side of the issue, and you might as well focus on the benefits. No one wants to hear about costs.

the shift from in-house to outsourcing 05/31/2004 01:47 PM
According to a new study, the world’s largest companies were more inclined to outsource HR functions in 2003 than in 2002. And if they weren’t outsourcing at the time of the latest survey, most were thinking about it. Another finding: Those who are outsourcing are, for the most part, happy in their choice. However, while outsourcing increased in many areas, such as 401 K plans and call centers, it decreased slightly in recruiting. In this article, MedZilla interviews the survey’s author and reports on its findings. [PRWEB May 28, 2004]

Friends With Benefits

Friends With Benefits 08/12/2004 11:21 AM
In the current issue of Wired magazine, a piece I wrote on social swap nets:

Think of them as eBay crossed with Napster, then injected with Friendster DNA. The newest social networking services merge three powerful Web functions - auctioning, file-sharing, and friend-of-a-friend socializing - to build digital barter economies. Unlike first-gen social networks, these communities are about more than getting laid and getting paid. These "social swap nets" help like-minded members pool digital resources - music, movies, games, even hardcover books.

Mediachest and SongBuddy are two early examples. They're still small (and size matters when it comes to a well-stocked "sharing pool"), but their very existence points to a new era in networked transactions, one in which online exchanges become more useful.

Here's how they work: Members browse one another's collections online using filters such as friend groups, geographic location, or other affinities. This isn't file-swapping in the old outlaw Napster sense. They can access one another's stuff, but the original copy literally traded with others, rather than downloaded and duplicated via P2P. Getting hold of the goods is mostly a low tech affair. Members often mail or hand-deliver items.

True surround sound

True surround sound 06/30/2004 01:12 PM
Audio engineers at UC Davis have developed a new technology that delivers motion-tracked binaural sound (MTB). It's an update on conventional binaural recording which uses microphones embedded in a dummy head to capture the "location" of sound in a room. One problem with conventional binaural recording is that the sound doesn't change when you move your head. For example, if you hear a recording of someone behind you and turn your head to face them, it still sounds like they're behind you.

"The new method records through multiple microphones (eight for voice, 16 for music) spaced around a head-sized ball or cylinder. The sound is played back through headphones with a small tracking device attached to the top to follow head movements. As you turn your head while listening, the system mixes sound from different microphones, reproducing what you would hear if you were in the room."

Iosono: Equitable Surround Sound

Iosono: Equitable Surround Sound 07/27/2004 09:21 AM

Wired News profiles a new sound technology called 'Iosono' which aims to recreate the sweet spot of 3D sound in every seat of a theater. Created by one of the major developers of MP3, Iosono uses over 300 speakers arranged around a space to provide more realistic environment, one where sound can subtly move across the room for everyone listening, not just those in the middle of all the speakers. Unfortunately, as cool as the technology might be, movies theaters are already scrambling to scrape together enough money to pay for digital projection and other upgrades, and since no movie studios are currently producing movies with the Iosono format, it's unlikely owners will be rushing to install a 300-speaker upgrade for a format with an unknown future.
