The Lawyers and Their Money
The Lawyers and Their Money
05/12/2004 11:17 AMThis one goes into the Shameless Hall of Fame: Some of the lawyers
who sued Microsoft for its predatory behavior against California
customers are doing their best to fuel the public's contempt for the
legal profession.
They're asking for more than $250 million in
fees, as the AP reports today -- "about $3,000 per hour for one
lawyer, more than $2,000 an hour each for 34 other attorneys and
$1,000 an hour for administrative work."
This is beyond absurd. We get ripped off once by Microsoft, and now
the lawyers -- whose deal with Microsoft gives precious little
individual customers -- are bellying up to the trough in ways that
would embarrass anyone who had an ounce of shame.
The judge in this case should say no. Give the lawyers a reasonable
fee, not this grotesque lottery score. It's the customers who deserve
most of that money.

Ashcroft's terror warning
Ashcroft's terror warning
05/29/2004 10:54 AM
One of Ashcroft's
"credible sources" from last week's terror warning came from
Abu Hafs al-Masri
Brigades, a group that has also claimed responsibility for the
blackout in the Northeast last year, the power outage in London, the
Madrid bombing and has been called
"notoriously unreliable" by U.S. officials. “The
only thing they haven't claimed credit for recently is the cicada
invasion of Washington". Ashcroft blames the FBI who have
admitted that claims that terrorists were 90 percent ready to attack
came not from al-Qaida, but from the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades’
statements.

"Amidst the public ballyhoo about how rampant P2P piracy is costing
the music business its very life (gasp! NO!), BMI announced it collected a record
level of revenue and royalty payout to its artist members. From
their press release: "BMI has reported revenues of $673 million for
the 2004 fiscal year, an increase of nearly $43 million, 6.8% over the
prior year. Royalties of more than $573 million were distributed to
our songwriters, composers and music publishers, an increase of $40
million or 7.5% from the previous year, and the most ever paid by an
American PRO." Another interesting tidbit: "During the period
1995-2004, BMI had an average annual revenue growth rate of 9%..." If
I read this right, BMI has been reporting solid growth over the last
nine years, which makes me question the industry's claims about P2P.
Either P2P ate into their growth (not mentioned), they found a way to
cope with it (plausible), or it may actually help music sales.
Whatever. Reminds me a bit of a spec I did for a life-insurance
company's radio ad: Money
, Money, Money (mp3 file)."

Money 2005: Microsoft Unveils Simplified
Approach to Financial Management and
Helps People Make Sense of Their Money
09/21/2004 08:41 AMMarking the largest development effort for Microsoft(R) Money since
the personal finance software was launched 13 years ago, Microsoft
Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) today announced Microsoft Money 2005 Premium,
Deluxe, Standard and Small Business. Completely rebuilt to simplify
daily financial tasks, Money 2005 is designed to answer the growing
number of consumer requests for a simple solution that addresses the
three primary areas of financial concern: tracking account balances,
monitoring spending and paying bills. Consumers today have less time
than ever to spend managing their finances, which has contributed to
the number of American households banking online -- due to its
convenience and efficiency -- reaching nearly 33 million.(1) Money
2005 builds on this trend by helping people access all their accounts
in one place and providing automated tools that reduce or eliminate
the manual entry required by traditional personal finance software.
