Got a Mac, so shut up already

Got a Mac, so shut up already 02/10/2004 02:51 AM
I just installed OS X on the used G4 I bought for my father-in-law. Having installed Windows scores of times — probably more than a 100 in my lifetime — and having installed Linux a few times with mixed success, I was interested in how the Mac would do. Answer: Pretty durn easy. As easy as Windows XP, and definitely easier than Red Hat or Mandrake. And then the fun began. The UI effects are real crowd-pleasers. It matters to me that the droplets of water play catch as you wait for something to install. Let's not say I'm superficial....

What If Microsoft Just Shut Down?

What If Microsoft Just Shut Down? 08/12/2004 11:41 AM

Closing Microsoft: Fascinating concept here: just close down Microsoft. Bill Gates said he wants to keep running the company until it's no longer fun. Dvorak opines that this time has come, and he explores how you would just shut down a company like Microsoft. Absurd, but interesting.

As this is written, the asset or book value of Microsoft per share, including the $70-plus billion in the bank, is a fraction of the stock price. But if Microsoft can knock down the stock price with one or two dubious reports and collect another $50 billion or so while moving everything offshore, it might be possible to pay out the money to the shareholders and close the company. Just walk.

[...] all the principals would have their money, houses, and cars, and would never have to worry about Microsoft going into a pathetic decline, as most companies eventually do. The closure would be one of the most interesting episodes in the history of business.

Shut Up and Serve Ads

Shut Up and Serve Ads 10/28/2003 11:08 PM
Russell Beattie points out that Google's terms of service requires that you not publicly discuss AdSense. Jason Kottke points out this "seems to fly in the face of Sergey Brin's Google rule #1: 'Don't be evil'." Cory Doctorow agrees saying "Google shouldn't ask all its users to submit to an unreasonable restriction on their speech in order to contain the spread of negative information about its service." Meanwhile, other annoying provisions are that you can't: have multiple accounts (which is useful when you want to keep separate statistics for separate sites), talk to advertisers about their ads, disclose any results, get paid for anything Google considers "fradulent clicks", find out why they're considered "fraudulent clicks", pass on payments to anyone. And Google can cancel you whenever without a reason. Erik Thauvin and Derek Powazek, both well-respected web writers, got their accounts and payments canceled for "fraudulent clicks", even though they didn't try to cheat. They ran ads for Google and now Google refuses to show them any evidence of wrongdoing or pay them for their space. Some suggest that Google simply cancels accounts when they payouts get too high to avoid paying. *Update:* We previously reported that the don't-talk-about-AdSense provision was recently added. Several sources, including a Google employee, have said this is a mistake. We've corrected the story above and apologize for the error....

Transmeta to Shut Down?

Transmeta to Shut Down? 06/05/2005 11:46 PM

Transmeta sells microprocessor unit: Apparently Transmeta — well known as the landing place of Linus Torvalds — is going to shut down. They just sold the Crusoe line of processors to a Hong Kong company.

The deal marks the latest twist in the Transmeta melodrama. The Sunnyvale, California-based company, which counted Linus Torvalds as an early employee, hoped to challenge Intel in notebooks with processors that consumed far less power. Despite signing deals with brand-name manufacturers such as Sony and Fujitsu in 2000, tepid performance reviews and product delays followed in 2001.

Deals dried up, three CEOs came and went, and financial losses increased. Since 1998, the company has posted accumulated losses of $635 million on revenues of $134 million.

Transmeta's early successes, however, did have a lasting effect: They prompted Intel to come up with the Centrino processor, chipset and network-interface bundle.

I remember when this company launched amid total secrecy. They wouldn't tell anyone what they were doing or working on. When they hired Linus, everyone went atwitter about what they were up to. Sad to see it end this way.

I've been avoiding posting the nearly daily back and forth stories about the SCO/Linux battle because it's almost too crazy to believe. However, it sounds like the battle of dueling open letters and press releases may finally be coming to an end as a judge has told SCO to show the evidence against IBM already. This is bad news for SCO, because they've been acting as if it was all IBM's fault that no evidence had been shown - and the judge clearly does not buy that argument. Still, it could be a very long time before this case is settled, so we should be seeing plenty more craziness for the next few years.

Every time Symantec AntiVirus 2003 (XP) encounters an incoming message with a virus, i.e. 10-20 times each time I download email, it puts up a dialogue box telling me what it's found. It's not asking me for advice or requiring me to make a decision. It's just patting itself on its back. And it interrupts the download until I press the button to dismiss it, presumably with a muttered "Attaboy, Norton, I mean, Symantec!" Which means I have to sit and watch my screen while I'm downloading email. With 1,200 incoming spams a day, this gets to be a bother....

Adam McGaughey, the owner of a Stargate fansite has been slapped with criminal charges (Criminal Copyright Infringement and Trafficking in Counterfeit Services) after being reported to the FBI by the MPAA for including Amazon links to encourage fans to purchase DVDs of the show. To build its case, the FBI invoked a provision of the USA Patriot Act to obtain financial records from his ISP. And, since he "conspired" with thousands of fans worldwide by providing these Amazon Market links, he could be facing up to 20 years in jail if the government invokes RICO.

Two odd things about The Daily Show:

1. On last night's show, Jon Stewart made an off-the-cuff joke about the first story of the night "which you can read about on my blog." before launching into the full story. The blog joke didn't get too many laughs though (I was thinking to myself do people even know what he's making fun of?).
2. perhaps related, but author and blogger Neal Pollack is going to be on tonight's show

Sims + Sex on CNN and the Daily Show

Sims + Sex on CNN and the Daily Show 02/13/2004 03:26 AM
Two pieces of TV news coverage about the vrtual scandal involving digital sex in the Sims Online -- and related discussions aired The Alphaville Herald that led to the Herald's Peter Ludlow being yanked from the game. Ludlow writes:

CNN has produced a story on the joys of cyberbrothels in alphaville. I have no idea if it has aired on the network. It seems that the reporter (Bruce Burkhardt) got his virtual ashes hauled in the Jiggolo [sic] Escorts cyber brothel, which offers a good hour of cybering for the low low price of 17 K simoleans. I guess my complaint would be that the story makes it sould like all the Romance category houses are sex oriented.

Meanwhile, everyone who is angry at me for the CNN story can look forward to my ritual humiliation by The Daily Show on Comedy Central tonight! My students are especially looking forward to this one, as will all haters of Urizenus -- The producer promised that they would indeed make me look like a total ass. I'm not sure what will make it into the story, but there is a bit where Rob Cordry (sp?) insists that I shoot Polie Bear. There are also some obligatory remarks about fisting parties (how else are they going to stay on basic cable?).
