Top 10 Mac Failures
Top 10 Mac Failures
02/01/2005 09:08 PMTop 10 Mac Failures: An
interesting look at Apple miscues. Among them, the Flower Power/Blue
Dalmation iMac and my personal choice of unforgiveable design, the
round mouse.
Users were not universally pleased with the new mouse. It
was now totally symmetrical, preventing many users from easily telling
which way is up. Also, the smaller design made it difficult for large
handed users to use it comfortably.
Man, I hate those round mice.
You know what's not in here? The Newton, which supports my
theory of a few weeks ago.
As for the patterned iMac, the whole colored-machine thing was
flawed from the beginning. I worked at Best Buy in 1998 when the iMac
hit the market. Best Buy was apparently told that they couldn't order
more or less of one color — they could only place an order for a
set number of iMacs, and they'd get an equal division of each color in
the shipment.
Consequently, one of the biggest electronic retailers in the
country dropped the iMac from its shelves, and it's never returned
(not that it hurt Apple much...). The colors should have been snap-on
shells, so you could swap them out if you ever got sick of them.
But, in the end, the color served its purpose. Think back to the
original iMac and what do you remember? All-in-one design, no floppy,
and colored cases. The last item on that list was what got all the
press. Would the iMac be where it is today if they had all been in
beige cases? Not a chance.

03/14/2005 05:51 PMAttention to Mr. Orlowski has apparently waned, so his trash is
back. You might not get this from his article,
but even though he states "[t]his week Trudeau has turned his
attention to the 'Creative Commons' project," in fact, Trudeau does
not mention "Creative Commons" at all. Indeed, for anyone who knows
anything about what Creative Commons is trying to do, no doubt
Thudpucker is a funny character but his views have little to do with
mine, or
CC's.
And as for the project that has "failed to gain much traction," we
were surprised (and pleased) to see this week that the
Yahoo linkback
search to Creative Commons licenses is now over 10,000,000. If
that's right, then we were at 1,000,000 link backs in a year,
5,000,000 in two, and now over 10,000,000 in 2 1/2. Imagine what we
could have done had we only gotten some "traction."
But the best part of reading
this article is that it advertises at the bottom
"related articles," including
this. I am astonished that The Register continues to
carry this trash (or, for that matter, its author). As I told them
then, the article is a lie. Not mistaken, but a lie: a knowing
falsehood, published, and published still. Such is the nature of the
writer, and apparently the publication.

01/01/2004 02:15 AMOne of the computer industry's dirty little secrets is hardware
failure. The few of us who work in, near, or otherwise around large
computer installations take this for granted. Companies like Yahoo
have people on staff that spend a lot of their time dealing with
failing memory, buggy motherboards, smoked power supplies, bad disks,
and overheating CPUs. Google, from what I read, doesn't even bother
anymore. But the larger world probably doesn't see this very often.

Disputing Municipal Network Failures
Disputing Municipal Network Failures
03/19/2005 02:24 AM
The
folks at Tricitybroadband.com have a page that refutes
failures: Many of the anti-municipal networking foes have
released misinformation about what they describe as financially flawed
or failed networks around the U.S. Unfortunately, although there are
certainly municipal services that haven't worked out--there have to be
some failures--the ones that are bandied about are typically
misrepresented. Tricitybroadband.com has a regularly updated page that
provides the official response and financial details refuting this
misinformation.
The point here would be to work with facts: if the facts that the
utilities, cities, or Tricitybroadband is presenting are incorrect,
then other facts could refute them. We could have, say, a real debate
going in which real information was presented, examined, and
conclusions reached.

New Municipal Reports Debunk Network
Failures
New Municipal Reports Debunk Network
Failures
04/11/2005 01:03 PM Remember how the anti-municipal sock puppets and ideologues keep
citing the same failures? They're not failures. In fact, they're
generally successes. You hear Tacoma, Wash.; Ashland, Ore.; Braintree,
Mass.; Marietta, Georgia; and others bandied about as failures that
have drained taxpayer inputs and failed to live up to their financial
projects. As I discovered when starting down the research path on this
two months ago, those networks are successes: the numbers that "prove"
their failure are typically cherrypicked from early construction
stages or even take numbers that were planning figures and weren't
used during the approval stages by voters, city councils, or boards of
directors. The people at Free Press have released a comprehensive
report, "Telco Lies and the Truth about Municipal Broadband Networks,"
(PDF) that includes the first-hand research that the authors of the
reports that declare these networks failures never did. The Beacon
Hill Institute report last spring, for instance, cites a number of
cases using newspaper article, defunct Web sites, and early projects
and apparently never actually spoke to the network operators about
details. (I take the report apart in a post a few weeks ago.) All
academics will tell you that primary sources are how you do it. If you
talk to a primary source and they have publicly available
documentation to back up what they say, then you can confirm or reject
the contentions of that primary source. You can bring in other primary
sources who have opposing views and facts. But if you rely on second
or third hand reports, you will invariably produce conclusions that
are poorly founded. The Free Press counters the misinformation that's
been provided in two ways: first, by showing the fruit of the poisoned
tree, a several-year-old report that gets cited today as if the
information is contemporary (and it was bad back then, too); and,
second, by using primary sources to show how each of these networks is
producing the kinds of financial results that should encourage this
sort of local development. A second report, "Connecting People: The
Truth about Municipal Broadband," (PDF) handles the arguments about
whether municipal networks improperly take the role of private
enterprise in a new and unique way and suck the revenue and
development that comes from private infrastructure into a municipal
maw. This report also tries to address misinformation about the way in
which these networks operator, historical antecedents about
municipal...
