How can Google grow?
How can Google grow?
06/15/2004 07:30 PMGoogle is supposed to be going public soon at some sort of
fantastically high valuation. A friend asked "How can they
possibly grow into that? What can they do besides search?"
If Google is to reach and sustain a Microsoft-style valuation
perhaps the best way for them to do this is by providing alternatives
to what Microsoft provides. Microsoft is the kind of desktop
applications. You buy software from a store and install it on
your machine. If a new version comes out you figure out how to
buy and install an upgrade. If you get a new computer you spend
several days reinstalling all of your applications, probably
buying new copies of the ones whose installation CD-ROMs you can't
find anymore. If you're traveling and need to edit a document or
spreadsheet, tough luck. All of your data is trapped on your
home or office computer.
In the Internet enthusiasm of the 1990s various people predicted
that desktop applications would be replaced by Web-based
applications For most users this has come true in the case of
email. If you're a Hotmail or Google Mail user you can read
email from any Internet-connected computer in the world. There
are a fair number of Internet-based photo sharing and database
services. What is then left on one's PC? Word processing,
spreadsheet, and PowerPoint documents. If Google were to offer a
private database service and a suite of reasonably powerful
application programs usable from a Web browser, this might be a
serious competitor to Microsoft Office.
So that's my prediction: while Microsoft is trying to replace
Google with MSN Search, Google will be trying to replace Microsoft
Office with Google Web-based Office.

Do you ever watch Inside the Actor's Studio with James Lipton on
Bravo? Sure, the quality has gone down during recent months (Jay
Leno?? Wha??), but it's still really interesting to see what Tom
Cruise has to say about his 'craft.' Anyway, if you watch the show you
know that right before the audience gets a chance to talk to the
actor, Lipton asks The Questions™. I thought it would make a cool
blog entry to answer them. They're not hard questions and
they're actually better if they're rushed through.
I doubt I'll ever get a chance to have Mr. Lipton pose those questions
to me, so I went ahead and answered them quickly, with no
second-guessing. The answers you read here are the first things that
came into my mind.

06/17/2005 07:12 PMLance Ulanoff of PC Magazine says, "Robotics:
Grow Up!" and then tells the robotics industry to gets its act
together. Lance does a great job in bringing to light what's wrong
with the robotics industry by recollecting his experiences with a
recent robotics trade show. Sadly, a lot of his points are completely
correct. The robotics industry appears to be mired in myopic, over-
schooled robotic geeks making piddly wall-detection robots that no one
wants nor can they sell. His solution? Simplify your robot and run a
cost-benefit analysis to see if it will sell. He says the Roomba
meets that cost-benefit criterion. Check out the article to find out
more about Lance's interesting observations.

At a time when major U.S. telephone operators
are spending billions of dollars to expand, telephone software maker
Skype on Tuesday says it's building a global phone network virtually
for free.
New renditions of Skype software for Linux and Macintosh operating
systems are expected to become available on Tuesday. The new releases
are a significant expansion for 17-month-old Skype. Since its debut,
Skype's free software only worked on Microsoft devices, though test
versions of the Linux and Macintosh software have been available since
last year.
Tumors grow just like animals
Tumors grow just like animals
11/17/2003 05:46 AMThe same equations used to model animal growth also describe the
growth of tumors:
As an animal's mass increases, so does the number of cells within it.
But the blood supply that feeds those cells grows more slowly. As a
result, an increasing proportion of the available nutrients go towards
maintaining existing cells rather than the growth of new ones, so the
rate of growth slows and ultimately comes to a halt...
When they compared their predictions to the growth of 13 rodent or
human tumours, they found the tumours' growth closely followed the
same universal law.

Dartmouth to Grow Network
Dartmouth to Grow Network
09/22/2004 12:34 PMDartmouth University, known for being an early Wi-Fi adopter, has big
growth plans: Administrators are in the process of expanding the
network from its original 200 access points to 1,500. The new network
will use APs from Aruba and will support 802.11a, 802.11b, and
802.11g. It sounds like Dartmouth is responding to the bandwidth needs
of students. Because Dartmouth has been on the leading edge of Wi-Fi,
it'll be interesting to watch the university as WiMax products begin
hitting the market. Stringing 1,500 APs sounds like a major pain while
WiMax would require far fewer base stations....

Farmers Grow Backsides with Wi-Fi
Farmers Grow Backsides with Wi-Fi
06/18/2004 03:58 PMWi-Fi networks on farms should allow farmers to control and monitor
more of their operations remotely: Trial projects attempt to show that
with farm-wide Wi-Fi coverage, that irrigation, packing, and other
parts of a farm's business could be handled through remote control.
Eventually, tractors and other devices might be run by wire (or by
wireless, as it were). Anthropomorphism abounds: runaway tractors are
a risk, but crazy runaway tractors? "What we're really scared of is
killing someone if it goes nuts," Pocknee said of the robotic
tractors. Likewise, this strange statement needs some explanation:
Pocknee can sit in his office and see the position of a 600-foot
irrigation system in a nearby field on his computer screen. The system
is equipped with a global positioning system to provide its location.
A wireless video camera shows how it is operating. Why first thought
is "why would an irrigation system move?" and then I realized these
are irrigation systems that are rolled over fields. Of course, this
kind of automation helps big agribusiness more than small farmers who
may be unable to afford the technology investment upfront on a scale
where it makes sense. Labor can be less expensive than technology, as
certain countries have taught us. I'd like to also see projects in
which open-source-flashed Linksys gateways are hooked together for a
few hundred dollars on a 100-acre farm than ever more multi-million
dollar research investments that let farms be run from hundreds of
miles away. [link via Robert Moskowitz]...

report concludes that the market is at a turning point where we may be
just about to see significant growth in the enterprise sector. The
market for access points for enterprise networks grew 25 percent in
the quarter. Until now, the small and home office market has primarily
driven growth, he said. I'm not sure we're quite on the cusp of seeing
major uptake in the large enterprise sector yet because I still see a
lot of confusion, given the wide variety of startups and products
available to address enterprise needs. That confusion will clear up
with market consolidation but that may not happen for a while. The
press release with some more details is here....
