Behind the Sun, Microsoft, rhetoric 04/12/2004 02:06 PM
The elephant in the room when Sun Microsystems and Microsoft announced their fairly stunning detente was commoditization — the pressure from widely available, low-cost alternatives. Go behind the rhetoric and Microsoft's promise to pay Sun nearly $2 billion. You'll find long-term trends that have to be gnawing at the companies' chief executives, Scott McNealy of Sun and Steve Ballmer of Microsoft, who shared the stage in a news conference and acted like friends.

"Dangerous rhetoric"

On the rhetoric of adverts...

On the rhetoric of adverts... 02/10/2004 02:46 AM

Brief one this: So I'm watching Contact on television and there's an advert for Pantene shampoo. And the voice comes on - the deep pounding "buy me" voice of the professional voice-over artist - and he says ,"Pantene makes your hair not just once - but twice as shiny!" Can you imagine that? Can you imagine how awesome that must be? I mean something that makes your hair once as shiny is clearly pretty good (given how important the advert made it sound), but this is way way beyond once! This is like twice! That's like once as shiny two times over!

Can someone explain to me how an advert can present "once as shiny" as somehow something pretty awesome that only Pantene can beat? I mean, wouldn't hair naturally be once as shiny? If it wasn't - that would be a problem, wouldn' t it? I mean if your shampoo made your hair 90% as shiny, then wouldn't it gradually and eventually decrease in shininess every time you washed it? Wouldn't it eventually come to absorb all light? Maybe that does happen in very poor places where they can't afford proper almost-once-as-shiny-making shampoo. God how confusing that must be for people at night. It would hurt your eyes eventually, wouldn't it? And wouldn't it make people's heads really really hot after a while? Frankly the thought's so scary that I'm now scrabbling around for a shampoo that guarantees me precisely 100% normal shininess and not a single millionth of a percentage either way. If it's not precisely once as shiny, I don't think I want to go near it...

Objective Rhetoric

Objective Rhetoric 07/28/2004 02:46 PM
At this point, thirty years after New Journalism and Post-Modernism, you'd think we wouldn't still need to have this argument, but, here goes: Objectivity isn't objective. Or, as my friend AKMA puts it, "The only people you can trust to be objective are the ones who know that objectivity can’t be reached." If you need proof of this, look no further than the lead article in today's Boston Globe. I have no quarrel at all with the article. In fact, I read it with interest this morning over breakfast. Glen Johnson does a fine job reporting on the second night...

Counterproductive

Libertarian Rhetoric is
Counterproductive 06/22/2004 08:23 PM
There's a problem with typical libertarian rhetoric, and it's illustrated in this article in New Hampshire's Union Leader. When we speak like crazed Rand-worshippers, how do we expect people to react? Of course they're going to call us 'cultists.' From the article: "if you care at all about New Hampshire, you should do everything in your power to cause the Free Staters and Towners to abort their mission. They're nothing but a selfish group of anarchist carpetbaggers whose sole purpose is to destroy a place and people they don't give two hoots about." (I'm not a member of the FSP by the way, just taking an interest.)
