Keeping Free Speech Free

March 31, 2006

This week, the Federal Election Commission voted to exempt much political communication on the Internet from the provisions of the McCain-Feingold finance law. This action is a partial win on free-speech rights, but bad news on government control of the Internet. A few years ago, the FEC issued reg...

Time to Stop Blaming People for the Dot-Com Bust

March 30, 2006

Former Credit Suisse First Boston banker Frank Quattrone -- who became a poster boy for all of the excesses of the dot-com era on Wall Street -- recently had his conviction for obstruction of justice overturned by a U.S. Appeals Court in New York City. Now, speculation is growing that Quattrone, fam...

Foiled in France: Apple's New Tub of Hot Water

March 28, 2006

Could Apple's troubles in Europe get any worse? It's on the wrong end of a lawsuit from The Beatles in the UK, who say iTunes breaks a $26 million settlement under which Apple Computer agreed to stay away from the music business; there's a distinct possibility Apple's digital rights management techn...

Competitive Shakeups: Dell/Alienware and Microsoft's Remix

March 27, 2006

In the midst of the Game Developer's conference in San Jose, Calif., last week, Microsoft announced that Windows Vista would miss its do-not-miss date. Then, Dell, which does not typically do acquisitions, bought the premier gaming PC builder Alienware. Each event has within it the potential to in...

Mon Dieu! Don't MiniTel Apple

March 24, 2006

French legislators approved a bill this week that will force technology companies such as Apple Computer to share proprietary technology with rivals. Such a move is not only a recipe for disaster but completely unnecessary. The digital music market has always been a tumultuous place. For a long ti...

Comparing Google, Microsoft to Netscape, IBM and Predicting Legal 'Piracy'

March 20, 2006

Blogs are providing an unprecedented look inside organizations in the Internet age. Via blogs run by current and former employees and associates we can now see aspects of major technology companies that otherwise would only be visible to a few insiders. While it is fun to position these companies...

Cable Reform Is Almost Here

March 17, 2006

About a month ago, a bi-partisan group of senators released a statement supporting cable franchise reform. Now key members of the House of Representatives appear to agree. At this rate, consumers might actually see national reform that will slash cable bills and make video service more innovative ...

Value Your Hearing? Check Your Earbud Use

March 15, 2006

More than half of American high school students say they have at least one symptom of hearing loss, and many of their problems are directly attributable to the use of iPods and other portable music players, says a new study. Teenagers aren't the only ones at risk, however. Technology that provides a...

Intel's Bright Future: Are There Implications for Apple?

March 13, 2006

Last week, Intel held its Developer Conference, an annual event where the company showcases the changes it plans to make in its next-gen products. With Microsoft's new operating system due to hit the market in a few short months, Intel planned more dramatic changes this year than would typically be ...

Predicting Communications Prices

March 10, 2006

The recent news that AT&T made a deal to acquire BellSouth has elicited two reactions: one, an assumption that communications prices will go up; and the other, an assumption that prices will go down. It's always tough to predict exactly what will happen in the marketplace, but the best money w...

Trials and Tribulations for Apple, Origami, HP and Gateway

March 6, 2006

Three bits of news got me thinking about personal computers last week. The first was the "surprise" announcement from Apple that it was getting into speakers and, yawn, building an Intel-based Mac Mini. The second was the HP/Gateway settlement, and the third was the "secret" Microsoft Origami projec...

Don't Tax the Internet

March 3, 2006

Some members of Congress want to tax the Internet, and they're trying to do it under the guise of "telecom reform." That's a trick Americans won't like. It's time to send Washington a message, loud and clear: hands off the Internet. During hearings on a government tax and welfare program called the...

IBM-SCO Battle Flares, Windows Beats Unix, Apple Gets Virus

February 27, 2006

Last week a number of surprising issues flared in the press. First, IBM says it is now aggressively going after SCO's funding sources to see where the bodies are buried, so to speak; an IDC report puts Windows ahead of Unix for the first time since, well, ever; and Apple's OS, considered the "secure...

Longer Lives Threatened by Global Divide Arguments

February 24, 2006

At a recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a group of biologists discussed how, in the near future, people could expect to live 100 years. A longer, healthier life is good news to most, but predictably some speakers took a negative, almost pro-death, stance. Sta...

In the Ugly Music Business, Giants Rule

February 22, 2006

In 1932 Solomon Linda wrote a song he called "Mbube." He and the Evening Birds recorded it as a 78 in 1939 and by 1949, some 100,000 copies had been sold. If you were around in the '60s, you'd have known it as "Wimoweh" (from the Zulu "uyiMbube"). Then it showed up as "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" in Wa...
