  • Who Killed Tony

    The Sopranos was not my favorite HBO series, but it was certainly a great series. I must admit I was with everyone else in thinking that my satellite connection dropped when the screen went black at the end before the credits rolled. I was a little disappointed, but certainly not pissed off like a [...]

  • Switching from Bloglines to Google Reader

    I’ve been using Bloglines since the beginning of 2005 to manage all of my feeds. I switched momentarily to Rojo, but I still found Bloglines easier to use when it came to reading a lot of feeds quickly.

    But Bloglines continues to frustrate. It routinely locks up and performs abysmally when it loads a long list of [...]

  • Why TiVo is Irrelevant

    First of all, I love TiVo. I still use TiVo a lot (although not nearly as much as MCE, simply because I’m at my computer all of the time), and I think that people suffering through the Moto Comcast PVR adventure are tragic figures. I bet big on TiVo for two years and invested myself [...]

  • The Widget as Application

    We’ve been working hard to get the latest version of CozmoTV out and as always, we’ve begun to focus on what’s next. As you have seen, we’ve made a pretty fundamental decision about widgets and the role they will play in the future of CozmoTV. In short, we are looking at widgets [...]

  • Marc Andreessen’s Blog

    ….has motivated me to resuscitate this blog (yet again), especially this post about productivity. The truth is that I actually enjoy blogging. I typically write up articles that I want to post and then I leave them for editing and never wind up posting them. They then get stale and wind up in the dustbin. But the [...]

  • Clearwire or Someone like them is Going to Make a Fortune

    Clearwire is getting a cautious coverage in the press. Nobody is singing their praises, but nobody really wants to bet wrong on McCaw either. But whether Craig wins or loses is pretty irrelevant to me. What it does mean is that the era of ultrafast wireless is starting. Craig is betting that it is a market already [...]

  • Narcissism and Fame Are a Little Too Easy

    I read an article in the Wall Street Journal about the way in which kids and bloggers are increasingly documenting their entire lives online. The premise is that narcissism was on the rise amongst kids and the lines between public and private lives are evaporating. People are not just documenting and sharing their digital life, [...]

  • A Thirst for Authenticity

    It’s amazing how many people seem to look at all this user generated video stuff and scoff that it doesn’t live up to the standards set by Hollywood; that it will never be of the quality of ‘American Idol’ or some such.

    We have grown up in a culture of perfection. Our [...]

  • Why Peers Are So Valuable

    I’ve read quite a few of Mark Cuban’s posts over the past year. There is a lot I agree with and some I disagree with. But I think Mark is actually a very smart guy. One of his rants a while back was about how the Internet is a terrible delivery mechanism for video simulcasts (essentially, broadcasting linear [...]

  • Of Shooting Stars and Serialized Snowballs

    I’ve seen a number of articles about Revver recently. I was a bit hard on Revver a while back and I haven’t completely changed my mind about their model, but I do respect what they are trying to do as far as compensating content creators. The problem, as I have [...]

  • Portable Culture and DRMs Dying Days

    I was reading the Reuters article the other day about the issues with DRM and how Apple has used DRM to solidify their position in the music business. This got me thinking about DRM and the reasons why it might fail to survive the next decade.

    The arguments against DRM are well understood. [...]

  • How Apple Recreates Broadcast Scarcity with the iTunes Pricing Model

    In the interest of maintaining simplicity for users (and tight control over the labels and studios), Jobs mandates certain prices for content. In doing so and not allowing prices to adjust for demand, Jobs essentially recreates distribution scarcity online. For example, if I’m looking to gain distribution for a new show, I might price it inexpensively or [...]

  • Facebook and the Illusion of Privacy

    I was going to write this post a few weeks back, but time just got away from me. Facebook came out with a service (News Feeds) that essentially scraped data from all your relationships in order to give you a personalized daily briefing of your social network’s activities. This is a very cool solution to [...]

  • Gotta Love Mark Zuckerberg’s Authenticity

    This shit is classic…

    From The Wall Street Journal…

    During one series of talks with Microsoft, Facebook executives told their Microsoft peers they couldn't do an 8 a.m. conference call because the company's 22-year-old founder and chief executive, Harvard dropout Mark Zuckerberg, wouldn't be awake, says a person familiar with the talks. Microsoft executives were incredulous.

    In [...]
