Why Apple Needs a Tablet

March 3, 2006

Because Josh Marshall might switch if they had one. It’s a big issue for me, too – I’ve seriously considered switching to a Tablet (looks like it won’t be the M4!) ever since I trialed one courtesy of HP, one of the event sponsors of the original LexThink. Together with Outlook and Media Center, it’s […]

The Consumer as Publisher

March 3, 2006

Jeff Jarvis live blogs what sounds like a rousing keynote by Reuters CEO Tom Glocer at the Online Publishers Association Forum for the Future: Glocer said a year ago, the focus of Reuters was on “the consumer as editor,” with tools such as RSS to allow consumers to consume differently. Now, it has gone far […]

The Myth of Multitasking, Redux

March 2, 2006

I’ve written several times here about what I see as the myth of multitasking. But for everyone who sees it as a myth, there seems to be at least one other who sees it as a core competence. (I’ve often wondered whether that phenomenon has anything to do with whatever it is that makes people […]

WSJ: “Broken U.S. Patent System”

March 2, 2006

From a WSJ editorial today: The bitter legal fight over BlackBerry patents may soon inconvenience millions of users of that handheld email device. But that’s nothing compared to the damage that a broken U.S. patent system is doing to the larger American economy. Patents are supposed to protect intellectual property and spur innovation, and once […]

Another Solo Law Blogger

March 1, 2006

There must be something in the water. Today, hot on the heels of Ernie’s announcement, Anthony Cerminaro (of BizzBangBuzz) fame announced that he’s leaving his firm to go solo: I believe it was Dennis Kennedy who made a statement to the effect that within a certain time period after you start blogging, you will be […]

On Digg

March 1, 2006

I think I can now safely write the post-mortem on my recent experience on Digg for my post “Why John C. Dvorak is Wrong About Apple“. 17,000 hits, 66 comments, 1315 diggs and 131 digg comments. (There were actually a few more comments, but I deleted them because of (wildly) inappropriate language). The suddenness of […]

MySpace Draws the Pols

March 1, 2006

When the current MySpace controversy first sprung up, my reaction was that Senator Clinton would make a (brief) appearance on the story – cashing in on the controversy (as she did with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas) just long enough to buff up her conservative cred as she plans her run in 2008. News today […]

Competition in Canadian Broadband

March 1, 2006

From a Toronto Star report of comments by Rogers vice-president of finance John Gossling to an investor conference in Palm Beach: Unlike the competitive situation (in the U.S.), the prices on Internet and TV have been actually moving up quite nicely (for Rogers). We don’t seem to have the competitive pressure to take these decent-margin […]

Ernest Svenson – aka Ernie the Attorney – is leaving Gordon, Arata in New Orleans and going solo. Ernie was one of the very early law bloggers and is one of the good guys (I had the pleasure of meeting him at the first LexThink). The new website is here and is (surprise!) a blog. […]
