YouTube “Denial”

October 2, 2006

It’s a least a little funny that the image next to the Techmeme entry for the latest fluff on YouTube, Newsweek’s article on “The Battle Over YouTube”, is a the cover of that issue, which has the word “DENIAL” (and a photo of George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld) emblazoned on the cover.

Forrester on YouTube

October 2, 2006

Interesting to see Forrester’s opinion on YouTube (in a piece titled “YouTube is goin’ down”) mesh so well with mine (from a CNet piece): Copyright issues that have plagued video-sharing site YouTube since its official launch almost a year ago will mean that “YouTube will get sued. And it will lose,” wrote Josh Bernoff and […]

Cold Comfort from A VC

October 2, 2006

Fred has posted on my comment telling him that I wasn’t much impressed with the ad hominems on Mark Cuban. But I don’t even get a link out of it! I want a refund.

Ambient Vector Releases Nakama

October 2, 2006

Sutha is a friend and client, so it’s particularly wonderful to hear that the team at Ambient Vector has hit a key milestone. No, I’m not talking about the release in late September of Nakama, their mobile photo and video publishing app – I’m talking about coverage in MobileCrunch, which is impressed:

Campaign Donations to U.S. Judges

October 1, 2006

In the NYT today, the three first paragraphs of a piece that would astound the average Canadian: In the fall of 2004, Terrence O’Donnell, an affable judge with the placid good looks of a small-market news anchor, was running hard to keep his seat on the Ohio Supreme Court. He was also considering two important […]

Is YouTube the Single Best Thing That Has Happened to the Net in the Past Several Years?

September 30, 2006

Fred says so. I think it’s pretty cool, too, but judging from his tone and from Bob Lefstez’s tone (I left a comment there telling him I thought he needed to put down the bong and breathe – let’s see how that goes over) – in a post Fred seems to admire (Mathew, too), I […]

Why I Won’t Buy Apple’s Aperture

September 30, 2006

I love Apple software. I’m a recent convert, but time and time again the Apple approach seems more elegant, visually enoyable, and efficient than the Windows counterpart. And so I enthusiastically look for Appleware whenever the opportunity presents. Lately a competition has sprung up between Adobe and Apple’s new products for the photographer – Adobe […]

What’s Next for Sony?

September 30, 2006

Sir Howard Stringer must be chewing on the carpet by now. First, the Sony-BMG rootkit debacle, and now the largest tech product recall in living memory, a recall that seems to worsen with every passing day. Perhaps the best that can be said about the recall is it’s timing: precisely when HP’s woes were dominating […]

The HP Saga: Focus on Counsel

September 30, 2006

In the latest instalment, the focus is on the lawyers, particularly former General Counsel Ann Baskins and quite possibly soon-to-be-former outside counsel Larry Sonsini. CNet fastens on what is now known about the rest of a Wilson Sonsini memo that appears to have been the basis for HP’s September 6 filing with SEC, made to […]
