Marc Cuban Is Psyched About Cable
Cuban is PSYCHED! Hey, it’s not like he doesn’t have a reason to shake the pom-poms for cable, right? He’s also been pretty vocal about his belief that content owners will never give up the fees they get from cable and go to a free online distribution model.
Marc Cuban just told me advances [...]
Intel Debuts Wireless Power
This could be huge but before we get too frothy about it we should take a breath and realize that not only will device makers have to build this into their hardware designs, and pay Intel for the privilege of doing so, but with a range of a couple of feet us consumers won’t be [...]
Early Adopters’ Secrets For Success With New Tech
The CIO’s role within global 2000 companies has changed in recent years from leading big systems projects, like ERP deployments, to business transformation. The objective for a lot of big companies is to use technology innovations to drive business innovations, not just achieve cost and productivity efficiencies.
“Ten years ago, CIOs spent a lot [...]
Save The Newspaper Industry and Still Lose Weight
This is a really interesting article on the newspaper business; how the eyeball model is failing and why a “subscription consortium” could be a positive development if Congress changes the antitrust laws that likely restrict newspapers from enabling this now.
Harder to foresee was the emergence of a painful paradox: Newspapers’ revenues have shrunk [...]
All the Time is Prime Time
Like every train wreck, you can see it coming but only at the point of impact does anyone really pay attention to it.
But the more significant shift can’t be blamed on the strike. In the past television season, there has been a sharp increase in time-shifting. Some of the six million are still watching, but [...]
Digital Hollywood
I spoke on a panel at the Digital Hollywood event yesterday, an event that has grown substantially from years past which no doubt reflects the growth of technology in entertainment. Here’s a flipbook version of the conference agenda… why not a plain ‘ol PDF?
Many of the panels were focused on online advertising, viral marketing, and [...]
Twitterfone, Simply Perfection
Twitterfone is a new service that let’s you send Twitter updates through speech recognition. You dial a number, record your tweet and hang up. It’s that simple.
My headline is a bold statement but allow me to explain why I believe that Twitterfone might in fact be a perfect application service:
It works. I have [...]
Amazon Kindle or Bezos’ Windmill?
Amazon is highlighting the fact that Kindles are available for immediate shipment following long delays following unprecedented early demand. That Amazon is devoting the choicest real estate on their site to the Kindle, as well as publishing their shareholder letter, underscore the commitment that Amazon is making to this device.
I’ve been watching the Kindle with [...]
LED Lighting
I like home LED lighting but only for very specific applications, like counter lighting and for cabinets. The diffusion and color temperature of these lights is odd and they don’t get better as they warm up, like CFLs do. While this development is welcome, the chief business development guy just gave me an excuse to [...]
Alert Thingy Killed Facebook
Just like Thwirl and Snitter totally changed the way I interact with Twitter and drove up my usage as a result, Alert Thingy is doing that for FriendFeed.
As Dennis says, who btw I ripped off the title for this post from, the result is that I am evolving in my behaviors with social networks at [...]
