Networks: A fabric smarter than its end points (InfoWorld)

Filed under: Uncategorized — gates @ 10:46 pm

Maybe we could take a look at this InfoWorld - The Internet was built on only a few rules, but one of them was "keep the network dumb and the end points smart." That means that networks are designed to know little about what they're carrying, pushing the onus of consistency checking and packet handling to the server and the clients. However microsoft Q4 profit rises
(Reuters)

Guests play the Xbox 360 'Halo 3' Multiplayer Beta during a preview party at Quixote Studios in Los Angeles May 15, 2007. Microsoft Corp. eked out a gain in quarterly net profit despite a $1 billion charge to pay for repairs to its Xbox 360 game consoles, and the company slightly raised full-year earnings and revenue forecasts. (Mario Anzuoni/Reuters)Reuters - Microsoft Corp posted a 7
percent gain in net profit as demand for its Office software
and improved results from its online arm more than compensated

(TechWeb) TechWeb - Company officials say Tuesday's reports were a result of a typo in an e-mail to developers.Did you know that Vista means a distant view or prospect, especially one seen through an opening, as between rows of buildings or trees. This is also something to look at on The Stupidity Of Blocking Firefox Users Ferin alerts us to a story at Slashdot about some new campaign among some websites to block Firefox users. To be honest, it’s tough to know how real this is. The actual site is down from the Slashdot Effect, and it certainly hadn’t received much attention before. Even if it is real, it seems unlikely that many sites would sign up and take part. Most people just aren’t that stupid. However, assuming (big risk here) that the campaign is real and some sites actually are doing this, it’s worth explaining why it makes no sense. The complaints are basically that Firefox users “spend less” and sometimes use extensions like ad block to block out ads. Even if true (and it’s only a small percentage of people who use ad block), that makes no sense if you understand the bigger picture. First of all, they tell people to go use other browsers — but if those people aren’t going to click on ads anyway, then they’re still not going to click on ads from other browsers.

Just like with the full vs. partial RSS debate, people need to get past the idea that every single visitor needs to be monetized. Instead, recognize the indirect benefits of having more users. Even if a Firefox user doesn’t buy something or click on an ad, he or she may tell someone else about the site and they may click on an ad or buy something. Word of mouth is an ongoing process — and even if someone doesn’t directly contribute to the revenue of a site, the fact that they potentially could cause others to drive revenue is the key. For example, here at Techdirt, we make our money by connecting companies that need insightful analysis with the experts in the Techdirt Insight Community for collaborative analysis and by providing news and trend analysis to all sorts of companies, large and small. Techdirt, the blog, helps promote those services — even if the vast majority of our readers never pay for either service. However, they’ve helped make Techdirt incredibly popular, driving additional brand recognition and helping us sell a lot more from the corporate side of the business. So even though only a tiny percentage of our readers provide revenue, there’s tremendous benefit in getting as many others aware of us and reading the blog as possible.Did you know that Blocking means a large building divided into separate units, such as apartments.

YouTube Coming to LG Cell Phones (PC World)

Filed under: Uncategorized — gates @ 10:43 am

Please refer to this information PC World - The ability to view and upload videos to YouTube is coming to some LG Electronics Inc. cell phones later this year. Somthing common in Memorium: The 30 Second TV Spot The Washington Post has an article discussing the supposed death of the 30-second TV commercial, noting that with so many other advertising options these days, combined with the rise of DVRs and commercial skipping, many companies (and TV networks) are looking at alternatives to the 30-second commercial. Of course, calling the 30-second spot dead is going too far. After all, many people still love good commercials. They watch the Super Bowl just for the commercials. They watch TV shows promoting the best commercials and they’re even willing to seek out good commercials (especially if they’re also available online). The point isn’t that the 30-second spot has lost its effectiveness. It’s just that now that it has competition, advertisers need to recognize that there is no captive audience any more — so if they want to get attention, they need to work for it. They can’t just expect people to sit back and accept whatever is thrown at them. That’s not a bad thing. In fact, it should mean that the 30-second spots that live on should be a lot more interesting an effective.Did you know that Second means a brief interval of time; a moment. See Synonyms at moment.
