Although Boot Camp is pretty fantastic if you need to run a processor intensive application (or you want to play games), virtualization is the more attractive solution for users who need to access productivity applications, like Microsoft Office 2007, but don't want to have to live in the Windows environment. The two big players in the virtualization field are..http://feeds.tuaw.com/~r/weblogsinc/tuaw/~3/202968718/ Google Hires People for Feedback on Search Results - Is Anyone Surprised- December 20, 2007 TechnologyReview has published an interview with Google's Director of Research, Peter Norvig, where it's acknowledged that the search giant hires individuals to look at search results pages and provide their judgment about the quality of the results. This one part of the interview lead to a thoroughly researched blog post by Saul Hansell at the New York Times, one at watch-dog blog Google Blogoscoped and will probably be written about in many more places before the day is through (heck,...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/readwriteweb/~3/202887262/google_hires_people_for_feedba.ph... Forget Google, Watch Out For Chevron In The 700 MHz Auction- December 19, 2007 Everybody's been buzzing about the likelihood of Google bidding on the 700 MHz spectrum that's up for auction in a few weeks, that's allowed a few other interesting characters to get in on the auction below the radar. The FCC has now announced that 266 separate entities have filed to take part in the auction, so it&39;s quite a long list. So far, only 96 applications have been accepted, but the others have until January 4th to get their applications in order. Everyone knew Google was on the..http://techdirt.com/articles/20071219/014616.shtml Report: Tribune CEO Resigns- December 19, 2007 Major fallout this morning from Sam Zell's takeover of Tribune Co.: Dennis J. FitzSimons, the company's chairman and CEO, is resigning, according to the (Tribune-owned) Los Angeles Times. Some analysis: FitzSimons' resignation is not surprising, given the differences in his and Zell's management styles. Under FitzSimons, Tribune has had a highly centralized management structure; Zell is known for an entrepreneurial approach. Zell is expected to reduce corporate overhead by delegating more...http://feeds.portfolio.com/~r/portfolio/mixedmedia/~3/202804589/report-tribune-ceo-resigns VOD, 'Net connected set-top boxes, poised for massive growth- December 19, 2007 Video-on-demand, and services like it, will continue to grow more popular over the next five years, according to one financial research firm.

Getting Millions Of People Listening To Your Music, With Many Giving You Money Voluntarily, Is Dumb- December 18, 2007 Karl writes in to point out that on FortuneCNN's somewhat bizarre list of 101 Dumbest Moments in Business, number 59 is about Radiohead's decision to offer a name-your-own-price offering for its downloaded music. As CNN notes, "Can't wait for the follow-up album, 'In Debt." Ha ha. It then quotes the disputed Comscore numbers, suggesting that since only 38% of downloaders agreed to pay anything for the album, this is somehow a dumb move. I would argue that the only thing "dumb" here is the...http://techdirt.com/articles/20071217/135346.shtml Why Should XM Have To Pay The Record Labels In Order To Innovate- December 18, 2007 In a bit of unfortunate news, it appears that XM has given in and decided to settle its dispute with the record labels. The company has already settled with Universal Music, with the other major labels expected to quickly follow suit. The Reuters article incorrectly states that this was a patent infringement suit (fact checking, anyone) but it's actually a copyright issue, where the record labels were using copyright to try to prevent XM from innovating. Specifically, XM has a license so it..http://techdirt.com/articles/20071217/194457.shtml Was Web 2.0 the Result of a Suicidal Virus- December 15, 2007 Ever wonder why the Hell it appears that some of your most respected, knowledgeable and intellectually capable colleagues have completely lost their minds in all this Web 2.0 stuff I mean, perfectly sensible people totally abandoning all logic and critical thinking, and gleefully hopping on the Cluetrain to nowhere. Well, recently Edelman&39;s Steve Rubel helped bring the answer more into focus (rather ironic coming from the head of the Me2Revolution, one of PR&39;s loudest Web evangelists)...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Strumpette/~3/200819227/633-Was-Web-2.0-the-Result-of-a-Sui... Michael Arrington, Amateur Cardiologist- December 15, 2007 Two founders of blogging networks, Michael Arrington of TechCrunch and Sam Sethi of the recently folded BlogNation, have been taking shots at each other ever since Sethi either quit TechCrunch a year ago or was fired. You can read the full story on WebProNews, but it's old news to anyone who's ever been pulled under with a sinking business. Employees went unpaid, bosses broke promises, investors never showed, mean people suck.On Friday, Arrington publicly accused Sethi of causing his worker's...http://feeds.cadenhead.org/~r/workbench/~3/200812439/michael-arrington-amateur-cardiologis... MSM: we're calling you out- December 15, 2007 I understand now why readers reacted with such a vengence when the Washington Post reported two weeks ago on rumors that Barack Obama is a Muslim. The ombudsman weighed in last week. The Left is not about sit still for another swiftboating, and one way to make sure it can't happen again is to take the MSM to task when it sits on the sidelines, watching and reporting on manufactured conflict without sifting out the truth. This week in the flap about Obama's teenage drug...http://blogs.opml.org/amyloo/2007/12/15#msmWereCallingYouOut |
