  • Microsoft & Akamai's 'Smooth Streaming': How Will It Impact the Market? [View article]
    Given that Silverlight is not likely to see much use, this announcement is unlikely to impact either company.

  • Microsoft Should Be Clear of Infringing Akamai's 703 Patent  [View article]
    So what if MSFT infringes? So they pay a license fee-- usually no big deal.

    I looked at Cisco. Thier numbers look good at firts glance, but they seem to be moving in directions where they won't gain traction, like IPTV.

  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [View article]
    "GM to boost ethanol-car lineup." Are they insane? Another reason to short GM. Ethanol is an OBVIOUS bubble; there isn't enough arable land in the US to meet demand.

  • Will Apple Blow Past Netflix, Amazon and Microsoft With A Fox Deal? [View article]
    "Netflix is morphing into something very big."

    The apatosaurus was also very big.

    Seriously, though, the future of the movie business is hard to call. Continued success for TiVo seems unlikely; they are bleeding cash. Growth for Netflix is possible. Renting of High Def Blu Ray discs seems one way things could go (I think we all know HD DVD is a non-starter) The continued existance of AMZN UnBox and XBox Video seems extremely clouded. UnBox does not support portable devices and XBox consoles are wholly unsuitable for movies due to noise issues.

    Thus, Apple TV MAY represent a decent compromise. Very high convenience factor, once set up. But not true HD, at this time due to bandwidth constraints.
