This week ends with one of the most important days of the year. It's called "Black Friday," and it could decide the future of a lot of battles and tell us whether this will be a good or bad season economically. There are two big battles that may actually be decided this week based on initial sales n...
I've been covering the Leopard launch for the last three weeks and will now wrap it up. There have been some issues with the new OS, but nothing critical, and it appears to be a near-flawless launch. Moving to a more interesting battle, Black Friday is coming up and it looks like the HD DVD folks ar...
I think that, for all of us, the battle for the next generation of DVD technology has gotten really old. This week, we'll look at why DreamWorks and Paramount backed HD-DVD, effectively assuring that Blu-ray will lose whether HD-DVD wins or not -- and it may still not win either. Rhapsody picked up ...
Last week should have been a bigger week than it was with E3, but that show is now a shadow of what it once was, and many of us struggled to pull anything meaningful out of the event. There are simply way too many lazy game developers right now, and I think that could kill this market. Sony continue...
Microsoft is in a tough position with its Xbox 360 gaming console and Xbox Live online service. The Xbox 360 has outsold its key competitors, a position it attained in part by being the first to market by several months. However, since that time it has seen a disturbing number of 360 units die via a...
Microsoft opened this year's E3 Media and Business Summit Tuesday with two major announcements -- the addition of Disney films to its Xbox Live download service for the Xbox 360 as well as its lineup of new titles for its "Games for Windows" brand, most set for release during the 2007 holiday season...
Let's just say the iPhone is the best generation-one product I can recall in the tech market -- ever -- in terms of hardware design and execution. But, much as Japan did in World War II, Apple merely stung the heck out of a number of big companies -- and most of Asia as a geographical region. It was...
YouTube is planning to test new technology that will help it identify copyrighted video content that has been uploaded onto the site illegally, according to reports. In tests with Time Warner and the Walt Disney Co., the video-sharing site will assess software developed by engineers at its parent co...
Yesterday, Bill Gates was supposed to give the best keynote talk in his history, but given I write this column the week before it is published I have no idea whether he actually delivered the goods. Steve Jobs doesn't do his thing until after the column publishes and most of you are still in the dar...
The use of cell phones at school has generated conflict between school officials, who view cell phones as a nuisance that distracts students from school activities, and parents, who say the devices let them stay in touch with their children more easily. Widespread cell phone use at schools clearly i...
Last week we saw the two big guys go at it: First Apple showed off product updates for the iPod and iTunes, and then Microsoft had the coming-out party for Zune -- its so-called iPod killer. I'd like to talk about all this first and end up discussing products I think do the best job in the media sp...
Summer is the time to relax, take in the weather and drink a Mint Julep ... right? Someone should tattoo this information on the heads of a number of executives I know because this summer has been anything but relaxing and I still haven't even seen a Mint Julep. Last week was no exception, with App...
As social networking sites such as MySpace.com continue to gain traction among today's youth, two new studies about online predators offer varying perspectives on the controversial issue. First, the results of a national survey of 1,500 young Internet users conducted by University of New Hampshire r...
ABC on Thursday said it plans to make episodes of several of its television series available online through its Web site this fall season. ABC.com conducted a streaming video trial in May and June with episodes of four series including "Lost," "Desperate Housewives," "Commander in Chief," and "Alias...
Walt Disney is adding steam to Sony's Blu-ray Disc push with its plan to release nine films in that format. Beginning Sept. 19, Buena Vista Home Entertainment will start releasing select titles, including Walt Disney Pictures' "Dinosaur" and "Eight Below," on Blu-ray. Those two movies will feature e...
Optimistic – expecting growth and new opportunities
Cautiously optimistic – hopeful but wary of challenges
