Tail wags the dog

Om Malik, Tuesday, April 26, 2005 at 9:15 PM PT Comments (1)

Business Week cover on blogs, proof that tail is wagging the dog. I hope like BoSox, the Business Week team breaks the cover curse… but more proof coming that tail is wagging the dog. Two weeks after I said we were all going to get Internet anxiety disorder, Chairman Gates says that PC users are [...]

Juniper’s $500 Million Shopping Spree

Om Malik, Tuesday, April 26, 2005 at 12:51 PM PT Comments (4)

Given its track record, you would think that Juniper Networks would be loath to spend over half-a-billion dollars on two start-ups. Still, it shows if it wants to stay in the game, it needs to rev-up the acquisition engine, and take the likes of Cisco head on, and not just in routers. Today Juniper [...]

Big Brother of Big Redmond?

Om Malik, Tuesday, April 26, 2005 at 12:32 PM PT Comments (2)

News.com: Microsoft said Monday that it is adding the PC equivalent of a flight data recorder to the next version of Windows, in an effort to better understand and prevent computer crashes.
Okay this is supposed to be a good thing - Microsoft trying to figure out why its software or other products crash and [...]

Ten Years Later, Do We Need Streaming Radio?

Om Malik, Tuesday, April 26, 2005 at 11:17 AM PT Comments (4)

Business 2.0: Online radio’s other name might as well be “irrational exuberance.” Not a day passes when I don’t come across an announcement of yet another online radio service. And I see the excitement in the media. Despite the fact that only a couple of companies — Apple (AAPL) and Napster — have had [...]

Okay Sun Schwartz is Back On My A-List

Om Malik, Tuesday, April 26, 2005 at 10:56 AM PT Comments (1)

I really used to enjoy Jonathan Schwartz and his “different” ideas. But then he got came under the influence of the jocks, lost some of his originality and well became too corporate. Today, he reminded me why I liked him in the first place - straight talking, far seeing and politically incorrect. Today he reminds [...]

Feedster Ad Network?

Om Malik, Tuesday, April 26, 2005 at 9:49 AM PT Comments (3)

Since early this morning I have been watching Sun’s Network Computing Ads show up in most of my Feedster-powered feeds. They are tastefully unobtrusive, and effective. And Sun is a big advertiser. Them paying attention to RSS, and blogs - not bad!!! I saw them nearly a dozen times, and eventually clicked on one. Not [...]

The Mad (Wi)Max

Om Malik, Tuesday, April 26, 2005 at 9:37 AM PT Comments (1)

Since WiMAX is the flavor of the week, every news outlet has something to say about it, whether they get it or not. MIT Technology Review does a round-up, and trips up. For some odd reason, they make an assertion that Nextweb and Clearwire might already be profitable. Wow! If that is true, then its [...]

Even in Mobile, Software is King

Om Malik, Tuesday, April 26, 2005 at 9:21 AM PT Comments (1)

Last week in my Business 2.0 column, I wrote about how software was going to be a key differentiator for premium brand handset makers like Nokia and Motorola. Early examples, Lifeblog and Avvenu. More proof of this today, as Nokia and Yahoo announce a partnership. Nokia’s Series 60 phones will have Yahoo Search for [...]
