How Broadband Hit Your TV
This is from the Reuters blogs: Quincy Smith, the head of CBS’ interactive operations, is poaching top tech companies for talent, he says. Recent CBS hires have come from eBay, Google, Yahoo, Apple, Oracle, Netscape, Sun, and Microsoft, among others. “Media is finally starting to hire real tech people,” he says. Why?

Movies, Broadband and Television
Some time ago as broadband began to bite George Lucas said “We don’t want to make movies. We’re about to get into television. As far as Lucasfilm is concerned, we’ve moved away from the feature film thing, because it’s too expensive and it’s too risky.
I found this interesting at the time but it has hardly […]
Something On (Broadband) TV Earlier
I posted this a hwile back but revived it as part of the weekend’s umming and aahing about broadband television. By the way I think BT at some stage tried this kind of thing too before settling on BT Vision…..

Edison Chen, Broadband TV and the Digital Fame Game
I wonder could Edison Chen’s story have gone so big without broadband television or broadband Internet?

It’s the kind of headline that’s had me dragging my sorry eyes around the netherworld of the web the last few days.
There seems to be a huge list of people who think they know how to do it - my own little insight into their […]
China Carbon Neutral?
I have a high opinion of China’s ability to negotiate the diplomatic and environmental hurdles ahead - I met with Robert Lai from The China Cyber Recreation District a few months back and what impressed me about him most was the sense of political maturity. Browsing through links on the carrot revolution I found […]
The Big Blogging Net
So a week of blogging around the world might be in order. No Edison Chen, no Scarlett. Just another attempt to connect.
I remember posting this a while back.
I’m curious how the massive multitude of bloggers becomes a smaller number of networks. I believe we can only understand blogging if we can get some sense […]
Ankari Holder and Emilia Badaracco
There are doubters of course but regularly Second Life brings additional interest into my day.
Emilia Badaracco is a great jazz singer and also goes by the name of Ankari Holder. She played at the Ten Cubed launch back in January.
What is it about these chance virtual meeetings that make them extra special? I mean special […]
