technology 2005 Bill Butler, Tim Moses, Scott Kozicki Hosted by Bill Butler, Scott, Kozicki and Tim Moses, this show aims to discuss new or interesting technology on a weekly basis. This show is based in Nashville, TN. http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Sitemason Content Management System http://www.sitemason.com/ bill@butler.net (Bill Butler) Tim brings up the easy topic of the video iPod release. The conversation turns to a discussion of the revenue model behind providing video in this model and then on to cable and phone companie plans for bringing high-speed into houses. What happens to local affiliates? Where does local news head in the future? Bill covers Goowy, a Flash-based desktop that includes some basic tools, like email and calendaring. Since it is Flash, you can get to your desktop and files from any browser, so long as it is on Windows. That should change at some point. Rick rounds out the Apple announcement by bringing up the new iMac G5 and the new software, Front Row and Photo Booth, included with it. Front Row is a media center for your Mac with the feel of an iPod made to take advantage of the remote included with the new iMac. Photo Booth takes pictures with the built-in camera and includes a variety of basic effects. Tim points out the sexiness of iPods and iBooks. http://www.sitemason.com/newspub/j0RbEI?id=25108 Bill Butler Tim brings up the easy topic of the video iPod release.

Rick mentions the New York Times article about podcasting and haltingly (due to a bad connection) speculates on the long term plans of the large media companies jumping into podcasting. Where is the money? Tim talks about Insteon as a replacement of X-10 for home automation and then follows with Salling Software's Clicker for turning your Bluetooth phone into a flexible 2-way remote for your computer. Bill brings up Hotmail as an example of use of Ajax and then follows with Google Home. Bill talks about the idea of building a massively-detailed profile from all the things you do online to be used to find things you like from very like-minded people who match your profile. Rick says Google estimates that it would take 300 years to index all the information they have not already indexed. http://www.sitemason.com/newspub/j0RbEI?id=24963 Bill Butler Bill relays his experiences setting up Myth TV on his Linux box.

He uses bookmarking in del.icio.us as an example. Some of Bill's bookmarks are boingboing.net, techcrunch.com, waxy.org/links, and www.emilychang.com/go/ehub. Tim mentions China and games. Lately, China announced its plans to limit online games. Players who play more than three hours are penalized by having their characters crippled in level or buffs. Tim spends a good deal of time describing the uselessness of alternative home power in Tennessee where power is so cheap, much to his chagrin. Rick talks about things pissing Microsoft off: Google working with Sun to elevate the profile of Open Office and Java, HP putting Netscape on machines instead of IE. Bill poses the question of who will win, Steve Jobs or music studios when it comes to charging more than $.99 per song. Rick responds with "Steve Jobs will bend but get it right in the end." Tim votes Steve Jobs won't give in. http://www.sitemason.com/newspub/j0RbEI?id=24809 Bill Butler Bill starts with talk of web 2.0. He uses bookmarking in del.icio.us as an example.

Fines for selling NC-17-rated movies were notably absent. Also, from the Best Stuff website, the ANYCOM Bluetooth Stereo Headset/Microphone. Bill mentions eventful.com as a new events site, then off to Dubai with their custom islands and full-scale wonders of the world. DTV for the Mac has been released and ties into broadcast machine at participatoryculture.org. Bittorrent raises money. Rick discusses HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray and then compares it to the failure of SA-CD and Audio DVDs. Yet again, the show deteriorates at the end, this time, with a discussion of favorite TV shows and then Bill forgets his name. http://www.sitemason.com/newspub/j0RbEI?id=24728 techtuesday@nashville.net 00:10 Tim covers some articles he heard on the PCGamer Podcast, including a bill to fine anyone who sells an M-rated game to a minor.

Tim suspects that the progress of iBooks and the lack of progress in PowerBooks points to the next major announcement from Apple will be upgraded intel-based PowerBooks. Rick and Bill compare the old Apple Knowledge Navigator video to what has come to pass. Tim goes back on his statement about the over-hype of the Apple announcement of the nano iPod, which is really cool. Gizmo Project gets chat by adding Jabber to its client. Some talk ensues about Time Warner wanting to sell AOL. There is some reminiscing about early AOL, eWorld, AppleLink and other online services related to Apple. There is a quick survey of old online services, including GEnie, CompuServe, Prodigy, AOL, eWorld. Everyone belonged to at least four. Talk of old services brings on a round of reminiscing, including old massively multiplayer games like the Air Warrior flight simulator and the MUD, Island of Kesmai. The podcast deteriorates into more reminiscing about old computers before Bill finally puts an end to it. http://www.sitemason.com/newspub/j0RbEI?id=24503 Bill Butler 00:10 Bill discusses new Powerbook rumor and the new Roku alarm clock for MP3's.

The invitation to the announcement claimed, "1,000 songs in your pocket changed everything. Here we go again." The argument centered around whether the iPod Nano, as amazing as it is, constitutes an announcement as big as the original iPod. Bill talked about the Samsung NAND chip that is used in the new Apple iPod Nano and the announced new NAND chip that will be going into portable devices by late next year. 32GB capability in portable devices is the holy grail for next year. Scott's topic was the Ebay acquisition of Skype. According to the investor documents, there was a somewhat convincing argument to use Skype to enhance their existing product, although the price is still three times what seems to make sense. Talk of what other companies may do brought up the point that Vinton Cerf was hired by Google. From there the conversation moved to Teledesic, the McCaw/Gates satellite company, and whatever happened to it. Rick covered the Oracle and Siebel merger and what that will mean. Rick commented that banks prefer homegrown solutions rather than using commercial enterprise software. Bill mentioned what he likes about iTunes 5.0. Rick returned to talk about the Motorola ROKR iTunes phone being lame which turned into bashing the US cellphone companies. http://www.sitemason.com/newspub/j0RbEI?id=24339 Bill Butler 00:10 Tim talked about the Reality Distortion Field surrounding Apple's latest announcement last week.
