The Internet: It's the New TV

DATA POINT
The Internet: It's the New TV
Ian Austen
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/24/technology/circuits/24data.html
Television has long been a favorite way to pass time. But an annual survey by Jupiter Research showed that last year American adults spent as many hours a week in front of another screen - their computer's.
The survey of 2,231 people found that consumers spent an average of 10 hours a week on the Internet in 2004, the same amount as the year before. TV watching declined to 10 hours a week, however, from 11 in 2003.
About 35 percent of the people Jupiter surveyed said they watched less TV because of their online habit. But people with low-speed dial-up Internet connections still put in about 12 hours a week in front of the tube.
TV watching wasn't the only activity that suffered, according to the survey. Thirty-five percent of respondents said they spent less time reading books, 28 percent cut back on magazines and 26 percent picked up a newspaper less frequently.
And while e-mail messaging provides another way to keep in touch with friends and family, that also seems to be coming at the expense of at least one older technology: 28 percent of the people Jupiter surveyed said they spent less time chatting on the phone because of the Internet. Ian Austen
"world's ONLY end-to-end hard/software security solution"?! sounds GREAT; however, is Infineon supplying the server market too?... or, is this statement merely a function of the Silicon-Trust consortium?
cpa, you're amazing
RIGHT ON Vader: WORKED GREAT FOR CUSTER! - "As some famous general once said: "when surrounded and hopelessly outnumbered, you have but one decision to make...ATTACK!"
cmf, "another licensing deal"?!! CARE TO DESCRIBE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ANY WAVE LICENSING DEALS? ANY LICENSING FEES?!!
guv, the dell news PROPELLED wave 25%?... i think all that will get wavx to $5+ will be hard data reflecting activation and substantial usage of wave's products, AND definable relative per-trnsactional valuation of wave's IP.
cash in the bank, pal. that's what matters now.
guv, "one more good PR from WAVE"? sorry but, demos', pilots, resellers etc. etc. and not one PR yet has been "good" in terms of realized revenue.
"and they will be on many o' radar scopes."... don't hold your breath, IMHO
world's largest technology resellers... no complaint, BUT when Wave has a resellers listing like this [of Solid Data Systems], THEN Wave’s success will be irrefutably confirmed. Seemingly on the cusp, Wave's not there YET, however.
For now, aside from what appear to be shelf-space placements of Wave’s wares – and not even highlighted at that – Wave’s resellers’ list is pretty meager:

"The new 'Buy Direct' program is a key part of our overall goal to enable higher performance at a lower cost of ownership," said Michael Harding, Director of Marketing for Solid Data Systems. "The storefront provides fast, easy access to our value-priced products which provide a quick-fix for otherwise very expensive application performance problems."
Solid Data's online product catalog supports payment with major cards, and plans are to remain focused on entry-level solid-state disk appliances. The Buy Direct program is a complement to Solid Data's full-service channel of global integrators, value-added resellers and industry-specific solution providers, which includes Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Sun Microsystems, ITOCHU Technology/CTC, LogicaCMG and Telcordia Technologies.

big trends in 2005
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/20/business/yourmoney/20sund.html?th
As I.T. Goes, So Goes Forrester?
By LAURA RICH
ORRESTER RESEARCH made a name for itself during the dot-com surge in the late 1990's by selling research that promised to decode the onslaught of new technologies for businesses. When the Internet bubble burst, sending much of the technology industry into a long recession, Forrester was hardly immune: its stock price tumbled, along with those of many tech companies, though it has come back somewhat in the last two years.
Today, Forrester, based in Cambridge, Mass., remains a significant technology research business, exceeded only by Gartner Inc., which had six times the revenue last year. Forrester's chief executive, George F. Colony, spoke recently about current trends in technology - like radio frequency identification tags, or RFID, used to identify things like products or pets - as well as consolidation in the research field and his ho-hum attitude toward Google. Following are excerpts from the conversation.
Q. What are the big trends in 2005?
A. There are some real fires burning here. RFID in the retail space - that's a fire burning. You cannot ignore this. You're going to have to spend money, make change, change your organization, change your process, no doubt about it. On the back ends of all companies, there's a trend we call "organic I.T.," which says we're moving away from big proprietary systems toward much cheaper systems built from cheap components based on standards.
Q. Forrester estimates that I.T. spending will grow 7 to 8 percent this year. Will your company's revenue also grow that fast?
A. We're not releasing any guidance so far, but leave it at this: Hey, this increase in spending is going to help our business. Just leave it at that.
Q. But as a rule, in the past, have your revenue increases followed the increases across the board?
A. We've tended to grow faster than tech spending.
Q. How does that happen?
A. Forrester, as it turns out, as it comes out of the recession, is really a portfolio company. We actually sell now four sets of products. We sell research, we are in the data business, we sell consulting, and the last part of our business is what we call community: we have a business called Oval, which is building boards of executives worldwide whom we bring together to solve problems and share solutions.
Q. Could your clients be involved in several of your portfolio areas?
A. Absolutely. Clients who are fully engaged with us - we call them "hitting for the cycle," it's a baseball term. That would mean they buy all four from us. In fact, some do; it's probably less than 5 percent at this point, but many more are doing it now.
Q. You advise some companies that sell hardware and software, and others that rely on your advice about what hardware and software to buy. Have you taken steps to prevent conflicts of interest?
A. If a vendor becomes a client, we will tell them upfront: "Look, you will get no special treatment - zero. We are making calls as we see them." Because our value proposition falls precipitously if we do not do that. We have to make the calls.
Q. Let's talk about Google. You came out against it to some degree last year, citing competition from Microsoft, Yahoo and AOL. But Google has done well. Were you wrong?
A. This is how I saw it: that Google has three major challenges in front of it. No. 1 is competition. They have a lot of money, a lot of power and they want Google's business, so probably No. 1 for Google is competition. Problem 2 for Google is what I call "switching costs." There are no switching costs to move from one search engine to another. Before Google, I used AltaVista. I changed to Google in about 27 seconds. I will leave Google in about 27 seconds. The third problem is, Google is a fantastic technology for a page-oriented, HTML-based Internet, which is what we have today. The problem is, we're not going to stay in a page-oriented world.
Q. That assumes that Google wouldn't be able to adapt. And we're still going to need to search through all the information out there.
A. I'm just saying, if the library's changed the way it's organized, the way you search will be different. The old card catalog won't work as well.
Q. Your industry is consolidating. Your primary competitor, Gartner, recently bought META; last year, you acquired Giga. Is there enough business for you and Gartner?
A. It's like complex brain surgery. To get one opinion is probably not the right way to go. So there are two opinions to be had out there, and we're one of them. We don't care if we're the first opinion or second opinion, but there are only two to be had - and we're one of them.
Wildman, OPERATIVE WORD: "based on what they've said"... past performance is not guarantee of future [performance]... however, Wave has not yet delivered on past indications of imminent revenue opportunity(ies).
that said, i recognize much is apparently poised for success. however, i refuse to accept that it's in the bag.
Wildman, w/all dou respect, you're wrong: "If the industry got behind a campaign of a more secure PC for consumers, I think it would sell like hotcakes." ...and, jusy WHO would those secure PCs "for consumers" be doing business with?! IF NOT FOR A SECURED NETWORK OF COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIALM BUSINESSES FIRST!!! WHO WOULD THE MINIONS OF THE WORLD TRANSACT WITH?! think, only that the ebays et al. are but a scant fraction of global commerce!!!!
"Some sites are working well"?! sorry, but Wave's very poorly positioned on Dell's website -- not easily found; can't easily buy anything-Wave; and, only the obssessive here on "DD" veiw it as a "grand-opening", when, in fact, it's merely a solid indicator that Wave is in bed w/Dell. still yet not a revenue-producing outlet; not until it's prominant on Dell.
Email re: Dell on-line ordering of ETS
My email to Wave:
Good afternoon,
As a long term shareholder I would like to extend my excitement seeing that Wave is making good progress with Dell being the latest high point.
At the same time I am flabbergasted that it is virtually impossible to order the ETS, Dell Edition 1.0 via the Dell website. I have spent a couple of hours specifying a Latitude D810 notebook but have come up empty finding a way to the ETS software. Still looking...
Can you give me any insight why this particular software can not be ordered on line from Dell...or am I missing something?
Best regards
Answer from Wave's Brian Berger:
We are working with our partners to get the links repaired. We are hopefull that all the sites will be accurately showing our products shortly. Some of the sites are working well, while others are in need of a refresh.
Thanks for the note, we are aware of the noted issues.
Sincerely,
Brian Berger

MSN is the exclusive online provider of the official Times Square New Year's Eve 2005 celebration. Starting around 6 p.m. EST, when organizers light and raise the world-famous New Year's Eve Ball atop One Times Square, and continuing through the ball drop at midnight, MSN Video viewers will be able to select from three streams that will capture all the revelry. The webcast will end at 12:15 a.m. In addition to the Times Square New Year's Eve world feed and individual environment cameras, MSN will host the first ever Times Square New Year's Eve 2005 webcast with New York City's own Z100 radio personality Romeo leading the festivities. The collaboration between the Times Square Alliance, Countdown Entertainment, Clear Channel Entertainment TV and MSN allows millions to share in the excitement of the 100th anniversary of the New Year's Eve celebration at Times Square. Limelight Networks will support the streaming video for this unique online experience.
"The Times Square 2005 MSN webcast demonstrates how interactive digital media can enable people to not only share but participate in the excitement," said Adam Sohn, director of MSN. "It illustrates how digital media can provide coverage of live events beyond what a viewer can get on TV."
"The Internet has become a widely accepted medium for viewers around the world to access live entertainment," said Erik Gabler, vice president of business development for Limelight Networks. "We are excited to support this trend by delivering high-resolution video streams across our scalable distribution platform on New Year's Eve."
"Times Square has always been a place where cutting-edge communication technologies are unveiled, from the advent of the famous news 'zipper,' which announced the end of World War II and was unveiled on the New York Times Building in 1928, to the first Jumbotron in the 1980s," said Tim Tompkins, president of the Times Square Alliance, which, with Countdown Entertainment, co-produces New Year's Eve. "So we're thrilled to be taking this next step with the world's technology leader, Microsoft."
The Times Square 2005 MSN Video webcast will break periodically to stream advertisements live from select companies, offering advertisers a new way to reach an audience that was previously available only via broadcast TV.

blithering, SO, is this 'Xpress/TVTonic's domain?
24601, any idea where the "screenshots" of apparent Dell .ppt slides came from -- i.e., does someone have the whole presentation?
thanks Dolla
volume's a favorable indicator ONLY when the trend is accompanied by an increase in price -- MORE BUYS THAN SELLS -- don't you understand that snack?! high volume on a trend accompanied by an decrease in price is A BAD SIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey blathering "Dell hooking up with wavx is bigger than is currently indicated in the share price." in fact, NO, it's not. when there's stats on Dell corp. IT contracts using wave's ETS, THEN there'll be basis for shareprice movement, NOT BEFORE.
thanks Weby; however, there was link to a Dell powerpoint prez that stated "highly recommends"
Alladinator, long as the TPMs are shipping in quantity, i think the uptake in activation/implementation of trusted networks will ocurr very rapidly ... w/Dell highly recommending ETS at 20 bucks a pop, Wave'll become a must-have housekeeping utility.
Dell "highly recommends" Wave's ETS - anyone have a link to that presentation, wherein this Dell recommendation was made?
Using Dell Technology, Health System Decreases Patient Wait Time and Enhances Patient Care
Dell PowerEdge servers, Laptops and Axims
Monday February 14, 11:05 am ET
MediLogistics Electronic Bed-Management System, Dell Notebooks to aid in Bedside Diagnosis; Expected to Improve Patient Care, Staff Efficiency
ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 14, 2005-- Dell (NASDAQ:DELL - News) has helped St. Luke's Episcopal Health System in Houston launch a comprehensive set of technology programs that are expected to dramatically improve the system's ability to serve patients, while making it one of the most technologically advanced care centers in the United States.
Chief among these projects is a new electronic bed-management system that allows members of the staff to manage the inventory of available hospital beds, helping to ensure that patients are admitted more quickly to the hospital. BedCentral by MediLogistics utilizes St. Luke's secure wireless infrastructure to deliver web-based content from Dell PowerEdge(TM) servers to Dell Axim(TM) handhelds. The system gives the hospital staff access to important patient information in real-time, from the moment patients are admitted to the hospital, to when they're discharged.
For example, as soon as a patient has been discharged or transferred, environmental teams are automatically alerted and dispatched to rooms and beds needing service. Staff members update the information using their Dell Axims when the room has been cleaned and prepared. This new information is immediately uploaded into the hospital system, giving Patient Access Services the information needed to make admission decisions.
In addition to the bed-management project, Dell and St. Luke's have completed a variety of other technology projects, including:
a powerful, secure wireless network that allows hospital caregivers to access electronic patient records at the point of care using Dell Axim handhelds
a comprehensive portal running on Dell PowerEdge servers allowing physicians and staff to view and update patient information at all times
use of Dell notebooks on mobile carts to aid in bedside diagnosis, allowing hospital personnel to access vital statistics, images, test results and patient demographics from anywhere in the hospital.
"Our hospital has invested heavily in clinical information technology and infrastructure, but if we are unable to admit patients, our technology investment is not realized," said Kay Carr, chief technology officer of St. Luke's. "Every department at St. Luke's must have access to real-time patient information in order for us to provide first-rate patient care."
"Medical teams can't care for patients while they're in the waiting room," said Karen Myers, vice president of nursing for St. Luke's, "and patients can only be admitted once our housekeeping teams have prepared beds and rooms. Now, through our electronic bed management system, all teams have the information they need to admit patients more quickly and begin the healing process."
About St. Luke's Episcopal Health System
St. Luke's Episcopal Health System comprises the flagship St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital in the Texas Medical Center, founded in 1954 by the Episcopal Diocese of Texas; St. Luke's Community Medical Center-The Woodlands, opened in 2003; St. Luke's Episcopal Health Charities, the largest charity in Houston devoted to health; and Kelsey-Seybold Management, LLP, overseeing 21 area clinic locations. St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital is home to the Texas Heart Institute, founded in 1962 by Denton A. Cooley, MD, and consistently ranked among the top 10 cardiology and heart surgery centers in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. St. Luke's was the first hospital in Texas named a Magnet hospital for nursing excellence and the Health System has been recognized by FORTUNE as among "100 Best Companies to Work For" (2002, 2004, 2005) and by the Houston Business Journal as the top healthcare employer in Houston for three consecutive years.
