You’ve Got Video
Forbes – Nov 15, 2005
But the company also sees value in making its own stuff–as long as it doesn’t cost too much. “We’re not trying to replicate mainstream production,” says Jim Bankoff, who heads up AOL’s programming, “We are trying to fill gaps in mainstream production, where [licensing content] is not as economical as doing it ourselves. “AOL has been tinkering on and off with home-grown video since 1994. Yahoo! had played around with its own video offerings, most notably a financial news channel, during the last dot-com boom, but pulled the plug in 2002. The portal is once again starting to build up its own content–it has hired a war correspondent and 11 personal finance columnists–but so far hasn’t reentered the make-your-own video business. AOL’s productions may be cheap–Bankoff says his company can make a show for less than a $1,000 a pop–but they do grab viewers. Shot in a bare-bones studio in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, AOL’s Top 11 Countdown pulled in 3.
Users Crowd into MySpace
BusinessWeek – Nov 15, 2005
and MySpace might seem strange. MySpace is a social-networking site where people form extended networks of friends who communicate on home pages loaded with text, photos, and music. It has become hugely popular as a venue for independent music, filling a void created by MTV’s shift to reality shows and hip hop. Its pages let the freewheeling nature of its members come through. Some thought the pairing with News Corp. , a media conglomerate known as the publisher of conservative publications such as The Weekly Standard and the New York Post, a bit odd. But Fox Broadcasting Company, known for shows such as Married… would censor or impinge upon MySpace. But that hasn’t happened so far, DeWolfe and Anderson say. MySpace appears to have gone about its business, rolling out a new record label that features home-grown bands. So far, predictions of MySpace’s demise have not borne out.

China embraces market reforms only as necessary and seeks to participate in global markets on its own terms. Unless compelled by need, the Chinese government is not about to embrace market reforms that could instigate popular sentiment for democratic change. Unlike 19th-century America, China’s development is not driven by largely home-grown technologies, abundant resources or skilled labor. In the 19th century, Americans either pioneered or made important contributions to steam power, the railroad, telegraph and other major technologies. The United States had the advantage of considerable resource wealth to power development, and wages were much higher than in Europe or Asia; this attracted skilled immigrants. In contrast, China is accomplishing growth with other people’s technology, on the backs of cheap labor, and is desperately dependent on Middle Eastern oil and other imported resources. It is compensating for its shortcomings, and then some, by maintaining an undervalued currency, subsidizing exports and keeping the living standards of workers artificially low.

The newest version, Xbox 360, has no intention of being a boring grown-up. But Microsoft says it has learned from some of its youthful mistakes. And after years of distancing the Xbox from its less hip progenitor _ maker of computer operating systems and spreadsheet software _ Microsoft is now more blatantly touting the console as integral to a long-term plan to dominate the connected home. "I think the thing people have to realize is that digital technology is changing the home in a profound way," said Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft’s Entertainment and Devices division and its Chief Xbox Officer. When the Xbox 360 debuts in North America.
