Lynne Jolitz - Lynne's Take on Tech  SCO Gets Valentine, Lessig Campaigns for "Change"Norris Partners taking SCO private, Lessig considering run for House[386BSD & Unix] Well, SCO got a big Valentine's treat last week - a $100M potential investment by the very politically-connected Stephen Norris Capital Partners (an equity firm) and their "partners from the Middle East" to lift the firm out of the morass of Chapter 11 bankruptcy and into private hands. While Linux adherents are clearly annoyed with SCO's escape from the bankruptcy abyss, the more interesting item to consider is how SNCP is going to get the kind of "bragging rights" IRR out of UNIX.What if there was a strategic need for an OS that's entirely licensed for military use? $100M would be a reasonable bet to get return on investment if 1) you had an "in" with the DOD and 2) they buy off that they need an OS qualified for strategic security reasons. I know some people might get hung up on the Middle East connection, but that would only be an issue if there was majority foreign ownership, and that can be easily handled via a domestic equity firm. Just food for thought.Also, Larry Lessig of "creative commons" fame (whom I've interviewed as well as reviewed) has announced that he is considering a run for Tom Lanto's seat against the very popular and (once again) politically-connected Jackie Speier. Larry's concern is political corruption, and given the Zeitgeist it is a serious one, but not one that has arisen recently. Several years ago Larry and I chatted about the possibility (before YouTube, mind you) of using user-generated video to create a "truth squad" to monitor political campaigns for honesty. We both could see this coming, but I think it came into fruition with the "macaca" remark blurted out by George Allen (former Republican Senator for Virginia) during a campaign stop and captured on video for the world by the intrepid (and unflappable) S. R. Sidarth. I don't vote in this district, but I must say that Larry would make this a very interesting race if he chooses to enter it. Time will tell. Posted by lynne : "Cyberbullying on the InternetLori Drew, Judith Warner, and the Broad Scope of Actions[Internet & Wireless] The Lori Drew case has hit the media this week, and the reaction is fairly universal - how could a mother behave in such a shameless narcissistic evil manner to drive a young girl to suicide? The anonymous use of the Internet and MySpace to bully this child provides the techno-grist for over-the-top analysis by doyennes of housewife journalism like Judith Warner (admittedly, I do like her style) who draws rather shaky lines between this nasty criminal weirdo and "helicopter parents" who dote on their offspring. Unfortunately, this trivializes and distracts from the centerpiece of this drama. Powerful technology like the Internet can be used by amoral predators to hunt down victims as efficiently and rapidly as normal folks use it to hunt for the best HDTV bargain.The "good old days" mantra (oh sure, bullying didn't happen before the Internet? I've got a bridge to sell you too) that pops up during this public debate is relevant only in the sense that the way we interact in society is vastly changed and enhanced by technology. Social networks like MySpace and FaceBook and business networks like LinkedIn are poor substitutes for real friendship, collegiality and love. But what if you don't have any real friendship, collegiality and love? For whatever reason one would prefer to choose (consumerism, individualism, globalism, ...), these businesses would not exist and flourish economically if there weren't so many isolated people out there looking for validation of self. While technology like the Internet facilitates new forms of social interaction, it is not the sole catalyst for such interaction. That responsibility lies within ourselves and the way we treat others in the real world.The major lament about the Internet is that it has no "controls" to prevent criminal behavior. Consider that the Internet (Arpanet for those oldsters who remember) was designed at a time when networks were few and conduct was scrupulously monitored. In the 1970's, I knew quite a few people who were very careful with their postings for fear of losing their prized university or corporate accounts. However, balancing this was the belief that academic freedom was equally important, and that disputed statements should be heard and debated - not suppressed - in other words "Cui peccare licet peccat minus" (Ovid).But in the real world, we also view actions separately from words. When words are used to torment and destroy another person, it becomes a difficult matter of law. It forces us to look at our values and behavior. How many times have you, dear reader, met with a poison-pen email or posting notable only for its vacuous viciousness and then actually met the writer and found him or her indifferent or unaware of the venom dripping from the words? I actually have on occasion, and it is very disconcerting.Anonymity on the Internet has always been a bit of a misnomer. The Internet provides for much better tracking and record-keeping than sending an old-fashioned letter and is far less regulated than phone conversations. Cookies and behavioral search give businesses like MySpace a "snapshot" on buying habits and trends worth billions of dollars. People who use these "free" services may believe they are "untraceable" but the entire focus of the business is one of tracing a caricature of the consumer. Identifying users in criminal or civil actions is simply incidental to their business, but as the RIAA actions demonstrate, the information is available.DNA analysis has revolutionized identification of criminals, but that hasn't stopped all crime. The same goes for Internet tracking. Technology changes, but the desire for justice is timeless. Posted by lynne : "Fun Friday - Nobel Peace Prize for Gore Validates Global Climate Change ConcernsSerious business in Silicon Valley, Global Warming tone poem video[Very Berkeley] Well, the Nobel Peace Prize committee decided that global climate change is important enough to award the Nobel to Al Gore and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Some are already protesting that concerns over rapid changes in the environment have nothing to do with peace, but it's pretty hard to promote peace when people start warring over rapidly-dwindling resources as drought, flooding, and loss of habitat threaten their very existence. Of course, there are many people still in denial that their lifestyle can and does impact the earth - we're actually all in this together. There are also many political and commercial interests who fear that recognition of this problem worldwide will impact their private deals before they mine out the money, and like the tobacco companies of an earlier generation feel compelled to promote and package rhetorical nonsense to muddy the waters. There is no absolution in denial, but there is vindication in an international award.Silicon Valley, the heart of technological innovation and a lot of "green" investment, has embraced the concept of global climate change and there is a great deal of investment in this area. This is a complex problem demanding real long-term commitment and funding, and since it took us a while to get to this point, it won't turn around overnight. But we're well-educated, innovative, and opportunistic, and there's a lot of gold in new clean technologies, so expect the unexpected! Until we get there, I hope you enjoy this short video "tone poem" entitled Global Warming - A Threat to our Life. It reminds us there is still hope for our world. I think the Nobel committee would agree. Posted by lynne : " |
