Someone sent me this chart which is supposingly presented during 21st Century Communications World Forum by Marconi. Unfortunately, I could not find the sources nor the data point to support this.

The Common Sense Model
Although I missed Infocomm Technology Roadmap 2 weeks ago in Singapore (I was at ETech), the folks here have recorded the session. So earlier this week, I spend sometime watching John Seely Brown speech on The Common Sense Model. 1. Supply Push –> Demand Pull, e.g. Mass Media –> Search Driven Ads 2. New Forms […]
iTunes streaming over Internet
Remember my personal iTunes server I setup last year? I upgraded it a couple days ago to daapd-0.2.4 which support playlist. And I also added iTune streaming over the Internet so now I can listen to my music library whereever I am, thanks to Rendezous Proxy ;-)
Juniper bought Kagoor
The latest news is Juniper snaped Kagoor up for 64.5M. See articles on Red Herring and Forbes. Actually 64.5M might be considered cheap considering the potential of Kagoor of its session border controller. But what could this means?

And of course, the subsequent suspension of various states decision by FCC. Most propongates of IP Telephony considered Naked DSL as absolutely neccessary to get VoIP adoption. Afterall, why […]
Yahoo! Creative Common Search Engine
Wohoo! Yahoo released a Creative Common Search Engine! Actually, this isn’t the first. Creative Commons actually also developed their own search engine. They mention it is based on Semantic Web (yah!) at ETech last week. But Yahoo! probably has the ability to reach more people and bring awareness to Creative Commons. Now, all eyes is […]
Mobile Gadget Form Factors
Russell has a very good article about all the different mobile gadget form factors. I like the diagram he has particularly as it is a fairly good summary of all the form factors we seen so far. We already see devices that ‘transform’ itself to multiple form factors. For example, the Motolora MPx or Nokia […]
