Tivo and Digital Media Servers

April 9, 2003

Back when they came out, I said that tools like Tivo and Replay could change the face of tele­vi­sion watch­ing. A cou­ple of years ago, I assumed that game boxes would be the new home media cen­ter. What I missed, though, was the end run that Tivo was doing around the game com­pa­nies. With yesterday’s announce­ment that they would […]

Paid Content on a tiered structure

Reports that AT&T is plan­ning on intro­duc­ing a pre-paid card for online con­tent show some poten­tial new devel­op­ments in the online space.

With these new gam­ing sta­tions enter­ing the mar­ket, a new war is start­ing and in the end, it is a war […]

Boo’s Rebirth

October 15, 2000

They say that fash­ion is cycli­cal. If that’s so, Boo.com’s return wouldn’t come as a sur­prise. As you know, Boo.com was one of the biggest Inter­net fail­ures, burn­ing through over $100 mil­lion in invest­ments before clos­ing its doors. How­ever, Boo’s story did not end with the site clos­ing. Fashionmall.com bought the domain name and is set […]
