<title>New article: The ongoing battle between cable TV and TiVo</title>
<link>http://www.computingunplugged.com/newsitems/00039619.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[By David Gewirtz
Are cable television companies purposely or inadvertently sabotaging their customers' TiVo installations? This question came to mind a few weeks ago when our local cable company performed an &quot;upgrade&quot; that virtually disabled my family's TiVo personal video recorders.

In this article, I'll explore that question as the basis for a case study on industry flexibility. I'll also look at specific solutions for the problems we encountered, and possible solutions for the industry as a whole.

A personal video recorder (or PVR), also known as a digital video recorder (or DVR), is a device that records live television for later viewing. TiVo is one of the most popular brands of DVR and is a product I've used at home since the first model came out back in 1999.


&quot;We could no longer be assured of getting each new episode of our favorite shows.&quot;

For me, personally, a DVR is an indispensable device. I like television, but because of my work schedule and active lifestyle, I'm never able to watch my favorite shows when they're broadcast. Even before DVRs came out, I used all sorts of jury-rigged methods to time-shift my TV watching, including some elaborate tape swapping of those old VHS tapes and Rube Goldberg-like triggering of ancient VCRs. TiVo made things a lot more pleasant.

Denise and I have a fleet of TiVo devices. About two weeks ago, her TiVo (yes, we have &quot;his&quot; and &quot;hers&quot; TiVos) stopped recording her favorite programs properly. A week later, my TiVo evidenced the same symptoms.

<title>Sony lost over $3B on PS3</title>
<link>http://www.computingunplugged.com/newsitems/00039608.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Think you paid too much for your Playstation 3? Don't expect any sympathy from Sony. In the company's fiscal 2008 annual report, Sony revealed that they've now lost roughly $3.3 billion on the Playstation 3 since its launch. That breaks down to $2.16 billion in 2007, followed by a notably smaller but equally daunting $1.16 billion loss in 2008.The reason? Pricing the console below its production cost. That's right--that hefty $599 you paid for the PS3 back when it first launched was significantly cheaper than the cost of producing it in the first place, and while the retail price has come down some, the losses keep piling up.Read | Permalink]]></description>

As noted at the time, AP execs said all that, only to immediately follow up with plans that looked like it was trying to become a new type of gatekeeper. It didn't help that the company had also just sued VeriSign's Moreover division for linking to AP stories along with a title and a tiny excerpt. That sort of thing is clearly fair use--but the AP doesn't seem to think so. And now, it's expanding its target list. Rather than just going after the big aggregators (surprisingly, Google settled), it appears that the Associated Press is going after bloggers for merely posting a linked headline and a tiny snippet of text from the article.Read | Permalink]]></description>

<title>Supercomputing Power Hits the Desktop, Minus the Software</title>
<link>http://feeds.wired.com/~r/wired/techbiz/it/~3/316400664/gpu_power</link>
<description><![CDATA[
The PC industry's two largest graphics companies released new top-of-the-line models this week. The new graphics processors will bring not just better videogame performance, but will also turn ordinary desktop PCs into the equivalent of supercomputers -- if programmers can figure out how to take advantage of the chips' massively parallel architectures. 



"We're talking about every man, woman and child basically having a supercomputer on their desk," says Jon Peddie, a graphics-industry veteran and president of Jon Peddie Research.



AMD, which acquired graphics maker ATI in 2006, released two new chips, the Radeon HD 4850 and the Radeon HD 4870. Nvidia, the other dominant player in the space, unveiled its new GeForce GTX 260 and GeForce GTX 280 processors.



According to both companies, the new series of chips feature performance measured in teraflops (that's a trillion floating point operations per second), billions of transistors, hundreds of cores and new architectures that, according to industry analysts, could have a staggering effect on not only Crysis frame rates, but also how and what we use our computers for.



Indeed, cheap access to such formidable computing power could mean that, over the next few years, we will see an explosion of new independent research along with profound new discoveries, analysts say. Additionally, new consumer applications will be able to draw on the graphics processing unit (GPU) for even more eye-watering special effects and even occasionally useful visual information.



"We'll start to get things like real-time mapping from Google that incorporates all manner of real world information," says Bob O'Donnell, an analyst at IDC. "All of this is going to bubble up more and more." 



As Peddie observes, it was only 11 years ago that the U.S. government spent approximately $33 million to build ASCI Red, one of the first supercomputers to achieve 1 teraflop. The new graphics chips offer similar power to the 1997-era supercomputer for a fraction of the cost.



"Now we can go down to Fry's or Best Buy and buy a graphics board that has 1 teraflop of processing power for $600 or less," says Peddie.



Getting that processing power to work for the average computer user, however, remains a challenge.



With the exception of a few games, most applications still aren't made to take advantage of the GPU's power. That's because GPUs are made for parallel processing (crunching lots of bits of data at the same time, then assembling the results all at once), whereas most current software programs are written to be executed serially (operating on one piece of data at a time, then proceeding to the next step).



That is starting change, albeit slowly, thanks to new initiatives designed to spur parallel processing.



Just last week, Khronos, the industry consortium behind the OpenGL standard, announced what it calls Open Computing Language, or OpenCL. With this new heterogeneous computing initiative, the group hopes to come up with a standardized (and universal) way of programming parallel computing tasks.



In many ways, it's the Holy Grail developers have been waiting for: a hardware-agnostic standard that unleashes the power of multi-core CPUs and GPUs using a familiar language. 



Apple is throwing its weight behind parallel processing too, and last week committed to using the OpenCL specification as part of its next operating system release, Snow Leopard. 



Other companies, including AMD, Nvidia, ARM, Freescale, IBM, Imagination, Nokia, Motorola, Qualcomm, Samsung and Texas Instruments have joined the OpenCL working group.



If initiatives like OpenCL gain momentum, the days of researchers applying for grants and traveling across the country to use a given university or research facility's super computer may well be at an end. Similarly, distributed computing projects like Folding@Home and Seti@Home may see an huge boost in performance by using hundreds of thousand of computers equipped with these new powerful processors.



Of course, if curing cancer or looking for aliens isn't your thing, we can also be fairly certain that Crysis will really scream on any system equipped with these new GPUs.

<title>Prediction Markets Are Hot, But Here&#x27;s Why They Can Be So Wrong</title>
<link>http://feeds.wired.com/~r/wired/techbiz/it/~3/303425437/st_essay</link>
<description><![CDATA[
The primary season is drawing to a close. The general election looms. And that roaring sound in your ears? It's the hurricane of predictions swirling around the process. Some of the forecasts come from self-proclaimed experts, some from polls. Here's another prophecy: This year, you'll also be hearing a lot more from the latest trendy political handicapping tool &mdash; the prediction market.

As you've no doubt heard, prediction markets are online trading sites that let people buy and sell shares tied to, among myriad other things, the fortunes of candidates and parties. The price of these shares, in turn, reveals which candidates are most likely to win in a real election. For the 2008 political season, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, and the National Journal have all started running their own trading sites. These join the ranks of established political markets such as Intrade, founded in 1999, and the venerable Iowa Electronic Markets, launched in 1988.

Prediction markets can be spookily accurate. The Iowa Electronic Markets, for example, has proven more accurate than the polls at least 75 percent of the time since its inception. But like the Democrats, prediction markets will come into the 2008 general election battered from a tough primary season. The big blow came in January, when the markets gave Barack Obama a 91 percent chance of beating Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire. Clinton won, leaving prediction-market boosters looking every bit as chuckleheaded as the pollsters and 24-hour-news blowhards. "Nobody Knows Anything," New York Times columnist Paul Krugman titled a blog post the next day. "But to be more specific, the prediction markets &mdash; which you see, again and again, touted as having some mystical power to aggregate information &mdash; know no more than the conventional wisdom."

What went wrong? After all, markets are renowned for picking up on last-minute swings like the one that swept Clinton to victory. That's why they are so useful and why they seem to have cropped up everywhere in the past few years. Corporations from Google to Chrysler are running markets to tap the collective knowledge of employees. There are trading sites for sports, Hollywood, even avian flu. Have we all been led astray?

Sort of. Like financial markets, prediction markets are big information processors, distilling the collective wisdom of their traders. But the success of any market depends upon the stakes and the pool of traders. Most prediction markets aren't anywhere near as robust as those they emulate on Wall Street. "They are thin, trading volumes are anemic, and the dollar amounts at risk are pitifully small," market analyst Barry Ritholtz wrote in January. That opens them up to all kinds of problems as information processors. Political markets, for example, have a lot of political junkies but few real insiders or outsiders, so they're not very good at catching something the polls might miss. This is a problem in other markets as well. When Justin Wolfers, a Wharton School economist and leading prediction-market specialist, and two other economists studied Google's employee market, they found that traders tended to make choices similar to those of their pod-mates and neighbors.

So how can prediction markets be rectified? For starters, they need to have real stakes. There is some debate about whether this means money (Wolfers suggests it might not be necessary) or something else, like reputation. But cash is definitely the surest way to grease a market. In June 2007, 25 economists signed a letter urging legislators to grant these markets "safe harbor" from Internet gambling regulations, given the sites' value as forecasting tools.

Beyond this, it's important to improve the pool of traders. According to economists, this requires a certain alchemy of expertise and stupidity. With more experts and insiders, the markets can get out ahead of conventional wisdom. But forecasting also needs more so-called noise traders, who do business with almost no information. Noise traders boost accuracy by increasing volume and the potential profits of informed traders.

Diversity helps, too. If you can get different types of people to play, experts say, not only do you get a bigger pool and more information, but differing random guesses will cancel each other out, leaving real signals to rise above the noise. Plus, if you have a critical mass of investors with a variety of backgrounds, locations, and interests, they are less likely to move as a herd.

As the presidential election draws near and the pundits start talking about the magic of prediction markets, pay attention to whether a given market is likely to have a good variety of traders and that they're playing for something meaningful. If not, stay away. Unless, of course, you happen to have some inside information yourself. In that case, by all means jump in and clean up.
