From “Microsoft Watch” (newsletter):

“More and more Microsofties (past and present) are planting up Weblogs. Some are chronicling the debates inside Microsoft and the rest of the software industry. Others wholly shy aside from any mentions of their employer.

We’ve been progressing out our collection of Microsoft blogger bookmarks. Not too astonishingly, many of these folks are connected to Microsoft’s developer/Web services divisions.

Hither are a few of our favorites:

No commentary on the rest of the article, but it is interesting to envision how much blogging is in the mainstream (more reason I’m frustrated at my over ignorance of this before december…)

Internet Video vs Digital TV

Betterest Efforts. That is what you pay off when you render to post internet video. Its absolutely unsufferable to see to it anyone , anyplace that a video you or any Contented Delivery Network hosts will be capable to be delivered at the tantamount quality of any TV show being transmited today.

There is a reason why Contented Delivery Networks live. They survive because the internet is a betterest efforts medium. The internet will e’er be a betterest efforts medium, if only if because of Last Neutrality. If all bits are made and delivered on an adequate basis, and so there is no way to be certain that the bits gestating your TV show will be delivered with any Quality of Service assurances.

For some reason, every Internet bigot out on that point appears to cerebrate that there is some charming bullet that will heal this problem. There is a reason why Cable companies expend so much money on equipment and engineers to make up certain that your favourite TV show renders up when you interchange the channel. Those same engineers do everything they peradventure can to do certain that you make that show at the eminentest potential picture quality. Delivery is not just now about bandwidth allocation, there is an unbelievable amount of engineering that gos in catching TV signals to your screen. It dos work because those engineers command the signal end to end. Its deterministic, not betterest efforts.

Its for this reason I have changed state forth from the internet as the future of entertainment and am centered on Digital TV, whether its delivered by a satellite, telco or cable company. While its dependable that the companies proffering TV oft tread all over themselves and reach things far more hard than they should be, all of the existent innovation is happening on the Digital TV side of the ledger. Why ? Because its a stable, deterministic platform. (more…)
