Here is a recent Executive Suite interview with Verizon's Nancy Gofus who is the Vice President of Product Management for Verizon Business. Generally these interviews don't break news but in this case it did. I hope you like it.

AMD in Dell Servers

May 19, 2006

Here are some of Om’s comments on the AMD/Dell deal. This story is major news. Om thinks that in the future Dell will not only use AMD chips in servers but in laptops as well. I tend to agree since AMD announced it will soon ship 64-bit dual-core processors designed for laptops. One interesting point here is that in the HMP space or host media processing where the CPU acts as a DSP, many of Intel’s rivals hope AMD does better and better. The reason is that Intel HMP solutions don’t work on AMD chips. Many other ones do.

To Akron, Atlanta and Back

May 18, 2006

I had a fun but tiring trip from LaGuardia Airport to Akron, Ohio to Atlanta, GA and back home. I got to fly on AirTran to Ohio and was dreading flying on this airline. For some reason I associate the airline with budget crappy service. Big mistake.

AMD 64 Bit Laptop Chips

May 18, 2006

I really want a laptop with these new 64-bit dual-core processors. I can’t wait for them to come out in actual products. We just ordered a bunch of laptops with dual core Intel 32-bit processors and I hear they really scream. Also See: AMD ships the first 64-bit, dual-core mobile chip; Intel's answer won't be long in coming.

EVDO in Akron Ohio

May 16, 2006

The one area Verizon Wireless might want to look into is Akron, OH where the EVDO speed rivals snail mail. The good news about my stay is that the University of Akron WiFi Access is ubiquitous throughout their campus. I spoke their today. The one challenge is how tight the WiFi security is.

MTV URGE

May 15, 2006

Now that MTV has decided it will compete with iTunes by offering downloads of music and eventually videos, one wonders how many potential competitors there will be in this space. How many can the market bear? Will content providers ever say enough is enough and stop new outlets from getting a hold of their songs and videos?

From where I stand this competition for the consumer will put content providers in a better and better position to negotiate lucrative deals. Then again do content providers even need a service like iTunes or Google?

Apple beats Apple

May 8, 2006

It looks like Apple Computer will be able to continue to sell music under the Apple brand in the UK. They just won a lawsuit brought on by the Beatle’s label Apple Corps. You know I figured the surviving Beatles would all be Mac fans and have iPods.

Side Effect of Blogging

May 5, 2006

The more you blog, the more e-mail you get. Of course my fellow bloggers know this. I find it amazing how many people find blog entries from the past few years and send me e-mails on various topics. I get many requests about investment opportunities to helping people fix their VoIP or broadband problems.

Interop

May 4, 2006

I spent a full day at Interop and got to cover the whole show in less than a day which is always a plus. In addition I even got a chance to hit a few receptions and see two wedding parties casually strolling through the casino.

Who would have thought that a strip of desert would become one of the most popular destinations in the country based on gambling, weddings and bachelor parties. Of course there is more... Sports, great restaurants, shows, etc but it is tough to fathom how quickly this strip of sand has blossomed in the past 15 years alone.

But back to the show, there were a few booths towards the front of the hall that did well and some others had good traffic depending on the appeal of their offerings.
