 Speedra. This is the new hotshot company in content delivery networks. Doesn't this management team look like it is a little light on technology experience? Also, this VC team looks to be a rejection of standard SV firms. Doug Kaye, what is your take on this company?

The Edge. If you don't subscribe. Please start. Kurzweil's new article on accelerating change. Bing!
>>>"But what's not fully understood is that the pace of change is itself accelerating, and the last 20 years are not a good guide to the next 20 years. We're doubling the paradigm shift rate, the rate of progress, every decade. This will actually match the amount of progress we made in the whole 20th century, because we've been accelerating up to this point. The 20th century was like 25 years of change at today's rate of change. In the next 25 years we'll make four times the progress you saw in the 20th century. And we'll make 20,000 years of progress in the 21st century, which is almost a thousand times more technical change than we saw in the 20th century."<<<

I went to the Death Clock, entered the data and it said: "this page cannot be displayed" A good sign. Perhaps I will get sucked into the singularity after all. Nice thought.

NYT. "Sun aims to extend its lead." What I don't get is how the NYT, and especially Markoff, could swallow hook, line, and sinker a shallow spin on Web services like this. The title alone speaks volumes.

The reason I included both Doc's and Dori's comments below is that these items provide a little insight into how the sausage is made.

Dori blogged the Oscars last night. Good read. A great note sprung from the transcript:
"Gah! I'm caught up with live, so I can't skip past any more commercials. I've barely watched a commercial since we got ReplayTV."
Cool how all of this technology interacts.

WSJ. The airlines war with online travel agents continues. United Airlines cuts all commissions to Travelocity. Travelocity responds by raising prices on UA flights by $10. The standard commission for offline travel agents on fares is $20. The airlines cut this to $10 when they launched their own transactional websites a couple years ago. This last move, completes the process.
