Seymour article gets corrected from FORTUNE Magazine online. cgi.pathfinder.com July 30, 1999 Breakin' Up Microsoft???... Street Life DOG DOW DAY Why not? Put Ballmer in charge of MSFTA and McNeely in charge of MSFTB. Make Bill the Attorney General in the Bush administration.... GE down $3.... My main guy, Chuck Phillips of Morgan Stanley, is up on BMC Software, so is a stiff from CSFB, but I've been too nice to them lately...Merill has been kicking the shirt out of Daimler Chrysler lately. And the stock? The stock? It's been dogging it!... So what about e.Digital, the online music company (from the land of MP3, etc....) A certain online news service did a story on e.Digital and missed it: Reporter last spoke with company in MAY, not June. This a from a source at EDIG: "e.Digital has had fully-functional prototype for months, and when Mr. X had the chance to hear a demonstration at PC Magazine Editors Day, he declined, although other editors did hear it, and it performed beautifully. As far as Christmas goes, it will be up to licensees of the secure Internet music player design to determine the launch schedule for the finished product. As is the case with most OEM products, the licensees will also select the desired feature set, color or colors, packaging, and retail price for the finished product, which they will then market to end users. e.Digital and Lucent are co-marketing the design, including all its options to potential licensees, and negotiations are under way. We cannot disclose the details of negotiations, but will release news as details become publicly available. SDMI is still in the process of finalizing their guidelines. Lucent and e.Digital support SDMI's efforts to find secure ways to distribute and play music over the Internet, and have always planned for the design to be SDMI-compliant. Major music labels and artists are also going to be influenced by the SDMI standards. One fact that was not highlighted in the article is that beyond music, voice products are the real bread and butter of e.Digital, and are expected to generate the lion's share of e.Digital's revenue this year. Regardless of the birthing pains in Internet music, and in spite of any uncertainty in the Internet music market, we will see substantially improved revenue this year from licensing our products in other markets. In addition to our contracts with Lanier and Intel, we are working with IBM, Philips, Intel and others as part of the VoiceTIMES alliance to define and establish voice technology standards for many products spanning several platforms and applications. I hope this information is helpful to you....." It was, thanks!.... This from a reader re: The Stranglers. "Great band. In England, they were big yet at the same time had a cult following (mostly sixth former and college peeps). Started out kinda punkish in the 70's with songs like "No More Heroes" & "Peaches", and then mellowed out in the 80's and since -- tracks like "European Female", "Golden Brown" (harpsichord heaven) & "Always the Sun". One of my "claims to fame" -- lead vocalist, Hugh Cornwell, used to live in our village, Box (near Bath), England where my father used to own the corner shop. HC would come in and buy milk and sweets 'n' stuff.... just a regular nice guy. Trivia time -- Box (real village name) also famous for having the longest railway tunnel in England (couple o' miles).... the Chunnel doesn't count, it's not IN England. The angle at which the tunnel runs was carefully calculated by its engineer, I.K. Brunel, so that the only day the sun shines all the way through at dawn is his birthday!" KEWL!!... So the kind of stuff you learn in Streetlife? Very very useful!
