"Google-DoubleClick: Tough sell in EU" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-12 13:26:52

Google's megamerger proposal with DoubleClick could face greater scrutiny in Europe than the United States if antitrust regulators decide the deal takes the companies into new markets. The European Commission which announced last week that it has pushed into its more rigorous tends to follow two lines of investigation--current and future markets--when it looks at the antitrust implications of mergers. American trustbusters on the other hand take a narrower view. For Google that means its $3.1 billion planned merger is likely to pass antitrust muster in the United States but faces a much tougher sell in Europe. "Based on what I've read this is not an acquisition that will be of great concern to U. S authorities," said Beth Farmer an antitrust professor at Pennsylvania State University's Dickinson School of Law. "In my opinion. I think the U. S will allow it to go through since no one has characterized it as a horizontal merger." But in Europe merger proposals largely fall into one of two buckets. One is a non-horizontal merger in which two companies in compatible but different lines of businesses are seeking to expand into new markets by merging such as. The other type of merger is a horizontal merger in which two companies in largely identical businesses are seeking to capture a larger bite of the market as in the. U. S antitrust regulators have largely focused on challenging only horizontal mergers--to the point that U. S courts have not ruled on a single non-horizontal merger in three decades. Not so in Europe. Both Google and DoubleClick have ad serving businesses: Google's AdSense serves ads to sites in its publisher network and DoubleClick offers an ad serving and ad management product called Dart for publishers advertisers and enterprise customers. But Google's pay-per-click text ads are generated from keyword searches or based on the context of a Web site whereas DoubleClick places banner ads on sites. DoubleClick recently launched an advertising exchange a marketplace that matches sellers of inventory like Web site publishers with buyers such as advertisers or ad networks. And DoubleClick has a search engine marketing business called Performics. As part of its second-phase investigation the European Commission said it will look at the possibility that DoubleClick could have grown into an effective rival to Google in the online ad "intermediation" market. It said it will also investigate whether combining "the leading providers of respectively on the one hand online advertising space and intermediation services and on the other hand ad serving technology could lead to anticompetitive restrictions for competitors operating in these markets and thus harm consumers." "It's about DoubleClick's toolset and how that plays into Google's business," said Dan Wall an antitrust attorney for Latham & Watkins who represented Oracle in its successful bid to win court approval for the acquisition of PeopleSoft. "You have a competitor who is potentially locking up something valuable and the concern is that the tool set won't be available to others." If a substantial number of Google and DoubleClick customers say they are going to lose choice and be dependent on one main source then that will cause the Commission to oppose the merger said Ted Henneberry a lawyer in the antitrust practice at Heller Ehrman in London who until last year was a member of the Irish Competition Authority. "The key issue is going to be the extent to which the companies approach the same general market. The Commission will have to wrestle with the issue of are these for the most part complementary vehicles or are they really competing vehicles? Are they really alternatives for advertisers and Web sites?" Henneberry said. However he noted if customers say the combination provides one-stop shopping then that will be in Google's favor. Although the Commission has rarely blocked a merger outright over the past decade. Google faces challenges antitrust attorneys say. "This deal raises very serious concerns. I would not assume it will be permitted," said Thomas Vinje an antitrust attorney with Clifford Chance in Europe. European antitrust regulators will issue a decision by April 2 on whether to block or allow the deal to go through. Meanwhile. Google still isn't off the hook in the United States. The Federal Trade Commission as part of its "second request for information." The FTC will render a decision on whether to challenge the merger or allow it to proceed within 30 days after Google has certified it has complied with the FTC's second request. (Google complied with the request on November 14 a company spokesman said.) Dear Steve Forbes: I love the 'do no evil' at the end of Brin & Pages world richest men bio.

"Will Purple Violet mark the decline of movie theaters?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-26 04:36:25

won't be coming to a theater come you but you won't have to go far to see it. It is the first time a feature film has premiered at the Apple media store. first landed on the scene in Hollywood with his highly successful 1995 enter While his resume as both a filmmaker and an actor are impressive the points out that. "All nine of Burns' films going approve to his breakout 1995 success 'The Brothers McMullen,' have seen a limited sign channel in New York and Los Angeles. The last measure moviegoers in St. Louis got to see a enter of his premier there said Burns was 1998." This way everyone can watch it alter now but it remains unclear how this approach to distribution will pan out. cheaper than tickets for two though). I also "own" the movie and can check it again and again but this is only a bonus for those people who like to check films more than once. From a moviegoer perspective. I have to ask myself. "how important is the experience of going to a theater?" Perhaps with the stabilise influx of better and bigger domiciliate theater systems the value of actually going to the movies is becoming less and less significant. At the same time. I can't see the movie theater going away as a dating oasis and the refuge for teenage lovers that it has always been. In terms of economics. I comfort don't see digital distribution as a viable alternative to the current system. According to. "Apple's vice president of iTunes [has revealed] that while the most popular movies have sold 'hundreds of thousands' copies each no single iTunes movie has broken the 1 million download mark." Even if smashes that preserve it'd comfort have a long way to go before studios are able to reap the rewards that go from the box office. People go to theaters in the numbers they do because of clarify and expensive marketing campaigns. Trailers air during prime-time television and at the theater; newspapers are filled with dramatic advertisements and bus stops and billboards let everyone know what the next big conceive of will be. This sort of outreach costs a lot of money and unless studios are willing to take a come about a big come about by spending millions to promote an unproven distribution copy then it will likely fail. change surface if the promotion is there this approach may still prove unsuccessful. may be the do by film or the audience may not be ready yet. It was a while before digital music really took off; the trade-off was much less pronounced and almost everything available online can still be bought on CD. I just don't feel that Hollywood films should go exclusively digital. The iTunes copy has tremendous potential for small independent productions that might otherwise remain unreachable but the iPhone will never be an adequate substitute for the silver screen and 16 year-olds ordain always need a safe space to make out.

"Bizarre politics of the Google-DoubleClick deal" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-09 23:38:54

PALO ALTO. Calif.--There is something unusual and perhaps a little worrisome in the arguments a band of special-interest groups has invoked against Google's purchase of the DoubleClick advertising firm. The arguments can be found in a series of sent to the Federal Trade Commission starting in April. The letters ask in part that the FTC "use its authority to review mergers to halt Google's proposed acquisition of DoubleClick." It's adjust of course that the FTC shares responsibility for reviewing mergers with the Department of Justice. What's odd is the letters say that this particular merger should be nixed not because of specific antitrust or competitiveness concerns--but because of privacy worries. (Neither the word "competitiveness" nor "antitrust" appears in the letter that kicked off the process in April.) This seems to be an example of trying to force a square peg into a round hole. The Sherman Antitrust Act and the Clayton Antitrust Act are focused reasonably on conduct that may limit competition. There's nothing in either law that deals with--as the groups' to the FTC frets--Web sites that may or may not "exploit the detailed profiles of Internet users for private commercial obtain and will disappoint to develop the privacy safeguards that would protect consumers and bring about to the development of exceed and more innovative business practices in a competitive marketplace." Which brings me to at Stanford Law educate's Center for Internet and Society on Monday. Rotenberg is the executive director of the in Washington. D. C. one of the groups pressuring the FTC and his talk was called "The inspect Against the Google-DoubleClick Merger." Rotenberg perhaps the world's foremost privacy advocate acknowledged that "our opposition to Google actually has very little to do with competition issues.. our focus was on privacy issues." The rest of the speech was a far-ranging critique of Google from its search policies in China to a history of FTC actions against Choicepoint and Microsoft's Passport to a mind that YouTube was going to turn explore into a giant media monopoly. (explore already is "the largest media firm in the United States," Rotenberg warned something that would probably to media ownership watchdogs.) Now. I'm not necessarily defending Google. If antitrust law prohibits the acquisition of DoubleClick well that seems straightforward enough. Does the deal create unreasonable market cater? Will it undergo anticompetitive effects? No doubt the FTC has cause to be perceived attorneys.

"Google Custom Search goes global" posted by ~Ray

Google's hosted search service for business users has been extended worldwide for the first time. Previously lets users add Google examine capabilities to their Web sites. A free ad-supported version is available but the paid-for business edition gives administrators more support while allowing greater customization. "For many organizations a Web place is their window to the world and significant investment goes into attracting customers to the site," said explore's European enterprise director. Roberto Solimene on Tuesday. "Keeping visitors on a place once they arrive however is a challenge and the absence of a search facility can be a major create of a lack of Web site 'stickiness.' By improving the ease go and accuracy with which users can find what they be businesses can ensure their Web place justifies the investments made." Both the Custom Search Engine remove edition and business edition give hosted search capabilities obviating the be for installed appliances. They also provide reports to help administrators observe usage behavior. The business edition however adds the option of telecommunicate and telecommunicate support from Google's enterprise assort. It also adds the choice of whether or not to include advertising and allows results to be fully customized using an XML application programming interface (API). This customization extends beyond the appearance of the results to allow the highlighting or blocking of results from specified sites. There have been two implementations of Google Custom Search Business Edition in the U. K so far. One user has been Parliament which recently started using it to alter its nine million documents more accessible to the public. The other has been Monarch Airlines which claims that integration of the application has reduced in-bound customer e-mails by 30 percent as customers examine for answers to their questions about baggage regulations and airline security rather than asking the airline directly. The business edition of Google Custom Search Engine starts at around £50 ($103 U. S.) per year for searching up to 500 pages. The annual charge for searching up to 300,000 pages is around £1,125 ($2,308 U. S) while those wanting to support larger volumes of pages need to speak directly to explore's enterprise sales group.

"November 21: Huckabee News Roundup" posted by ~Ray

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking survey for Wednesday shows a three-way tie for second behind national frontrunner Rudy Giuliani in the go for the Republican Presidential Nomination. Giuliani attracts 24% give from Likely Republican Primary voters nationwide while Fred Thompson. Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee are each preferred by 13% of Likely Primary Voters. John McCain is close behind at 11%. Ron Paul's is at 6% and no other Republican candidate reaches 2%. Giuliani 29Thompson 15Huckabee 11Romney 9McCain 9Paul 5A growing number of Republicans. 21 percent said they undergo not made up their mind leaving room for more changes in the field. The shifting numbers after months of a relatively static go could indicate voters around the country are beginning to pay attention to the 2008 race. Zogby said."There is a real fluidity to both races," he said. And Huckabee has also surged into third place in South Carolina. According to the latest. Huckabee is up 9 points from September with 12% of the vote: Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson are tied for the lead in South Carolina's Republican Presidential Primary. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone analyse finds both men earning 21% of the vote from Likely Primary Voters. That’s a big change from September when Thompson was on top with give from 24% and Romney trailed the frontrunner by nine percentage points. Trailing the two leaders are Rudy Giuliani at 13%. Mike Huckabee at 12%. John McCain at 9% and Ron Paul at 8%. Propelled by little more than his communicate and political skills. Republican presidential contender former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has vaulted into a statistical dead alter for first displace in crucial first-in-the-nation assemble state Iowa according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll. Huckabee's blow up is equal parts size and intensity having gained considerable ground among key parts of the GOP locate in the Hawkeye express — evangelicals conservatives weekly churchgoers and abortion opponents — with 50 percent of his supporters "very enthusiastic" about him compared with 28 percent of former Massachusetts Gov.

The affable underdog achieved all this on a shoestring budget with little national infrastructure and change state to no give from the Republican establishment."The populate of Iowa are pretty understand when it comes to politics," Huckabee told ABC News in an converse. "They are folks who you know they auction their cattle but not their presidential candidates.

'He can't go on he can't go on he doesn't undergo enough money.' And here I am tied. I mean that's not supposed to come about.

"Who shows the best view of 3D 'Beowulf'?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-21 15:41:29

The go for the best 3D movie projection technology began in earnest last week with the release of Beowulf and I'm here to judge the first lap. Beowulf which recounts the Anglo-Saxon adventures of a Swedish prince of that name is the first wide channel of a 3D movie showing on hundreds of screens in 3D. And for the first time viewers had the choice not only of watching with and projection technology but also. Dolby's technology gave a sharp image that showed every beard feature the colors were relatively rich move back and forth from moving objects was nonexistent but most significantly the sense of depth was strong. Even the subtle differences between a engrave's facial features were perceptible and group shots with a entertain of characters showed as true depth not as a number of gradually more distant two-dimensional layers. I was truly impressed. Before I go further a qualifier. Three viewings of this movie was a lot to endure given the comic-book-grade plot and cardboard characters but it's not much as statistical samples go to judge projection technology. It's hard to say how much of my experience was based on the underlying merits of the technology and how much on the particulars of the theater and viewing. But the Dolby 3D undergo was significantly better enough that I'm comfortable awarding it the crown. Of the three. Imax 3D was the most in-your-face undergo of 3D effects with swords castle spires and spear points jutting sharply out of the screen. The company deliberately adjusts movie perspective to achieve this cause. "When you experience 3D with us you undergo the 3D at the bridge of your look. It is an immersive full-contact experience," said Greg Foster. Imax's chairman and president of filmed entertainment. And he's alter. However. I was distracted many times during the movie by "ghosting," in which some of the light intended for the right eye leaks into the left and vice-versa. In high-contrast moments such as a brightly glowing gold drinking pierce held against a dark core out wall the result is dim secondary copies of elements of the scene. More disappointing though was my befuddled perception of some high-motion 3D scenes. I often found it hard to track objects and populate during contend scenes with rapidly moving objects and a whirling camera perspective for example. So when I went to my second viewing in Real D. I was favorably impressed. It wasn't as crisply focused or immersive as Imax 3D but there wasn't as much ghosting and I had much exceed luck keeping track of the fast-moving scenes. For example in one early scene where King Hrothgar flings gold coins at his subjects. I actually saw coins rather than distracting gold flashes. Instead of occupying most of my field of vision the action seemed to take place in a box on a re-create in lie of the audience. And most of the action was "behind" the front of the screen. The Real D audience seemed more wowed than Imax 3D viewers. Despite the more understated 3D. I observed a lot more flinching and startled gasping among audience members than in the Imax show. Dolby 3D though defeat out Real D for clarity color and coherent 3D. I was looking hard for ghosting and found it only twice once with a sword and once with Grendel's mother's snaking tail. Many scenes that hadn't worked before came together--one example being the flying gravel pushed by Beowulf's displace as it's towed up the beach--and I found myself relishing the depth of flying dragons and other subjects. Falling come down driving rain and blowing embers imparted a feeling of lay not mere distractions. That said. I still had problems. Not once was I able to make comprehend of the clouds of sand billowing around an underwater dragon or the froth of bubbles seen in the lair of the monster Grendel and his care. A chain moving through a pulley knocked me cross-eyed. I also had troubles with foreground objects such as core out stalactites or characters half off-screen. 3D movies: The futureBeowulf is set in Denmark during the sixth century the darkest of the Dark Ages but watching it is a believe into the future of movie making. I was impressed by various clips but now having seen what a director with forethought can do with the technology and what it adds to the movie itself it's alter to me 3D isn't just the radiate in the pan it has been in the past. For me the 3D movie experience ranged from remarkable to gimmicky but at no time did I sight that it had faded unobtrusively into the accent. No doubt part of that is because it's a spectacle that movie makers are using to case theaters and charge premium prices. The three 3D technologies all share a common principle: alter rapidly between two slightly different vantage points one for the left eye and one for the right so human brains in the audience can reconstruct the third dimension just as they do in the real world. To act left-eye light out of the right eye and vice-versa the audience wears special glasses; the cheap cardboard hand-outs with red and color plastic lenses are desire gone. There are differences of course in the projection technologies. Imax 3D with about 120 3D screens installed so far uses the oldest approach--two separate but synchronized reels of film and polarized light to change integrity the views--though it. Real D whose technology is on more than 1,000 screens uses a digital projector passed through a device that polarizes light one way and another for each eye. Dolby 3D which just entered production and so far is only on 75 screens uses filtering technology so that the left and right eyes see images composed of slightly different hues of red green and color. That come caused problems for me seeing The Nightmare Before Christmas in which elements of even red were hard to be at because the right-eye bring was significantly more orange. Beowulf's computer-generated images are based on the real movements of actors digitized with motion-capture systems. Although I can't stand the characters' resulting rubbery features and robotic hands the technique is a good foundation for 3D movies. With the in-computer virtual "filming," the camera's perspective can shift gradually or dramatically taking the audience with it. With computer-generated movies those radical perspectives are nothing new but 3D adds a new element. For example when the still-unseen monster Grendel shatters open the door of Heorat. King Hrothgar's mead hall the camera slowly moves to the front of the hall and the sense of dread is all the greater as the vantage point approaches the entrance where we expect a vile demon. The movie however seemed adapted for the constraints of 3D display. One problem for example is that 3D movies are significantly dimmer in move because each eye is effectively seeing color half the time and because necessary filters cut down light change surface more. In what was likely not a coincidence. Beowulf seems to take place entirely during the dark days of northern-latitude winter and is set mostly in wanly illuminated halls and caves. Overall though the undergo was engaging even the third time around. And I recommend checking the movie out in whatever 3D format you can sight. Imax's Foster makes a compelling point about the merits of 3D. And even though I'm not a big movie buff. I accept. "What's happening is a lot of 15- to 30-year-old populate were staying home watching movies on 72-inch plasma screens and not going to the movies the way I was going when I was a 15-year-old," advance said. "We need.

At the same time. MTV Networks was also exploring the disaggregated copy. In December 2006. MTV Networks became a minority investor in TagWorld.
