Links for 12-07-2007

• Rough Type: Nicholas Carr's Blog: Through the Kindle window - In a sense, this can be thought of as the anti-convergence view.


• Commercials As Content - 7 Places to Watch Ads On Purpose - In the "old" days Adcritic(?think I have that right) was a good place to see good ads. But they went to a subscriber model for ad pros when the bubble started bursting. Apparently bandwidth grows on trees again.


• Sun BluePrints Online - Articles November 2007 - Sun xVM technical information.


• EBAY: Time For CEO Meg Whitman to Go? - Silicon Alley Insider - Short but thought-provoking. eBay ran the table as an auction company but hasn't really been able to expand beyond that. And in Skype they bought a non-synergistic flavor-of-the-month.


• The State Of HD DVD: The State of HD DVD - HD-DVD was close to being written off a while back. This piece makes a strong case for why it's resurrected itself. I don't really have an opinion though I did get an HD DVD for my Xbox.
