Peter Cochrane's Blog: The one-box generation
Comment Written on JetBlue 0038 flying from JFK to Rochester NY, and dispatched via a free hotel wi-fi service. When I was a child there was no television. Radio was strictly LW, MW and SW. My oldest children can remember black-and-white TV but there were... [26 Mar 2008]

The Bloor Perspective: Oracle's next gamble, India gets the Simputer, and X-Box issues
Comment X-Box has Achilles' heel After that came the X-Box itself. But although the US public may have been wowed by Bill's exploits, the real test of a gaming machine lies across the Pacific and earlier this month Bill and his box arrived at the Tokyo... [23 Apr 2001]

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Who'd be a copyright lawyer?
Comment Yes, PCs, cameras, hi-fis, PDAs, in fact every conceivable hardware box, past, present and future is coming under the gaze of the copyright soldiers. Having successfully killed Napster they have turned their attention to P2P, ISPs and box shifters. [10 Oct 2002]

The silicon.com Weekly Round-Up: 07.03.03
Comment Sadly, the email found its way into the in-box of the company's big boss, who didn't find it at all funny. Indeed, it emerged that the figure was in fact the meter reference for the property, and had ended up in the bill's 'total' box by mistake. [10 Mar 2003]
