Turning the desktop PC into a talk radio medium

Article Abstract:

Carl Malamud is pioneering a new medium with his new Internet Talk Radio program, digitally broadcast over the Internet network. The half-hour show, to be broadcast weekly, will interview a prominent computer industry individual, and is aimed at those researchers and programmers with equipment powerful enough to receive the broadcast. Receiving the broadcast requires 15Mbytes of storage, and a modem with a 64K-bps receive rate. The show can be listened to as broadcast, or stored and then listened to, if less powerful equipment is used. Listeners will be able to select the portions they wish to listen to from a menu of the show's contents. Currently, Internet could not support a video version of the program. However, that limitation is expected to be eliminated with the advent of the data superhighway.

Audit Results Move Google A Step Closer To Offering

Article Abstract:

A recent audit has made it possible for Google to proceed with its plan to conduct an initial public offering of its stock. It will file a securities registration with the SEC and show that it is in compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley law. The offering is expected in April with a possible market value of $20 billion. Current candidates to handle the offering are J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs. The privately-held company that is based in Mountain View, CA is rumored to be approaching $1 billion in annual revenue. The offering would provide major wealth for its founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
