The Engadget Interview: Peter Moore, corporate vice president of Microsofts Interactive Entertainment Business in the Entertainment and Devices Division

Peter Moore Xbox MicrosoftThis interview is a bit of a straggler from CES, but a couple of weeks ago James Ransom-Wiley from Joystiq and I were able to sit down and chat with Peter Moore, corporate vice president of Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Business in the Entertainment and Devices Division (translation: he’s in charge of marketing for the Xbox). Read on to hear what he has to say about the Xbox 360’s forthcoming HD-DVD drive, how long we’ll have to wait to see a truly console-defining title, his thoughts on the 360’s Japanese launch, and how they’re getting ready to go head-to-head with the PlayStation 3 later this year.

Thanks for taking a few minutes out of your schedule today.

My pleasure.

We know CES is pretty insane, so we really appreciate it. So how has it gone so far? It’s been a couple months now since the launch of the Xbox 360.

Yeah, actually it’s only been six weeks.

Has it really only been six weeks?

Yeah.

Funny how it feels like it’s been a lot longer.

Yeah, it feels like a lifetime. That’s because we went November 22nd and then we went December 2nd in Europe, and then, of course, we were all to Japan on December 10th. So clearly in the western world in particular it’s phenomenal.

And our biggest challenge, as I said at the keynote with Bill Gates, is meeting demand. We are continuing to expedite as many consoles into Europe, in particular, where demand is even heavier than it is in the United States -- as difficult as that is to believe. We’re doing everything we can to meet that demand, and hopefully later on in the Spring you’ll be able to actually walk in and buy one off the shelf.

Unused "white space" spectrum and wireless microphones

Gossett, Senior Staff Engineer In previous postings, weve made the case that the TV "white spaces" could be used to provide broadband internet for all Americans without harming current users of this spectrum (TV broadcasters and wireless microphone users). In a new white paper, we make the case that better use of the white spaces could actually lead to new, vastly superior wireless microphones, rather than pose a threat to live events. The main problem that users of wireless microphones face today is coordination. A single venue may involve as many as 300 microphones. 20 hours ago Tagged: telecom, whit...

From the IT channel ? Microsoft Chooses YuMe to Manage and Sell Extra Video Ads http://mashable.com/ 2008/ 06/ 16/ yume-microsoft-video-advertising/ YuMe received $9 million in funding last year, at a time when video ad networks seemed to be raking in the investment dough. Another sign of good fortune for YuMe is its recently announced partnership with Microsoft. Online video ad network YuMe has been selected by Microsoft to sell and manage Microsofts unsold online video ad inventory on Microsofts online properties. According to YuMe and Microsoft, the YuMe ad network has been chosen in part because of its robust platform, indicating that Microsoft hasnt gotten the online video advertising segment of its own platform quite right for its own satisfaction. 19 hours ago Tagged: ...

Recent discussions over whether or not the UK Code of Advertising Practice should apply to SEO have interested me considerably, because the existing rules simply cannot cater for the sector. Furthermore, while much of the recent debate has centred on whether or not the sector should impose self-regulating standards, I have seen considerably less debate about what those standards should be. 1 day ago Tagged: seo SEOptimise | Search Engin...

The Bloggers Union

From the Technology channel ? The Bloggers Union http://www.dailyblogtips.com/ the-bloggers-union/ Should we create a bloggers union? This idea was floating on my head, so I decided to share with everyone. Sometime ago there were already rumors on the Internet that some bloggers on the U.S. wanted to create such a union. Their purpose, however, was completely different from what I have in mind. Basically they wanted to unionize the blogger profession, just like you have the dentists or writers union. Their main concern was health care and similar issues. Now while this could be a good idea, I think that we need something more practical on the Web. 1 day ago Tagged: blogosphere Daily Blog Tips http://www.dailyblogtips.com view larger thumbnail Authority: 5,...

Google Webmaster Tools To Fix Verification "Bug" with Google Sites

At this time, unfortunately, its not possible. Google Sites does not allow you to upload HTML files or add meta tags, so verification at this time seems to be something Google has not considered. That said, the Google Sites team is now aware of the issue and Reid from Google has responded to the forums thread saying that they will be looking into it. Forum discussion continues at Google Groups. Tamar Weinberg in Other Google Topics 1 day ago Tagged: other google topics ...

Selling SOA: Stating the obvious

IT Project Failures | ZDNet.com   Year:23 hours ago   Source Site:technorati

From the Technology channel ? Selling SOA: Stating the obvious http://blogs.zdnet.com/ projectfailures/ ?p=827 Successful IT projects, including Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) initiatives, begin with a clear rationale designed to help an organization solve specific business or technology problems. Practitioners frequently ignore this obvious point, which causes many failed projects. With this in mind, I had mixed reactions reading a post by David Linthicum on How to Sell SOA. David says the following: So, how do you sell? Lets look at a few key concepts, including: Shining light on existing limitations Creating the business case Creating the execution plan Delivering the goods From one perspective, its easy to dismiss this general advice as a form of insipid business pablum ...
