Hrm. This particular Rick is thinking about changing his name. As to the funding vis-a-vis Cuban? I've been wishing Mark and Chuck would find a way to work together for a while now... Sept. 2004 to be exact? There is some personal stake in the matter as I miss HD-Net. Grin. RRaymo

That crevasse is really beautiful! [Mind out of the gutter, this is actually an appropriate moment to use the word.] And the Crater/Cone area? Is that Shira or Mawenzi? It is very cool looking. Nice images. The cloud shots are terrific. You can tell why the Masai call it Oldoinyo Oibor...

In for the record as well... Confirmation number, 2005326634532. Luck, Rick

OK. So this article has some quality ideas, and some misguided information... But it is worth reading... <<snip>> title: Saving VOOM From Impending Doom written by: Jerry Del Colliano date: March 24, 2005 As HDTV continues to boom in terms of mainstream consumer demand, the...

On Equator HD the Flying Friday commercial tonight showed some very wild artifacts on Building Faces and during scene changes. On the whole we are seeing better PQ than we have since the Harmonic product has been in the pipeline, but I'd still say we are 15 percent off optimal from the...

It HAS improved, but I'd say that we have some serious tweaking to get back to pre-harmonic... maybe 15 percent to go? Man, this stuff is so subjective.... I wish there were an easy way to have us vote up/down on certain migration/harmonic caused artifacts. My best comparison is a...

My Gosh, Say it ain't so... Things take more time than expected? At least we have a service without a Dead Date. At least we can speculate about Malone and Co. and their hopes and intent with Voom. At least we can all look forward to Bill Nye The Science Guy on Noggin. At least Vicki survived...

PS. Wouldn't it be reasonable to offer Mark Cuban premium placement for any and all of his efforts and a cut of the profits (via Warrents or straight cash) and a seat on the board as a NonExec Member? He'd probably be thrilled to be working with someone with some vision--and clearly there...

I truly wonder if we are missing the point here... With proper marketing, delivery, installation, et al, Voom can be profitable in three years. Many of us wonder if the HD (mostly) only aspect to the marketing is hurting them more than helping... It is one thing to put this out as a full...

To Charles Dolan, Mickey Alpert, et al... 2/10/2005 Dear Voom, Thanks for the continuing effort in improving your fledgling service, the boardroom battles, the ongoing uphill battle against the two other DBS businesses (one of which got $12K from me over 11 years,) and on. I'm sure you...

OK. So, James Dolan sat out yesterday's meeting... See this piece from tonight's Newsday online (tomorrow's edition?) <<snip>> BY GREG LOGAN STAFF WRITER March 9, 2005 Cablevision CEO James Dolan's seats were conspicuously empty last night while the family feud that threatens to...

Traded lower after reports that they had not come to a decision yesterday. There are no reports today as yet. And we haven't even heard that they have adjourned for the day. Thus, this item is dated, even if they appear to have new info... FYI. Rick

Hrm. Someone knows something we don't this morning. Reuters just picked up a WSJ Online bit about Sears being told not to worry about the Voom service. http://yahoo.reuters.com/financeQuoteCompanyNewsArticle.jhtml?duid=mtfh69934_2005-03-07_10-44-13_n07706665_newsml
