Buonocor Abstract This study examines and compares the environmental footprint of video game distribution on last generation consoles, current generation consoles and personal computers (PC). Two different methods of delivery are compared on each platform: traditional retail on optical discs and digital downloads in the U.S. Downloading content has been growing and is used to distribute movies, music, books and video games. This technology may change the environmental footprint of entertainment media. Previous studies on books, music, movies and television shows found that digital methods of distribution reduced emissions. However, prior research on video games, looking only at previous generation consoles, found the opposite conclusion.

ABI Research predicted that by 2011, the home media server market will top $44 billion in value, up from $3.7 billion in 2006. In a separate report, Parks Associates forecast that 20 million people would own a "connected entertainment network," of interconnected consumer-electronics devices, or a PC-to-CE network, by 2010. ADVERTISEMENT The PE-CE convergence began in about 2000 when companies like TiVo and ReplayTV began offering personal video recorders that recorded video to a hard drive, like a PC. After failing to capitalize on either its WebTV box or UltimateTV interactive service, Microsoft then introduced its Windows XP Media Center Edition in 2002, which allowed PC owners to connect their breaking news cable feed to the PC and perform the same PVR functions.

  • Intel Settles, Will Pay Intergraph $300 Million
    HOME (HTTPS://WWW.EXTREMETECH.COM)Search Extremetech EXTREME (HTTPS://WWW.EXTREMETECH.COM/CATEGORY/EXTREME) INTELTOP SETTLES, ARTICLES WILL PAY1/5 INTERGRAPH $300 MILLION SEARCH Intel Settles, Will Pay Intergraph $300 Million By Mark Hachman (https://www.extremetech.com/author/mhachman) on April 15, 2002 at 2:36 pm 0 Comments (https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/50946-intel-settles-will-pay-intergraph-300-million#disqus_thread) This site may earn affiliate commissions from the links on this page. Terms of use (https://www.ziffdavis.com/terms-of-use#endorsement). Intergraph Corp. announced Monday that it has settled part of its lawsuit with Intel Corp., which paid Intergraph $300 million. The decision settles part of the litigation between the two companies, which claims Intel illegally coerced Intergraph to give up certain patents beginning in 1996. A second case, which will investigate whether Intel’s 64-bit microprocessors infringe Intergraph’s patents, remains unsettled and will go to trial in July. ADVERTISING ADVERTISING “Intergraph has been building its portfolio of intellectual property for 30 years,” said Jim Taylor, the chief executive of Intergraph, Huntsville, Ala., in a statement. “We believe that this settlement demonstrates the validity and value of our patents. Now that we have resolved the Alabama litigation, we can realize additional value for our intellectual property through open licensing agreements with others in the computer and electronics industries.” ADVERTISING The legal tangle between the two companies goes back for several years and is also partly the basis for the Federal Trade Commission’s investigation of Intel for antitrust violations. The FTC later settled with Intel, requiring that Digital (later Compaq) retain the rights to the Alpha microprocessor.

  • WITI's Digital Life Survey Says
    WITI’s Digital Life Survey Says: Maybe They’re Not So Different, Men and Women Are Both Thinking Big (Screen, That Is) For The Holidays New York, October 27, 2005 – WITI (Women in Technology International), the nation’s leading professional organization for tech-savvy women, sponsored a special survey at Digital Life, a consumer technology event from Ziff Davis. Attendees were asked to lend their voices and tell the tech industry what they love and don’t love. The survey results show that passion for technology transcends gender. The respondents were shown nine different high tech products that will be on sale this holiday season and asked to rank their favorites. Respondents were asked to rate each product along five categories including price, wow factor, and usefulness. “To our surprise, the Syntax Olivia flat panel TV we showed the survey respondents crossed the gender lines in its appeal,” said Robin Raskin, director of WITI media. “The Samsung Digimax Camera followed in a close second place, again favored by both men and women. Technology wish lists appear to be consistent across the sexes.” Other items the visitors could choose from included a portable media device, a slick cell phone, a music player, a digital picture frame, a music player embedded in a headset, and others. In regards to lifestyle, the significant majority of both men and women answered that they would not date anyone who carried a Pocket Protector. They also agreed that they would never date anyone who couldn’t send an instant message. When asked how they communicated their most romantic feelings, both genders chose face-to-face communications as opposed to email, IM, phone or other technologies.
