Google, which has a network
of more than 200,000 servers, has started to buy
Advanced Micro's Opteron processors with almost all
new purchases, Morgan Stanley analyst Mark
Edelstone
said.
•
•
"Most of Google's near-term
server purchases will use AMD's Opteron for the
first time," Edelstone said. Google "will help AMD
to enjoy a significant sequential increase in their
server business in the first
quarter."
•
•
Winning Google as a customer
may help Advanced Micro beat analysts' estimates
this quarter, San Francisco-based Edelstone
wrote.
•
•
The switch may also come as
a blow to Intel Chief Executive Paul Otellini, who
sits on Google's board. Advanced Micro, the No. 2
maker of computer processors behind Intel, last
quarter took more than 20% of the market for the
first time in more than four
years.
•
•
Smart90.com plans to follow
the example Google has choosen by switching its
15,000 servers in to run on Advanced Micro Devices
Inc. chips. The change will take affect during the
next 12 months.

Troy says he hopes Internet VRA DVD movie
down-loaders will become as loyal to VRA TelePlay
as they are to the Amazon.com. "We would like them
to think of us in cinema and video as a first
stop," Troy said. "I don't want to release just one
movie. I want to build and feed this audience, in
fact, we're now waiting in the side lines to see
what the out come will be in the Tivo
case."

APRIL, 2006 / MARSHALL,
Texas -- TivoTiVo Ex-CEO Patent Infringement
Testifies That EchoStar Copied Set-Top Box
Technology / The company shared details of its
digital video recorder during negotiations, he
says.
•
•-
TiVo Inc. shared details of
its technology with Dish Network, which later used
it in its own TiVo-like boxes that can pause and
rewind live television programs, a TiVo co-founder
said
Wednesday.
•
•
Former Chief Executive
Michael Ramsey made the comment during testimony on
the first day of TiVo's patent-infringement lawsuit
against EchoStar Communications Corp., the parent
of Dish
Network.
•
•-
Alviso, Calif.-based TiVo has not said how
much it is seeking in damages, but an opposing
lawyer said the company would ask the jury in
federal district court here to award it more than
$100 million.
•
•
TiVo spent years pursuing a deal in which
Dish Network would pay it for using its television
set-top boxes, similar to a deal that TiVo has with
DirecTV, the other big satellite broadcaster. But
Ramsey claimed that the negotiations were "mostly
one way" and that Dish Network began selling its
own boxes using TiVo
technology.
•
•
Ramsey was the first witness in a case
expected to last two weeks. Analysts say the
outcome could affect TiVo stock and determine
whether it can pressure cable companies to pay
licensing fees for the digital video recorders, or
DVRs, that they lease to
subscribers.
•
•
In an opening statement, EchoStar attorney
Harold McElhinny said the Englewood, Colo.,
satellite provider came up with its own technology
that differed from TiVo in several ways. For
example, he said, the EchoStar box doesn't
translate analog signals into digital because
satellite systems are already
digital.
•
•
McElhinny said other companies were working
on devices that recorded live TV on a hard drive
long before TiVo was started in
1997.
•
•
"We have 1,500 engineers at EchoStar. We
built it ourselves," McElhinny said. He suggested
that TiVo sued EchoStar because it was unable to
turn a profit because of tough
competition.
•
•
McElhinny said TiVo would ask the jury for
more than $100 million in damages but that TiVo
offered its invention to Dish Network free if Dish
helped advertise TiVo.
