Boxes under the radar/Kastjes onder de radar

UPDATE, January 27
Some information for English speaking visitors to this blog that got here through the Slashdot-article: just to get the story straight, the boxes in the picture on my site are similar to the ones that were featured in this week's PC World. There's nothing secret about these devices: they connect your tv to your home network. As I understand, they were seen all over this year's CES. What I wrote below in the original (Dutch) posting was that the Strangeberry guys drove to Fry's one day to buy the components to build these kind of devices. And that they managed to do so pretty quickly; meaning that these are smart guys and also that there's not much of a barrier to entry in this market - providing there is a market. I never meant to imply or infer that these were the kind of machines Strangeberry was actually developing as their core business, just that they are working on technology for this space. As the official Tivo statement says: 'Strangeberry has created technology (...) designed to enable the development of new broadband-based content delivery services.' And as you can judge by the resumes of the Strangeberry guys, they are software specialists, not hardware guys. Just to be clear: I am not associated with Strangeberry in any way. I am just a friend of Arthur's, as I wrote on my personal blog about the acquisition of Smartberry by Tivo. Anyway, thanks for stopping by. Makes me think of doing this media & technology blog in English... nah, too much work, and this was supposed to be a hobby ;-)

Original posting, November 10
In een voormalige winkel in Palo Alto zit een start up waarvan de oprichters op een lauwe dinsdagmiddag naar Fry's Electronics zijn gereden om componenten te kopen waaruit ze deze vreemde kastjes hebben gebouwd. Ik denk dat binnen twee jaar iedereen met een DSL- of kabelaansluiting zo'n kastje in huis heeft. Meer mag ik er van de oprichters niet over zeggen, want die hebben de illusie dat ik er veel van snap en dus veel kan verklappen, een tragisch misverstand. Ze zijn heel bedreven in het 'onder de radar' blijven, maar intussen lopen bedrijven als Apple en Google de deur bij ze plat. Ik zie Philips of Shell niet zo snel audientie vragen bij een paar nerds uit Delft. Helaas.

Bedoel je dat de bestuursvoorzitters van Shell en Philips weleens op bezoek gaan bij 5 techneuten uit Delft? Welke bedrijven dan, ik ben benieuwd.

Boxes below radar

In a former shop in Palo Alto there's a startup whose founders rode to Fry's Electronics on a tuesday afternoon to buy some components to build these weird cases. I think that within two years, everyone with DSL or Cable will have one in their home. I can't say more from the founders, because they think I understand it (a grave misunderstanding) and can this tell you guys about it. They are very skilled in staying 'below radar' but in the meantime, companies such as Apple and Google are knocking at their door. I can't see Philips or Shell asking for an audience with two nerds from Delft. Pity.

To the English speaking visitors who got to my site through the posting on Slashdot: the boxes in this picture above, taken in November, are similar to the ones that were featured in this week's PC World. See http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,114355,00.asp There's nothing secret about those devices: they connect your tv to your home network. As I understand, they were seen all over this year's CES.

The official Tivo statement says 'Strangeberry has created technology (...) designed to enable the development of new broadband-based content delivery services.' Judging by the resumes of the Strangeberry guys ( http://www.strangeberry.com/about), they are software specialists, not hardware guys.

Thanks for the translation! It was much easier to read your English than rely on my Dutch (none)!!
