...how about a $4,200 Alienware 4.2GHz gaming machine? An article on C-Net has details about the overclocked and liquid-cooled Pentium 4 Area-51 ALX desktop, which looks like it belongs on Captain Proton's spaceship.

It could also be mistaken for a 1950's-era toaster. Somebody ought to fill Alienware in on the fact that good design costs no more than bad design. And producing professional looking hardware — like the Apple G5 PowerMac — is probably less expensive than all the cheesy plastic eye candy.

Places Online
http://www.placesonline.org

The Association of American Geographers has gathered an array of websites that depict environments, people and life around the world. There is a high standard for inclusion in the site: the sites must be image and content heavy, and must be "primary" sites, as opposed to sites that only direct users to a list of links. Places Online is searchable, and also can be navigated by using an interactive map; the first level is by region/continent and the second level is broken down into countries and cities. Most sites are native to the region that is being explored, thereby giving a local flavor and perspective on the locales, events and experiences displayed.

when faraway places f*ck up NYC

when faraway places f*ck up NYC 08/09/2004 08:08 PM
Boom! Forget terror attacks, the real reason for an orange alert in NYC has to do with ... rocks. I'll bet you've never heard of Cumbr e Vieja. In fact, if the first hit on a google s earch for something is a PDF, you know it's obscure. (It's a volcano in the Canaries). If it erupts, it'll spell the end for Washington, New York and Boston (and parts of Europe will get a bit wet.) Hoo!

Now, short of hoping it will go away, there's nothing you can do, because it will take 35 million years to dismantle the dangerous bits of rock. Instead, the boffins are talking about evacuating the east coast. Yet more obscure places you wish you could forget menacing the future of the US, hey?

JiWire Separates Places from Providers

JiWire Separates Places from Providers 07/07/2004 12:55 PM
JiWire collapses providers into locations, offering a more distinct look at the world: JiWire has just finished a massive update to their site which features some redesign, but most significantly changes the way in which they count hotspots. Previously, each provider at each location was counted once. Now, they count providers at locations separately from unique locations. Their current count is 46,799 hotspots (providers for each location) and 35,695 unique locations, which are physical addresses with one or more provider offering service. This method extends the principles of counting uniquely to better understand the scope of networks that I've written about recently. JiWire continues to make it simple to find free hotspots. Click Hotspots at the top of any page or Advanced Search near any hotspot search form and you can check the Free button under Access Fee to restrict results to free locations. You can also read the first of an excellent service of features written by my friends Richard and Angela as they travel with their four kids of all ages from Maine to Michigan down to Texas and back to the lobster state by RV. They're running an Internet business as they spend a month traveling, and need relatively constant access to stay on top of their operations....

The Metasearch Initiative: Looking for Data in All the Right Places
http://snipurl.com/7ig2

Whether you call it metasearch, federated search or broadcast search, the idea of exploring multiple resources using a single interface has long been the pipe dream of libraries. Unfortunately, most of the disparate data resources patrons want to search serve their data in many different ways, or not at all. While Google and the like search anything, the challenge for the library profession is to create ways to search well in all the right places. At the 2003 ALA Midwinter Meeting, three vendors -- EBSCO, Gale and ProQuest -- met to discuss the problem. Led by the National Information Standards Organization, workshop meetings were held and the Metasearch Initiative was formed. With a mix of librarians, publishers and library-software providers, the Metasearch Initiative has drawn the participation of more than 60 individuals from five countries. Even large publishers who have already developed proprietary XML gateways are involved. The Metasearch Initiative intends to identify, develop, and frame the standards and other common understandings needed to enable an efficient and robust information environment. The Metasearch Initiative's goals are to enable service providers to offer more effective and responsive services, help content providers deliver enhanced content while protecting their intellectual property, and enable libraries to deliver services that distinguish their offerings from Google and other free Web search services.

Paul Krugman: The best places to get sick A dozen years ago, everyone was talking about an American health care crisis. But then the issue faded from view: A few years of good data led many people to conclude that HMOs and other innovations had ended the historic trend of rising medical costs. But the pause in the growth of health care costs in the 1990s proved temporary. Medical costs are once again rising rapidly and the U.S. health care system is once again in crisis. So now is a good time to ask why other advanced countries manage to spend so much less than we Americans do, while getting better results.

Offering Internet In Public Places:
Patented

Offering Internet In Public Places:
Patented 09/21/2004 12:29 PM
Just as more people are finally realizing the potential for a "pate nt apocalypse" if our patent system isn't fixed soon, we have yet another example of idiotic patents getting in the way of actual business. Wayport, the company that has offered both wired and wireless internet access in hotels, airports and random other places (such as McDonald's) for years has now been hit with a patent lawsuit from a tiny company in New Hampshire, called PowerOasis, that claims they've just received a patent on offering internet access in public places -- because, obviously, no one had ever thought of that idea before this company came along and patented it. Exactly which patents they're suing over isn't entirely clear. The company claims 2 patents in the space, but a search of the USPTO finds 3 patents in the company's name, all for a "Power and telecommunications access vending machine." No matter which patents are the ones they're suing over, the company's statements help demonstrate how bad our patent system has become: "Wayport has deprived PowerOasis of the ability to sell and expand its services in airports and other locations, including hotels, to an extent that cannot be calculated but that has severely hampered PowerOasis in its effort to expand its businesses." Read that a second time. Basically, PowerOasis is admitting that Wayport has a better sales and marketing force. No one at Wayport deprived PowerOasis of anything. They just beat them in the market. Too many patent holders these days seem to think that a patent (no matter how ridiculous it may be) entitles them to simply have the market, rather than still having to go out and win the market with a good product, backed up by a good sales and marketing team.
