AP - Atari could have redefined guns and gas pedal mayhem with the much anticipated "Driv3r" (pronounced Driver 3), the latest installment in a series of bad-boy-driving-'n'-violence titles. But there's nothing new here to see — nothing new graphically, emotionally, or functionally in the way of game play.

Sony's HMP-A1 VAIO Video Pocket Video
Review 06/16/2004 07:12 AM

Portable Media World (a spanking new sister site to our favorite French gadget site, Akihabara News) has a review of the HMP-A1, the second-generation video player from Sony. They're impressed by its fit-and-finish, but it's clear from the review that Sony has crippled the device, forcing the user to go through two different programs to copy audio and video to the unit (and no ATRAC, hilariously), as well as reencode most video before transferring it over (it supports MPEG 1/2/4 but not MPEG4 derivatives like DivX or XviD, apparently). Battery life varies wildly depending on how much decoding the HMP-A1 must do, but even when gnawing on the relatively dense MPEG2 files it manages around a 4 hour playback -- couple of movies worth, which is decent. Left-handed users get an unfulfilled tease, as the HMP-A1 supports a screen pivot for lefty use, but doesn't switch the directions of the controls, meaning scrolling down, for instance, will cause the HMP-A1 to scroll up.

It looks nice, but considering the major market for these units -- we geeks who rip our own DVDs, record TV, and download video (illegally) -- it's probably better to wait for one of the iRiver or Archos players that don't do annoying things like hide the directories on the hard drive.

Are In-House R&D Labs Outdated?

Are In-House R&D Labs Outdated? 03/08/2004 11:04 PM
Has start-up culture completely changed the idea of research and development? This isn't a new idea, as many companies have made this point in the past. However, here's an article raising the idea again. These days, with a (mostly) healthy venture capital industry, and a strong startup culture in the US, many tech companies are realizing that in-house R&D just isn't worth it. In some ways, it's the typical "decentralized vs. centralized" argument at work. With an in-house R&D system, you have a centralized solution, where limited resources force researchers to focus on specific problems, and they tend to focus on improving core products, without cannibalizing existing lines too much. This shows why they often get blind-sided by more disruptive technologies that change the market. With the decentralized startup model of research, lots of companies (funded by VCs) do all different types of research, and the bigger tech companies get to pick the more successful ones and buy them out. They may pay more, but the results are more proven in the marketplace, and they end up spending less on completely wasteful projects. Of course, it doesn't always work out that way, and there are plenty of stories of acquisitions gone bad (though, in many cases, this is because bigger companies losing marketshare tend to buy companies that simply prop up their obsolete offerings, rather than really jump into more revolutionary areas). The big downside of this model, of course, is that it makes integration much more difficult (another reason why many of these deals fail), but that doesn't seem to offset the upside. It will be interesting to see if the pendulum shifts back, or if the focus will remain on this more decentralized means of R&D.

If IKEA was a video game

If IKEA was a video game 01/25/2004 12:51 PM
Treating spousally mandated IKEA visits as a video-game seems like a pretty good coping strategy, especially when you've got a walk-through to crib from. This is a screamingly funny piece from The Morning News.

You start this world armed only with a UNIVERSAL FURNITURE-ASSEMBLY ALLEN WRENCH. This is the weakest weapon in IKEA: You will have to hit a person 16 times with it to kill them. So your primary goal in this level is to find more lethal means of dispatching your enemies.

As you enter the SHOWROOM, perform a rolling dodge to the left. Grab a free PAPER TAPE MEASURE and a handful of IKEA EMBLAZONED GOLF PENCILS from the kiosk near the entryway. The PENCILS serve quite well as ranged weapons, but it will take some time to master their use. Before venturing further in the world, stand at the kiosk and practice hurling GOLF PENCILS at patrons as they enter the SHOWROOM. Remember: Hitting the eyes does triple damage.
