Can You Play Eight Hours A Day And Still
Call It Casual Gaming? 05/28/2004 09:35 AM
A few months ago, we wrote that every few months there's an article somewhere about making video games for non-gamers - and they always seem to focus on making games for women. Well, it's been a few months, and Wired Magazine has decided it's their turn to write up an article about "casual gaming," which is what they seem to call the online gaming market for the relatively simple, but completely addictive games that many people play via EA's Pogo, Yahoo or MSN. This isn't a new idea, but it's amusing that every time it's written about, people write about as if no one knows that there are so many people (usually women) who actually play these games.

Participatory creativity is hot, hot. The Lollapoola Mash-Up Contest. Our Own GET CREATIVE! Moving Images Contest (winners to be announced next month). MoveOn.org's Bush in 30 Seconds advertisement contest. And now even the New Yorker has anno unced the winner of its own analog-version of an open-source creativity contest, which was more interactive than contests past. (Devoted New Yorker fans will want to watch the great slide show explaining the judging process.)

I don't remember the New Yorker's ever explaining the copyright policy for this. Who gets to keep the rights to the final cartoon? Can we re-use those little screwdriver or dog cut-outs for other purposes? And given that it's cut-outs we're talking about, how does first sale doctrine tie in to all this?

Clearly the average New Yorker reader -- or editor -- isn't as persnickety about their IP as some of us. Maybe next year they'll go CC.

An amazing week continues. First it was the victory in the RIAA case. Now news that Norway has acquitted Jon Johansen again. Stay tuned to the channel that has helped make much of this freedom possible -- EFF, and remember, it is the time for giving. (BTW: I'm a board member at EFF, and my job is supposed to include asking rich people to give lots of money to support EFF. As I hate the possible implicit quid-pro-quo in asking for lots of money, help me Dean-ify fundraising at EFF. Lots of small contributions, soon. Or, alternatively, if you'd like to give big, I guess that's ok too.)

Sleepwatcher Alarm Watch Reviewed
(Verdict: Fantastic)

Sleepwatcher Alarm Watch Reviewed
(Verdict: Fantastic) 03/24/2005 07:58 AM

We first mentioned the Sleeptracker watch earlier this month. Now, a watch designed to supposedly wake you up while at the lightest part of your sleep cycle leaving you completely rested sounds a lot like paid-advertising poppycock. Refreshingly enough, (note the subtle pun) the Sleeptracker more than lives up to its namesake and received quite a dreamy (omg again!) review from Gear Live.

They have developed a product that actually improves your quality of life. Waking up fully energized on a daily basis is just amazing. It is almost as if there is no lost time, and you just want to seize the day. The product did exactly what it said it would do.

Coming from an unbiased source, this is enough to make me really consider buying one, even though they're $150. Available now, read the full review at Gear Live.

So I'm a child. I know that. But surely I'm not the only one who has noticed the Cellpoint Flamingo Headset looks like a big, black cock hanging out of these people's ears? It may sound great, feel great, and have a long battery life—it still looks like a dong. If I'm going to pay $130 for a nubian schlong, it's going to be attached to something more substantial than six different rubber ear pieces.

(Verdict: Fantastic)

Mvisto Pocket DivX Player Reviewed
(Verdict: Fantastic) 04/19/2005 11:04 AM

I4U has a review on the Mvisto DivX Player. Very similar indeed to the Wigobyte Mvolt-100 Media Flash we mentioned last week, it lacks the Mvolt's soft, supple curves but includes a 40GB hard drive. (It may very well be an OEM derivative of the Wigobyte device, actually.) The Mvisto excels in playing back DivX files on your TV and can even read ISO files, allowing you to copy full DVDs with playback of all its special features. The on-screen interface actually looks quite charming, and it's powered through its USB port. (You use an adapter to plug into the mains when playing back on your TV.) The review is overall very favorable and the Mvisto is only $325 through MacPower distributors, although you have to contact them to purchase a unit for now.
