Nikon Ramps Up D70 Production, Makes
Noise About Leaving Film Behind
06/15/2004 01:05 PM
You know, there's not even that much to
say about these announcements anymore. Nikon announced that it intends
to slowly withdraw from the film camera market as it scales up
production of its hit prosumer D70 camera. There's some other minor
earnings numbers in the story on Reuters, but that's the gist of it.
Digital coming up. Film played out. As soon as I read the news, I
immediately stopped reading and ate a carrot -- that's about
the extent of my reaction to inevitability.

Are There Privacy Concerns In The Home
Of The Future?
Are There Privacy Concerns In The Home
Of The Future?
05/13/2004 12:29 PMSouth Korea is known for its widespread adoption of broadband and
wireless technologies. Many tech companies in the US like to use
South Korea as a testbed, since they believe the US is likely to
follow a similar path to South Korea rather than some place like
Japan. Now, Michael Kanellos is taking a look at the South Korean
effort to
make
the "connected home of the future" available today. It includes
plenty of connected appliances, screens everywhere, RFID chips that
monitor things and even a well connected car. The bathroom contains a
connected health monitor (want to send your latest data to the
doctor?) and flat screens so you can read the latest news. Kanellos
is worried about the privacy implications of all of this - but doesn't
seem to indicate what they are. Folks in South Korea don't seem all
that worried - they just want the technology to be available sooner
(and for less money). In fact, it's not entirely clear from the
article what the privacy implications really are. There's some vague
talk about RFID (which seems to have become universally associated
with "privacy risk" for no clear reason) and some worries about
hackers accessing your grocery bill. Of course, for those who already
shop online there are the same risks. Really, all this is doing is
putting more data online - which is always a risk - but it's a choice
that people can make in exchange for the benefits of the features in
such a system. If anything, hopefully trends like this will spur
better security and data protection techniques. However, immediately
tossing out the house of the future as a privacy risk, without
explaining where the real risk is, doesn't make much sense.
Smart Home Of The Future Designed For
Elderly
Smart Home Of The Future Designed For
Elderly
05/19/2004 04:23 AMThe BBC has an article about
yet another
"smart home of the future" with the focus here being on building
technology to help care for the elderly. Some of it seems pretty cool
(whether for the elderly or not), but much of it seems to be based on
the idea that the elderly people using the smart home of the future
will have little to no computer experience. While that may be true
for some older users today, you have to wonder how long that will be
true. Especially in developed countries (where these things are more
likely), more and more people joining the ranks of the elderly will
have some basic computing experience.
On future developments in home media
centres...
On future developments in home media
centres...
06/05/2005 10:48 PMA couple of days ago I was e-mail interviewed by a guy writing an
article on future developments in televisions and home media centres
who was interested in the piece I wrote on Social Software for Set-Top Boxes. For what
it's worth - here are my answers in full, slightly edited for
clarity:
In your presentation you outlined some interesting ideas (buddy
lists, watch with friends etc.) - Is anyone going down this route?
Online gaming is leading this kind of hybridised social /
entertainment stuff - things like Xbox Live already make it possible
for you to talk and chat and play alongside people from all over the
world - and to manage those relationships. Simultaneously, each of
these boxes is coming closer and closer to the idea of a home
entertainment hub, so I wouldn't be surprised if the edges between the
various activities you could do with them started to blur. Also,
around the same time that I put up my stuff on Social Software for
Set-Top Boxes, the PARC people also started talking about similar stuff.
Obviously, a huge amount of the technology that we take for granted
today was developed at PARC, so that bodes quite well for the
future.
Is TV and PC convergence a dead idea? I think the idea of a
screen in the corner of your room that you watch TV on and then
completely change modes so that you can do your taxes is pretty much
inevitably going to have limited appeal. There are machines that can
do this kind of stuff already of course, but they're really targeted
towards people with very limited space - students and the like. I
think the future looks much more interesting than that - with some of
the functionality that has been associated with PCs starting to appear
in entertainment appliances all around the home. The technology behind
all the devices is probably going to be pretty much the same and
slightly further off I think we can expect that they'll all be talking
to each other behind the scenes. The various devices in your home will
be acting together to give you relatively unified access to your data
and media and to the network - but each device will provide its own
way of mediating that data - it's own tailored interface.
What about the Apple media hub? Yeah, I don't know quite
what Apple are doing to be honest. With computer technology gradually
moving out of the desktop PC and into the rest of the home, you'd
think they'd be right at the forefront. That kind of thing - making
complex concepts and devices comprehensible - is exactly what they're
great at. Sony and Microsoft are clearly making huge inroads with
their gaming machines to the extent that they already have low-powered
media hubs attached to millions of televisions worldwide - I really
would have thought that Apple would similarly be looking to get into
that space by leveraging their advantage in the digital audio space.
But while there are rumours that the Mac Mini is destined to be a
foundation for that kind of thing, there's very little actual evidence
of it so far.
Is D-TV more likely to see a continuation of selected internet
or internet-like functions rather than fully-fledged net access?
Fundamentally the interface just isn't there for web-browsers on the
TV to really take off enormously. I don't doubt that people will
continue to develop them, and I don't doubt that there will be some
people who use them, but having to have an extra wireless keyboard or
input device and having to control the screen from the other side of a
room makes the whole enterprise less than optimal. In the longer term,
I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't pretty easy to install
network-enabled apps on your TV that allowed you to do things like
access your Flickr photostream or the iTunes music store, but I would
think you'll probably do that kind of stuff via a different
lean-forward interface somewhere else in your home.
How do the next generation of games consoles fit in to the
mix? I think they're fundamental - unlike with set-top boxes, it's
not a fully commoditised market, there's enormous scope for
technological development and each of the major players is throwing
enormous amounts of money into the area - often expecting years of
loss-leading before profit. Of course they're looking to the
future. Of course they're competing to own this new critical
space under the TV and at the heart of the connected home. That's not
to say that the gaming element is just a Trojan horse - it's clearly
not - but I think it's also fairly clear that it's not the end of the
road. The set-top box space is a really powerful and important area -
for a start it can potentially mediate all your media consumption.
Whoever controls that has a lot of power. And the market for operating
systems is huge - how many more people in the world have televisions
than computers right now? Think how much money you could make by
having your media centre installed on every new TV sold. And boxes
like the X-box are in the perfect space to position for that final
leap...

Blue Bands for Blue Budgets
Blue Bands for Blue Budgets
02/01/2005 10:09 PMI had to go all the way over to LISNews<
/a> to find out that a sister Library System here in Illinois has
started a totally awesome project called Libraries Matter. Here at home,
our kids saved up some money to buy the 10–pack of Lance
Armstrong yellow wristbands because they’re all the rage at
school. Can you imagine if we could start something similar with these
blue ones for libraries? Brilliant job, Alliance Library
System!
One thing, though – how about offering packs
smaller than 50 so that ordinary folks like myself can buy some and
give them out to friends, kids, etc.? Let’s get some grassroots
support going, not just top down from the institutional level! Then,
let’s think about how we can use these on Advocacy Day this
year.
Tangent: When visiting the ALS web site tonight,
I realized they’ve added blogs to the home page (kind of, sort
of). Sweet! Unfortunately, no RSS feeds to be found anywhere, which
means I won’t be able to add them to my aggregator, which means
I’ll have to keep relying on other web sites to highlight ALS
projects for me. Not sweet. C’mon, ALS, show us the RSS!
