MSN TV Broadband: High Speed Web TV

MSN TV Broadband: High Speed Web TV 07/27/2004 01:12 PM

It's not 1998, I promise, despite this announcement from Microsoft and Thomson to release an updated MSN-branded set-top box for browsing the web and streaming media from other household PCs. To launch in October, the $200 broadband-enabled box will come with a wireless keyboard and remote and will not have much in the way of built-in storage to "prevent vulnerability to virus attacks" (and to keep things cheap). MSN TV (formerly Web TV) has a small, if anachronistically loyal following, but is there really a need for a second generation, even if it does support broadband? Especially if it supports broadband?

The current-generation device is pictured; we'll get you pictures of the new device as soon as we can.

Sony is finally getting around to releasing their 2GB Memory Stick Pro Duo (High-Speed) cards. They announced these things back in September of 2004, and have kicked the release date back twice. The "(High-Speed)" in the name indicates the cards have a transfer rate of 80Mbps (10MB/sec), which is far more than you'll ever need for anything practical. Sony really needs to do something about this Memory Stick naming scheme, because it's getting to be like Street Fighter games. I needn't remind you this stick is PSP compatible.

High Speed XML Parsing is Not Intuitive

High Speed XML Parsing is Not Intuitive 02/11/2004 03:58 AM
For a PHP weblog, there haven't been many PHP articles or links recently. This is because I feel most recent PHP articles I read have nothing fresh to say, repeating material I linked to 2 or 3 years ago. Perhaps I'm getting jaded. So to keep things fresh, here's a new article, mostly original, and hopefully of some interest to everyone!

Last year, Tim Bray, one of the co-authors of the XML spec, mentioned that he used Perl regular expressions to parse XML.

Now here's the dirty secret; most of it is machine-generated XML, and in most cases, I use the perl regexp engine to read and process it.

I was struck by this because I would have thought XPath or SAX would provide better performance as they are APIs tuned specifically for XML.

I decided to do some benchmarks to determine which techniques were better. I also wanted a realistic test, so I benchmarked parsing the RSS feed of this web-site, searching for the contents of all title tags, and returning the contents as an array. The RSS file is from Nov 2003 (yes i did this benchmark that long ago), and is about 20K and has 12 title tags, so the returned array will have 12 title strings.

The techniques used were:

1. Regular expression: preg_match_all('/<title>([^<]*)/',$rss,$titles_arr))

2. Explode('<title>', $rss) then strip the matching </title> tag using strpos() and substr().

3. XPath, using $title_nodes = $ctx->xpath_eval("//title");

4. SAX, wrote an element handler function that matched and processed the title tag.

5. DOM, using $titles = $dom->get_elements_by_tagname('title'). Intuitively, this should have been the slowest, as the whole tree is generated.

Results

Here are the timings for processing the RSS file 1000 times. Faster is better.

            seconds       Relative 
                          to REGEX
REGEX       0.1080          1.00
EXPLODE     0.1696          1.57
DOM         6.3212         58.53
XPATH       8.3417         77.24
SAX        10.0851         93.38

Conclusion

Intutively, I would have thought that XPath would be the fastest as XPath expressions can be compiled and tuned for XML. But the best performance was achieved using regular expressions, which is what Tim is using.

It appears that the DOM, SAX and XPath libraries remain immature (compared to the Perl-compatible regex library) and are not highly optimized. Strangely enough, DOM performance is better than XPath and SAX! Perhaps someone else can explain why.

If anyone is interested, i can post the source.

Test platform: Windows 2000, PHP 4.3.3. I also tested on Linux, PHP 4.3.2, with similar results.

Free High-Speed Internet...May Not Be

Free High-Speed Internet...May Not Be 12/24/2004 12:57 PM

Something to look out for when you travel: hotels advertising "Free High-Speed Internet" may be fudging the terms just a little bit.

I stayed in a hotel in New Jersey once that advertised this. I was all excited to get my laptop hooked up and check my email when I discovered what it really meant —

They had some kind of Web TV thing. You got high-speed service to about 15 sites on the television: CNN, the New York Times, and a few others. To get "Free and Unrestricted High-Speed Internet," you had to pay $14.95 a day. And even then, you were still hampered by this crappier-than-WebTV interface that my Web mail refused to work for.

Needless to say, I was a little irritated. Now I never take "Free High-Speed Internet" at face value again. I always ask at the front desk. Not all hotels are this way (this one, in particular, was great), but has anyway else encountered this same problem?

Danger Hiptop SDK

Danger Hiptop SDK 03/19/2003 10:26 PM
The Danger Hiptop SDK is available. Boing Boing posted an inaccur ate rant from AaronSw about it; you actually can run your own apps on your own Hiptop. But it's still a problem that only T-Mobile-approved apps can be downloaded. It's increasingly clear that the cellular industry needs to be vertically disintegrated just like wired telcos and ISPs. People also need to learn that "unlimited" plans are part of the problem since they incentivize carries to screw with their customers to limit network usage. I'd much prefer an uncensored pay-per-bit plan (or Paris Metro Pricing).

Dissing the HipTop

Dissing the HipTop 03/20/2003 08:30 AM

A reader who wishes remain to anonymous wrote in to say that he's played with the new color HipTop from Danger, and that's not all that hot:

I saw a pre-production model while out in CA, and if the production model follows the same specs, it's got a *terrible* washed-out LCD display. Dual-scan, not active. Like you'd find on a toy. Given the cheap plastics and lousy build quality of the current units, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they do cheap out on the color ones, as well.

More on EV-DO and the color Hiptop

More on EV-DO and the color Hiptop 03/21/2003 12:13 AM

Rich Brome of PhoneScoop writes in with some comments about the color Hiptop and Verizon's new high-speed 1xEV-DO cellular network:

The color Hiptop will have a 65,000 TFT display. The Danger people told me at CTIA they have (had) various prototypes will all kinds of displays, but they have settled on the high-end TFT they were showing at CTIA, which I thought looked pretty good. Not the brightest, but very clear, colorful, and easy to read in most lighting.

The 1xEV-DO network set up at CTIA was a temporary one, and with so many temporary 3G networks of all types set up for demos for the show, the whole city was one big interference nightmare. There were just too many companies trying to put up extra temporary antennas on the roof, etc. - so that THEIR demo worked, other demos be damned. Everyone had cell phone problems the whole time (ironic, but it happens every time). There were many outages.

So I'm not at all surprised that the speed of the 1xEV-DO network didn't impress. In a real installation, the network would be optimized and interference issues would be worked out through months of testing and tweaking - something that was not possible just for CTIA. In Verizon's long-running tests in San Diego and Washington, the speed has been quite impressive.

Color Hiptop this summer?

Color Hiptop this summer? 03/19/2003 10:25 PM

Danger's been showing off a new version of its Hiptop mobile communicator with a color screen at the big Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association trade show this week. Should be out by summer, and hopefully settles the rumors that T-Mobile was dropping the Hiptop entirely.

Speaking of FCC leaks, looks like the Sidekick II -- note the T-Mobile 'Sidekick' branding, and not 'Hiptop' -- is approved for FCC use, which means among other things pictures and user manuals have been revealed. It looks similar to the unit we posted a few months ago, but it looks like the camera on the back might include a flash, to which we say with no shame at all, "Oh, snap!" (Okay, maybe a little shame). Go ahead and dig around on the FCC site and see what you can find and we'll do the same. Let's just hope and pray that camera is 1-megapixel plus.

After suffering through a year of terrible service and living with a broken phone for months while I waited for number portability, I finally switched from Cingular to AT&T Wireless last November, the day that number portability took effect. Cingular did a brief bit of marketing to me to try and convince me to stay with them. They offered new phones and touted their infrastructure upgrades but I could not be swayed. I still switched.

Now they’ve taken extreme measures to get me back as a customer. They bought AT&T Wireless for $41 billion dollars.

I really wanted the Motorola A630 to rock, but almost everyone who finally has gotten their hands on one has been less than impressed. This new LG phone for Cingular looks promising, though, if only because it's got a similar form factor and has a focus on IM. The LG F9100 doesn't even have Bluetooth or a camera, which is sort of a bummer, I guess, but I could deal with it if the IM client was well crafted. We'll see soon, I guess, as it's gotten FCC approval.
