The Antelope arrives


The Antelope arrives 10/29/2003 02:17 AM
Gosh, we remember when the Antelope Modular Computing Core was just vaporware, way back in the halcyon days of late 2002. But despite all the haters who said it'd never come out, the Antelope MCC has arrived. About the size of a deck of cards, the MCC is a tiny 1GHz computer with 256MB of RAM and a 10 or 15GB hard drive that runs a full version of Windows XP. The idea is that the core -- which by the way, costs $4,000 -- pops into a docking station with a screen and keyboard if you want to use it like a desktop, or into a smaller PDA-type shell if you need something more portable.

news-ant-2.jpg imageHandtops has nice overview of the Antelope MCC, the 'modular computing core' computer that uses swappable cores to allow you to move you environment from a desktop dock to a handheld shell computer, enabling a complete environment migration if you need to move on the go. And that would be great and all if Antelope didn't completely shit themselves with the price -- we're talking around $4,000 to buy all the pieces to take advantage of it -- and that's without a lot of normal features like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth built in.

They claim to be for the business segment, and that's fine, but if you're going to charge a fully-premium price for something, you better have an all-around premium product.

The Antelope has been out for almost a year, but it's been at least that long since we've vented our impotent rage at it, so there you go.

The NYT is reporting that AOL is providing software to customers to block pop-ups. The sheer number of ironies in this article is simply delicious, and renders further comment unnecessary: 1) "AOL pioneered the often annoying but effective pop-up format" 2) "10 percent of its users had chosen not to receive pop-ups from AOL's own service, an option that has been harder to find than the new blocking software." Hard to find? Almost impossible. 3) "the number of sites that will accept pop-ups is increasing, including ever more sites owned by AOL Time Warner like Mapquest and CNN.com."

prod_ws200axbt.jpg imageNow I don't know what exactly you'd want to use this Waysmall 200ax-bt 200MHz computer with integrated Bluetooth for, but that's not because it's useless. Just the opposite, in fact. For $184 you get a low-power computer running the Linux 2.6.0 kernel with webserver and remote login and power management circuity on-board. Throw a solar cell onto this little bad boy and you could do all sorts of fun things, like embedding a permanent webserver into a building, controlling a swarm of wireless robots, or developing the first Bluetooth-enabled loaf of bread. At just 8.3 by 3.6 centimeters, the 200ax-bt still manages to pack in USB, serial, sound, and LCD controller - now with AC adapter!

Olympic-Sized Arrogance


Olympic-Sized Arrogance 08/21/2004 02:40 PM
  • AP: Olympians largely barred from blogging. Athletes may be the center of attention at the Olympic Games, but don't expect to hear directly from them online -- or see snapshots or video they've taken.
  • This is about greed, nothing more and nothing less. It is about the historically corrupt International Olympic Committee's desire to please the giant media organizations to which it has sold "rights" to tell and show the world what is happening. The irony here is that the olympic officials are inadvertently telling us something about the future of journalism, though I'm certain they don't understand it themselves, in the context of their heavy-handed (and probably illegal) action. Because the more that regular folks -- OK, that's a stretch for the athletes -- put their own work on the Web or send it to each other by other means, the more they are becoming some of tomorrow's journalists. But the move is ridiculous. If an athlete phones a friend and reports what's happened, and the friend posts it online, is that somehow breaking the rules? Go further. Look past today's technology. What's coming will utterly wreck the Big Media monopoly over Olympic images, and all Big Event images. When all spectators have a high-quality video camera in their phones, will the powers-that-be ban phones? Unlikely. But even if they could ban phones that are obvious, what will they do when we're carrying video cameras in the buttons on our shirts, and when our eyeglasses contain phones or other transmitting devices? I hope athletes break this rule right and left. I also hope that they declare independence someday from the cynical and corrupt organizations that have run international sports for so long. The games are about the athletes, or should be. Also:
  • Larry Magid also finds it outrageous, but sees athletes' blogging "more like a letter home" than journalism. I'm not so sure I can draw the line anymore.

    PATRIOT in bite-sized chunks


    PATRIOT in bite-sized chunks 05/16/2004 04:54 AM
    I'm giving a talk in Barcelona on Wednesday about the USA PATRIOT Act, and so I've been boning up on EFF's analysis of this sweeping, unconstitutional law. Of particular help has been the clause-by-clause analyses that our staff attorney Kevin Bankston's been writing for EFFector, EFF's weekly newsletter. If you ever wondered what the big deal was about PATRIOT, Kevin's blurbs will explain it all -- in bite-sized, layperson-friendly chunks.
    Apologists justified the broad, civil-liberties corroding powers granted to the government under the USA PATRIOT Act by arguing that they would be used to put terrorists behind bars. Yet several provisions can be used against Americans in a wide range of investigations that have nothing to do with terrorism. Others are too vague, jeopardizing legitimate activities protected under the First Amendment. Worse, the Department of Justice has worked to expand and/or make permanent a number of these provisions -- despite the fact that they were sold to the public as "temporary" measures and are scheduled to expire, or "sunset," in December of 2005.

    Real Pocket Sized Computers That You
    Still Can't Buy
    02/12/2004 02:44 AM
    For years, we've been hearing about companies working on truly small handheld computers. These are full powered machines running real desktop operating systems on devices just a bit larger than a standard PDA. The Guardian has written up an article c omparing the three major players in the space - and all I can say is, that I'll believe it when I can buy one. OQO has received the most hype, with the least to show until just recently. They've definitely modified their design from the original plans (and doubled their expected price...) so that their device is more like a giant Danger Hiptop with a pop out keyboard tucked under the screen. The folks at Tiqit are great, and once took the time to show me around their offices and let me test out their devices (which worked great). Their device is more like a giant Handspring Treo, with a small screen and a keyboard on the front of the device below the screen. Finally, Antelope is a spin-off from IBM who came up with this sort of concept in the first place, and are forging ahead with the original concept that OQO pitched and abandoned (and Tiqit toyed with, and abandoned) of created a "core" with a variety of different shells. This is still the idea that appeals to me the most. If you need your computer to be a desktop, you pop the core into your desktop docking station. Need it to be a laptop, you pop it into your laptop shell. If you need it to control your car, you pop it into the car docking station. To be honest, they all sound wonderful - but none of them are on the market yet. The article says they're all planning to release versions on the market soon, which would be great if they haven't been saying that for years. No doubt that these are all very cool. I definitely wouldn't mind having one around. However, until there's a way to actually buy one, you have to be a bit skeptical of their ability to come to market.

It's "Professional Disc for DATA," one of Sony's attempts at taking a piece of the next generation optical media market. This Buffalo drive isn't the first PDfD drive (Sony launched one we reported a few months back), and it will still set you back about 390,000 yen (~$3,500), but where else can you find a PC and Mac way to write 23.3GB in 43 minutes?

    USB-powered travel-sized Xmas tree


    USB-powered travel-sized Xmas tree 11/19/2003 08:13 AM
    Imagine that you're a business-traveller whose whole life is packed into a 22 kg, Euro-airline-compliant rolling suitcase. Imagine it's the holiday season. There's no way you're going to pack a Xmas tree into your little roll-along, even though it would brighten up the generic hotel-room something fierce, especially when augmented by a couple airline-sized miniature liquor bottles, a carton of convenience-store eggnog, and the warbling of the bolted-down television tuned to a Donny and Marie Xmas Special.

    Fear not. The USB Christmas Tree Light glows in six neon colors, packs handily into even the smallest suitcase, and has a candy-cane-striped cable that you can plug straight into your laptop for hours of lonely, festive fun. So draw the blackout curtains, drown out the roar of the passing airplanes, and hoist a phlegm-nog while you contemplate your email by the light of this cheery bit of decor. Link (via Gizmodo)

    Alternate history in bite-sized

    Alternate history in bite-sized
    chunklets
    06/12/2004 03:56 PM
    "Today in Alternate History" is a site that racks, in "today in history format," several alternate history timelines. It's nice skiffy narrative in bite-sized chunks:
    in 1862, the Human League takes credit for a series of bombings against Mlosh citizens of Britain. The Crown vows to catch them, but there are sympathetic elements in Scotland Yard that slow the investigation.

    in 1934, Pascal, LLC, with the assistance of Carla Lambert, persuaded Congress to fund a system of linking Eddies together such that they could share information constantly. Using telegraph lines and radio frequencies set aside for them by the Congress, Pascal constructed a Knowledge Railroad that made the almost instantaneous transmission of information possible across the nation.

    in 1958, Buddy Holly reunited with his old band, The Crickets, for a successful US tour. This reunion produced such hits as I'll Be Lovin' Her, Puerto Rican Mama, and their remake of I'll Be Seeing You.

    in 1977, President Reagan enacted sweeping tax cuts, mostly aimed at the well-to-do, but with some at lower ends of the economic spectrum. They didn't prove to be the stimulus he expected, though, and the nation plunged into a deep recession.

    in 1982, King Charles of England called on all exiled nobles of England to return and take their rightful place at his side. He announced a general amnesty for those who had supported the Nazis, and declared that England would rise again to its former glory.

    in 1992, filmmaker Oliver Stone releases JBR, in which he attempts to give credence to People's Attorney Presley's arguments that Comrade President Rosenberg was killed by a conspiracy rather than a lone counter-revolutionary. The film is a huge success, prompting the Communist Party to call for its banning.

    Tristan Louis writes "After much reading and thinking about convergence, I started putting together what I hope can eventually become a grand unified theory of convergence in digital media. I call the concept "Modular by Design". The intro defines the concept, which I followed up so far with posts about its impact on the music industry in general, the Digital download music arena in particular and broadcast TV. Over the next few days, I plan to also create entries about cable TV, telephony, news gathering (weblogs?), and software." Interesting theory, which is similar to what some others have been talking about lately as well. This does put it all into a nice reference frame, however. It's basically taking the web-services model and applying it to just about anything digital, recognizing that opportunity grows via network effects of being able to easily connect the various modules. There are still business model questions raised, but business models have a way of following opportunities without much difficulty.

    A New Class of Applications.

    Took a look at SimpleViewer, "a free, customizable Flash image viewing application". It's downloaded to your webserver, simply installed, and configured by XML. The design philosophy has a lot in common with worldKit: simple, powerful, self hosted, swf ubiquity, low cost (well free). Zoomify, "Fast, hi-res images in Flash" is another flash based product, with a similar philosophy (and a really great product :: I'm working on integrating with worldKit).

    It's different than Rich Internet Applications, because this software is designed to enable creation. Put sophisticated tools in the hands of people with millions of ideas, specialized knowledge, and the will to share it.

    Laszlo and their steal able widgets are another take. It's also related to Marc's Digital Lifestyle Aggregators and the widespread New Kinds of Microcontent. And the mutlitude of javascript widgets, for blogrolling and weather and technorati and moods. Include myRadio nuggets too.

    I'm not too sure a super, solve-everything, micro-content browser is coming around any time soon. It may not be doable. Putting together smaller, focused pieces definitely is.

    Ultra X-Connect Modular PSU


    Ultra X-Connect Modular PSU 08/09/2004 07:27 AM

    xcon1.jpg imageI didn't even have to read ViperLair's review of the Ultra X-Connect 500 Watt PSU (that's power supply unit, the thing that gives your PC juice) to know that it is going to be a big hit among the build-your-own PC set - that just took one look at a picture. Not only is the entire thing chromed (shiny is the case modding geek kryptonite. Well, that and actual glowing kryptonite) but it's also modular, which is to say that instead of five or six power connection cords running out in a bundle from the back of the PSU, there is instead normal, swappable cables that can be connected as you need them. Not only does that look nicer, but the lack of extraneous wires means more air can flow around inside your case.

    At $129 it's a little more expensive that a standard PSU, but compared to other high-quality 500 watt power supplies, it's really not bad. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the included shielded cables are UV ready, meaning they glow under blacklight. You know, just in case that matters.

    Ecosmart Portable Modular Fireplace

    splash_2.jpgAt first glance, this ethanol-powered fireplace seems like a waste of perfectly good booze. While we all like curling up to a fire with the Missus, we obviously also enjoy a fine, long bender involving a jukebox, a forlorn love letter, and a bottle of grain alcohol.

    This modular fireplace by Ecosmart allows you to place a burning object anywhere in your home. Powered by ethanol or its minty-fresh cousin, methylated spirits, these $2200-$7000 fireplaces seem to be just extremely expensive alcohol lamps, but what do I know?

    danese_toolbar_rota_2_1_.jpgDanese Milano offers up their modular desktop container system, called the Toolbar. Based on "cells," each cell can contain modules—a penholder container, a CD holder, a document holder and the like. A horizontal bar lets you hang them up on the wall if you so choose and obsessive-compulsives can tweak the layout and order to their heart's content. MoCo Loco has more pics and a bit more info, but I'm relatively certain it's not for sale yet/ever, sadly—I'd love to pick one of these up at Office Max or a finer office furnishings store.

    Interesting note on Dave Hyatt's site about Dashboard and the version of Safari that will ship with Tiger (Hyatt is the lead developer on Safari): [The Dashboard widgets] are Web pages, plain and simple (with extra features thrown in for added measure). Apple's own web site says "build your own widgets using the JavaScript language", but that's sort of misleading. The widgets are HTML+CSS+JS. They are not some JS-only thing....

    OK - so contro versy aside about ripping off Konfabulator - Apple's Dashboard brings to light some really interesting notions of pluggable modules. It's an idea who's time has come.

    That's always what I wanted Macromedia's product line to look like. If you can imagine a word processor, speadsheet and contact list all working together - from different vendors - yes - that's what Longhorn will enable.

    Microsoft has (for years) been evolving and grokking how this should work. Outlook now uses the Word text editor. Spell checking, browsing and messaging are ubiquitous OS features.

    But they gotta open it up for us all to use. That's what was wrong with OLE.

    I hate to say this - but I predict that within one year they'll be open standards for interconnecting modules together - sort of inter-module APIs - to flow micro-content, communication and 'activity based' computing.

    But generalizing a combination of tasks and interaction as "activities" - we'll be able to reduce everything to APIs and schemas. This is ONE of teh big innovations perculating up from the blogosphere, DLAs (digital lfiestyle aggregators) and open source movement.
