Mobile Phone Birth Control

Mobile Phone Birth Control 03/06/2004 02:05 AM
Missed this one when it first came out, but thanks to Charles W. for submitting this bit of satire, poking fun at the trend these days to build all sorts of extra add-ons to mobile phones. While the writer comes up with a bunch, the main focus of the article is mobile phone birth control, which is described as working by projecting "a high-intensity ultra-sonic electromagnetic "sound cone" that is inaudible to the human ear but fatal to any sperm cell within a range of six meters." Even better, the user doesn't have to do anything, as it will work automatically at the necessary moment: "You don't need to even turn it on. It's voice-activated. You place it near the bed, or any other site of amorous activity. You can even hang the mobile phone around one partner's neck. Then, as soon as someone yells, 'Oh, God! Oh, God!' — or anything like it — the Nippit sound cone activates, sending out deadly waves of spermicidal ultra-sonic electromagnetism. Any sperm that shows its little head is a goner before he can finish his first wiggle." Of course, like all contraceptives, it's not foolproof: "if an incoming phone call arrives at the "moment of truth," diverting the handset's attention, a pregnancy could result." A bit of Friday evening satire to send you off into the weekend...

Make me a post I couldn't refuse 03/13/2003 10:22 AM

With the recent proliferation of camera phones and hiptops, I figured it was only a matter of time before slick tools came out to support them. I've heard about all sorts of home-brew solutions, but pop2blog looks like the first generic mobblog solution, and it seems general enough to work with camera phones and plain email as well.

It's interesting that the integration of blogging tools with email services is just happening now, when many blog authors and app developers are getting devices that rely on email for getting messages and photos out. For at least the past two years, I've often encountered people new to weblogs, but experts in computing and the internet ask for email-to-blog functionality in all their tools. This is especially true in the business world, where email has been a mainstay, and blogging is nascent. And for some people, email is their preferred interface for all online transactions, and they're surprised when they hear that built-in support for email-to-blog posting is almost entirely nonexistent.

I know that bridging the protocols and standards between email and web-based blog applications isn't the easiest thing to accomplish, but why weren't developers listening to their users for the past couple years?

Conscience Clauses and Health Care --"Yes, we need to respect individual freedom of religion. But at what point does it cross the line of not providing essential medical care? At what point is it malpractice?" she asked. "If someone's beliefs interfere with practicing their profession, perhaps they should do something else." The Protection of Conscience Project feels differently: Protection of Conscience Laws are needed because powerful interests are inclined to force health care workers and others to participate, directly or indirectly, in morally controversial procedures, while NARAL says: ... Many of these clauses go far beyond respecting individuals' beliefs to the point of harming women by not providing them with full information or access to medical treatment. Medicine, not ideology, should determine medical decisions.

CD Pricing Study

"From Ipsos-Insight’s TEMPO (cited last week in some circles) : Consumers Expect Substantial Savings On Digitally Distributed Albums

'Regardless of downloading experience, American Internet users aged 12 and older stated an acceptable price range of $9.99 to $14.99 for a new, full-length physical CD release. In contrast, the acceptable price range for a digitally distributed, full-length album download is only between $5.00 and $9.99 – roughly $5.00 less than for a physical CD. These findings are based on recent interviews conducted with a representative U.S. sample of 488 Internet users aged 12 and over.

'A roughly $5.00 decrease in the range of acceptable prices for a new, full length album distributed digitally versus in a physical format represents a significant decrease in perceived value for this product based solely on format or distribution method,' stated Matt Kleinschmit, a director of research at Ipsos-Insight, and the study’s author.'

The Los Angeles Times goes multimedia 03/21/2003 12:14 AM
The Los Angeles Times goes multimedia. For the past few weeks, the LA Times has begun a significant push into offering video, audio, and interactive Flash on their website. One of the most interesting aspects is that the paper has moved one step beyond simply replaying AP Television clips as many sites have done; the LA Times writers are stand before the cameras and microphones themselves and report stories in a stuttering, non-hairsprayed, introverted demeanor that I find very refreshing, though so far I have gleaned very little additional information from it. When does (or can) this mode of journalism on the web rise above gimmickry or 'just because we can' and add value to a written article? Can video/tv news rise above mere spectacle?
