Electric Shock-Based Snore Stopper

Electric Shock-Based Snore Stopper 04/14/2005 10:03 AM

The Healthcare Snore Stopper presents a rather interesting, Pavlovian take on preventing snoring by emitting a gentle ("harmless", they say) electrical signal when it detects your snoring. In theory, your body will learn to stop shocking itself over time in a form of aversion therapy and as a bonus, the device conveniently avoids waking either of you up. It can be worn on the wrist and is available for just about $60. Also, note the clever use of foreground in their product photo. Subtle.

AOL Offers Spyware Stopper... Just After
They Started Offering Spyware 04/22/2004 02:36 AM
Just a few weeks after saying that they're going to start bundling spyware/adware with their instant messenger product, AOL announces their latest anti-spyware application. While we've been complaining about anti-spyware from ISPs that just points out the spyware, AOL claims that this version will disable (though not delete) the spyware. I wonder if it will catch the spyware that AOL installs themselves.

John Battelle's new startup

John Battelle's new startup 04/17/2005 01:29 PM
David Pescovitz: Congratulations to Boing Boing band manager John Battelle on the launch of his next media startup! We're thrilled to be FM Publishing's first lab rat. From the new company blog:

For now, the company is called "FM Publishing." The "FM" stands for "Federated Media" - a nod toward the fundamental idea behind the company - that of federation, as opposed to ownership (it's also sort of a nod to the evolution of a medium - e.g. radio going from AM to FM). The company is a publishing business focused on high quality content - that should come as no surprise to those of you who know what I love to do. But the difference is that I do not plan to "own" most of the content that will be critical to FM. Instead, I plan to partner with site authors, acting as a platform which provides important services to them - revenue (in the form of advertising), back end support, and the like. In essence, FM will act as a publisher to sites which need and want a publisher. We don't plan to take a lot of folks on, initially, but hope to grow over time.

FM was inspired by the things I learned writing the book, as well as running Searchblog and acting as Band Manager for Boing Boing. For now, nothing is really changing with regard to my role at Boing Boing, but when FMP is up and running, it's my goal to move BB's business services over to FMP, and the kind folks behind BB have agreed - at least in principle. I still have to deliver what I say I can deliver, and that's non trivial....

I'm not allergic to financial investors - folks who put money in with the express intent of getting a lot more money out - but for now, I prefer to keep it strategic, and small. In fact, I hope to build FMP in a very Web 2.0 way - a lightweight business model focused on innovation in assembly, driven by the force of many - you get the picture.

Korean USB Memory Startup

Korean USB Memory Startup 09/24/2004 07:22 AM

A Korean startup with a line of patented USB memory stick products is looking for US partners.  Their product is selling well in Korea but they don't know where the cluetrain stops are in the US so they need help.

I get a lot of requests like this but this is the first time I posted about it.  Why?  Because it's one of those father's friend's son type of thing.  Not as thick as blood but near enough to motivate me to move a few more extra muscles than usual.

Startup Execs Harder To Come By?

Startup Execs Harder To Come By? 09/14/2004 06:22 PM
While VCs are back to funding startups, without a really hot IPO market, it seems that many startups are having difficulty attracting top-notch executives. At least that's what the article suggests. Apparently, execs don't necessarily want to jump on the next hot thing, without some form of stability (read: more cash) or a higher likelihood of an IPO (read: potential for a lot more cash). Of course, it sounds like some of the requirements companies are putting out are a bit stringent. I agree that experienced execs are very useful to startups, but too often it seems that startups look for the perfect exec who has done exactly the same thing in the past. Those candidates aren't always the best. They may have gotten lucky in a previous startup and now feel they know everything, while a smarter, hungrier less "experienced" exec may be able to do more to drive a startup forward. Either way, if the IPO market takes off again, it's likely these missing startup execs will return -- and that might not be a good thing. A startup exec who jumps ship just because of the opportunity for a big cash payout isn't always going to be the best person to help build a sustainable company. You want someone who believes in the long-term potential of the company and its vision -- not the short-term potential of an IPO.

System Tray Whack-a-Mole

System Tray Whack-a-Mole 01/27/2004 06:22 PM

One of my biggest pet peeves is Windows software that doesn't run need to run all the time, but still feels the need to put some crappy icon in the system tray. Honestly, folks, there's not much legitimate reason for Real Player and Quicktime to have components that start up every time I run my computer. To me, adding an unnecessary icon to my system tray is only slightly more polite than taking a dump on my front porch.

Mike Lin has written two great apps to help with this. One's called Startup Control Panel, which provides a quick interface to view (and optionally remove) all of the things that start up when you log in. There are a half dozen places in the registry that do this, so it's great to have them all together like this. I was amazed to find programs in there for about 8 shareware programs that I tried once and never used again.

Once you're clean, you can stay that way with Startup Monitor, a very tiny app that runs in the background and lets you know when a program is trying to put more crap in your startup, and gives you the option of preventing it.

These apps probably aren't for novice users, as some of these programs may not run well without their startup components, but geeks will appreciate the convenience.

Check out some of the other programs on Mike Lin's site while you're there. Mike is apparently an evil genius, and has concocted quite a few small, light apps that address some of Windows' niggling little annoyances.
