Doom 3 Specs Revealed 07/21/2004 01:08 AM
The Houston Chronicle has the skinny on how much computing power will be needed to run id Software's Doom 3. Since its introduction in 1993, Doom has a history of pushing hardware to its limits; the 3rd release of Doom is no exception. According to CEO Todd Hollenshead the newly minted Doom will require at least an 1.5-gigahertz Intel Pentium 4 processor or AMD Athlon 1500, 384 MB of RAM, two gigabytes of free hard drive space and either a nVidia GeForce 3 or ATI Radeon 8500 (or better).

The TXTmob service came into force at the DNC protests, and has really taken off so far this week at the RNC protests, helping organize and coordinate events in real time. Here's a sample of some of the messages that were sent yesterday (there's a full archive on the site, but it requires registration:

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.

Exclusive: Microsoft Windows Mobile 2005
Revealed - Magneto 01/04/2005 03:07 PM
Tomorrow at CES it's likely that Bill Gates will further unveil parts of Microsoft's plans for the next generation of Windows Mobile. Currently in beta testing, Magneto is the code-name for what is expected to be finally named as Windows Mobile 2005.

Microsoft is progressing well with Magneto and is currently running a Beta 2 (v5.0.1512 Build 14207) dogfood test internally. The first release candidate of Magneto is expected on the 16th February with an RTM following on the 13th April. Currently Microsoft are only testing Magneto on the Motorola MPx220 Smartphone. This indicates that the device will be able to be upgraded sometime this year. It's unclear what others devices will be supported for upgrade.

Magento promises a lot of improvements from previous versions of Windows Mobile including some major UI overhaul. Microsoft are improving the contacts part of Windows Mobile. ActiveSync 4 (currently in beta at v4.0.0 Build 4200) will allow the synchronisation of Outlook contact pictures. This will be for both smartphone users and Pocket PC users. There will be improved finger accessibility of communications methods on Pocket PC and a new International address parser meaning that each country will be properly parsed and the addresses/phone numbers recognised.

Media support will be improved upon. Users will be able to watch a picture slideshow, send pictures via email, or set pictures as a homescreen background. Windows Media Player 10.x Mobile will ship with Magento with improved Media Library + Browsing, robust play list support, improved Media Sync, Album art and rating and improved skins. Improvements in Windows Media Player will allow for Pluggable file and streaming formats and codec's and Hardware decode assist. The latest Janus DRM support will also be available.

Pocket PC users will be pleased to hear that Microsoft are creating a "Pocket PC Persistent Store". The annoying thing with current Windows Mobile versions is the loss of data if you forget to charge your device, the Pocket PC Persistent Store will elimate this even if you don't charge. Pocket PC users will be able to use PowerPoint Mobile, to view decks on the go before presentations. Improvements in Word will allow users to View/edit text, charts, lists, bullets. Improvements in Excel will allow users to View/edit/roundtrip charts (bar, column, pie, area, line and scatter).

Internet Explorer Mobile will be improved upon. Full screen viewing, a progress bar to help users gauge download progress and a security icon to indicate when secure pages are being accessed.

Windows Mobile 2005 will support Wi-fi for smartphones. A big step and a big step in the right direction. WPA will be supported and users will be able to talk on their phones whilst using Wi-fi. Microsoft will actively support VoIP via Wi-Fi for Enterprise customers.

One of the most exciting things about Magento is the increased user interface customisation. There is a dialling canvas for UI and functionality, title bar icon flexibility and grid view for smartphones.

So to encourage Japanese people to actually spend 120 yen (about $1.09) on a single can of soda, Coca-Cola today announced the "Cmode 2" vending machine, which allows customers with cellular phones to purchase drinks "cashlessly" one of three ways - two-dimensional barcodes, infrared, and the FeliCa contactless IC system. Though cashless "Cmode" vending machines have been in various places throughout Japan since April of 2002, these are the first vending machines to support contactless IC as a method of transfer.

With drink names like "Qoo," "SCORPION," and "Lovebody," who could resist?

Coke Machine Hacks

Xeni Jardin: HOWTO doc on hacking Coke vending machines by way of the drink selection buttons on the front display. Link (Thanks, Jason Sutton). Mirror one, Mirror two, and Google cache (Thanks, Dan, Jackson Baker and Scott M.)

Update:: Reader Chris Vincent says,

Just thought I'd point out that most of the content on those sites (including the Coke machine article) is verbatim from the Anarchist's Cookbook, a legendary collaborative document that can be found all over the internet. Everything from social engineering to fun explosives to (obviously) Coke machine hacks can be found there.

Another interesting bit of information, this time about Pepsi machines (not from the cookbook, just something I found out about last week):

New Pepsi machines have a "code", a special sequence in which you can push the buttons on the face of the machine, which causes the LED screen to report the number of cans sold and the total cash value. I'm not sure what that code is, and it may be configurable on a per-machine basis. I'm sure somebody out there can shed more light on it than me.

Militar y frets over Coke's phones, GPS: The military is asking soldiers to "examine their Coke cans" before bringing them into meetings. Pepsi is about to take a huge leap in the military market.

There's a new security threat at some of the nation's military bases, and it looks uncannily like a can of Coke.

Specially rigged Coke cans, part of a promotion, contain cell phones and global positioning chips. That has officials at some installations worried that the cans could be used to eavesdrop, and they are instituting protective measures.

Security Guard UVS Patrol Bots

Security Guard UVS Patrol Bots 11/10/2003 10:56 PM
You're starting to see them, right? The robot security guard with the yellow flashing light on top? CBC in Canada has an article about the U.S. military seeking robotic technology made-in-Canada. Unmanned Vehicle Systems (UVS), are the guard/sentrys of the future and the american military seems to be a big user of this technology. Cerkits Corporation Inc. in Canada has created robots such as MAGS (Mobile Autonomous Guard System) and The Prowler to fulfill these guard and sentry needs. At $85k each, these robots may not perform as well as a human would, but they're easier to cover the landscape with for guarding things like oil pipelines, fence lines, and parking lots and allows for fewer human casualties. So, you always thought that if you ever needed a job, you could always take a low paying security guard job? That may not always be the case in the future. Expect to see more robot security guards watching your every move and while giving you the freedom to search out higher paying jobs.
