2Wire MediaPortal


2Wire MediaPortal 01/03/2005 02:48 PM

2wire_mediaportal.jpg imageThere's an opportunity for set-top manufacturing companies like Moxi and 2Wire to really outclass TiVo, simply because they designing devices around a very specific set of, well, specifications. The newly announced 2Wire MediaPortal, for instance, isn't just a satellite receiver. It's also an internet/Ethernet-enabled media streamer with a built-in 250GB hard drive, designed to provide all the PVR functions you'd expect, (including HD recording), as well as over-the-wire on demand content. Wrapping that all up in a cohesive, consistant interface makes for a much more pleasant, integrated experience that generic set top boxes can't as easily provide.

Wouldn't it be hot to type "Law & Order" in the search field, then page through results that included PVR-recorded shows, ripped DVDs, live TV, on demand streaming media, and downloaded videos that live on your PC's networked storage? This MediaPortal box can't do all of that (the DVD ripping and the downloaded movies part might be trouble), but it can do everything else, plus stream your home content to a mobile device. Who knows how well it'll all work together, but it holds a lot of promise.

2Wire Boosts Reach


2Wire Boosts Reach 12/02/2003 02:32 PM
2Wire's new products aim to extend Wi-Fi deeper in the home. The combined DSL/Wi-Fi modem uses 400 milliwatts of power, far more than most Wi-Fi access points, and uses three antennas. These upgrades, 2Wire claims, extend coverage in a wider footprint. SBC and BellSouth both sell modems from 2Wire. 2Wire calls the radio 802.11b and the release doesn't mention that customers can only use a compatible 2Wire card, so it sounds like this complies with standards. The release should be available here at some point....

Spidering Hacks


Spidering Hacks 11/01/2003 12:57 PM
The latest book in the O'Reilly Hacks series, "Spidering Hacks," (written by Kevin "Morbus Iff" Hemenway and Tara "ResearchBuzz" Calishain) is out. It's the site-scraper's bible, with 100 tips and tricks for sucking in data from the Web.
Spidering Hacks takes you to the next level in Internet data retrieval--beyond search engines--by showing you how to create spiders and bots to retrieve information from your favorite sites and data sources. You'll no longer feel constrained by the way host sites think you want to see their data presented--you'll learn how to scrape and repurpose raw data so you can view in a way that's meaningful to you.

Written for developers, researchers, technical assistants, librarians, and power users, Spidering Hacks provides expert tips on spidering and scraping methodologies. You'll begin with a crash course in spidering concepts, tools (Perl, LWP, out-of-the-box utilities), and ethics (how to know when you've gone too far: what's acceptable and unacceptable). Next, you'll collect media files and data from databases. Then you'll learn how to interpret and understand the data, repurpose it for use in other applications, and even build authorized interfaces to integrate the data into your own content.

Industrial-Strength Tips & Tools by Tara Calishain & Rael

The Internet puts a wealth of information at your fingertips, and all you have to know is how to find it. Google is your ultimate research tool--a search engine that indexes more than 2.4 billion web pages, in more than 30 languages, conducting more than 150 million searches a day. The more you know about Google, the better you are at pulling data off the Web. You've got a cadre of techniques up your sleeve--tricks you've learned from practice, from exchanging ideas with others, and from plain old trial and error--but you're always looking for better ways to search. It's the "hacker" in you: not the troublemaking kind, but the kind who really drives innovation by trying new ways to get things done. If this is you, then you'll find new inspiration (and valuable tools, too) in Google Hacks from O'Reilly's new Hacks Series.

OCLC Hacks 02/01/2005 10:09 PM

OCLC is is loosening up and having some fun in a Google Labs kind of way!

OCLC Research Software Contest

“In celebration of libraries and their heritage of technological innovation, OCLC Research is sponsoring a software contest to encourage innovation in the use of web-based services for libraries.

Prize

  • $2,500 in cash
  • Visit with OCLC Online Computer Library Center Inc., in Dublin, Ohio
  • Potentially have your code incorporated in OCLC services for libraries

The challenge

OCLC is providing a set of bi bliographic records extracted from WorldCat plus a set of services:

You may also use Open WorldCat, either by simply incorporating links to publicly accessible records or by enrolling in Open WorldCat's Partner Access program. Contact us if you wish to discuss enrolling in this program for the purposes of this contest.

Your mission is to write a program that does something interesting and innovative with the WorldCat data using at least one of the OCLC-provided services. You must submit a working prototype.

Part of your job is to convince us of why your program is interesting and why it will help libraries and/or library users; other than that, you're free to implement whatever strikes your fancy.”

And they were smart enough to ask Jon Udell to be a judge – good call! I hope we see some really cool stuff come out of this, in more than just a proof-of-concept way. Makes me wish I could actually program. Entries are due by midnight on May 15. If you’re entering, good luck!
