Hello, friends. Let's have a contest! I've got a Firefly PC Remote from SnapStream to give away, and I think one of you should have it. All you need to do is send me an email (first name is 'editor', last name is 'at gizmodo.com') with your best caption for this picture. Let me give you an example: "Ha ha, Howard. It is like we are going to have sex, perhaps with this ancient computer, as in a pornographic film and also the title of this post!" That would be, in example, a 'non-winner.'

Firefly_FrontLF3_006.jpg imageSnapstream's Firefly is in some ways, perfect. The install is easy, the layout of the buttons seems logical, the Firefly software never crashed on me (with one almost-exception, which I'll get to in a minute), and for most of the functionality it offers, it just worked.

Oh, what is it? It's an RF remote control for your PC, specifically oriented for a Home Theater PC.

Snapstream sent me out a unit, as well as gave me an exclusive look at its "Snapstream Spotlight" suite of software, a bundle of services from other companies that offer crippled or demo versions to let you get a feel for their use; companies like Movielink, Live365, or NewsGator. Let me talk about the Firefly in general, for a moment, then we'll get to the Spotlight.

MS Office Interconnect Beta Manages

07/30/2004 01:53 AM
As Microsoft looks at offering tailored, market-specific Office System products, this fall it will release in Japan a new product called Microsoft Office Interconnect, currently under beta testing, that is essentially a contact manager. The product allows users to have a unique, electronic business card that can be mailed around, secured with digital signatures and allowed to travel among the user's contacts, colleagues and connections.

When the user's personal data changes, the new information can be electronically updated in a secure, peer-to-peer type of system, Steven Sinofsky, Microsoft's senior vice president for Office, told analysts and the media here Thursday. Giving his annual address at the financial analyst day at the Redmond campus, Sinofsky said the Office System faces more challenges now than ever. As products and technologies in the Office family have increased, the number of competitors has gone up proportionately, he said.

First, I want to thank you all for being incredibly unfunny. I used to feel badly about getting paid to write dick jokes, but you have all shown me what an elusive skill it truly is. More specific thanks to the hundreds of you who established that old computers look like refrigerators, Windows sucks, three men in an office will invariable have hot, brown-suited sex, and that Douglas Adams once wrote a paragraph featuring the number "42."

I braved permanently crippling my ability to "fun" to bring you these highlights:

SmartDisk FireFly: 20GB USB Hard Drive 07/08/2004 08:44 AM

SmartDisk-FireFly-20GB_2.jpg imageI'd declare the death of Flash Memory drives if I could, as manufacturers like SmartDisk continue to release tiny, portable hard drives like the FireFly, but as the capacities in both product lines grow, they both will move to fill the niche their forebears pioneered. But as robust and sturdy as flash memory drives can be, a product like the FireFly -- a portable 20GB hard drive that requires no external power to operate -- is a much smarter solution for someone who needs to carry around a fair amount of data and doesn't mind the relatively bigger size. It's still tiny, though, in the grand scheme of things -- only four inches long with a weight of 3.3-ounces -- and with a retail price of just $189, it's cheaper and easier than buying, say, an iPod to do double-duty.

Firefly Phone Reviewed (Verdict: You
Know, For Kids)
06/22/2005 01:58 AM

firefly-Image_0422.jpgThe Firefly, which is available through Cingular, is a mini-cell phone for the 8-12 set. It has dedicated Mom and Dad button (What if Dad wears mumus or kilts and Mom wears pants? What if it's two mommies or two daddies? Wow. The unexpected gender politics of key caps.) and has a 911 button for emergencies. General usage is uber-simple—press and call. The review found some quirkiness with the initial set-up, but one can only assume that once the Mother-Unit and Father-Unit numbers are programmed in, all the Child-Unit has to do is press a button.

The phone uses prepaid cards to charge usage and supports 850 and 1900Mhz GSM and offers about 6 hours of talk time. It's quite small and rounded, making it a perfect "I-lost-it-in-the-river" item for the youngster in your life.

Update: Sascha Segan wants you to know he reviewed this phone in March.
