Grand Haven, Michigan, Cuts the Cord

Grand Haven, Michigan, Cuts the Cord 07/29/2004 01:29 PM
Grand Haven, Mich., makes splash with full-city Wi-Fi coverage: This seems like yet another city announcement, but it might be the first city with this scale of access that 100-percent live and commercially available. (Dissenters, please write in.) While there are plans for Cerritos, Santa Clara, and Chaska (Minnesota) to have full coverage, Grand Haven may have beaten them to full deployment. The folks at Ottawa Wireless sent out a press release full of the technical details, such as their support for 802.11a, b, and g, and the fact that their service extends 15 miles into Lake Michigan, providing access for boaters and marinas. The coverage extends six square miles across the town, and it's optimized to handle VoIP; a beta test is in progress right now that will cost $30 per month for unlimited calling nationwide. The service has 300 subscribers at its formal launch out of a local population of 12,000. However, th town sees two million--yes, million--visitors a year. Customers include the city, and public safety and health groups will eventually use the network. Ottawa Wireless cleverly layers applications and specific performance statements on top of its network, providing VPN, wireless video monitoring, and what they call 55 mph access--even while you're speeding across the lake, you can still use Wi-Fi. Service costs $20 per month for 256 Kbps, $45 for 512 Kbps, and $80 for 1 Mbps access. Day rates run from $5 for a single day to $17 for seven days (less than $2.50 per day), obviously aimed at the vacationer who spends a week or several weeks in town or on the lake. For $25 per month, you can get unlimited in-town roaming as a plan, or, if you spend $200 upfront, you get 256 Kbps service in your home, plus a home wireless network, and unlimited roaming. That's a good bundle. The 512 Kbps and 1 Mbps business services include one account for unlimited in-town roaming. My friends and colleagues Richard and Angie recently passed through Grand Haven as part of their 8,000-mile RV trip and vouched for the service....

The $6,700 Power Cord

The $6,700 Power Cord 06/11/2004 08:17 AM

I tried writing something about this, but I couldn't stop thinking about quitting my job to start a company that makes powercords -- oh, excuse me, "AC Master Couplers" -- that are "a hybrid of [the] Kaleidoscope and Looking Glass interconnect geometries." For serious, two grand? But hey, that's a bargain compared to the Siltech Ruby Mountain Signature G6 series powercord -- now imported into the States at the bargain price of $6,700.

And these were just the powercords. I couldn't confirm the price, but apparently Siltech also makes an 8-foot speaker cable, called the Emperor Signature G6, which will set you back $32,000. Take that, physics! (Thanks everybody who sent in these cables, which are obviously being used to syphon money from rich industrialists to support a guerilla war.)

There I was, standing in the middle of my audience with the laptop and projector, giving a talk about bringing Linux into a business. I had to constantly spin around to talk to everyone, and it was distracting to tap on the laptop to go to the next slide. I wished I could be up at the front of the room, but I wasn't going to run a thick VGA cable across the floor between my laptop on the lectern and the projector. I couldn't help thinking there must be a better way -- and there is.

The $3,000 Power Cord

The $3,000 Power Cord 07/30/2004 06:47 PM

You may have too much money if you would pay $3,000 for a single power cable, or alternatively, you may not be giving enough money to us. If you bought a 1.5m cable, you'd get each centimeter for a around $20. Teac Esoteric, a Japanese company, manufactures the cable -- so costly that the provider of the 99.999999% pure copper wiring describes the manufacture of stress-free 8N class copper as (wait for it) "extremely difficult," forcing them to produce only 250 cables. Ever.

But this is no simple power cable. Polyolefin resin. 24 karat gold and palladium plating. Insert costly material you haven't heard of here. I hope that for this much, this is the finest in power delivery, and by "power" I mean "handjob."

The $744 Power Cord 06/10/2004 07:55 AM

Remember when your mom made you feel guilty about not liking your toys when there were starving children in Alabama or something? Sure, it made no sense, but she was already half-mad from a world that can develop $744 'Golden Reference Power Cords with Built-in Filtration.' It's unbelievable, I know, but I have it on good word that every time a gullible audiophile buys one of these cords the company ritually slaughters a whole tribe of African natives, entwining the sloughed-off spirits into the "patented stranded conductor geometry based on the Golden Ratio."

You don't even want to know what chthonic powers are invoked to create $630 XLR cables. (Thanks, Taggart!)

The coffee is still steeping, so I haven't the fuel to give this the hated on it deserves, but if you really need "incredibly fast and accurate transfer of power resulting in cooler and more efficient operation," you're not going to get it by buying a $500 powercord, I don't care how oxygen free the electrolytic ropelay copper is. Of course, if you don't need the Cadillac of power cables, you could get these $440 RCA cables with the "finely cured wood housing for reduced outside interference."

ELECTRONIC devices have been cutting the cord for years, with one notable exception: portable music players. From the earliest Walkman to the latest fashion-accessory MP3 player, music on the go has generally meant cables trailing from ears to pocket or purse. But a short-range communications technology based on magnetism may mean those days will finally be on the wane.

JVC "Rewind Be!" Wind-Up Cord Headphones

JVC "Rewind Be!" Wind-Up Cord Headphones 09/01/2004 01:19 PM

The Japan Victor Corporation (known to us as simply JVC) has announced some new earphones dubbed "Rewind Be!", which allow for the cable itself to be wound up inside of the housing.

Sure, you don't give a damn, especially because these are Japan only (for now). Well, these are the "world's thinnest" headphones with a wind-up cable, and they only cost about $18 USD. But I like wind-up things, so you're going to have to deal.

Reader Moritz Kofler found pictures of the rest of those Sourcefruit Juiceboxes that were shown at the Takeo Paper Show 2004; honestly, the rest of them aren't as impressive as the banana version, but I'll let you make the call. What I did find that I liked a lot was this extremely cute 'Mother and Child' extension cord that would go quite well with my fish skeleton extension cord my friend Esther sent me a few years back. I think it's time for the West to embrace and extend cute cord technology.

Hans Keirstead is making paralyzed rats walk again by injecting them with healthy brain cells sussed from a reddish soup of human embryonic…
