Jonathan Schwartz of Sun is out giving his talk again about how subscription fees are the way of the future for buying anything. One of his favorite examples (he's used it for quite some time) is that people will buy cars the way they buy mobile phones, where the device/car itself is free or close to fee, but there's a regular subscription fee that's locked in (he also likes to talk about how people will download "horn-tones" for their car, but that's a different story). He goes on to point out that for a car, this fee would be $220 -- noting that the carmakers have already thought about this. Beyond asking the obvious question (um which car are we talking about here -- because I imagine that a BMW is going to cost me more per month than a Hyundai), isn't this already how many people buy cars? It's called a loan or a lease. They buy the car with a little bit of money down, but pay regularly to cover the rest of the cost of the car. In fact, I'm sure, for some people and some cars, the amount is somewhere around $220. So, this isn't particularly amazing. It's not even new. It's just taking an existing business model and changing what you call everything. Who knew it was so easy to be considered a visionary?

Million tiny mirrors

Million tiny mirrors 03/06/2004 02:09 AM

There are a few more options in large screen televisions than there used to be.  In addition to CRTs and projection TVs, LCDs and plasma have come into their own.  There are also several new options like DLP, which this thinly disguised advertisement for Samsung explores.  It turns out that Gateway also has an offering in this area, as does RCA.

I found the techology behind this fascinating.  A color wheel, a light bulb, and a million tiny mirrors.

Hologram Generator on a Chip

Hologram Generator on a Chip 06/17/2004 09:49 AM
BoingBoing reader Roland Piquepaille says:

In "Chip Miniaturizes Holography," Technology Review says that Japanese researchers have developed a hologram generator on a single circuit board. The electroholographic system consists of a special-purpose computational chip and a high-resolution, reflective mode, liquid-crystal display panel as a spatial light modulator. With this system, they were able to generate an hologram at a resolution of 800x600 in half a second for an object of 1,000 points. Their solution is scalable in two ways: the computation is done in parallel streams, and several chips can work on a single hologram. The researchers think that there will be real-time 3D applications for television or medical imaging within five to ten years. This overview includes other details and references, including a diagram and a photograph of the hologram generator.

“One way to manipulate tiny particles like single cells is to trap and move them using light, which has enough energy to act like a wind at very small scales. Researchers from the University of Glasgow in Scotland and the University of Oxford in England have devised a way to use hologram patterns to shape the intensity of different portions of a light beam so that several different particles can be simultaneously trapped and individually…

Thank you, thank you, thank you. What a great community we have. Thank you for providing us with more mirrors. Matthew Healey member of the Western Australian Macintosh User Group and their ISP extremedsl are providing Fink with a full mirror in Perth, Australia. This is our first mirror in down under, thus I am pleased to welcome them to the family. Furthermore the UKMIRROR service has accepted us, making distfile services available for Fink on 21 load balanced server. We are very happy about this development, but we still need more rsync mirrors. Thus, once more, if you feel like helping, please visit finkmirrors.net and get in touch.

Improving our mirrors. Can you help? 08/03/2004 10:37 AM
Finks decision to gradually build its own network of mirrors has payed off. To make sure that we can continue to offer a high quality service we need to improve our mirror network. It has been some time since we last asked for more mirrors. It is time to do so again. Fink is very grateful for the resources granted to us by our community. To further improve our service to the community we require an even better mirror system. We especially lack mirrors in central Europe, Russia and the Far East. If you feel that you have at least two Mbit to spare for a rsync mirror or more to offer a distfiles mirror please contact us. To get a better understanding of the different types of mirrors Fink offers, please go and review finkmirrors.net. This is the official homepage for all mirror related issues. If you feel that you can offer other types of resources, web-space for testing as an example, please do not hestitate in contacting us as well.

More mirrors....pretty please? 12/02/2003 12:29 AM
While we welcome our latest full mirror in Norway, sponsored by Havar Valeur, we crave more. To improve our service to all of you, we would like to ask that you evaluate carefully if you maybe do have the resources to become a mirror. All it takes is a 10Mbit link, around 100MB of disk space and some bandwidth you are willing to share for Fink. The exact setup instructions for rsync mirrors can be found here. Especially mirrors in Asia, Australia, New Zealand, South Europe and Middle Europe are welcome, since we have none in those regions yet. If you feel generous and wish to donate even more resources, please visit finkmirrors.net to learn about your options. The current status of all available rsync mirrors can be viewed on the finkmirrors.net pages as well. We hope to improve this service in the future, yet this depends on your willingness to help us out. We are looking forward to many new applications and thank our community in advance.

How about those scientists, always coming up with neat new technology? What with the not-being-able-to-see issue featuring prominently for many people in hot and steamy conditions, University of Queensland physicists have created a permanent coating for mirrors, glasses, and car windshields that keeps them from fogging up. If you're more into greenhouses and solar energy than convenience, the coating also cuts out reflections and thereby enables more light to get through the glass. Even more exciting, the stuff is simple, cheap, and environmentally friendly to create. All the janitors down at the coin-op strip joint are going to be so excited!

Network-Enabled Projectors 06/27/2004 04:49 AM

BOXLIGHT - Presentation Articles: I saw an ad for some of these in an in-flight magazine. Having a projector on the network lets you apparently connect to it and debug it remotely. But the really cool thing is --

Some [network-enabled projectors] also have the ability to access and deliver content (documents, spreadsheets, and presentations) from a computer on the network directly to the projector.

[...] this would allow any files stored on the server to be displayed on the projector and controlled by any computer on the network, including laptops and PDAs.

Two New Value Projectors from Epson:
PowerLite 81p and 61p

Two New Value Projectors from Epson:
PowerLite 81p and 61p 06/03/2004 01:35 PM

Epson has added two new projectors to its low-end "Value Series," the PowerLite 81p (with a native XGA resolution of 1,024 x 768 and pictured right) for $1,800 and the 61p (with a native SVGA 800 x 600 resolution) for $1,500 that should be available around the 20th of this month. The standout feature? A 'blackboard mode' that enables the projectors to detect the color of the surface they are displaying on (let the old school green blackboards (did I just use 'old school' in proper context?)) and adjusts their color output to compensate. I'd like to see that in person. In addition both share a 2,000 lumen brightness rating and quiet fans.

Happy Halloween and welcome new mirrors

Happy Halloween and welcome new mirrors 10/31/2003 04:05 PM
We wish all of you a happy Halloween. Furthermore I would like to welcome our new mirrors to the Fink family. From Europe in Rijeka, Croatia a new full mirror joins us. This mirrors has been sponsored by the Jabucnjak Apple user group. This is our first mirror in Europe, so I hope that more will be joining us soon. Dave Schroeder from the University of Wisconsin in Madison is sponsoring a 100Mbit dedicated Master server. A. J. Wright and SunSITE@UTK are helping out with another full mirror in the United states. This raises our full mirror count to four and the rsync mirror count to five. We are happy to have such a great community back us up, but I know that more mirrors will join over time. I will not stop nagging you until Fink has its own mirror in every state of the USA. Yet, with such a brilliant community backing us up, I am not too worried about not reaching my goal very soon. Trick or treat! Our most wanted treat is more mirrors, so come forth Administrators and fill our bag. Information on how you can be a mirror can be found on the official mirroring website.

Epson has announced the addition of four new models -- the 835p, the 830p,61p and 81p -- to its line of PowerLite projectors. All four include twocomponent video ports, one S-Video port and one Video RGB port, with onededicated audio input for each. The 835p and 830p feature XGA resolution,brightness of 3,000 ANSI lumens, six built-in display modes, Ethernetnetworkability and, in the 835p model, 802.11g wireless connectivity. The835p also includes a PCMCIA card slot and a USB 1.1 Type A port, while the830p just has a USB 1.1 Type B port. Epson expects to ship the 835p and 830pmodels for US$3,899 and $3,699, respectively, in mid-July, and the companynotes that the 835p's keynote wireless feature is currently notMac-compatible, although a representative told MacCentral that an upgradewhich will fix the issue is targeted for release in the fall.

Panasonic TH-LB30NT/20NT, 802.11g
Projectors 03/23/2005 04:53 AM

Impress Watch reports on two nice looking new projectors from Panasonic: the TH-LB30NT and TH-LB20NT. Varying only in Lumens, where the 30NT has 3,000 and the 20NT has 2,000, both projectors support IEEE 802.11g connections. Equipped with a 1024 x 768 LCD, the 30NT and 20NT feature two D-sub inputs, an S-video input and a Composite input. Because of the 802.11gness (instead of bness), video files can be played on them too. Finally, a function called "Daylight View" to automatically adjust brightness and such for using the projector in bright rooms. They're a tad expensive for my tastes at hundreds of thousands of yen, but for that matter, all projectors are.
