06/30/2004 02:37 AMI haven't blogged in a long time, primarily because I've been so
busy preparing for WWDC (working frantically on my presentation as
well as fixes to WebCore to support Safari RSS and Dashboard of
course). I'll be talking about both Dashboard and Safari RSS a lot
more in depth (primarily from the perspective of all the new open
source WebCore features that were added to support these two new
features) once I've gotten some sleep. :)
I wanted to blog briefly to clear up what the widgets actually are
written in. They are Web pages, plain and simple (with extra features
thrown in for added measure). Apple's own web site
says "build your own widgets using the JavaScript language", but
that's sort of misleading. The widgets are HTML+CSS+JS. They are not
some JS-only thing.
In other words, each widget is just a web page, and so you have the
full power of WebKit behind each one... CSS2, DOM2, JS, HTML,
XMLHttpRequest, Flash, Quicktime, Java, etc. I'll have a lot more to
say later on, but I thought it important to clear that up right up
front, since a lot of people were asking me about it in email and
such.

The Dashboard
07/03/2004 03:13 PM“Why can’t my computer automatically show me things that
will help me with what I’m doing, instead of making me search
around for them? The goal of the dashboard is to automatically show a
user useful files and other objects as he goes about his day. While
you read email, browse the web, write a document, or talk to your
friends on IM, the dashboard does its best to proactively find objects
that are relevant to your current activity, and to display them in a
friendly way, saving you from digging around through your stuff like a
disorganized filing clerk. For example, if a friend IMs you and says
‘I can’t wait for our camping trip this weekend!’
the dashboard will show things like your recent emails about the
camping trip, your camping bookmarks, and any files or notes
you’ve got on your hard drive about camping. Microsoft is biting
off us and calls this concept ‘implicit query.’ ”
“Friedman…says Dashboard will be ready as early as this
summer.”

Dominey writes about Dashboard in his blog and asks some questions
that I'd like to clear up.
A Dashboard widget is a bundle that contains a principal HTML file
and any supporting code that the widget requires (be it CSS, JS,
images, or native code). A widget can add an optional interface to
native code, written in Objective-C, that can be bound into JavaScript
and made accessible from the HTML document's JS window object.
In other words, an address book widget could inject a property
called "addressBook" into the JS window object of an address book
widget's HTML document, and then expose methods and properties on that
object that can be invoked from the JS. This effectively allows you
to execute native code through the use of this special type of
plugin.
The "native code as a service accessible from JS" model should be
familiar to anyone who has used XPCOM with XUL. It's essentially the
same idea. Extensions to the Firefox browser that contain native code
can expose that native code to script as an XPCOM service, and then
that object can be obtained from JS and have methods/properties
invoked.
Again, when viewed from a certain perspective, this is a
competitive Web browser feature that has been fused with
Expose. These widgets that might otherwise have had to be inside the
browser window as sidebar panels or toolbars have been set free by the
brilliant idea of using Expose.
Anyway, some points about this model.
(1) The native plugin code must be owned by root. This means that in
order for a Dashboard widget that contains one of these special types
of plugins to execute that code, you have to enter a root account
password (to chown the plugin code). This plugin code cannot execute,
therefore, without the widget being "blessed" just as an application
that you might install on your system must be.
(2) This plugin will not be present in Safari or other WebKit
applications, and is only accessible from Dashboard.
(3) The dashboard object is also exposed on the JS window object of
the HTML document and has methods for "meta-functions" that the
Dashboard can execute.
As for many of the animations, fades, slides, etc in the widgets
themselves., they simply look so damn cool because of Safari's rich
support for CSS3 used in conjunction with DHTML. Do you know what I
talked about at WWDC? Image replacement. Sliding doors. Using
opacity to create fade effects. CSS3 text truncation. Web standards.
All of which are being used to full effect in Dashboard widgets. Our
standards support has grown so rich and our engine has become so
smooth at effects that people are constantly mistaking pure
JS/DHTML/CSS stuff that people are doing for something fancier. I've
heard "That's HTML?!" several times in the past week.
Now it is true that we have made many extensions to WebCore, but
only in places where there are holes in HTML that must be filled. And
even then, we have tried to implement compatible models or to design
so that our enhancements could be standardized in the future.
For example, the new WebCore supports all of WinIE's drag events,
and that's how drag and drop is done in the Dashboard. So at the same
time we added this rich support to WebCore, we also added support for
a feature that can now be used in Web pages in a compatible fashion
with WinIE. We started with a compatible base and enhanced drag and
drop to allow you to dynamically set the drag image and even enhanced
CSS with a new drag pseudo-class so that you could re-resolve style on
the element while it's being dragged, but at the core, we made sure to
pick a practical starting point.
In other examples, we added support for new slider widgets and
search field widgets (wrapping NSSlider and NSSearchField
respectively). HTML is missing these widgets, and so we had to add
them so that Dashboard widgets could use them. But even there we did
so in a way that is designed to be compatible with other browsers.

XBox dashboard
XBox dashboard
06/06/2005 12:13 AMTake a look at this. What do you see? A personal page, dashboard
on an XBox! This is only possible now that the XBox 360 is designed
for on-line interaction and digital identity.

I wonder if they have xHTML pages and embed their profile info into
the pages? Where's the XFN? I doubt it's there!
This shows why a lower case semantic web approach is too
limiting to solve ALL the challenges of DLAs.
Now don't get me wrong - I'm all into search engines spider the web
and collect all sorts of structured data. I'm all into having
microformat standards for getting all this structured data into
sync.
But to think that this is the ONLY way - is itself a dogma.
We need to make sure that as micro-content evolves - that all forms
of structure, devices and usage scenarios are supported. Not just web
geeks.
So welcome XBox 360 to the on-line world of digital identity.
May the force be with you - and would you PLEASE help save
the Planet Earth for us - from those mean aliens?

07/01/2004 03:47 PMOK - I've now had time to cool down, rea
d all the rebutts and
opinions and I even spammed by friends list with a "Boycott Apple"
plea.
So now we can get some perspective on all this.
Dashboard
appears to be little HTML panes - which indeed should enable
anyone to add anything they like. It kind of reminds me of the Bl
ogrolling Commons distribution idea - I gave to Jason DeFillippo last year.
This is what drew me to help Laszlo and their BlogBox objects and recently the Tribe Cast objects.
So believe me - I live, breath and sleep toolbars, add-ins, bookmarklets
and any sort of anything that's open and can be used for enabling
software to get used anywhere.
Certainly this is where the mobile services world is going too -
becoming an extension of our PC lives.
Alf Eaton
brings up a obvious point:
I guess the widgets won't be able to load the actual code
in from outside, unlike Macromedia Central or Laszlo widgets - so maybe there could be a
separate kind of floaty widget that could load in code pages (rather
than just data) from the net but wouldn't be able to access the
system.
Without being able to "API Into" a system, these little HTML pages
are nothing more than just - well HTML pages.
But just imagine if we had open APIs to inter-connect
modules together!
Man oh man I'm getting excited, I'd better call David Temkin and Sarah Allen. Oliver Steele too.

11/06/2003 11:11 AMThe automotive cig lighter has become a kind of lingua-franca for
chargers of all descriptions -- this CNN piece calls it "the new
cup-holder." The same thing is happening in USB: I charge virtually
all of my devices (phones, PDA, etc) with retractable ZipLinq USB
cables these days -- sure makes travelling easier.
In model-year 2004, there are 47 vehicles that come, standard, with
five or six lighter sockets, according to Carsdirect.com. In 1998, no
vehicles came with that many...
The Pink Pussycat Boutique, an "adult novelty" store in Manhattan,
sells a variety of devices that can be plugged into car cigarette
lighter sockets. We'll go no farther.
If you get a flat tire, Safetycentral.com sells a 12-volt impact
wrench for removing lug nuts. Among other car lighter-friendly devices
the site sells are a 20 oz. coffee pot, a frying pan, an oven, a
curling iron, an electric cooler and a special adapter so you can plug
multiple devices into one lighter. That way you can make breakfast,
curl your hair, run your impact wrench and maybe light a cigarette
while you wait for your beer to get cold.

ThinkGeek has a
limited run of the coveted Ambient Office Dashboards, by Ambient
Devices. The analog gauges ebb and flow (as needles do) with whatever
data stream you wish to track, from stocks to weather, AIM buddy
status and more. Different faceplates are available for different
datasets and Ambient Devices has agreed to waive the premium content
charges with this limited run (until they complete their full
deployment), if you purchase yours from ThinkGeek. The devices receive
their data updates over Ambient's proprietary network so no existing
infrastructure is needed, and you don't need to plug it in to your
network at all. While I'd prefer a model that could tap into my Wi-Fi
network to waylay the premium charges (which exist for some datasets
but not others), the $150.00 device has a classic design that will
work anywhere in your house. Plus, it can run off AC or 2AAs, so you
can put it anywhere!

"a common pseudonym for
directors whose film was clearly taken away from her/him and recut
heavily against her/his wishes in ways that completely altered the

it is not what its director intended, and likely that it is not any

Sony has taken
its impressive X-Brite/X-Black LCD flat-panel technology out of its
VAIO notebook computers and placed it in a couple of new standalone
monitors, the 17-inch SDM-HS74P and the 19-inch SDM-HS94P, both of
which share a native resolution of 1,280 x 1,024. If you haven't seen
an X-Brite screen before, it's worth checking out. While you won't
mistake it for real life, no birds will try to fly through it or
anything, but the special anti-glare filter that Sony uses really does
make for a nice looking monitor. The Register doesn't have prices, but
a cursory scan of the web shows prices around $600 for the 17-inch
model, and around $850 for the 19-inch.
Oh, and the response times -- the refresh rate, basically; the
thing that determines how good moving images look -- are nice, as
well, with a 12ms rating on the 19-inch and a 16ms on the 17-inch.

Sharp has finally released
its 3D flat-panel LCD monitor, a 15-inch version creatively dubbed the
"LL-151-3D." Sharp, Sony, and other display manufacturers worked to
develop a standard for the 3D monitors, though, which means that
investing in the $1,500 unit means it should continue to work with
future products for a while. While the technology is intended
primarily for gamers, Sharp hopes to also sell units to scientists and
bathtub chemists who have a need to view molecular structures and the
like in 3D.
No special equipment is required to see the 3D images, but users do
have to sit directly in front of the screen to get the full effect.
(Thanks, Teemu!)
