In my latest piece for TheFeature, I wrote about way researchers are
using zooming tricks to make web sites easier to use on mobile phones.
[Patrick] Baudisch's solution to this problem is called
"summary thumbnails," which he developed in collaboration with Heidi
Lam at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. It is
a mobile browser that renders pages as thumbnails, but keeps the text
large enough to read. It achieves this by displaying readable text
fragments. For example, a CNN.com headline that reads "Chimpanzee
Attacks Supermodel at Circus" might be shortened to "Chimpanzee
Attacks." All the other headlines and story summaries on the page get
the same treatment. There's no artificial intelligence at work here --
it's simple truncation. But it's surprisingly effective. Baudisch and
Lam conducted a user study and discovered that users found what they
were looking for in web pages 41% faster and at a 71% lower error rate
than they did when they looked for the same content on browsers that
rendered pages as single columns, and that they zoomed 59% less than
when they used ordinary thumbnail rendering browsers.

07/07/2004 04:14 PMThe softswitches that route VOIP calls get caller ID info off the PSTN
(public switched telephone network), but they don't play by the PSTN's
FCC-mandated rules. Those rules make regulated telcos validate that
caller ID and block it if requested. Which is why, if you get a call
from an IP phone network, you can't trust the caller ID; it may be
spoofed. Worse, you can't trust your own caller ID to be blocked if
you're calling an IP phone.

05/27/2004 12:36 PMI have a lot of ideas. Maybe a handful are good ones. Once in a
great while I might have a clever idea, but I'm constantly impressed
by people that can truly be creative. To take a problem thousands of
years old, turn it on its head and solve it with a new clever idea is
something to behold.
These two ideas
are just about the most clever things I've ever seen.

Koko goes to the dentist
About a month ago, Koko, a 300-plus-pound ape who became famous
for mastering more than 1,000 signs, began telling her handlers... she
was in pain. They quickly constructed a pain chart, offering Koko a
scale from one to 10. When Koko started pointing to nine or 10 too
often, a dental appointment was made. (There's a rather funny
development at the very bottom of the story)

Devilishly clever comment spam
Devilishly clever comment spam
02/10/2004 02:56 AMGo to pystl dot org. Looks like your standard open source Wiki, in
this case for the Python St. Louis user group, doesn't it? If someone
left a comment with that as the url, it would seem pretty innocuous,
even if the comment was a little random and unfocused, wouldn't it?
But check out the links at the top of the page. All for commercial
products that have nothing to do with Python. One almost has to
respect the artistry of the scam and the degree to which they have
studied bloggers, and know our prejudices. It is amazing the lengths
that people will go to get a few links to their site. I guess somebody
must buy their trash. I said almost respect them. It is still comment
spam, so into the trash bin it goes. But the spammers get points for
effort on this one....

Those clever devils at Customized
Classics
Those clever devils at Customized
Classics
12/10/2003 04:20 PMWhen I first saw Customized
Classics a few weeks ago I felt like kicking myself. It's hard for
most people to understand what "public domain" really means, and what
value it can give us as a culture, and directly as capitalists and
entrepreneurs.
Project Gutenberg has recently
uploaded their 10,000th public domain book, and Brewster and the gang are working
on the "million book project". To demonstrate the potential of the
public domain, and show people what movies, music, and stories used to
be like when there was an active public domain (that at one time was
only 14 to 28 years old -- imagine making new movies and music from
60s stuff totally free of copyright), I've been kicking around ideas
of how to exploit these free works (again, for demonstration purposes
more than anything else).
One idea I called "judge a book by its cover." Take these public
domain classics, create exciting, artistic cover designs (perhaps by
famous designers), and sell them via the new crop of print-on-demand services. A few months ago there was
news of Oprah's book club coming back to life and only selecting
classics from the public domain, and how publishers would have to rush
to meet the demands, but how anyone could print them up.
I've been coming up with other ideas but nothing is as good as customized
classics. They just do a search-and-replace on names of your
choosing, and spit out a custom book to you for 25 bucks or so.
Brilliant and simple.

OS X update has Bluetooth caller ID
OS X update has Bluetooth caller ID
05/27/2004 05:07 PMGadget
Lab's Brian Lam sez: "I noticed that you covered
blue
phonemenu in the past, so figured I'd drop a line about the new os
x panther update. I was just reading the update details and saw this :
"Dialog windows for incoming phone calls and SMS messages for a
paired Bluetooth phone now appear in the foreground."
I just tested it. You have to pair your bluetooth phone in address
book, and a little pop up comes up, like bluephonemenu. The dialog
choices are: add card/log call, sms reply, hang up, answer.
Log call puts the time and date of the call in the address book
entry
Unfortunately, the pop up box doesn't show an image of the person
calling - that would be freakin' cool
For SMS, the pop-up box has the dialog choices: log sms, reply, and
ok.
It's pretty good, and stable, but doesn't sit in the system tray
like bluephonemenu.
