Star Trek Communicator: Patented







Star Trek Communicator: Patented

Star Trek Communicator: Patented 07/07/2004 06:04 PM

Xybernaut, the grandfather of well-hyped "wearable computing" that perpetually seems to have problems actually selling products has now announced two wearable computing patents, both of which seem pretty questionable. The first is for an "ergonomic display," which apparently is a display unit that includes rubber handgrips with "tactile ridges." The second, though, is for a "personal communicator" system, that "combines the functionality of a cell phone (or mobile phone), a body supported computer and a pager." Star Trek may want to claim prior art, but Xybernaut claims this is a bit different from previous wearable patents in that this version includes "detachable" parts. Who knew that by making something detachable, it was suddenly patentable? Maybe King Missile should claim prior art...

Star Trek Got it Right on Computers


Star Trek Got it Right on Computers 06/18/2004 02:22 PM
Star Trek may be overly optimistic on FTL drive for starships and matter transmission but, according to a new Minneapolis Star Tribune article by Isaac Cheifetz, it was right on target with computer technology. Even 350 years in the future of ST:TNG, computers barely manage to answer well-phrased questions posed by humans, they never ask the questions. The artificially intelligent android, Mr. Data, is one-of-a-kind and not understood by Star Fleet AI experts. Even Data's creator didn't fully understand AI - Data's "brother", Lor, turned out as a psychopathic killer robot. On the other hand, computer databases connect to each other seamlessly "both at the technical level, and semantically", allow computer users to instantly download data from computers found on alien starships or left behind by ancient civilizations.

Star Trek pledge of allegiance gets kid

Star Trek pledge of allegiance gets kid
suspended
06/22/2005 01:50 AM
Cory Doctorow: A young Star Trek fan was suspended from school for reciting his own version of the Pledge of Allegiance, in which he pledged to the United Federation of Planets. His mom has posted the hilarious story:
"So, anyway. What did he do?" I picked at the hem of my sweatshirt, looked just to the right of her face. I couldn't meet her eyes. I felt nervous. I felt underdressed. I wondered where 8 was.

So she told me what he did. And as she told me, I started to laugh. I didn't laugh a little, either, but I belly-laughed and grabbed my stomach. My son stood with his class this morning, put small right hand over heart, faced the American flag, and recited his own personal pledge of allegiance:

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United Federation of Planets, and to the galaxy for which it stands, one universe, under everybody, with liberty and justice for all species.

"Mrs. Jaworski. This isn't humorous. The Pledge is an extremely important and patriotic moment each morning in the classroom. I am ashamed of your son's behavior, and I hope you are, too."

High court gives science fiction society its seal of approval: The Baltimore Science Fiction Society got a court to award them tax-exempt status because their work is considered educational.

The Court of Appeals took account of the society's annual young writer's competition. In addition, the society holds writing workshops, has a library for its members and runs an annual convention where science fiction novelists and scientists discuss their work. Judge Alan Wilner, writing for the majority, wrote that those initiatives serve an educational purpose, making the society eligible for the tax exemption.

Chinese Net censors block popular
bl0gger Isaac Mao
04/08/2005 12:54 AM
Xeni Jardin: Ethan Zuckerman sez:
Isaac Mao is one of China's best known bloggers, and part of our Global Voices posse. He posted a funny and provocative post on April Fools day - it read in part, "Isaac Mao was exiled to Siberia... what do you want to visit now?" and linked to various funny net memes.

Evidently, the Chinese internet censors didn't think it was too funny. Either because of the April Fools' joke - which got a lot of traffic - or a diagram Isaac recently posted, illustrating how he believed the Chinese firewall works, his site has been blocked by his ISP, probably under pressure from Chinese internet censors. Isaac's a wonderfully funny guy and has reassured readers on his backup site - which he helpfully titles "Not IsaacMao.com" - that he sees the situation as a great way to learn about internet censorship in China. GV and others have offered him hosting in the US, but he says he'd prefer to continue hosting in China so he can understand more about how filtering and censorship are working.

Link to Issac Mao's original domain, and here's where his site currently lives. More details here: Link.

Rational calendar with 364 days, extra
week celebrating Isaac Newton


Rational calendar with 364 days, extra
week celebrating Isaac Newton
01/04/2005 08:35 AM
Cory Doctorow: An American physicist has developed a "rational" calendar of 364 days, in which each date falls on the same day of the week every year, thus saving profs the bother of drawing up new homework schedules every September.
His constraints meant eight months would have different lengths than they do now. March, June, September, and December would each contain 31 days, while the other months would each get 30. To keep the calendar in synchronisation with the seasons, Henry inserted an extra week - which is not part of any month - every five or six years. He named the addition "Newton Week" in honour of his favourite physicist, Isaac Newton.

"If I had my way, everyone would get Newton Week off as a paid vacation and could spend the time doing physics, or other activities of their choice," he says.

Despite this incentive, Henry says he has encountered resistance to his plan - mainly because people would be "stuck" with a birthday that always falls on a Wednesday, for example. Henry, who is among that group, is not moved by the argument. "You have my permission to celebrate your birthday the preceding or following Saturday," he says.
