Ed Cone writes about what conclusions to draw from the fact that Maryland's use of electronic voting machines on Tuesday seemed to go well: "'Election officials will think that this validates the system, that now we can all see that it works just fine - but that's not the case,' says Michael Wertheimer, a systems-security consultant..." My favorite bit: A sampling of voters at Lutherville, Md., on Super Tuesday showed that the systems worked well on the surface. "The machine was easy to use," says Charlie Mitchell, 49. "The only thing I wondered about was what I had read about...

Are Paperless Holidays Good?

Are Paperless Holidays Good? 12/15/2003 03:33 AM
Now that the holiday season is in full swing, some are wondering if the trend to move away from paper holiday cards and letters is taking away from the concept. If it's the thought that counts, does it count less when the end result is easier/cheaper or less personalized? Part of this sounds like typical complaining about the "less personal" feel of some new technologies. Just like many things, I think it has advantages and disadvantages. Certainly, in some instances it seems less personal. Also, going completely electronic means that some people will never see your message thanks to spam filters and fear of viruses. However, it also can make it easier to communicate with some people. Already this year I've received two electronic holiday notes from friends who I'm sure I wouldn't have heard from otherwise. The ease of email/web communications made sure I got included and lets me know what they're up to, and reminds me to drop them a separate note to see how they're doing. While it would be great if we could all write deeply personal notes to everyone we know, the ease of internet communications makes it possible to stay in touch with those who you're not as close with, but who are still worth keeping as friends.

A Forbes article asks "what's next from Apple?" With IBM reportedly delivering a 90 nanometer G5 processor already, and plans for 65 nanometer chips by 2005 and 45 nanometers in 2007, it would seem that Steve Jobs will be able to make good on his promise to ship 3GHz Macs by summer, 2004. Forbes, along with industry insiders, speculates that Apple will shortly release Power Macs running at 2.4 to 2.6GHz, and that a G5-based PowerBook might appear by the summer.

Ca mera Phones Help Buyers Beware

"During the past six months, no fewer than four software firms have released applications to help consumers turn their camera-equipped mobile phones into personal bar-cod e scanners....

Although the technologies are still in their early stages, the trend is rekindling talk of a shopping revolution.

'Clearly, this is going to change the way people think about shopping,' said Olivier Attia, chief executive of New York-based Scanbuy, one of the firms specializing in bar-code-scanning software.

For example, 'with a camera phone that is also a bar-code scanner, you can go into a store like Barnes & Noble, take a photo of the ISBN number on a book and instantly receive a coupon offering the book for 30 percent less at Amazon.com,' said Attia." [Wired News]

Of course, I think the better example is that a person could scan an ISBN and automatically request the title from their local library!

It appears that both PEAR and Java continue to swim in stormy waters. In two separate stories:

- Harry Fuecks discusses the pickle over PEAR. IMHO, a small group of people have control over the direction of PEAR. If you like what they are doing, then great. If you don't, you get into these discussions to let off steam.

- James Gosling responds to Java sellout rumors by Sun. However the question as to whether Sun can transform themselves into a more diversified company without imploding remains to be seen.

Ultrawideband: On the Horizon but Still
Far 09/10/2004 10:51 AM
The New York Times reports on the progress and promise of ultrawideband: The technology is still a few years from appearing in a significant way in electronic devices. The standards battle between two competing groups is not to be underestimated though, and could slow the progress even more. Also, Wi-Fi could steal some potential market share because it's already widely used and the chips are inexpensive, even though it's slower than ultrawideband. However, ultrawideband has Bluetooth's struggles working in its favor. If Bluetooth continues to falter, the gap in the market will be a great opportunity....

Digitising LPs by scanning the grooves

Digitising LPs by scanning the grooves 05/06/2004 03:07 AM
Digitising analogue LPs with high-resolution scanners isn't a new idea -- we blogged an early effort years ago here -- but it seems to have come along nicely, per this NYT story.

The team shoots thousands of precise sequential images of the groove and then stitches the images together, measuring the shape of each undulation and calculating the route a stylus would take along the path.

"We grab the image and let the computer model what the stylus would have done if it had run through the surface," said Carl Haber, a senior scientist at the lab who led the research team in collaboration with Vitaliy Fadeyev, a postdoctoral researcher there.

Book Scanning at Stanford

Book Scanning at Stanford 01/22/2004 12:57 PM

The Book & The Computer: Another great article about digitizing books in a library at Stanford. I have to stifle the goosebumps when I read about this stu ff.

When you're turning pages by hand, you can do maybe 150 to 200 pages per hour. It's slow. But the robot can easily do 600 to 1,200 pages per hour without damaging the books. And it's rigorously consistent -- the page is always flat, the image is always good, and software conversion allows you to index the text so you can search it.

This entry is dedicated to Jenny, who says we all don't talk about libraries enough. :-)

Chunking and scanning RSS feeds

Chunking and scanning RSS feeds 03/13/2003 10:15 AM
I've been somewhat surprised to find myself preferring the Radio UserLand aggregator to the others I also use: NetNewsWire and NewsGator. Last night I realized why: it's a matter of chunking and scanning. In RU, I scan and dismiss batches of 100 items. On a typical day, when I receive a few hundred items, that's just a couple of clicks -- modulo any additional effort to save or respond to an item. In NetNewsWire and NewsGator, it's more of an item-by-item thing. There are consolidated views available, but they display headlines (or truncated previews) only. Processing a lot of feeds feels like more work. ...
