For embedded computing
hackers, mass storage (like hard drives) is often the most frustrating
piece of the puzzle, as the fragile and power-hungry spin of the hard
drive is usually the last non-solid-state part in the whole
deployment. And while most engineers will just use a Compact Flash
card, sometimes the only option is an ATA (hard drive) connection;
that's where the IFD-iV flash memory parts from IO Data Device
Corporation come in. Basically just flash memory drives, the defining
feature of the IFD-iVs (besides fairly rugged operating
specifications) is that they use the standard ATA connection of a hard
drive, meaning they can be deployed in place of hard drives when
necessary. Models up to 2GB in capacity will be available for around
$2,100 -- maybe we'll just deal with the fragile hard drives
instead.

12/19/2003 01:05 PMI like my iBook. Its name is Snowy. Here’s what it’s
missing:
- A way to easily disable the caps lock key, for those of us whose
large clumsy hands keep hitting it by mistake.
- Better yet, no caps lock at all: for such a rarely-used key it
takes up inordinate space on the keyboard. You could lock and unlock
caps by hitting Shift twice, no?
- A low-wattage FM transmitter, so audio can be played through a
home stereo without mucking with jacks and cables.
- Somewhere else for the CPU. Even with
ample circulation the heat
buildup under the heel of my left hand is annoying.
- Better access to the function keys. I’m roughly four times
more interested in using f-keys than I am in Exposé or adjusting
volume or screen brightness, yet I have to use a combination of keys
to get to them.
- A full stop/period/dot/whatever that doesn’t require the
shift key (particular to AZERTY keyboards
but a pain nonetheless).
- The ability to close the screen without it going to sleep, so it
can operate as an unobtrusive stereo component, server, downloader,
whatever.
- It should sense whenever I enter the room and immediately begin
playing Back in Black by AC/DC.
Just wanted to get that out.

06/05/2005 11:10 PMI have this morning failed to install a new motherboard (an Asus
P4P800-E) on my machine. The little internal LED is on indicating that
power is getting to it somewhere somehow, but nothing else comes on.
Yes, I've checked that the internal power connectors are connected.
Tomorrow I will bring it to the friendly local computer store where
they they have the decency not to laugh at me until I've left....

Evolutionary Hardware
Evolutionary Hardware
08/12/2004 04:31 AMTaking evolutionary concepts and applying them to artificial
intelligence software is nothing new, but suddenly, it's
getting a lot more interest in the hardware field as
well (Salon stuff required). There's just one problem: even when
the evolutionary means come up with the necessary solution, it's not
always to figure out how or why. For some, this doesn't matter. If
they need the hardware to do something, and it does, they're perfectly
happy -- even if they can't explain it. For others, though, this is
troublesome. One other interesting aspect of this work is that,
apparently, some of the "evolved" hardware runs into patent problems.
This is particularly amusing, since patent protection should be
designed to stop humans from "stealing" ideas from others. However,
can you patent evolutionary ideas that a machine comes up with on its
own? It would be difficult to suggest that ideas where somehow
stolen.

Hardware Redux
Hardware Redux
12/27/2003 01:38 PMI’d be remiss not to pass on more of the helpful information
people have sent in response to the recent whine about the iBook’s
shortcomings:
- As posted before, uControl makes
remapping troublesome analphabetic keys easy, e.g., putting fn keys
back into usefulness and killing the caps lock, though it does require
you to be utterly up to date, Panther-wise.
- Regarding FM transmitters, Jonathan Woolson recommends this C Crane
device.
- Jonathan also mentions the importer of some industrial
design porn from Japan: titanium/aluminium Powerbook and iBook
stands that solve heat buildup problems and which echo the seemingly
unkillable trend of vertically-oriented food in restaurants.
- The heat under the left handrest can be reduced by NOT unchecking, as I had done, the option to
‘put the hard disk to sleep whenever possible’ when the
power adaptor is plugged in (thanks to Marshall Sokoloff for pointing out that
the disk, not the processor, is in that spot).
- The glowing sleep light can of course be covered with white
electrician’s tape, much in the same way that the television
screen can be painted black whenever a Jude Law movie comes on.

01/01/2004 02:15 AMOne of the computer industry's dirty little secrets is hardware
failure. The few of us who work in, near, or otherwise around large
computer installations take this for granted. Companies like Yahoo
have people on staff that spend a lot of their time dealing with
failing memory, buggy motherboards, smoked power supplies, bad disks,
and overheating CPUs. Google, from what I read, doesn't even bother
anymore. But the larger world probably doesn't see this very often.
Many are likely just...

since he's running Linux instead of OS X. My first question would
be why bother, since 90% of what makes the machine is the OS. His
response?
As to the why ... Part of it is simply that I wanted to try
something else, and I felt like there were enough people testing the
x86 side that it certainly didn't need me. Part of it is that I
personally believe there are two main architectures out there: Power
and x86-64 are what _I_ think are the two most relevant ones, and I
decided that I had to at least check the other side of it out
seriously if I really believed that.
Fair enough.
