Sony announced two new flash
Memory MP3 players that look not unlike tiny music gas cans, the
NW-E75 (256MB) and the NW-E95 (512MB). Both have an impressive
playback time of about 70 hours from their rechargeable batteries and
look to be able to record to memory, as well. The NW-E75 comes in
three colors, red, white, and blue, while the higher-capacity NW-E95
comes only in black (and are both the same size, but I left the images
in their native resolution so you could get a better look). Looks like
these will likely be Japan-only, for now.

The EMP-100 and 110 are the
newest flash MP3 players from EraTech, the people who happen to make
one of the only flash memory players I'd like to own, the EMP-ZII (the
one that looks like a little egg). Both these new players look fine,
too, as far as flash players are concerned, with MP3 and WMA support,
simple displays, and USB 1.1 interfaces. Actually, now that I think
about it, that's sort of wimpy. The main difference between the two
models is that the EMP-110 has an integrated USB port, like a flash
memory key drive, while the EMP-100 requires a separate cable. I4U has
an EMP-100 in their review queue -- expect to see that soon.

Macworld review: Flash-memory MP3

05/26/2004 09:03 AMWhen Apple's iPod burst onto the scene, many people who previously
hadn't thought about buying an MP3 player snapped to attention.
Flash-memory–based players had been fairly inexpensive but very
frustrating to use with Macs. Now the hard-drive–based iPod and iPod
mini are the best-selling MP3 players on the market. Given this new
context, we decided it was time to look at the alternatives, for
people who are on a tight budget and who just want to use a player at
the gym or during a commute, and not for storing a huge music
collection.

Toshiba has announced new models in its Gigabeat
series of hard disk-based MP3 players, including the new F models that
come in sizes up to 60GB with a 2.2-inch color LCD screen. These
players use 1.8-inch hard drives, as well, so we are definitely
talking iPod-sized devices. It's a shame that Toshiba doesn't really
promote the Gigabeat here, as I'd expect they'd sell like hotcakes, or
perhaps sell like 60GB hard disk-players with huge color screens.
Battery life is projected at 11 hours, and Toshiba also offers an
optional wireless link that lets you connect to a Gigabeat in its
cradle over Wi-Fi from multiple computers.

Okay, so you know how I'm
always saying that one of the main advantages of flash memory MP3
players would be oddly-shaped players that just can't be easily done
with hard drives, but with the exception of a few egg-shaped players
here and there it's mostly all the same stick things over and over?
Well, it looks like Korea's UnisonTech has the same idea, as their
TMS600 [pictured] and TM500 flash players are anything but ordinary
looking, with an floopy flip out screen on the TMS600 and a shape
reminiscent of a ninja star or caltrop in the tri-tipped TM500. Both
are available in sizes up to 2GB (the product page says 1GB, but I've
got an inside track that says otherwise).

Vorbis support, FM radio, aluminum body, and recharging via USB. Plus,
it has a two-color OLED screen, which probably isn't too much to get

Nomic World: By the players, for the

05/26/2004 03:15 PM
[This is an edited version of the talk I gave last fall at the
State of Play
conference.]
I'm sort of odd-man-out in a Games and Law conference, in that my
primary area of inquiry isn't games but social software. Not only am I
not a lawyer, I don't even spend most of my time thinking about game
problems. I spend my time thinking about software that supports group
interaction across a fairly wide range of social patterns.
So, instead of working from case law out, which has been a theme here
(and here's where I insert the "I am not a lawyer" disclaimer) I'm
going to propose a thought experiment looking from the outside in.
And I want to pick up on something that Julian [Dibbell] said earlier
about game worlds: 'users are the state.' The thought experiment I
want to propose is to agree with that sentiment, and to ask "How far
can we go in that direction?"
Instead of looking for the places where game users are currently suing
or fighting one another, forcing the owners of various virtual worlds
to deal with these things one crisis at a time, I want to ask the
question "What would happen if we wanted to build a world where we
maximized the amount of user control? What would that look like?"
I'm going to make that argument in three pieces. First, I'm going to
do a little background on group structure and the tension between the
individual and the group. Then I want to contrast briefly governance
in real and virtual worlds. Finally I want to propose a thought
experiment on placing control of online spaces in the hands of the
users.

Pretec Electronics
Corporation, apparently unaware that more than eight competing formats
already exist in this market, has developed a new flash memory card
called the C-Flash. Smaller than a dime, Pretec seems to be gambling
on the "hope your customers lose your product and don't learn from
their mistakes" business model. Cards with capacities up to 1GB will
be available by June, and they're sampling them in mobile phones,
which is just about the only place I'd want to see one. Honestly,
though, there comes a point (perhaps when you require magnification
equipment) when it's just too small. A note to these
companies with the perpetual smaller-is-better mentalities: Just
because I might one day be able to carry all of my media collection as
well as the Library of Congress on a card the size of an eyelash
doesn't mean I'll want to, dig?

04/23/2004 09:24 AM
 If
you're a regular reader of this blog, you probably know that I'm
opposed to unregulated 'free' trade, very worried about the
extraterritoriality of the WTO, NAFTA, Davos and other corporatist
captives, strongly opposed to domestic corporations 'offshoring' jobs,
using influence with the Bush regime and other right-wing governments
to circumvent social and environmental laws and responsibilities, and
a
great believer in taking the pledge to buy local, and in community
self-sufficiency.
At the same time, I'm a strong supporter of the UN and other
multi-lateral NGOs, and I believe that we each have a responsibility
for the well-being of all the people and creatures of this world. Some
readers have said this view is inconsistent, and I wasn't quite sure
how to respond to such charges. Fortunately, Peter Singer, in his
recent book on global ethics, One World: The Ethics of
Globalization,
has come to my rescue. Singer sees no inconsistency between strong
local autonomy, community, and self-sufficient economies on the one
hand, and global responsibility on the other. The book is based on the
Dwight Terry lectures at Yale in 2000, but has been updated to
incorporate reflection on the events of 9/11 and the appalling Bush
social, environmental and economic record.
I'll have more to say next week about Bush's fraudulent and despicable
Earth Day media blitz, and the major media's shameless lack of
critical
evaluation of the utter nonsense that his propaganda machine has been
churning out this week on the environment -- newspeak of Orwellian
proportions. The first part of Singer's book deals with environmental
responsibility, and his prescription for increasing it -- immediate
ratification of Kyoto by the US and other holdout countries, and
introduction of an emissions trading mechanism to make the realization
of Kyoto feasible (subject to the need for some oversight on the
disposition of the proceeds of such trading when it involves
autocratic
governments).
The second part of the book deals with the global economy, and Singer
adroitly tears apart the Economist's (and other neocons') naive
assertion that economic globalization somehow benefits both rich and
poor countries. He then goes on to prescribe a substantial reform of
the WTO and the GATT, which could actually lead to more equitable
distribution of wealth and more efficient production of economic
goods,
while safeguarding human rights, labour and the environment.
Unfortunately, the multi-national corporations and corporatists who
hold sway in the WTO would never tolerate Singer's prescription, since
it would entirely divert the benefits of economic globalization from
their pockets to those of the world's poor.
The third part of the book deals with international law, and Singer
lashes out at Bush for his unconscionable refusal to ratify the
International Court of Justice, and for the UN's continued hesitancy
to
accept a duty (not a right) to intervene in situations of genocide and
other humanitarian crises, even within a single nation. Singer is
sanguine about the limitations and dangers of 'global government', but
supports strengthening the UN to enable it to act as a 'protector of
last resort', and including in its mandate the responsibility to
supervise elections in all
member nations.
The fourth and final part goes back to ethical principles and proposes
that countries must, in this world where national boundaries no longer
have any logistic meaning, set aside national interest and embrace,
once and for all, global interest, impartially. That does not mean
cultural homogenization, but imposes a responsibility for the
reduction
of inequality, both of economic resources and personal rights and
freedoms.
Always the pragmatist, Singer concludes by worrying out loud about how
the responsibility for a global ethic could be managed:
It
is widely believed that a world government would be, at best, an
unchecked bureaucratic behemoth that would make the bureaucracy of the
EU look lean and efficient. At worst, it would become a global
tyranny,
unchecked and unchallengeable. These thoughts have to be taken
seriously. How to prevent global bodies becoming either dangerous
tyrannies or self-aggrandizing bureaucracies, and instead make them
effective and responsive to the people whose lives they affect? It is
a
challenge that should not be beyond the best minds in the fields of
political science and public administration.
I'd like to believe that this was possible, because if it isn't, we're
in serious trouble. We cannot expect national governments to set aside
parochial interests, especially when this entails accepting a
responsibility that would, for the richer nations, inevitably lead to
a
drastic redistribution of wealth to poorer nations and hence a sudden
and sharp reduction in, at least, economic living standards (if not
necessarily well-being). But as John Ralston Saul has so eloquently
argued, larger organizations and institutions, whether public or
private, are almost always, and inherently, less efficient, less
agile,
more resistant to change, more hierarchic, and less transparent than
smaller organizations. So the challenge is to achieve the best of both
worlds, having organizations of global scope and authority and
responsibility, but broken up into sufficiently small, autonomous and
dynamic units that they are sensitive, resilient, responsible and
responsive to the people and communities they serve. We can only hope
that "the best minds in the fields of political science and public
administration", wherever they are, are up to the task.

Can You Hack the Vote?
08/05/2004 06:01 PMElectronic voting systems have drawn fire from courts, lawmakers, and
citizens groups--and now they're under attack by hackers. It's an
organized assault, too. E-voting technology expert Rebecca Mercuri, a
Harvard research fellow who has been outspoken in her opposition to
such systems, has issued a "Hack the Vote" challenge, trying
to illustrate what she calls their unreliability and vulnerability.
She unveiled the so-called Mercuri Challenge at the
recent Black Hat Briefings and Defcon 12 security
conferences.
Preelection Action Urged
Mercuri suggests
electronic voting machines be hacked during their
preelection testing, so officials will abandon them before an actual
election. "People in the election community say this technology
is bulletproof," Mercuri says. "It's not." She
especially opposes use of electronic voting technology in its current
state, which does not allow for a
verifiable backup. "I'm not asking anyone to
break any laws, we just want the opportunity to hack e-voting systems
to prove that it can or cannot be done," she says.

version; the universe is actually a two-dimensional plane packed with
information, and the three-dimensions universe we perceive is nothing
but an expression of that information. Matter and energy and life are,
in fact, holograms. It leaves something very very interesting open for
the future. If the universe is a vast two-dimensional plane of
information -- then it can be hacked.

06/17/2005 03:57 PM“I was tired of using a cassette adapter with my iPod,
because it added lots of noise. If I tried to turn the iPod up loud to
drown out the noise, the levels would get messed up somehow, and the
treble would sound painfully loud. After looking around online for
auxiliary input things you can install in your car, I found that they
all ranged from $80 to $200, plus installation. While this may

The underscore hack
The underscore hack
11/25/2003 10:25 PMVia Web-Graphics, Petr
Pisar's Underscore
Hack provides a new way of targetting CSS rules specifically at Internet Explorer on
Windows. As with all such hacks, the pros and cons of using this
approach need to be closely examined before deploying it. The hack
takes advantage of the fact that adding an underscore to the start of
a property name causes that declaration to be ignored by every browser
except IE for Windows.
However, the hack takes the dangerous step of using one bug to solve
another. Peter-Paul Koch explained why this is a risky thing to do in
a recent column for Digital
Web magazine:
A certain browser has a certain CSS bug. Good to know.
This same browser has another bug, usually in its parsing of CSS
selectors or comments. This, too, is important information. However, a
CSS hacker proceeds to use the second bug to "solve" the first
one.
Solving one bug by another is not my idea of keeping Web
development simple, but the matter goes beyond bad coding style. These
hacks are inherently unsafe.
In an ideal world the next release of the browser would solve both
bugs. In an uncaring world the next release of the browser would solve
neither. In the uncertain world we live in the next release could
solve one bug but not the other!
Therefore you could end up with a hack that applies an extra rule
you no longer need, or with a necessary extra rule that isn't applied
any more.
In my opinion, hacks like this are safe for use on sites that are
being actively maintained. If you use them in a "fire and forget"
project you could well find it breaking in new browsers in a few years
time, when the site is no longer being maintained but remains online
and broken for all to see. If on the other hand you use it for a
living, breathing site such as a constantly changing commercial
project or a personal weblog errors that crop up in future browsers
can be taken on as and when they appear.
When all is said and done, a large proportion of hacks in use today
exist to combat the infamous box model problem - and the best advice
for coping with that can be found on Dave Shea's CSS
Crib Sheet: Try
to avoid applying padding/borders and a fixed width to an element
.
Do that, and box model hacks just stop being necessary.
Where librarians go to hack
Where librarians go to hack
05/03/2004 07:24 PMProving you can never be too pedantic (in a good way, mind you), I
bring you
hacker librarians:
There is a subculture of librarians that could make a significant
impact on the profession. They are women and men, youthful and
experienced alike, who all share one thing: a passion for solving
problems by creating software. They are hacker librarians.
Hacker librarians are not afraid to configure and install software.
They do not shrink from writing a program in whatever flavor of 'P'
language they favor, from Perl to Python, with the hardiest even
tackling Java and C++. Beyond enjoying the hunt for the right
solution, they like to create solutions with colleagues and appreciate
those who can provide knowledge about user needs and experiences.

Hackers on Atkins, and in a shameless display of
self-aggrandizement, yours truly is featured in the company of
uber-bloggers
Cory Doctorow
and
Doc Searls. As my brother
smirked to me in an email response after reading the article, "four
overweight guys lose weight! stop the presses!", my response was to
quote from Cory in the article:
"Maybe it will make us all grow third arms and go blind in 20 years,"
quips Doctorow. "It's sort of hard to tell. It represents a kind of
hacker's approach, grounded as it is in jack-legged engineering rather
than science."
The only other thing that I want to make clear about Atkins is that it
clearly isn't for everybody. It is a radical change in eating habits,
not well-suited for everyone, especially vegetarians. I can only
speak from my own personal experience that it works
for me.
