Retropod = iPod inside a Walkman body

Retropod = iPod inside a Walkman body 07/01/2004 12:27 PM
John Young sends word of a retro-riffic iPod mod: "The Retropod is an iPod case made from a vintage Sports Walkman, from which the guts have been removed. Cases and do-it-yourself kits are available, for those Billyburg hipsters that want to make their own." Link. A timely diversion, given the fact that today is the 25th anniversary of Sony's 1979 release of the first Walkman: Link. (Thanks, L. Smith!)

USATODAY.com - Yesterday I stood inside what is probably the world's third-most-powerful supercomputer - the Terascale Computing Facility at Virginia Tech. (I say "probably" because the testing won't be done till next week - the Department of Defense is using it right now and can't be interrupted.) It's composed of 1100 Macintosh G5 computers running in parallel.

The Birth of the Notebook

The Birth of the Notebook 03/22/2005 04:59 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Chris Null has written a great article about the early history of portable PCs for Mobile PC magazine.

Inspired by the IBM 5100 and Xerox's Notetaker -- a 48-pound machine with a keyboard that folded over the display -- Osborne's eponymous computer was cobbled together from the cheapest parts he could find. The Osborne 1 hit the market at $1,795, with dual floppy drives and a 5-inch CRT. Flip the keyboard over the front, latch it on, and your 24.5-pound computer was ready to go wherever you needed it. Osborne had amazing success with the product, but it was fatally crushed by the birth of Compaq in 1983, which copied the Osborne carefully while adding one killer feature: IBM compatibility.

Link

UPDATE: Stefan says: "I actually worked on an Osborne in the early '80s. The college SF club had one. We used it to lay out the schedule and generate individually numbered tickets for our SF convention. I recall using the included BASIC to create a program that would generate a Superbowl betting grid.

"One of the big selling points for the Osborne was the software. The company pioneered the concept of bundling. In addition to the CP/M operating system, you got WordStar, a spreadsheet, a flat-file database program and so on. It even had a nice app for reading and writing PC-format disks.

"The computer itself was, frankly, a piece of shit. The monitor was 52 columns wide; when your typing reached the end of a line the display shifted left. It was terribly susceptible to static shock. You learned to save your work every few minutes in dry weather, because resets and lockups were a regular occurrence."

water birth

water birth 12/22/2003 03:04 PM
Water birth is an alternative to standard hospital labor where the woman gives birth in a pool of water. Many hospitals/birth centers now offer the option of a water birth, or the mother-to-be can choose from a wide variety of birthing pools for labor at home, usually assisted by a midwife/nurse with experience in waterbirth. There are many benefits of a gentle introduction to the world by being born in water, and the testimonials make it sound like a great option. Note: some links may be NSFW. [more inside]

The birth of a [sign] language

The birth of a [sign] language 09/18/2004 06:57 PM
Experts Study New Sign Language System A new system of sign language developed by deaf children in Nicaragua may hold clues about the evolution of languages. When the country's first school for the deaf was established in 1977, children were not taught sign language but developed a system of signs to communicate. Childhood learning may determine linguistic rules ...They found that older students used hand signals resembling the gestures employed by hearing people, mimicking the entire event physically. But younger pupils - who had interacted with other deaf children from an early age - used a more complex series of signs. They split the scene into component parts and arranged these sequentially to convey the incident. The constructions resemble the way words and sentences are built in verbal languages, using segments structured in a linear fashion. This indicates that way the younger children learnt the sign language helped reshape it according to these linguistic rules.

Mobile Phone Birth Control

Mobile Phone Birth Control 03/06/2004 02:05 AM
Missed this one when it first came out, but thanks to Charles W. for submitting this bit of satire, poking fun at the trend these days to build all sorts of extra add-ons to mobile phones. While the writer comes up with a bunch, the main focus of the article is mobile phone birth control, which is described as working by projecting "a high-intensity ultra-sonic electromagnetic "sound cone" that is inaudible to the human ear but fatal to any sperm cell within a range of six meters." Even better, the user doesn't have to do anything, as it will work automatically at the necessary moment: "You don't need to even turn it on. It's voice-activated. You place it near the bed, or any other site of amorous activity. You can even hang the mobile phone around one partner's neck. Then, as soon as someone yells, 'Oh, God! Oh, God!' — or anything like it — the Nippit sound cone activates, sending out deadly waves of spermicidal ultra-sonic electromagnetism. Any sperm that shows its little head is a goner before he can finish his first wiggle." Of course, like all contraceptives, it's not foolproof: "if an incoming phone call arrives at the "moment of truth," diverting the handset's attention, a pregnancy could result." A bit of Friday evening satire to send you off into the weekend...
