Rave-MP ARC and AMP MP3 Players 08/02/2004 02:08 PM

< img src="http://www.gizmodo.com/archives/images/govideo_ravemp.jpg" alt="govideo_ravemp.jpg image" width="116" height="200" border="0" align="right" vspace="5" hspace="15"/>Rave-MP is reentering the MP3 player market with at least two new units, the Rave-MP ARC [pictured] and the Rave-MP AMP, the former a hard disk-based player available in 2.5GB and 5GB versions, with the latter a less-interesting but still decent flash-based player. I had a chance to sit down with some of the folks from Rave-MP the other night and play around with both units, and they seem nice enough as far as that goes -- and the price is right, at $229 for the 5GB version -- but I can't really get past the fact that the ARC looks sort of lifeless. It looks a little better in person, but not by much.

Still, I think Go Video has some commitment to getting back into the game, so it will be interesting to see where they go from here. If they could release an ARC 2 with the same specs and a more stylish form factor, I think they'd take a nice bite of the market (especially if retails drop the price a little. $230 is a little too close to the iPod mini's $250.)

[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. - More at http://www.shirky.com/writings/nomic.html

Rave for the Deaf


Rave for the Deaf 04/14/2004 10:31 AM
BoingBoing reader Charles Vestal says:
A East London dance club held an all-deaf rave, featuring signing-karaoke, deaf rap, a standup comdian, and all the pumping basslines they could handle. Problem was, the lights were flashing so much, no one could chat with each other at the bar. Perhaps they should hook up with this guy to get a more moving experience.

Silent rave with wireless headphones


Silent rave with wireless headphones 03/30/2005 04:33 AM
Cory Doctorow: UK's Glastonbury music festival will get around a late-night ban on loud bass by handing wireless headphones out to the attendees, producing a silent rave:
"I like the idea of people dancing in total silence," said Emily Eavis, one of the festival organisers and daughter of the founder Michael Eavis. "Imagine if you were feeling a bit worse for wear and thought, 'This would be a nice quiet place to sit down'.

"You would be completely freaked out to see 3000 people dancing in silence. It's certainly quirky, but our big push this year is keeping the noise down because that's what the council is keen on."

Rave-MP AMP 128 Flash Player Reviewed


Rave-MP AMP 128 Flash Player Reviewed 09/08/2004 10:24 AM

rave_amp128.jpg imageI used to hate flash memory players, but I'm coming around, and for one single reason: they're a commodity now. Being cheap - this Rave-MP AMP 128 reviewed by PCWorld is only $100, and will go for even less soon - means that I can keep a flash player around as a backup to a hard-disk player, something to take out into the rain maybe or throw in a bag that's going to get roughed around, and never give it a second thought. Plus 1GB SD cards a sickeningly cheap these days (sickening when you consider how much money you spent on flash memory in the past).

What sells the AMP 128 specifically, though? I dunno, really - the feature set on these things is almost exactly the same these days - but it does have that inverted-color display, which I saw in person a few weeks back, and is actually pretty cool.

Rip-Mix-Burning DVD players


Rip-Mix-Burning DVD players 05/21/2004 02:19 PM

Copyfight has an interesting post on the discrepancy in congress over ClearPlay DVD players. The players automatically remove scenes that would be offensive to sensitive viewers, but do so in the comfort of one's own home while playing standard movies on DVD. Some politicians oppose it because individuals are creating derivative works and they also see it as opening the door to "recipe hacking", which would be like producing the Grey Album by purchasing two legal records (the original Beatles' White Album and Jay-Z's Black Album) and combining them at home to produce a derivative work (if DJ Dangermouse produced software that could create his mixes).

On top of all that, since the motivation behind ClearPlay technology is largely religious, it turns the argument on its ear to many participants and observers. It's not hard to find folks that loved the Grey Album but see ClearPlay technology as something to be frowned upon, but the underlying technology and law is largely the same. It's an interesting case and hopefully does open the doors to all sorts of creative uses of derivative works.

MP364ND_mpio.jpg image

Cheese and crackers, what is it with the MP3 player launches today? Pocket-Lint points out two more products, from two different companies: the first is a 64MB (ack!) from Alba clunkily called the MP364NDI [pictured left] that is aimed at the 'beginner market' (you know, those music rookies who can only listen to eight songs at a time) and is priced at a barely-compensatory $55; the other is the much more attractive (the cute girl/ugly friend syndrome, perhaps) mpio hd200, another 5GB hard disk-based player (that's like the fourth time I've written that today) that is nice enough looking as these things go, has integrated FM with recording and the important-to-few-but-don't-tell-them OGG Vorbis support. Digitalway's mpio hd200 is priced at £199 in the UK (which is around $360 here), but if the expect to sell any in the US I'd hazard a guess that it will retail for just under $250.

I'm thinking Seagate and company finally dropped a boatload of hard disks on all these vendors.

Waterfield Bags launched a SleeveCase designed specifically for the Mac Mini within weeks of the official Apple announcement. In its default configuration as I received it, the SleeveCase is merely what it claims to be, a case into which a Mac Mini will fit. However, Waterfield offers a configuration with a detachable shoulder strap. (read the review) This makes it very comparable to the eM2 bag we reviewed a few weeks ago...
