No one UI fits all - anymore!
05/26/2004 11:58 AMOne UI Does Not Fit All.
To see the full-screen trailers
of The Incredibles and Alexander, Apple is
making you use iTunes, rather than its QuickTime player. (It uses
QuickTime for the full screen version of Spider-Man II or Sky
Captain.) After you view the trailer with iTunes, you end up at the
iTunes store's new trailers section. However, most of the trailers
housed there drive you to QuickTime, rather than iTunes, as the media
player.
I don't believe that one UI fits all. Neither does Apple, usually.
There's good reasons that the UIs for QuickTime, iTunes, Safari, the
iPod, and OS X are different, and tuned to the functions and medium
they're focused on. A browser is about browsing and searching. It
accomodates viewing short media like music clips and trailers via
plug-ins just fine. Music lends itself to playlists, sorting by
artist, album, or genre, and, when portable, one-thumb scrolling and
manipulation. Etc., etc.
The iTunes video experience exposes some flaws of the single UI
approach. It's probably just an implementation glitch, but with
QuickTime you can skip ahead or back in the trailer; you can't with
iTunes. Tivo, who is very good at creating a TV UI, falls flat with
its music and photo features. Microsoft's
Media Center implementations - both portable and TV screen versions
- are similarly challenged, though Microsoft, for once, is not
crippling them with too many Windows conventions.

I don't believe that one UI fits all - either.
But this isn't necessarily what I meant.

it to an operator who will tell them that they've already won an SUV.
The GPS then allows the Coke prize-patrol to home in on them and get a

nearl
y a year ago, Adidas has finally
launched its
computerized running smart shoe, which will cost you a mere $250
and the constant nagging question of what will you do when it crashes
on you? The shoe is designed with a microprocessor that will
constantly measure the pounding you're giving the shoe and will try to
adjust the cushioning to protect your knees for another day. It still
seems like a fairly niche market -- but it could become much more
interesting if other devices learn to make use of the spare cycles in
your shoes. Think of it as bodily distributed computing.

04/14/2004 02:10 AMWe need to keep something straight: the Bush administration’s
adventures in Iraq have no connection to 9/11. On and on and on these
suck the same breath for no reason. The question nobody has the nerve
to ask is “Can you clearly explain, Mr. President, the explicit,
direct relationship between the ‘War on Terror’ and our
invasion and occupation of Iraq?” May I elaborate, Mr.
President? Everyone’s serious about responding to 9/11....

enough of a drizzle that your hair is plastered to your head and your

first person you meet should definitely not agree with you. Easy
virtue isn't worth it. (Accidentally leaving your umbrella, hat, cell
phone and lunch at the local campaign headquarters is purely optional,
however. Sigh.) I'm home and dry now. My shoes are off and my feet are
up. I feel good that I did a little tiny bit...

Wi-Fi Fits Neatly into Truckers' Lives
05/06/2004 05:35 PMTruck stops could become the most unwired category of business in the
next 12 months: the market wants it: No one is guessing whether
truckers want Wi-Fi hotspots at truck stops. It's a done deal.
Truckers are typically also businessmen and -women and they use their
laptops on the road to deal with loads, pay bills, and keep in touch
with family. A hotspot means not having to leave one's truck and tote
a laptop, increasing security and ease. Thousands of truck stops will
have Wi-Fi by this time next year. The annual rates of $200 to $250
for unlimited access means that there's money to be made in assuring
loyalty. A trucker will travel another 30 miles to use their Wi-Fi
(just read this article), meaning that the right price and the right
ubiquity could translate to thousands of dollars of additional gas and
food sales per Wi-Fi user....

UK shoe dumping mystery
UK shoe dumping mystery
03/17/2005 03:56 AMDavid Pescovitz:
Pairs of shoes are mysteriously being dumped outside a
farmhouse in Lincolnshire, England. Since December, more than a dozen
have shown up on the side of the road, usually on Sunday. According to
the BBC, "some of the shoes are cheap, with price labels of £1.99
attached and some are more expensive designer brands."
The (Foster family who live nearby) have video footage,
which shows an elderly couple driving by in a green vehicle depositing
the shoes.
Mrs Foster said that although it was scary at first, she was rather
hoping some of the pairs might fit.
