Canon to Start Making Rear Projection

Canon to Start Making Rear Projection
TVs in 2005 01/04/2005 01:23 PM
Japanese camera and office equipment maker Canon Inc. said on Tuesday it would start producing rear projection televisions later this year, aiming to secure a chunk of the rapidly growing market for big screen TVs. Canon also said it plans to invest in a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel joint venture by Hitachi Ltd., Toshiba Corp. and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd.

It added, however, that details of the planned investment, including the size of the stake, have yet to be decided and it had no plan to make LCD televisions. "We are aiming to offer rear projection TVs on a commercial basis by the end of the year. Since they are to be used at schools and other public facilities, we don't expect them to sell as well as consumer goods," a Canon spokesman said. The rear projection TVs would be the second flat-panel TVs for Canon, which also plans to launch surface conduction electron emitter display (SED) TVs this year.

What's ethnography? And what on earth could practice of the exotic-sounding research field have to do with a technology like Microsoft? Tracey Lovejoy is an ethnographer on the Microsoft User Experience User Research team, a part of the Windows Client business unit. She joined the team in July 2001, right out of graduate school, where she studied ethnographic methods and anthropology. In this Q&A, Lovejoy explains how her field of research impacts technology --and the next generation of the Microsoft Windows operating system.

Like some other well-known bloggers before her, Chris Nolan is working on turning her blog into more of a revenue-generati ng business. I like Chris's stuff, even as I sometimes disagree with it, because it's sharp and unpredictable and rooted in her years of experience as a reporter, and so I wish her well in her efforts to sell ads and subscriptions.

Lord knows it's not an easy road. Reading Chris's manifesto for "Stand-Alone Journalism" -- she argues that's a better label for what she does than "blogging" -- brought me back to some distant memories from the dawn of the Web. After learning HTML and participating in the San Franciso Free Press experiment, I thought to myself, hey, there's nothing to stop me from starting my own publication on the Web!

So I did. In January 1995 I took a week's vacation time from my job at the SF Examiner and published a site. I focused on what was then quaintly known as "multimedia"; I called it Kludge, as a nod to its essential clumsiness and improvised nature, and I posted an issue. This was years before personal content management software, needless to say; it's all just cruddy hand-coded HTML and crude self-designed graphics. But the articles weren't so bad (hey, here's an interview with Marc Canter! Here's a satirical take on the CD-ROM explosion/implosion!).

What I quickly realized was that, as much fun as writing, editing and designing all that material was -- bringing me back as it did to my teenage roots in mimeograph publishing -- it was just the beginning of getting a Web site going. If I was serious about making it something more than a labor of love -- if I wasn't going to do all that work on my vacation days -- I'd need to figure out how to get people to visit the site, and how to sell ads, and so forth. My best efforts involved dumping a pile of flyers in the lobby of a multimedia conference at Moscone Center. (While I was doing that, a couple of guys named Jerry Yang and Dave Filo stood at a booth under a big Yahoo banner, giving away T-shirts.)

After briefly toying with the notion of applying to AOL's Greenhouse program for funding, I thought, nah. When David Talbot started talking about a new publication he wanted to create, I helped persuade him that he should do it on the Web instead of in print. Salon turned out to be a great place for me to write and edit and build Web sites without having to wear all the hats myself (though there have certainly been times during the last decade when my pate has felt a little crowded).

Today, would-be "Stand-Alone Journalists" can rely on much better software tools to create and publish their work. They can plug into far better organized online networks to spread the word of their activities. And they can even turn to simple plug-in approaches to advertising, like AdWords or BlogAds, to try to bring in some cash. But being a "Stand-Alone Journalist" still requires a combination of journalistic and entrepreneurial traits that's rare. Being a good journalist requires the ability to not mind pissing people off sometimes (Nolan, whose career has had its share of controversy, is no shirker in this regard); being a good entrepreneur demands the ability to charm people as often as possible. Both pursuits, of course, demand persistence, patience, and, in the face of indifference, a stubborn belief in the value of one's undertaking.

When I read Nolan's proposed label for the solo-blogger-journalist, the first thing that popped into my mind was the famous quote from Ibsen's Dr. Stockman in "Enemy of the People": "The strongest man in the world is the one who stands most alone." Standing alone has many wonderful advantages -- it's a stirring posture. But remember what happens to old Dr. Stockman: He is right to blow the whistle about the polluting of his town's waters, but he's dreadfully naive about the world around him, he's ultimately ineffective, and he fails to accomplish much besides his own martyrdom.

So I'm not sure the "Stand-Alone Journalist" label is one that will stick. The linked nature of the Web is ultimately even more important than the independence of the blogger. Standing alone is useless without being connected.

Get Your Own Sleep Room

Get Your Own Sleep Room 06/14/2004 03:33 AM
Some people take sleep very seriously. Not getting enough sleep is much more dangerous than most people realize, but it's become more common in our society for people to be chronically sleep deprived. The problem is apparently quite an issue in Japan, where Matsushita has developed a $30,000 sleep room system designed to help ease you into and out of sleep. The system includes an automatically adjusting bed, a TV showing soothing images, a sound system playing relaxing sounds and (my personal favorite) a bed designed to massage you gently into sleep. The system can be used for a cat nap or a full night's sleep. Either way, it appears that folks in Japan are quite excited about this sort of research - as an associated picture with the article shows Japanese office workers taking their naps in the company's showroom that demonstrates a number of recliners.

Micros copic fragments of plastic are a "major pollutant", floating in the ocean, settling on seabeds, and washing up onshore - with unknown consequences for marine ecosystems, according to a new study. "We've found this microscopic plastic material at all of the sites we've examined," [lead researcher] Dr Richard C Thompson [of University of Plymouth, UK] said. "Interestingly, the abundance is reasonably consistent. So, it suggests to us that the problem is really quite ubiquitous."

Hotels That Spy On You When You're In

Hotels That Spy On You When You're In
The Room 06/08/2004 02:05 PM
There was an urban legend story that made the rounds a few months ago about how those hotel room keycards contained private info about you on the magnetic strip. This was quickly debunked, but that doesn't mean there aren't other privacy questions involved with staying in a hotel room. While this NY Times article starts off with that urban myth, it then follows it up with stories about how certain hotels do track when you enter or leave a room. It's not entirely clearly how they know when you've left the room (since you don't use the key when you leave, and it's unlikely - at this point - that they're using RFID chips on the cards to check where you are) but it does raise some privacy issues. Should the hotels you stay in be able to track you so closely? What's to stop them from adding that RFID chip as well? In the past we've written about practical reasons for having such info, such as keeping the heat off when no one is in the room, but adjust it when people are checking in. However, the privacy concerns of being tracked everywhere you go in a hotel could become a concern for many travelers who aren't comfortable with the idea.

Ask anyone why they spend an inordinate amount of time at a certain Web site and typically the word "addictive" gets brandished about. That's the word that "Chimahead," the chief roadie for the band Nightmare Prophecy used when describing his attraction to the 3D Web sites at Gogofrog.com. And it would appear he is not alone with people from around the world building 3D webspaces and sharing a common attraction to the unique form of expression the 3rd dimension offers.
