Sony VAIO U50 Review: Awful Laptop,
Great PDA


Sony VAIO U50 Review: Awful Laptop,
Great PDA
06/28/2004 09:35 PM

sony_u50_review.jpg imageIt catches eyes, that's for sure. I had forgotten to load the Sony VAIO U50 with any software before our flight home to Kansas City for the weekend, but since an unexpected storm front was blowing in from the north, we had almost two hours to kill while our plane sat, stranded on the tarmac of LaGuardia. Even scrolling through empty file systems was better than the airline magazine.

"Excuse me," said the man sitting next to me, and I turned too fast to respond, because I knew he had been staring. "What exactly is that thing, and can you play Spider Solitaire on it?"

Read the rest of my review after the jump.

kim_cell.jpg imageI didn't really want to see that new movie "Cellular" before, but after hearing that it's about "getting [viewers] to identify with the frustrations of the police officer as he attempts to track down and rescue Ms. Basinger" using a crappy Nokia cellphone, I sort of started thinking that was maybe a little too close to real life to want to have to experience vicariously. The portrayal of cellular service - including the customer service - is apparently so awful in the movie that none of the American carriers approached allowed their service to be used in the film. I wonder if Kim Basinger sort of freaks out in the movie and twitches a lot like she does in real life? I would maybe pay to watch that.

Sony's Librie e-book reader: great
display, awful DRM


Sony's Librie e-book reader: great
display, awful DRM
07/02/2004 01:11 PM
librieYuri Kageyama writes a glowing review of Sony's new ebook reader, which uses a new kind of display technology that rivals paper.I agree with Kageyama's assessment about the display technology. I played with a Librie when I was in Tokyo last month. The screen is remarkable. The display uses little balls that are painted black and white, containing the same pigments found in laser printer toner cartridges for black, and in sunblock and paint for white. Once you turn on the display and a page of text or graphics appear, it doesn't need refreshing. The only time the batteries get used is when you load a new page. (The technology was developed by a U.S. company, E-Ink.) I did notice that sometimes you could see the ghost of the previous page, especially on model I tried that had a comic book loaded on it. I wonder if that's a general problem, or if the one I played with was a dud?

I didn't Kageyama wasn't harsh enough about the hideous proprietary locked format the Librie uses for books. He wrote, "I'm not wild about buying books that self-destruct after 60 days." This self-destruct feature is sickening. Who would buy a Librie with this deadly defect built in? (Sony is making a similar mistake with its music players.) I hope somebody with a sensible DRM policy starts using these great display screens. Link

Fraggle Rock on DVD -- finally and

Fraggle Rock on DVD -- finally and
wonderfully
08/07/2004 05:31 AM
This amazing, lengthy review of the new Fraggle Rock DVDs does a great job of placing the series in its historical context ("The Monchichis had a show that year, and so did Rubik the Amazing Cube... and don't forget the Mork and Mindy - Laverne and Shirley - Fonz Hour. Basically, 1983 was the year that all the TV producers in the world just said, screw it, we get rich no matter what we do, let's turn any old thing into a cartoon and then pay some Koreans two bucks an hour to animate it.") and picking out the elements of the show that made it so very good:
Gobo: First up to get the mail, now out to the Gorgs' garden... It's turning out to be a dangerous day.
Wembley: Yeah, but we love it, don't we, Gobo?
Gobo: Well, to tell you the truth, Wembley, sometimes I get sick of it.
Wembley: Yeah, me too.
Gobo: ... You sure do like to agree with a person.
Wembley: Oh, I gotta agree with that! Heh.

And there you have it. That's Wembley. In six lines, you get his whole character: his indecision, his affability, his attachment to Gobo, and his willingness to try anything. That's economical writing. Plus, it's funny, so it's got that going for it too.
