All over the net, we're getting treated to galleries of
the booth-babes at E3, the big gaming conference in LA.
Alice Taylor, the Quake player who
posted the devastating report on a panel of four men saying
unbelievably stupid things about why women don't play games, decided
to prove her point by going around E3, shooting the Booth Boyz on
offer. It's a pretty sad lot.

Booth Bots?
Booth Bots?
07/26/2004 11:08 PMInstead of booth
babes, geeks at the 2004 AAAI
National Conference may be seeing booth bots. Robots particpating in
the annual Robot
Competition and Exhibition will be required to work in the vendor
booths at the convention as part of the contest. The robots will have
to
register themselves for the conference, find their assigned booth,
and
interact with human particpants doing things such as escorting them to
destinations within meeting hall. Each robot will also have to arrive
at
a pre-scheduled time and location to present a talk to the humans. A
CMU press
release says that Grace and George, a
pair of social robots developed by researchers at CMU and two other
labs, will be
working the show.

Another day, another artist complaining about the lack of
respect/personal interaction from those pesky cell phone users. At
least Nick Rodrigues bothered to wear a suit as he showed off his
personal cell phone booth, designed to illustrate how disrespectful
people are when they dare call their friends and family in public.
Remember the good ol' days, when people would go into Conversation
Booths before speaking, preserving the sanctity of the commons'
silence? No, I really don't either.

isn't perhaps a blood donation machine, but instead some sort of fancy
blood testing machine, given that Japanese preoccupation with blood

The Mobile Phone Is Killing The Red

The Mobile Phone Is Killing The Red
Telephone Booth In The UK
06/22/2004 02:02 PMWhile there have been plenty of stories about how mobile phones are
killing
off payphones, nowhere is such a story as upsetting to people as
in the UK, where
the distinctive red telephone booths
are quickly disappearing, making it more and more difficult for
tourists to get a picture in front of one. While there are a variety
of reasons for the removal of such phone booths, including
accessibility problems for the disabled, the main reason is simply
that they're increasingly obsolete when everyone has a mobile phone.
Of course, this is leading to a brisk business in reselling the phone
booths for collectors who are turning them into lawn ornaments,
conversation pieces, or even as part of a home bar.

Maybe I'm given to pessimism, but I have a feeling
this 'Silence' mobile phone box -- designed to provide a bit of
privacy to people who are talking on their cell phones -- probably
won't end up being a big success, even if it is slated to appear in an
upcoming James Bond movie (in a scene where Bond has phone sex with a
T-Mobile customer service agent while trying to switch to a worldwide
roaming plan). It does make me wistful for phone booths, though.

LIAM "INTERN CAMP" MCNULTY
--It's always good to see innovation brought to the market,
even if the innovation doesn't necessarily do well. Or at least I
think so. Take a look at the N-Gage - it's almost unanimously
disliked, and has basically proved that "side-talking" is
worthless.
Taking another stab at the game/phone hybrid device is Korean
"Pantech & Curitel." I had more or less forgotten about this company
since the Gizmodo article a couple months ago. Keitai Watch has
renewed my interest in what they have to offer, though, through their
coverage of the company's booth at ITU Telecom Asia 2004.
Hybrid game/phone devices aren't the only suprises Pantech &
Curitel had up their proverbial sleeve. There were also two phones
with 3.1MP cameras and detachable TV antennas, one that looks like it
was runover by an ice cream truck (intended for the American market),
and some other assorted innovations. More information after the
jump.

Dear Sex Addict, Is Osama Hot or
Not? (Sunday Magazine, Vancouver) I think OBL is totally hot, but
my friends think I’ve lost my sense of judgement. What do you think?
Do you think Osama is hot or not? Some people find Osama sexy. He is
tall and aristocratic looking. Personally, I could do without the
beard. I imagine people find him sexy because he is an outlaw. Some
people say they find Osama sexy just to be outrageous. I think he
looked much sexier when he was younger (don’t we all?); lately he
looks tired, old, not vibrant. One thing you can be certain of,
though, is that Osama doesn’t find you sexy.

07/20/2004 09:09 PMPaul Krugman is one of the few voices in the mainstream media willing
to speak plain truth to power, and he did a bang-up job with today's
column, The Arabian Candidate. As he points out, Bush has done
everything Osama bin Landen might have hoped for: The Arabian
candidate wouldn't openly help terrorists. Instead, he would serve
their cause while pretending to be their enemy. After an attack, he
would strike back at the terrorist base, a necessary action to
preserve his image of toughness, but botch the follow-up, allowing the
terrorist leaders to escape. Once the public's attention shifted, he
would systematically squander the military victory: committing too few
soldiers, reneging on promises of economic aid. Soon, warlords would
once again rule most of the country, the heroin trade would be
booming, and terrorist allies would make a comeback. Meanwhile, he
would lead America into a war against a country that posed no imminent
threat. He would insinuate, without saying anything literally false,
that it was somehow responsible for the terrorist attack. This
unnecessary war would alienate our allies and tie down a large part of
our military. At the same time, the Arabian candidate would neglect
the pursuit of those who attacked us, and do nothing about regimes
that really shelter anti-American terrorists and really are building
nuclear weapons. Again, he would take care to squander a military
victory. The Arabian candidate and his co-conspirators would block all
planning for the war's aftermath; they would arrange for our army to
allow looters to destroy much of the country's infrastructure. Then
they would disband the defeated regime's army, turning hundreds of
thousands of trained soldiers into disgruntled potential insurgents.
... Who knows? The Arabian candidate might even be able to deprive
America of the moral high ground, no mean trick when our enemies are
mass murderers, by creating a climate in which U.S. guards torture,
humiliate and starve prisoners, most of them innocent or guilty of
only petty crimes. ... Last but not least, by blatantly exploiting the
terrorist threat for personal political gain, he would undermine the
nation's unity in the face of its enemies, sowing suspicion about the
government's motives. Unfortunately, Osama bin Laden doesn't vote. He
uses the murder of innocents to get what he wants. What worries me is
what happens when the two people with the most to gain from Bush
remaining in power...

An audiotape purported to be from Osama Bin Laden, offers Europe a
truce if it "stops attacking Muslims"...it's
apparently genuine, and offers Europe an opportunity to reconcile with
Muslims if the respective European countries pull their soldiers out
of the Middle East. Europe (including Spain) has said no, saying it
will not negotiate under threat of terrorism.
The offer was not extended to the US.

What does a European call Osama
bin-Laden? ... "Sir"
04/09/2004 04:11 PMSpain has been in the news lately, both for her Muslim guests who
bombed the trains of Madrid (killing more than 200 people) and her
citizens who voted for a new pro-appeasement government. U.S.
media are expressing shock that the instinctive reaction of Christian
Europeans was to cave in to the demands of a violent minority.
Sitting here in a country where any attack is met by voters rallying
around the government and pressing for a strong counterattack the
European propensity toward appeasement seems odd.
But is there anything truly new here? Even the
mere threat of Islamic terrorism has for several decades
been very effective at steering European nations' foreign
policy. Going back further consider the Germans in the 1930s and
early 1940s. A small minority of people living in Europe had an
ideology and the will to use violence to back up that ideology.
Without a whole lot of effort or actual force they were able to
conquer nearly every other European nation and convince those
Europeans to accept major elements of their ideology. European
democracies appear strong but apparently are easy to control by anyone
who threatens to disrupt the bourgeois comforts of the populace.
Nor do Europeans have the internal strength to dislodge violent
minorities who've gained control of their societies. In the
1940s it was the leveling of German cities by the British and American
air forces and Soviet artillery that convinced Europeans of the
impracticality of Naziism.
It would be tempting to attribute the cravenness of the average
European to the climate or their proximity to Muslim countries.
Yet the English have been stubbornly resistant to both the Nazis
and various Islamic threats despite being
geographically proximate to Europe and hosting a large Muslim minority
within their borders.
Even if we can be sure of the answer to what the average European
would call Osama bin-Laden ("Sir") we'll probably never figure out any
way to stiffen the backbone of the average Christian European.
The political scientist quoted in this
blog on August 28, 2003 was perhaps correct in his prediction that
France and other European nations would become Muslim dictatorships
within the next generation's lifetimes, partly through demographics
and birthrate but mostly because the non-Muslim majority lacked the
will to oppose a unified minority.
