Carriers Make 'Super 3G' Plans

Carriers Make 'Super 3G' Plans 01/03/2005 10:33 AM

Development of the next round of high-speed wireless data services has officially started, with a new consortium of carriers signing a 'Super 3G' agreement. The new system, planned to be at least 10 times as fast as modern 3G services, should first been seen in testing environments in 2007, with commercial deployments to follow. Companies involved include NTT DoCoMo, Vodafone, Cingular, Siemens, and Alcatel. I wasn't sure if they'd be able to come up with a name as goofy as '3G,' but 'Super 3G' is definitely 10 times as dumb as modern names.

And as Wireless Watch points out, this new standard will be global, so it's likely European and Asian carriers will interoperate (the US is anybody's guess).

Of all the personal computers to be unwrapped during the holiday season, more than 80 percent will be used to go online and search the Web's more than 92 million gigabytes of data (comparable to a 2 billion-volume encyclopedia). Getting online is the easy part, finding a useful Web page is a bit harder—keeping track of a useful Web page is another issue altogether.

People have devised many tricks—such as sending e-mails to themselves or jotting on sticky notes—for keeping track of Web pages, but William Jones and Harry Bruce at the University of Washington's Information School and Susan Dumais of Microsoft Research have found that often people don't use any of them when it comes time to revisit a Web page. Instead, they rely on their ability to find the Web page all over again.

The goal of this study is to understand better the ways in which people manage information for subsequent re-access and re-use. The study focuses on the management of information found on the Word Wide Web. Follow-on studies will look at similar problems and practices of personal information management for other information types including email and personal files (electronic and paper-based). The classic problem of information retrieval, simply put, is to help people find the relatively small number of things they are looking for (books, articles, web pages, CDs, etc.) from a very large set of possibilities. This classic problem has been studied in many variations and has been addressed through a rich diversity of information retrieval tools and techniques.

A follow-on problem also exists which has received relatively less study: Once found, how are things organized for re-access and re-use later on? What can be done to avoid the need to repeat the entire search process? We refer to this as the problem of Keeping Found Things Found. The current study addresses this problem in the context of World Wide Web use. The study focuses on use of the Web by managers, researchers, librarians and other information specialists. But it is expected that the results of the study will be relevant to most users of the Web.

Planet Sun

Several people have pointed to Planet Sun, a rather good aggregation of all the known Sun bloggers. It’s done by David Edmondson, whose own uncollected thoughts is well worth visiting. Also worthy of note in recent days is Mike Duigou on Complexity, which totally captures the mental pain consequent on confronting a big new hairy URI. (But that whole Java.net space is organized in a weird way that I don’t quite get; hmm...). Also, Planet Sun is a clever name... for the next such project how about Set the Controls For the Heart of the Sun? [For the under-40s, that’s a druggie-Sixties-music reference -Ed. (Yeah, but a great tune! -Tim)]

Annotating the planet

Annotating the planet 03/14/2005 05:45 PM

When I finished making the interactive version of my neighborhood tour, along with a screencast, it was clear that Google Maps is every bit as revolutionary as my first instincts told me. Not because Google invented a new geospatial engine or compiled better data. They didn't. But simply -- and yet profoundly -- because Google Maps is a framework we can all use to annotate the physical world.

In the very near future, billions of people will be roaming the planet with GPS devices. Clouds of network connectivity are forming over our major cities and will inevitably coalesce. The geoaware Web isn't a product we buy; it's an environment we colonize. There will always be markets for proprietary data. But the real action will be in empowering people to create their own services, with their own data, for their friends, family, and business associates. Google Maps isn't just a service, it's a service factory.

Radical openness is the key. It's been only two weeks since it launched and already the colonization has begun. Thanks to open XML data formats and open Web programming interfaces, people have figured out how to animate routes, create custom routes with their own GPS data, and display GPS data in real time.

Microsoft could have enabled these same kinds of things years ago. Its TerraServer has been up and running since 1998. But despite Steve Ballmer's infamous monkey-dance chant, developers haven't flocked to TerraServer. What's Google's secret? Web DNA and no Windows tax. [Full story at InfoWorld.com]

Robert and I made Planet Perl. Fresh in limited beta or something. I'm sure the python community uses Perl here and there, so in a meager attempt to restore balance to the universe we made it powered by Python. (Okay, maybe it was just because I got the program used over at Planet Apache from Thom May; thanks Thom!) In any case, enjoy ......

Planet of the Anklebiters

Planet of the Anklebiters 04/18/2005 08:37 AM

« Otava curled up on the couch and looking adorable at six months. »

Since the weather was abnormally lovely over the weekend we spent most of it outdoors with Otava. On Saturday, we were taking a rest on a bench in the woods when a pair of small dogs walked by and, of course, started growling at Otava. After a few hilarious minutes of growling on one side and bewilderment on the other, the micro-dogs trotted on. After they had gone I chuckled for a few minutes as it hit me that George Lucas had seen this dog when he thought, "Aha! That's what an Ewok should look like!" I always wondered why the Ewoks growl in the movies and now I know. The Ewoks are just small dogs who are still short and annoying even on two legs. Gee, talk about a planet best avoided. Planet of the Anklebiters.

Sunday we went down to the rocks, a.k.a 'beach', on Suomenlinna and there were quite a few swans floating around near to the shore. Otava somehow got the bright idea that he should try and catch one of them. He stood watching them from a rock for a while and then dove to the next rock in hopes of getting closer to his desire. When he pulled himself up, the male swan arched his neck and hissed menacingly towards Otava even though it was far enough away to feel safe from this amateur canine. We were very amused but Otava sulked for most of the rest of the afternoon. I'm hoping that the pictures I took of him and the swan turn out well as it really was pretty funny. :)
