Show Microsoft a finger 09/22/2004 04:34 AM

How often do your words come back to haunt you?  Just a few months ago, in the Identity Management newsletter (see link below) I said that in the mid-to-late 1990s we thought that all keyboards would have fingerprint readers built-in. I also suggested that you check out such keyboards the next time you were in a computer store. How wrong I was, at least as far as Microsoft is concerned.

and Corporate America

Microsoft's decision not to retrofit security updates for IE for any other version besides Windows XP has a lot of people upset. Imagine if you are on a limited income and can not afford to upgrade from Windows 98 to Windows XP. Also what if you are corporate entity and you have 1000's of PC's that run windows 2000.

Their is a simple answer for those running Windows 2000, switch to Firefox but that still leaves the Poor to fend for themselves. They are the ones that are more likely to not have up to date virus protection, firewalls or spyware software. So much for their security incentive. Bad Bad Microsoft. [Dan Gillmor]

Microsoft is considering an expansion of a program that would allow companies to see the source code underlying its Office software and other applications. Currently, 20 of the company's products are available under the program, including all versions of Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. But Microsoft has yet to extend access to Office, its most profitable product, or to its server-based applications.

Is That Your Finger in Your Ear, or...


Is That Your Finger in Your Ear, or... 12/11/2003 04:57 PM
I've long remembered something about a wrist-phone with mic hidden in the wristband and thumb as earphone, allowing you to talk on the phone simply by making the international sign for "I'll call you." Unfortunately I never blogged it and soon lost track of the link.

Thankfully, it appears to have returned, albeit a finger, not a thumb, in your ear. Yahoo! News reports that NTT DoCoMo's Masaaki Fukumoto is developing the idea. Similar to the "bone phone" idea back in the 70s or 80s, sound travels as vibrations through the bones to the finger, into the ear, where the eardrum converts them back into sound. And as if that weren't juicy enough, "by touching forefinger to thumb, the user starts or ends a call, and uses voice recognition technology to dial the number."

You _know_ I want one...

How to Keep Your Finger on Things


How to Keep Your Finger on Things 06/03/2004 05:11 PM
And your mind on more important matters :).This get s alot easier to do when you have good software to help you out. After all, the computer is supposed to HELP you, right? One of the places that will get you lost faster than most is in the area of browser Favorites. In my case, I sometimes have a teensy bit of trouble handling the 4500 or so bookmarks I have, not to mention adding more.As you add more and more, it becomes harder and harder to keep them straight and to find ones you want. And that, my friends, is where Check&Get comes in.Check&Get 2.0 is a completely new version of this bookmark manager. The program handles bookmarks the way that Explorer handles files, complete with a tree-view of folders, and the bookmarks are just as easy to manipulate. It comes with a built-in browser window that will actually show you each bookmark you select, search facilities, an Import/Export/Synchronize tool, and a tool that lets you send the program to check web pages for changes on a schedule.There are even more features. Check them out and Get your own copy at http://activeurls.com/en/index.htm. It works with Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, and Mozilla.

Is That Your Finger In Your Ear Or Are
You Just Talking To Someone?
11/05/2003 09:23 PM
Remember in the days when mobile phone microphone/ear-pieces were relatively new? You would see someone walking down the street and think they were crazy - until you realized they were talking on their phone. Now, we may have a repeat of that phenomenon - but with people sticking their fingers in their ears. I know I've seen this one before, so I'm not sure why it's popping up again now, but a Japanese company is coming out with a watch phone that requires you to stick your finger in your ear to hear what's going on. Apparently, NTT DoCoMo is pushing forward with the idea, which might make more sense in a Japanese society where people are more used to bowing than shaking hands...
