TiVo and Netflix to Partner for
Downloadable Content? 09/06/2004 04:33 PM

Hey, guys. I'm sort of taking the day off from news - finishing up some freelance and doing a lot of behind-the-scenes catch up for Gizmodo - but this was just too interesting not to talk about. Newsweek is reporting that TiVo and NetFlix are planning on releasing a system that would allow subscribers of both services to download movies and television programs directly to their TiVos over broadband. There's no confirmation from the companies yet, but this could be huge. If they could figure out a way to let us take TiVoToGo onto mobile media devices, we could finally have an all-you-can-eat, legal video download option.

One Step Closer

One Step Closer 03/11/2003 01:23 AM

The Outside Reading section there to your right has been updated to use the latest version of my RSS parser. It seems to be working fine, let me know if you notice any problems.

If things go well I should have time tomorrow after work to right some documentation for the new version, and then release it for download. Some features:

• Fully Object-Oriented
• Supports parsing of RSS files stored on the server.
• Lets you export all parsed results to an external file, so the parser doesn't have to get called everytime someone calls the page. You could have a cron job call the parser every X amount of minutes to reduce server load.
• Cleaning and easier outputting of parsed feeds.
• Designed with forward compatibility in mind (it will be easily adaptable to take advantage of PHP 5's OOP improvements).
• Retrieve results in either an associate array or as an object.
• Cleaner error checking. Also the error checking is much easier to adapt to your own logging scheme, such as to a database.

Robotsapien One Step Closer

Dave Hrynkiw says: "Just got word from our favourite roboticist, Mark Tilden. Looks like the Robosapien is live on store shelves...in the UK and parts of USA, anyways. I can't get ahold of the Canadian distribution channel yet." Dave also provided a link to the latest version of the official Robosapien website. Don't forget you can also order these things from Amazon.com at a slight discount. Amazon doesn't show the robot as in stock yet but is taking pre-orders. And don't miss our previous article on Robosapiens which degenerated into a discussion of chiggers and Egyptian surveying techniques.

One Step Closer To Teleportation

One Step Closer To Teleportation 06/17/2004 05:16 AM
Nearly three years ago, we wrote about breakth roughs in atomic entanglement that could lead to advancements in quantum computing and teleportation. It seems that much of that research has continued as two separate groups of researchers have now used entanglement to successfu lly teleport the quantum state of an atom. As the article points out, the fact that two separate research groups came up with similar results (using slightly different methods) is particularly promising. It is amusing, though, to note that just about every article discussing atomic teleportation feels the need to explain that this is nothing like Star Trek style teleportation.

Proliferation!

One step closer to Podcasting
Proliferation! 01/03/2005 02:47 PM

No I am not talking as someone had suggested of my plan to take over the world of podcasting, but about a new product that is trying to find a investor to get it from prototype to production. The so called iRoamer is basically a Internet Ready portable Radio.

My thought has always been that it will not be long before my car stereo either comes with built in WiFi were I can push my Podcast to the car from the house or carry a memory stick to the car when I walk out the door.

My thoughts on the ultimate vision of Podcasting is that as you download the shows you are subscribed to the software that does this will automatically load it on your portable media device, your car in the driveway, obviously your laptop and maybe even push it to your computer at work. Hopefully the player software will be smart enough to tag were you stopped listening and update that placeholder on other devices your syncing to. [iRoamer]

One Step Closer To Wearable Displays

One Step Closer To Wearable Displays 05/07/2004 05:44 PM
People have been talking about display technology embedded in a pair of glasses for years, and it's looking like they may not be that far away. Microdisplay companies are doing good business building mini-screens for digital cameras and mobile phones, but the idea of wearable heads-up displays is where they expect the big money to come from. They're already being used in military and medical environments, but they're moving one step down the latter to industrial uses as well. From there, it's not that much farther to go for more general purposes. Right now, most of the heads-up displays are still bulky and ugly (though, not nearly as bulky as they were a few years ago), but the companies clearly realize where this is headed, and are working hard to make glasses with embedded displays that are both functional and "cool" looking. Combined with a phone or a personal mobile gateway device, and you could have full internet access all the time. As someone in the article points out, at that point, what we use internet access for may change in completely unexpected ways.

Anti-Spyware Bill Gets One Step Closer

Anti-Spyware Bill Gets One Step Closer 06/17/2004 07:33 PM
Despite strong lobbying efforts from a number of large tech companies, a House panel has approv ed an anti-spyware bill that would require any software to clearly tell the user that it includes traffic tracking components. It would also prohibit keystroke logging, browser/computer hijacking and ads that can't be closed. While this (of course) won't stop the worst spyware offenders who don't really care about the law, it should slow down the proliferation of annoying and sneaky adware that's almost as bad. It's still unclear which part of the law tech companies are upset with at this point. It does seem to be clearly written to only focus on "bad" spyware.

Closer Look at McCaw Moves

Closer Look at McCaw Moves 04/30/2004 07:18 PM
Steve Stroh has taken a close look at Craig McCaw's recent purchases in the broadband wireless space: McCaw bought Clearwire, a Texas company that controlled some ITFS spectrum--ideal spectrum for broadband wireless. But Stroh thinks that one of the most important aspects of what McCaw is doing includes the purchase of gear maker NextNet. NextNet was around during the last big interest in MMDS in the mid-1990s and McCaw has been an investor in the company. NextNet is part of the WiMax Forum and says it intends to build WiMax equipment, but Stroh thinks that McCaw is likely to use NextNet's proprietary gear to get a jump on the market. The first certified WiMax gear from almost every vendor will operate in licensed bands in international markets. One analyst recently told me that WiMax equipment designed to operate in the U.S. probably won't appear until late 2005 or possibly 2006. In the meantime, McCaw can use NextNet's gear and beat potential competitors to the market. Also, with McCaw in control of NextNet, he can make sure that the vendor is making the gear he wants. As Stroh notes: "McCaw learned from Nextel that if your service depends on the whims of your supplier, they can dictate things that can materially affect the service." McCaw could migrate to WiMax in the future in order to take advantage of potentially lower cost equipment. But Stroh notes that in many cases the proprietary gear may be better than the WiMax equipment. "WiMax is a compromise," he notes. Even if the customer equipment from Clearwire is more expensive than that of WiMax gear, McCaw will have a head start, Stroh says. The new Clearwire Web site in part leads Stroh to think that McCaw is close to officially introducing the new business. McCaw may be trying to keep quite about his plans in an effort to try to buy additional ITFS or other spectrum at good prices, Stroh says. Stroh says he dug up some other juicy information that's available to subscribers of his newsletter, Focus on Broadband Wireless Internet Access. [Editor's note: When we point to a paid editorial resource, we like to be clear whether or not we have a financial relationship with that resource. We do not. We merely know that Stroh knows his stuff.]...

(Thanks, Dave!)

FCC Approves TiVoToGo

FCC Approves TiVoToGo 08/05/2004 08:45 AM

Although public policy isn't really our niche, there are occasional bits of regulation that are notable for the future products they herald, like the approval yesterday by the FCC of a plan by TiVo to allow sharing of recorded content to up to 10 other users via a new service called TiVoToGo. The first implementations will probably be local network -- sending to other TiVos and PCs around your house -- but there's certainly the possibility that sharing over the internet could be implemented, as well.

Unless the approval gets shut down by the numerous groups protesting the approval -- something not as likely as I at first thought, as at least nine other DRM-encumbered sharing schemes were approved in addition to TiVos, creating sort of an insta-lobby -- we probably won't pay this too much mind until products using the TiVoToGo service are implemented. But we thought you might at least like to know it's coming.

AMD Alchemy Chip with TiVoToGo

AMD Alchemy Chip with TiVoToGo 01/04/2005 12:44 AM

AMD has announced a new chip called the 'Alchemy' Au1200, designed to power portable video devices of all sizes. The hot heat about the Alchemy is two-fold: first, it can resize almost any major format video into different resolutions on the fly (upscale and downscale, it seems), meaning that devices that use the chipset won't have to have video transcoded to its native resolution before copying it over; also, the chip will power portable video players that will be compatible with the just launched TiVoToGo service that will allow you to copy recorded content from Series2 TiVos to portable devices, such as the newly announced G oVideo and FIC's video players. (Thanks, Dimitri!)
