Light travels at 186,000 miles (300 million meters) per second in a vacuum but physicists in the United States and Russia are just a little bit faster, actually capturing the light photons and stopping them in their tracks. The newly-developed technique offers opportunities to improve optical communication, manage quantum data, a boon to the future of both communication and digital security.

No one UI fits all - anymore!


No one UI fits all - anymore! 05/26/2004 11:58 AM
One UI Does Not Fit All.

To see the full-screen trailers of The Incredibles and Alexander, Apple is making you use iTunes, rather than its QuickTime player. (It uses QuickTime for the full screen version of Spider-Man II or Sky Captain.) After you view the trailer with iTunes, you end up at the iTunes store's new trailers section. However, most of the trailers housed there drive you to QuickTime, rather than iTunes, as the media player.

I don't believe that one UI fits all. Neither does Apple, usually. There's good reasons that the UIs for QuickTime, iTunes, Safari, the iPod, and OS X are different, and tuned to the functions and medium they're focused on. A browser is about browsing and searching. It accomodates viewing short media like music clips and trailers via plug-ins just fine. Music lends itself to playlists, sorting by artist, album, or genre, and, when portable, one-thumb scrolling and manipulation. Etc., etc.

The iTunes video experience exposes some flaws of the single UI approach. It's probably just an implementation glitch, but with QuickTime you can skip ahead or back in the trailer; you can't with iTunes. Tivo, who is very good at creating a TV UI, falls flat with its music and photo features. Microsoft's Media Center implementations - both portable and TV screen versions - are similarly challenged, though Microsoft, for once, is not crippling them with too many Windows conventions.

[David Card]

I don't believe that one UI fits all - either.

But this isn't necessarily what I meant.

(I'm also glad that idea of calling it "surfing" seems to have become less popular.) Between the few sites I visit daily to get things done, links that come in via e-mail, and the various weblogs and news feeds I guess I'm spending enough time in my browser already. It's a far...

Mozilla is an excellent web browser. You heard it here first, folks. I have been using this browser exclusively for about two months now and I have not been disappointed once. It has the best support for W3C standards, as well as being quicker and lighter then Internet Explorer (results may vary). But I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. The real point of this argument is that the top feature in Mozilla, in my opinion, is tabbed browsing. Observe... As an example of how I use the RSS features of my own web site, when I find an article I want to read from one of the links, I middle-click. Mozilla, under the Preferences area, allows you to set the option to have links open in new "tabs". Therefore, I can view numerous web sites at once, without having that number of windows open. Update: I forgot to mention that Mozilla's side-project Phoenix also supports all the goodies that Mozilla does, as well as tabbed browsing, while weighing in a smaller overall size. Check it out; version 0.4 was released last week. Speaking of reading RSS feeds, this evening while I was reading these feeds I clicked on Simon Willison's feed and lo and behold I saw my web site's name. Thanks to Simon for linking to my page, I appreciate it. I enjoy reading his musings daily. New Look: stonefishspine has put up a new design today. He's been testing new designs for a while and I think I like this one best. Speaking of designs, I dig Zeldman's new digs as well.

Kids Can't Write Anymore, Fear The New
SAT
06/28/2004 09:45 PM
Here's one for all those teachers freakin g out when their students hand in a paper written in "txt". Now, those same kids are blaming current school programs for not teaching them how to write properly. The problem is that the new SAT exam includes a written component -- and they do mean written. Students will be expected to pick up a paper and a pencil for the first time in years and actually jot down the essay answer in their very own chicken scratch. Tragically, many of these kids claim they have been using keyboards and keypads for so long, the idea of writing with a pencil scares them silly. They're afraid their handwriting will be so bad that they'll get a bad score. The schools respond that they still teach good penmanship, and seem to think that the kids are just whining excessively. Of course, considering the rest of the exam has been entirely computerized for years, why not just give the kids a keyboard and let them type their essay responses (or, since the kids these days are so into text messaging -- let them text their essays)?

Boeing has created a modern day Spirit of St. Louis, except instead of Charles Lindburg there is a computer brain and instead of inspiring generations of dreaming children it will drop 4,500 pounds of bombs on them. The newest "unmanned combat aerial vehicle," the X-45C, weighs about four tons, has a 49-foot wingspan, and will able to cruise at an altitude of 40,000 feet. Expect to see automated flocks of X-45Cs blot out the sun sometime after 2009.

Of course, that's not necessarily a bad thing, though, we may start to lose the concept of waiting for things.

I just feel sorry for Reid and Mark. They should have sold when they had the chance!

You're our favorite subscriber!

Seriously. I know we here at Friendster shouldn't play favorites, and our chief operating officer (he's the old guy in the office) told us not to do this, but seriously, you just totally rock. The way you reconnect with old friends. The way you've figured out just how small and interconnected the world really is. The way you discovered people with the same interests as you. We suspect you've even gotten a date out of Friendster, or that if you didn't, you could have if you needed to. Easy. With one of those three suspiciously hot people who keep popping up right above your friends list. For other people, we just use those pictures as cruel, aspirational temptation. But for you, they're totally getable.
We even made Friendster much faster just for you. But hey - don't tell anyone we told you all of this. That old guy in the office will just start lecturing us again and pulling out charts and graphs and PowerPoint displays. He's such a loser.

Thanks,
Your friends at Friendster
