Mark Frauenfelder: Andreas Bovens sez: On July 2, 2004, Boing Boing reported about the Sony Librie e-book reader, which sports an awesome e-ink display, but is full of restrictive DRM bloat. In a desperate (?) attempt to boost sales of the Librié, Sony recently started offering downloads for converting your own documents to the Librié's BBeB format, meaning that you now can read Project Gutenberg or Aozora Bunko books on your Librie! (As far as I know, reports so far are only in Japanese, hence a link to my own blog entry about it.)"

Now all it needs is a backlight and the capability to sync with a Mac, and I'll buy one no matter how much it costs. Link

Sony May Be Forced to Stop Selling
Playstations (But Probably Not)
03/28/2005 10:29 AM

ps2_cent.jpgDorky brother Kotaku explains how Sony Computer Entertainment company can still sell PS2s and controllers, despite an initial $90 million court order and injunction in favor of Immersion, who claims to have invented vibrating controllers. Until the appeals process is finished, Sony can continue to sell Playstations. I have a funny feeling that deep-pocketed Sony will get through this fine, but just in case they should start coming up with some new ideas to stockpile against a lean future.

sony_newmouse.jpg imageSony Marketing is holding the "Sony Dealer Convention" until the 17th, and I felt as though there were a couple items of note. So begin noting.

First of all, there were a couple "unannounced" products. You can see at the right a picture of the Gran-Turismo-style-glossjob-having-wireless optical mouse, the "SMU-WSM2." A wired model of this mouse is also planned. The second unannounced product is a portable USB active speaker system, with a super duper wind up cable! Or something, it appears to be pretty dry.

Another Forced Hiatus 08/27/2004 01:54 PM

Radio is acting up yet again, for what is still apparently no good reason. I have three big deadlines in the next two weeks, so I just don't have time right now to keep messing it with it to get it to post what I'm writing. Even though I have a lot I wanted to post about, it's not worth the loss of my time and the frustration when so much else is going on. I'll try to address this in a couple of weeks, and hopefully Radio will wake up and publish this notification at some point to let all of you know what is happening.

Plea: there's no other software out there that integrates a full-featured news aggregator (that I can access remotely and that lets me delete individual items) with a blogging tool, right? Please tell me such a beast exists and I just haven't found it yet.... Otherwise, please help me, LazyWeb Kenobi. You're my only hope!


Forced compassion


Forced compassion 01/01/2005 12:52 PM
From Reuters: CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - President Bush, under pressure over the pace and scale of American aid to Asian tsunami victims, abruptly raised the U.S. contribution to $350 million on Friday, 10 times the amount pledged just two days ago. Good. That's up a lot from the ludicrous $4M we offered five days ago, the boost to a shameful $15M, and the upping of that to the merely disgraceful $35M. It's still not nearly enough from a country that claims to be the world's economic, military and moral leader; before the election, Congress allotted $13.6 billion to rebuild states...
