PowerLite 745c projector supports
802.11g, Keynote 08/23/2004 10:20 AM
Epson America Inc. on Monday introduces two new "pico-portable" LCD projectors with native XGA (1024 x 768 pixel) resolution and 2,500 ANSI lumens brightness. The new projectors, the PowerLite 740c and PowerLite 745c, measure 7.6 x 10.9 x 2.7 inches and weigh 3.8 and 3.9 pounds respectively. Other features include a 1.2x optical zoom lens, seven second warmup and 20 second shutdown.

Epson PowerLite 740c and 745c Projectors

Epson PowerLite 740c and 745c Projectors 08/31/2004 03:07 PM

I've been in the market for a cheap projector for a while - an ex-roommate had an Infocus X1, and for the price I haven't found a better one - but seeing new projectors hitting the market like these new Epson PowerLites (740c and 745c, pictured) almost make me want to wait and save up the only $3,000 they cost to bring them home. It might be a lot of money compared to an X1, let's say, but when you get built-in 802.11g Wi-Fi, USB flash drive support, on-board MPEG2 decoding, and XGA resolution. Of course, they aren't designed for home entertainment, necessarily, but being able to free the projector from my PC would be pretty great.

If, of course, I didn't live in an apartment so small I can connect everything with six-foot cables.

Mizuka just asked me if I had heard about some guy who was busted for making tons of money trading stocks who claims to be a time-traveler. The story was that he would show them the time-machine if they let him go. She said her Japanese friends were talking about it. I laughed and checked Google News with an assortment of keywords with no results. I wandered over to #joiito . Soon enough nichlas came up with a link to a WWN article from March, 2003 about the story. Just as I was wondering if this was something to blog about, KevinMarks page-slapped us with the snopes.com entry from April 2003 debunking the story.

I would really love to see the path that this silly story took over the last 1 1/2 years to get from WWN to me via the Japanese girls gossip network.

Another urban legend debunked 11/05/2003 01:49 AM
ESA astronaut, Pedro Duque writes "I am writing these notes in the Soyuz with a cheap ballpoint pen. Why is that important? As it happens, I've been working in space programmes for seventeen years, eleven of these as an astronaut, and I've always believed, because that is what I've always been told, that normal ballpoint pens don't work in space... and here I am, it doesn't stop working and it doesn't 'spit' or anything. Sometimes being too cautious keeps you from trying, and therefore things are built more complex than necessary." From Snopes: Fisher spent over one million dollars in trying to perfect the ball point pen before he made his first successful pressurized pens in 1965, which NASA uses. [via GearBits]

Cingular Launches Raleigh-Durham Service

Cingular Launches Raleigh-Durham Service 01/03/2005 12:08 PM
The first Wi-Fi launch for Cingular is at the Raleigh-Durham (North Carolina) International Airport: This installation began as an AT&T Wireless rollout, and is now folded under the Cingular brand post-merger. Because Cingular is majority owned by SBC Communications, I expect to see both a quick incorporation of the AT&T Wireless locations under FreedomLink, SBC's Wi-Fi network, and a drop in prices. Sure enough, Cingular has already lowered the egregious $70 per month fee for unlimited access to AT&T Wireless's tiny Wi-Fi network (mostly built with roaming partners) to $50 per month. Still outlandish, but less so--$50 per month is so 2002....
