Knock, knock. Who's there? Super shuffle

Knock, knock. Who's there? Super shuffle 03/22/2005 03:32 PM
Through the years, Apple has had to deal with its share of copycats. With innovation, there's a price to be paid, and inevitably, other manufacturers are going to want a piece of the action, forcing the bar and the stakes higher as each adds a bit to the original idea. After all, patents can only go so far, and lawyers can only do so much. But the Super shuffle clearly takes the cake. I mean, the company even borrowed the haphazard placement of Apple’s earbuds on their homepage. But let's assume for a moment that the Super shuffle is, indeed, a real product in development, and it gets past Apple's legal hurdles and somehow hits the shelves in a conspicuously iPod shuffle-looked blister case. I'm willing to be they wouldn’t sell more than a few hundred units. The Super shuffle is hardly super, adding a voice recorder and an FM tuner to the existing model. There's still no screen, which makes a radio mostly useless, and it’s hard to visualize just how recordings would be started, stopped, played or saved. And I think that's probably the point of this whole silly venture. If anyone has ever heard of a company named LuxPro before this silly imitation, raise your hand. Anyone? Anyone? Much like Golden Palace casino buying a $30,000 grilled cheese or U2 filming an gratis iPod commercial, exposure is worth its weight in gold. And publicity — even negative — is equally valuable. At CeBIT, when the Super shuffle was publicly unveiled, I’m sure the LuxPro booth was mobbed with visitors just waiting to get a glimpse of the device. After all, the company's other offerings aren't knock-offs and, based on the field of digital music players that aren't the iPod, they stacks up fairly well. But with Dell, Napster, Rio and all the others, it's still difficult for a unknown company to compete in such a crowded field. But by taking on Apple in such a blatant way, they may just be on to something. But you might want to stay away from any Super shuffles auctions on eBay.

I came across this video of Kyle Stacy today while broadsnatching. Kyle is nothing short of an aerobatics prodigy with his radio controlled helicopter. This 9 year old kid makes his machine defy gravity in a way I didn't know was possible. Airwolf has nothing on Kyle's "Raptor 50". Just amazing. Video link:

New Scientist reports that a virus has been built up from mail order components. Other reports on this are in USA Today and Nature. This isn't time life has been created in the lab, as previously linked.
What's interesting is that this study was funded by the Department of Energy to produce a completely man made lifeform that can create hydrogen or consume greenhouse gasses. The present virus is an artificially created copy of a naturally occurring virus.

Supremes Knock Anti-Porn Law Again 06/29/2004 12:11 PM
Once again, the government has tried to create a law that bans porn online, and once again the Supreme Court has read the law and read the Constitution and realized that those First Amendment Rights actually mean something. The COPA law has been declared unconstitutional again -- though, it was a close vote. The case will also go back to the lower court, so it's not entirely a settled matter yet.
