Virtual Butterflies 02/01/2005 09:08 PM

butterflies.jpg imageSometimes a textual description is enough to get me excited, before even seeing the picture:

Virtual butterflies that flutter about in space and react to the presence of visitors—if you touch them or try to catch them, they fly away; but if you hold your hand steady, they return and, with a little luck, alight on your outstretched hand.
The possibilities for such technology (flowers, frogs, ballerinas, frightened children) is staggering, or at least lilting. This is the sort of interactivity and brilliance that makes me want to throw money I don't have at people I don't know.

The Virtual Mobile Virtual Network
Operator From 7-Eleven


The Virtual Mobile Virtual Network
Operator From 7-Eleven
04/27/2004 05:27 PM
Mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) are nothing new. Virgin, both in the UK and the US, has been quite successful creating their own mobile phone carrier, despite not having a network of their own, but simply handling the branding and management, while leaving all the technology issues to a network operator partner. So far, most MVNOs seem to be targeting the youth market (often with "pre-paid plans"), and considering just how lucrative that market seems these days, it's no surprise that plenty of others want into the market. However, operating the whole MVNO is probably a lot of work, so now we're getting to the point where you have virtual MVNOs (VMVNOs) who will do all the work for a company, and simply slap their brand on the final product. That seems to be what's happening with convenience store 7-Eleven, who has announced plans to sell pre-paid mobile phones and service under the "Speak Out" brand - though, all the work appears to be done by Ztar Mobile. Other retailers are quickly expected to follow. Wal-Mart is at the top of the list, with Costco and Home Depot also apparently considering their own mobile phone offerings. The idea is to target younger users, or those with bad credit histories, who can simply pick up a phone at the store, and use it until their minutes run out, at which point they can top it up again - back at the store, of course.

Virtual Reference So Virtual We Couldn't
Use It


Virtual Reference So Virtual We Couldn't
Use It
07/07/2004 01:15 AM

Another virtual reference failure tonight. Kailee was reading about Neti and Ditto, the cloned monkeys, when she asked if we could find a picture of them. After a couple of fruitless attempts on the web, I again suggested she try my System's virtual reference project since we still had 15 minutes before they "closed" for the night.

So we fired up the URL and after a couple of confusing attempts to connect, we waited for a librarian to "answer" our call. And we waited. And we waited. And we waited. We finally gave up and submitted the question via email, only to be told we'd probably receive an answer in 1-2 business days.

It's extremely frustrating to try to teach Kailee to turn to librarians online for help only to keep running into problems and dead ends when she actually tries to do this. If she didn't have librarian parents, I'll bet she'd be giving up on us now.


Virtual PC for Mac 7.0


Virtual PC for Mac 7.0 03/28/2005 01:09 PM
Virtual PC for Mac 7.0 is the latest version of this emulation program, and the first to be released by Microsoft after taking it over from Connectix. Installation is a two-step process, which takes about an hour. First, the Virtual PC must be installed, the computer restarted, then Windows XP Professional can be installed. In fact, you can install multiple versions of Windows (if you have copies) by setting up different virtual machines; you can then choose which virtual machine to start up. Upon launching Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac 7.0, the standard Windows XP desktop appears, which can be run in a window or in full-screen mode. Toggling back and forth between Windows and Safari is easy. Within a separate Virtual PC Settings window, you can modify the virtual level of RAM and VRAM, the virtual machine's networking settings, and more. The main feature of Virtual PC is that it offers the Windows platform on a Mac. This can useful for browsing the Internet, or for web developers who need to see how websites look using both Safari and Windows. Microsoft's Virtual PC for Mac 7.0 website offers e-mail support, troubleshooting newsgroups, and a knowledge base of helpful answers to support questions. Virtual PC 7 runs best on a Power Mac G5; in fact, it’s been optimized for the G5. It can be installed on other Mac’s, but be prepared for slow performance. Spymac installed it on an older eMac with a 700MHZ processor. While the application is being used on a daily basis, it is incredibly slow. However, it’s still cheaper than buying and maintaining a real PC. Pros: Provides Windows XP on your Mac Easy to move back and forth between OS’s Cheaper than a PC Cons: Slow performance, especially with non-G5 computers Installation took too long If your company has a product you would like Spymac to review, please send an email to news@spymac.com.

Database of Virtual Art


Database of Virtual Art 02/12/2004 06:31 AM
Database of Virtual Art - Now Public
http://virtualart.hu-berlin.de/

For the first time, the Database of Virtual Art has been developed to specifically document digital installation art. This type of art has rapidly evolved over the last decades and is emerging into our most contemporary art. In close cooperation with established media artists, researchers and associated institutions, a complex overview of the immersive, interactive, telematic and genetic arts is being developed. This new documentation instrument, appropriate to the needs of processual art, is built in Open Source Technology. It is supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Federal Ministry of Education and Science (BMBF).

The Database of Virtual Art is both an evolving research instrument and a work in progress, changing according to the ongoing development of the field. Its documentation system will also serve as a predesessor for the systematic preservation of this art. Due to the fact that virtual art is totally dependent upon storage media, it is no exaggeration to say that an entire decade of art threatens to be lost for all time.
