Sure, the quality has gone down during recent months (Jay Leno?? Wha??), but it's still really interesting to see what Tom Cruise has to say about his 'craft.' Anyway, if you watch the show you know that right before the audience gets a chance to talk to the actor, Lipton asks The Questions™. I thought it would make a cool blog entry to answer them. They're not hard questions and they're actually better if they're rushed through.I doubt I'll ever get a chance to have Mr. Lipton pose those questions to me, so I went ahead and answered them quickly, with no second-guessing. The answers you read here are the first things that came into my mind. Robotics: Grow Up!Robotics: Grow Up! 06/17/2005 07:12 PM Lance Ulanoff of PC Magazine says, "Robotics: Grow Up!" and then tells the robotics industry to gets its act together. Lance does a great job in bringing to light what's wrong with the robotics industry by recollecting his experiences with a recent robotics trade show. Sadly, a lot of his points are completely correct. The robotics industry appears to be mired in myopic, over- schooled robotic geeks making piddly wall-detection robots that no one wants nor can they sell. His solution? Simplify your robot and run a cost-benefit analysis to see if it will sell. He says the Roomba meets that cost-benefit criterion. Check out the article to find out more about Lance's interesting observations. How To Grow HTMLHow To Grow HTML 07/09/2004 01:42 AM Following on some off-blog correspondence, Hyatt and the Safarians look like they’re willing to try a sensible semi-pseudo-namespaced approach.

How can Google grow?How can Google grow? 06/15/2004 07:30 PM Google is supposed to be going public soon at some sort of fantastically high valuation. A friend asked "How can they possibly grow into that? What can they do besides search?" If Google is to reach and sustain a Microsoft-style valuation perhaps the best way for them to do this is by providing alternatives to what Microsoft provides. Microsoft is the kind of desktop applications. You buy software from a store and install it on your machine. If a new version comes out you figure out how to buy and install an upgrade. If you get a new computer you spend several days reinstalling all of your applications, probably buying new copies of the ones whose installation CD-ROMs you can't find anymore. If you're traveling and need to edit a document or spreadsheet, tough luck. All of your data is trapped on your home or office computer. In the Internet enthusiasm of the 1990s various people predicted that desktop applications would be replaced by Web-based applications For most users this has come true in the case of email. If you're a Hotmail or Google Mail user you can read email from any Internet-connected computer in the world. There are a fair number of Internet-based photo sharing and database services. What is then left on one's PC? Word processing, spreadsheet, and PowerPoint documents. If Google were to offer a private database service and a suite of reasonably powerful application programs usable from a Web browser, this might be a serious competitor to Microsoft Office. So that's my prediction: while Microsoft is trying to replace Google with MSN Search, Google will be trying to replace Microsoft Office with Google Web-based Office.

Farmers Grow Backsides with Wi-FiFarmers Grow Backsides with Wi-Fi 06/18/2004 03:58 PM Wi-Fi networks on farms should allow farmers to control and monitor more of their operations remotely: Trial projects attempt to show that with farm-wide Wi-Fi coverage, that irrigation, packing, and other parts of a farm's business could be handled through remote control. Eventually, tractors and other devices might be run by wire (or by wireless, as it were). Anthropomorphism abounds: runaway tractors are a risk, but crazy runaway tractors? "What we're really scared of is killing someone if it goes nuts," Pocknee said of the robotic tractors. Likewise, this strange statement needs some explanation: Pocknee can sit in his office and see the position of a 600-foot irrigation system in a nearby field on his computer screen. The system is equipped with a global positioning system to provide its location. A wireless video camera shows how it is operating. Why first thought is "why would an irrigation system move?" and then I realized these are irrigation systems that are rolled over fields. Of course, this kind of automation helps big agribusiness more than small farmers who may be unable to afford the technology investment upfront on a scale where it makes sense. Labor can be less expensive than technology, as certain countries have taught us. I'd like to also see projects in which open-source-flashed Linksys gateways are hooked together for a few hundred dollars on a 100-acre farm than ever more multi-million dollar research investments that let farms be run from hundreds of miles away.
