Goodbye 747?

Goodbye 747? 08/15/2004 11:20 AM

Is this old bird about to get its wings clipped?: The venerable 747 is finding itself less and less popular these days.

...airlines don't like the 747's fuel bills. It burns about 3,200 gallons of fuel per flight hour, about one-third more than the Boeing 777 [...] Air carriers also have a hard time finding 400-plus paying passengers to fill flights.

This is too bad, as the 747 is a majestic plane. I still remember having to walk underneath one of them to get to a customs shuttle when returned from New Zealand once — it was just breathtaking how big the thing was.

Sadly, The popularity stats are sobering.

...airlines fly 635 of the jumbos in passenger service, down 21% from the peak year of 1997...

The number of U.S. carriers flying the bulbous-nosed giant has fallen to two: United and Northwest. There were eight as recently as 1990. The number of daily domestic flights on the 747 has dropped to just 10, down from a peak of 102 a quarter of a century ago, Back says.

While the cargo version remains popular, airlines haven't ordered a passenger version of the 747 since November 2002.

And what does this mean for the future of the Airb us A3XX? That plane is designed to seat 555 people. Singapore Airlines ju st ordered 16 of them.

While the A3XX is massive, the thing that made the 747 look big was the "hump" over the front of the plane. (I remember an old joke about why the hump was there: because the pilots had to sit on their wallets — it was funny when I was seven.) But if you look closely at the A3XX, it is a true two-story plane all the way down the fuselage, while the 747 just had an upperdeck towards the front, under the hump.

Hello GDS, Goodbye YDS

Finally there's a desktop search product that's actually useful to me: Google Desktop. I had tried the previous version of GDS a bit, as well as the company dog food (Yahoo Desktop Search or YDS). But both lacked the ability to search the most important asset on my computer: my e-mail archive. Being one who does not use Outlook, that meant I was on my own until now. The latest GDS release has the ability to index Thunderbird mailboxes....

Goodbye 2004 12/31/2004 08:53 PM

Well, this will probably be the last entry of 2004. This year we posted 1,530 entries and you posted 2,962 (!) comments. As the comment count should verify, Gadgetopia went buckwild this year.

According to Google Adsense, we push about 100,000 page views a month to the HTML version (and they have to parse JavaScript to register with AdSense, so all of those are likely human visitors), and God only knows how many visits to the RSS feed. Last time I did some informal stats, RSS got 75% of the traffic, so figure 300,000 RSS requests.

Search engine saturation has remained accidentally fantastic. We get visited by the Googlebot something on the order of 300 times every day. Thanks to everyone who has contribued to our PageRank (we bumped from a five to a six sometime this year. How far can seven be?)

At any rate, thanks for a great year. The goal has always been 5,000 posts, and we're about 70% of the way there, so stay tuned.

My New Years resolution for Gadgetopia? A new design. Jonathan has graciously offered to share his, and I may take him up on it.

Say goodbye to being single

Reports were circulating last week that Apple declared an "end-of-life" to the 1.8 GHz Power Mac in late April when it reconstructed its Power Mac G5 line to include 2.0 to 2.7 GHz dual processors. Back in April the company said it would continue selling the single-processor 1.8 GHz Power Mac, but on Wednesday, the model was quietly removed from Apple's online store. Apple provided a statement to CNET News.com on Monday confirming that it has discontinued its single-processor Power Mac G5 system in favor of an all dual-chip lineup. "The 1.8 GHz Power Mac G5 is no longer available at the online Apple Store but is available in other channels while supplies last. The Power Mac G5 line is now all dual processor and delivers the ultimate in performance for our most advanced customers." Apple also noted that consumers looking for a single-chip machine, should look at "the new iMac G5" as it "is a very popular solution." Apple's iMac G5 is presently the top-selling product through the company store and is available in models up to 2.0 GHz.

Circuits: The Last Goodbye

Circuits: The Last Goodbye 03/24/2005 02:53 PM

I had intended to write some short note about the passing of the New York Times' Circuits section, now set to be dismantled and set to work throughout the paper like nerdy orphans. I was going to write about my sadness at its departure, so quickly after a crowed-about redesign, but before it had a chance to grow into the accessible but technical resource it had the potential to become.

Instead, here is a picture of David Pogue crawling through his backyard in a fur cap from an indeterminate animal source. If that was good enough for his last piece in the Circuits section, then it's good enough for my last mention of them. If you need a shoulder to cry on, Circuits writers, I'm here for you, hatless.

Goodbye Napoli

Goodbye Napoli 06/06/2004 04:44 AM

I'm about to leave Naples. I had a wonderful time. The total chaos of the city, the extremely warm and interesting people, the great food and the wonderful weather was just delightful. I'm sure I only scratched the surface, but I really enjoyed the Napolitan style. I only wish I could speak Italian.

I was also excited to meet all of the interesting people and the level of civil activism that could easily be sparked into an even more vibrant blogging community.

One thing that was confusing to me was that everyone says "Naples" when they're speaking in English. Why don't they say "Napoli"? Dean Martin says "Napoli", why do even the Italians say "Naples". Strange. In Japanese, we say "Napoli", "Torino" and "Milano" not, Naples, Turin and Milan.

I'm off in a few minutes for the UK. Look forward to meeting the folks there.

Special thanks to Derrick and his hosts for letting me use their place!

John Kerry announced Wednesday that he won't participate in any formal protests against the presidential voting by electors from Ohio. Alberto Gonzales will begin his road to confirmation as attorney general Thursday. And if all that's not enough, Trent Lott has announced that a singer from "The Lawrence Welk Show" will perform John Ashcroft's "Let the Eagle Soar" at George W. Bush's inauguration.

Crap. Goodbye Elliot.

Crap. Goodbye Elliot. 10/28/2003 11:07 PM

Elliot Smith killed himself today. I downloaded a few songs of his back in the Napster heyday and ended up buying a few CDs. I had the opportunity to see him live a few times in SF, but never went.

Crap, I really liked his stuff.

It's a little weird, in a life-imitates-art sort of way, to realize his song was used in a suicide scene (in The Royal Tennenbaums), and now he's gone and done that himself.
