Should You Need A License To Operate A
Mobile Phone? 11/14/2003 09:48 PM
It's no secret that there are a lot of idiotic people out there, and when you put mobile phones in the hands of such people, they tend to do (you guessed it) idiotic things. However, it seems a bit extreme to suggest that people should be required to get a license to operate a mobile phone. The suggestion appears to be (half) joking, but even the list of "example" test questions are a bit silly. Proper mobile phone etiquette is simple: don't annoy other people. Anything you do with your mobile phone that will involve annoying or potentially harming others is probably a bad idea. If it's not going to do that, then you're probably fine.

The Pinnacle ShowCenter is a $300 set-top box that plays music, video, and photos over a network from your PC. It's too bad it doesn't support AAC and MP4, but at least it supports some form of MPEG-4. I'll be watching AVS Forum for reviews. I've previously mentioned the Roku HD1000 which has similar features, and there's also the Hauppauge MediaMVP for only $100.

Disneyland fights for right to operate

Disneyland fights for right to operate
unsafe coasters 04/08/2005 06:26 PM
Cory Doctorow: Ernest sez, "Disneyland is fighting a California appeals court decision that its rollercoaster-like rides (Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Matterhorn Bobsleds, etc.) must adhere to the same safety standards as public buses and actual railroads. The court decision would require rollercoaster operators in California to use 'utmost care and diligence' as opposed to merely 'reasonable care,' which is the current standard. I'm not quite sure how 'utmost care and diligence' is compatible with rollercoasters at all."

Disneyland's coasters have been falling to pieces, killing people, and going down for multi-year unscheduled maintenance ever since an ex-McKinsey consultant was put in charge of the park and heavily slashed the preventative maintenance regime while firing the park's most senior operators, many of whom had run the one-of-a-kind rides since the day they opened and were familiar with their many quirks.

This move is in marked contrast to the stuff that Disney got up to in Florida, where they essentially bought an entire township (actually, an "improvement district" which is like a town but more autonomous) so that they could write their own building code (among other reasons). The building code they wrote let them build things like fiberglass castles, which are not in the usual town codes -- and the castles and other structures they built have stood the test of time.

But in Disneyland, it seems to me that they're pushing for the right to remain negligent, not the right to innovate beyond the imagination embodied in a construction code.

Richard Derevan, a lawyer for Disney, told the justices that under the higher standard of care, "something could always be safer. The ride could be slower, the curves less sharp, the hills less steep. The ride may lose its purpose for being."

The case involves a claim filed by the estate of Cristina Moreno, a tourist from Spain who visited Disneyland in Anaheim on her honeymoon in 2000. Her family says she suffered a brain hemorrhage after riding the Indiana Jones Adventure, which simulates an off-road jeep ride. She died a few months later.

Smoke Detector Considered The Pinnacle

Smoke Detector Considered The Pinnacle
Of Innovation 06/03/2004 12:07 PM
The details of how this study was conducted are not entirely clear, but apparently, when asked, folks in the UK consider the smoke detector to be the top innovative gadget, beating out mobile phones, microwave ovens and digital cameras. I keep looking for the punchline about how this study was sponsored by a smoke detector company, but can't find it. It's not that the good old smoke detector isn't a useful gadget - it's just that it seems strange that so many people would pick it as the most innovative. The article quotes people saying that this shows how much the Brits value practicality, but it makes me wonder if the Brits are having trouble filling out surveys properly - or if they just tend to set themselves on fire too often.
