Arrested For Recording Movies

Arrested For Recording Movies 04/15/2004 01:02 PM
Late last year there was a lot of talk about a new California law that completely banned bringing any kind of video camera into a theater, even if you weren't using it. As many people pointed out, this seemed to go too far - as just carrying a video camera (especially a camera phone) doesn't mean you're doing anything illegal with it. Well, the law went forward and now the first two arrests have been made - in both cases traditional situations where people in the audience were caught trying to record the film on camcorders. While the actions described clearly are illegal, it still seems like this law goes too far. In other related news, the article mentions the sentencing of the guy accused of putting screener tapes online - saying that his sentencing has been delayed six months so the studios can "calculate the losses incurred." It's going to take six months to calculate the losses? Expect the losses to be nowhere near reality, as they'll assume that every potential download was a "lost sale," when that's clearly not true. It's likely that many of the big fans of those movies went and saw it in the theater anyway, and others never would have paid to see the movie anyway. In fact, there's a chance that the download enticed some people to go see the films in the theaters. But, of course, don't expect Hollywood to take into account any of those things.

Taking The Camera Out Of The Camera
Phone 11/04/2003 07:06 PM
We've had a lot of stories in the last six months or so about shortsighted companies deciding to simply ban camera phones outright. In the past, I wondered if such rules would have an impact on mobile phone sales, but I didn't expect the carriers to jump on this topic so quickly. Put me in the same surprised boat as Alan Reiter to hear that carriers are convincing mobile phone handset makers to offer multiple versions of their phones: one with a camera and the other without. I really thought that with only a few companies overreacting and missing the point about camera phones, it would blow over, and a decade from now we'd be laughing at silly companies banning camera phones. At this rate, that might not be true. This is going to be a huge waste of money. Designing a new phone will take some money, and will create a phone that offers less value to the customer (and less opportunity for revenue for the carrier). However as camera phones begin to find more acceptance in the marketplace, people are going to get angry when their boss tells them the expensive phone they just bought can't be brought into the office. They're not going to want to buy the version without the camera if part of the reason they're upgrading is for the camera in the first place. This is a (costly) over reaction to a technology that will do nothing to stop the real problem (theft of corporate secrets or invasion of privacy), but will cost lots of money and anger many people.

But Does Anyone Want A Camera Phone?

But Does Anyone Want A Camera Phone? 05/11/2004 02:20 AM
There seem to be two opinions when it comes to camera phones: either people think they're going to be the greatest thing since the first internet browser or they're a silly waste-of-time trinket that's only going to make mobile phones (that don't work all that well already) more expensive. As with any such situation where there are extreme viewpoints, it often helps to have someone take a bit more of an objective look at what's really happening in the camera phone space. The summary seems to be that they're coming, no matter what. What people aren't quite as sure about is whether or not people want them. In fact, in areas where camera phones are being offered, there's really not much evidence that they're using them all that much. Also, while much of the push for camera phones has focused on how it will help the carriers by driving more wireless data usage, some providers have said they've seen no evidence to support that. Does this mean the whole camera phone concept is set to come crashing down before it's really begun? It's certainly possible. As with so much in the wireless space, the ridiculous level of hype has a tendency to do more damage than help. However, there are a few reasons why camera phones may work out after all. First off, people aren't buying camera phones for the camera. They're buying them for the phone. The camera just comes along with it. As such, handset makers and wireless carriers don't have to be nearly as concerned about the success of camera phones early on. It's almost a "stealth" way of seeding the market (if you can call this stealth). Next, whether or not users think they'll use camera phones isn't so much of an issue compared to whether or not they actually will use camera phones - and that will depend on the applications. People are going to realize that there are an awful lot of connected cameras out there - and that presents an opportunity. It's not the fact that everyone will have a camera in their hands, but the fact that those cameras are connected that will drive people to start creating applications that take advantage of that - whether for productivity, for safety or for fun. It's those applications that will make the camera phone worth while. I doubt that it will happen nearly as fast as most folks in the industry would like, but I certainly don't think it's the fad that some columnists/analysts are predicting will quickly go away.

eWeek reports on an interesting new trend: cellphone carriers asking manufacturers to start offering versions of their phones without the digital cameras built-in. Why? Because for security reasons their business customers don't want to issue their employees cellphones that can potentially snap pictures of sensitive company material and documents. Verizon has already asked Samsung to develop a camera-free version of the i700 and Sprint is talking to Handspring/palmOne/whoever about doing the same thing for the Treo 600.

Camera Phone Rules That Don't Seem New

Camera Phone Rules That Don't Seem New 04/27/2004 05:27 PM
Over in Australia, the government is sending out a set of camera phone guidelines to schools suggesting they implement the rules to deal with the growing popularity of camera phones. The rules include banning the use of camera phones in locker rooms and bathrooms, as well as disciplining those students who use camera phones to cheat or bully other students. These are all actions that require punishment, but I'm wondering why the technology needs to be singled out. I would assume that it's pretty obvious that you shouldn't be taking pictures in a locker room or bathroom. Isn't that already "banned" by the school? Similarly, bullying or cheating seems like the type of thing that the school already has rules against. Why create a separate classification that involves the use of a camera phone. All it does is demonize the technology, rather than the action. Even worse, those who came up with the guidelines admits that there's no known problem with camera phones in schools - but they're trying to stop it before it becomes a problem. So, they're trying to solve a non-existent problem by putting in place rules that are already in place. That seems positively useless.

Kicked Out Of Parliament For Looking At
A Camera Phone 12/18/2003 03:30 PM
The latest slap down for daring to pick up a camera phone and (gasp! oh no!) look at it, was over in the UK where an MP was thrown out for checking his phone to see who had called. Someone noticed this, and informed the speaker, who kicked him out of the chamber for "using a camera". Except, he wasn't using the camera. Just looking to see who called. As he points out, if he wanted to use the camera it would be pretty obvious. Once again, you have to wonder why there's so much backlash against just having a camera phone, when the folks involved aren't doing anything bad with at all. Why are we making it a crime to possess tools that have plenty of perfectly good uses - just because there's the potential to misuse it?

Just for kicks, I used the camera on my Morotola V710 to take a shot looking down the hall on the way out of work today. I then e-mailed it to myself (typing e-mail addresses on a cell phone sucks, btw). As you can see, the image quality isn't great (click it to see the whole thing). But I didn't exactly buy it for the image quality. The upload was surprisingly quick. This mobile stuff is all high-tech these days....

Camera Phone Photos Not So Bad Afterall 06/22/2004 04:34 AM
At the top of the list of complaints among reporters and analysts who simply don't get the concept of camera phones is almost always the tired line that "the photo quality sucks." It doesn't take a genius to work out that the technology is improving rapidly, and it won't take long for that complaint to fade away. A new study suggests that day may even be closer than many expected. The study compared photos from camera phones with regular phones and found that, surprisingly, the camera phones could hold their own when it came to photo quality. The study was fairly thorough in testing a variety of situations and cameras in order to come up with a detailed set of results. The end result was that even the low-end camera phones often displayed quality that wasn't too far off from cheap disposable film cameras. However, once they started going to higher end camera phones, the quality quickly surpassed the one-time use cameras, suggesting it won't be long until disposable cameras are a thing of the past as well.

Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro

Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro 08/18/2004 11:06 AM

I was about to unleash the hounds on Turtle Beach for pushing their new Audio Advantage Micro as a "Virtual Surround Sound USB Audio Adapter," because just about every computer made in the last five years or so has been able to do that passable (if not ear-blowing) stereo "surround" out-of-phase trick. But lo! I actually read more than the first paragraph (don't expect this to become a habit) and discovered that it also has an option to connect up the $30 unit to a real 5.1 system - via a digital TOS-LINK optical cable - to provide actual, honest-to-god surround sound. So if you look at it that way, the fake headphones surround option is sort of cool, because now the point of failure is you and your lack of 5.1-capable headphones/ears. Turtle Beach would give you more, you see, if you could just hang with them.

Those Two Turtle Doves Are Going To Be A
Bit Late 12/24/2004 12:18 PM
In the late 90s there were stories every year about how e-commerce was growing -- but that companies were having trouble getting their shipments in on time. The FTC even cracked down and fined a bunch of retailers for, well, ruining Christmas. Every year, retailers insist that this year they'll get it right... and every year there are problems. Last year, the problem was with RedEnvelope who realized they were falling behind and had to spend all their leftover money (and then some) on expedited shipping. Amazon.com has always tried to position themselves as the leader in this area, but it looks like their UK branch is going to be the straggler this year. Due to a variety of mishaps, it looks like a lot of Amazon UK customers won't be getting their gifts on time this year. In some cases, it's particularly problematic. iPods that were ordered back in November aren't expected to ship until February. DVDs and books that some ordered are apparently just going out now, and aren't expected to be delivered until next week. Update: Amazon UK is now denying the story, saying that the only item they have had a problem with are the iPods.
