Why the 2TB µcard Size Doesn't
Matter 08/09/2004 11:08 AM

So the Taiwanese Industrial Technology Research Institute is rolling out a new type of flash memory card called "µcard" ("microcard," one would assume), to be unveiled formally at the Taipei International Electronics Show in October. And while everyone is getting their panties in a bunch about the 2-terabyte capacity, it should be noted that other existing flash memory formats, specifically Sony's Memory Stick Pro and Memory Stick Duo already support cards in sizes up to 2-terabyte. It all has to do with the addressing and just because someone can support that doesn't mean they will.

What is interesting about the new format, though, is its bandwidth. With a projected speed of 120MB per second (compared to Memory Stick Pro's 20MB per second, for instance) the new card format may not be any bigger than other standards, but it should be able to be written to a lot faster. Only time will tell if anybody will start incorporating the new µcard format into their gadgetry, however.

I just sold my 22" CRT and have replaced it with a 17" Advueu 723A from NewEgg. (NewEgg has become one of my very favorite online stores. Fast, honest, reliable, cheap...and customer reviews.) I want to add a second LCD. The Advueue is so bright that I'm getting glasses-shaped tan lines on my face.I'm wondering whether it's worth an extra $80 to get an LCD with a DVI interface. Will that actually set fire to my hair? (I'm looking at the Samsung 710T.) I don't do a lot of image work, but I do play 3D games. Does the DVI...

No matter where you go... there you are. It is indeed Trysteroic that the self-suing Fox Television, of all media conglomerates (and seemingly, one of the many scions of YoYoDyne?), should have had the brilliant idea to turn "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai" into a TV series. Perhaps the selected few at the Banzai Institute will find a way to get Dr. Banzai to defeat the evil John Joe Millioniare.

People Found to be Overwhelmingly Superficial: Here's a summation of a new Web site credibility report. A little depressing.

The data showed that the average consumer paid far more attention to the superficial aspects of a site, such as visual cues, than to its content. For example, nearly half of all consumers (or 46.1%) in the study assessed the credibility of sites based in part on the appeal of the overall visual design of a site, including layout, typography, font size and color schemes.

Those guys from Average Joe are screwed.

Hacking matter

Hacking matter 06/24/2004 06:41 AM
I've been reading Wil McCarthy's book Hacking Matter, which is a popularized version of the serious study of quantum dots and the ability to build pseudomatter using artificial atoms. How can one not like a book, which contains wonderful sentences such as this one:

Now we can create not only a thin film of goldlike pseudomatter, but a three-dimensional solid with pseudogold dopant atoms on the inside as well. Thus, we can generate a bulk material with the mass of wickered silicon, but the physical, chemical, and electrical properties of an otherwise-impossible gold/silicon alloy.

I mean - even the minuscule thought of it is breathtaking! The wonders of the universe! How could one not love this world, when so many incredible things are about? This could, and would change the face of the world as we know it. You just flick a switch, and you can make a part of the wall transparent - or a light source - or a TV screen - or gold. Whatever pleases you.

As an aside, I also found another very interesting paragraph (among thousands, but this one has an ominous look):

At his insistence, we filed an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and within a few weeks we'd been contacted by the U.S. Air Force about the possibility of maybe licensing it.

Note that even in the US, patents are generally considered secret and proprietary, until a year of the filing date has passed. This is so that the application can be amended, fixed, and just being kept secret from the competitors, who might find a way to redesign around the actual implementation (ideas are not patentable as such). Obviously, the military is ignoring all that and have their own informants within the US patent process... Somehow, that does not surprise me at all.

IT Doesn't Just Matter, It's Critical 05/07/2004 04:14 PM
Following on the post we had yesterday about why Nicholas Carr is barking up the wrong tree with his thesis that IT doesn't matter, here's an article from Don Tapscott in CIO magazine taking apart Carr's ideas in detail. It's really an update to a previous talk Tapscott gave criticizing Carr's ideas, but it's well worth the read. He makes the argument that companies that buy into Carr's beliefs are effectively going to commit suicide, and supports my belief in "fleeting competitive advantages" rather than sustainable ones by saying: "The speed of the competition is accelerating and competitors are trying to catch up. This is the new normal. Companies need to be more agile. Get used to it!"

An open letter to the Citizens of Atwood. This past week, the residents of the small town of Atwood, Kansas voted 984 to 113 to deny gay couples any rights for their relationships (including hospital visitation). Now, the man who set up the town's newspaper website has not only left Atwood, but taken down the website and posted a (mostly) measured response to the town in place of it. Will putting a human face on those being discriminated against ever change the minds of some people, or is one passage in the bible enough for some people to keep justifying their bigoted ways?

Q&A: In a new book, Microsoft VP Robert McDowell takes on the "does IT matter?" debate, contending that IT delivers real value when it serves as a catalyst for rethinking business processes.

In May 2003, business writer Nicholas Carr sparked a heated debate when the Harvard Business Review published his article "IT Doesn't Matter." The premise of his article and a subsequent book "Does IT Matter?" is that business technology has become a commodity that offers little or no competitive advantage.

Missing Matter Found

Missing Matter Found 02/05/2005 10:16 PM

From a Story in Wired
 For years, astrophysicists have been boggled by the fact that the grand sum of all the known "normal" matter in the universe -- that which makes up the stars, the Earth and even our own bodies -- only amounts to half of what should exist based on computer simulations.

Given that multiple simulations have continually yielded the same result, they theorized that the rest of the normal matter, known as baryons, must be hiding somewhere in the space between galaxies. However, they haven't had much evidence to support the theory until now. 

A new study conducted with the help of the Earth-orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed the existence of baryons in at least two giant, intergalactic clouds of super-hot gas 150 million and 380 million light-years from our planet.

The study, which appears in the Feb. 3 issue of the journal Nature, shows how certain wavelengths of X-rays emitted from a distant galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major are being absorbed by the two clouds. The absorption pattern, as detected by Chandra, is consistent with interference caused by carbon, neon, nitrogen and oxygen ions -- in other words, baryons.
