Should The Web Experience Be More Like

Should The Web Experience Be More Like
The Desktop Experience?
05/28/2004 12:41 PMThere have been many people who haven't been thrilled with the state
of the user experience within the browser. After all, as simple as it
is, it also has quite a few limitations - especially compared to the
typical "windows" (lower case) interface that people are used to on
the desktop. Still, this article at IT-Analysis seems
positive
ly stunned that some company has worked out a way to build a
windows-like interface in the browser. They even point to a
(somewhat buggy)
demo
shopping site, that basically shows how a company could create a
shopping site that feels more like a traditional client-server
application using windows and the ability to drag and drop products
into a shopping cart. It's an interesting interface, but all it
really does is move that traditional interface into the browser.
Plenty of other companies, like Macromedia and Laszlo Systems, have
been working on other interactive interfaces within the browser as
well - so this specific offering doesn't seem all that new or
different. Others have recreated traditional applications (such as
office suites) within the browser as well - so the idea of "drag and
drop" within the browser isn't really that new or exciting. Some web
traditionalists have problems with many of these systems because they
"break the web." There are benefits to having things like standard
URLs that you can send to other people and a traditional hyperlink
system. More advanced interfaces are sometimes nice, but, so far,
many of them seem to cause more problems than they solve. For
example, the sample shopping site above had some confusing buttons at
the bottom, and once I clicked on one, the whole window closed and now
the page refuses to reload. Not the most user-friendly shopping
experience.

Religious coverage
07/17/2004 12:51 PMJay Rosen: Puzzling through the convention story, because I'm heading
right for it, made me to realize that journalism's contempt for
ritual—and if "contempt" is too strong, then the difficulty the
press has in understanding the conventions as ritual—was deeply
involved here. Ritual is newsless; therefore it must be meaningless.
But is that really true? And that's what leads me to the forum now
happening at The Revealer ... If a religion writer covered the
presidential campaign, would campaign coverage be any different? My
reasons for asking this months ago, when we started planning the
forum, were vague. Now they're...

Life Everlasting-the religious right and
the right to die
03/29/2005 08:54 AM
Does the
right to life trump the right to die? In an increasingly
hysterical debate surrounding Terry Schiavo, Garret Keizer provides a
thought-provoking analysis of who should decide when and how a person
dies:
"The alarms raised in America’s ongoing right-to-die debate
have always been characterized by a curious selectivity. You will
notice, for example, how the fear of playing God operates exclusively
on one side of the medical playground. Thus to help a patient end his
or her life “prematurely” is playing God, while extending it in
ways and under conditions that no God lacking horns and a cloven hoof
could ever have intended is the mandate of “our Judeo-Christian
heritage” and the Hippocratic oath."

Religious Gadget Thursday: The E-Meter
Religious Gadget Thursday: The E-Meter
06/24/2005 04:02 PM
Over a ball-breaking glass of Fantome
Brise-Bonbons at Blind
Tiger last night, I made a stunning revelation: I'm totally
entranced by this Tom
Cruise and Katie Holmes experiment. It has everything I
could ever want from a news story: Potential
brainwashing, aliens, ninjas (well, Tom was a samurai once, which
is like a ninja with a bamboo fetish), and gadgets. One in
particular: the 'e-meter,' or 'Electro-psychometer,' a "pastoral
counseling device" used by the Church of Scientology to detect, among
other things, the emotional state and
thoughts of those attached to the device.
The original device was developed by Volney Mathison, a
chiropractor, as an aid
to psychotherapy, ironic considering the vehemence held by
Scientologists against conventional
psychiatric therapy. At heart, the e-Meters are based on the
simple circuitry of the Wh
eatstone Bridge, which measures resistance to current passed
through a human body (or anything else that can be connected to the
'can' electrode probes, including vegetables). Scientology founder and
principal prophet L. Ron Hubbard introduced the original e-meter in
the '50s [pictured above], leading up to the 'Mark V,' which was the
e-Meter of choice for the religion until the 'Mark VI' was released in
the 80s, powered by an Intel 8051 microprocessor.
Find out more about the only electronic gadget that is also an
official 'rel
igious artifact' after the jump.
The Mark V was not the very first e-Meter, but certainly
enjoyed a long period of use. These models may still be found and
purchased for a relatively inexpensive $200 or so, although to be used
in official Church procedures, must undergo a yearly $150 certification
process. E-Meters previous to the Mark V had been
seized by the FDA.
Developed in 1979, the Mark VI was the first major upgrade
since the Mark V and was in use heavily, despite occasional technical
inadequacies that caused some machines to break down. This e-Meter has
a built-in clock.
The
Super VII, developed in the late 80s, was reported to be much more
reliable than the Mark VII, and featured the 'technical' precision to
perform 'upper level auditing.' These units are no longer produced by
Hubbard's Church, but can be found occasionally on eBay for between
$300 and $900. Like all in-service e-meters, the Super VII must be
sent in for an annual certification.
The Cadillac of current official offerings, the Quantum Super
VII is the ultimate in e-meter artifacts, priced at over $4,500 new.
From e-meter.org.uk's
Quantum Super VII page, which may or may not be an official outlet of
the Church: "Using the meter, the auditor ensures the process covers
the correct area in order to discharge the harmful energy connected
with that portion of the preclear’s reactive mind. When charge
lessens, the person heightens his ability to think clearly in the area
being addressed and his survival potential increases proportionately.
As a result, the preclear discovers things about himself and his life
– new realizations about existence, the milestones that mark
his gains."
Since the design of the e-meter itself is relatively simple from an
electronic standpoint, many third-party manufacturers have built
generic models, including models that connect to PCs or PDAs for
statistics monitoring and tracking. If you'd like to get more details
about the variety of e-meters and e-meter clones available, check out
Clearbird's fantasticly comprehensive All Meters: The E-Meter
Supersite. For more information about the e-Meter's history and
use, the Secrets of
Scientology page by David S. Touretzky is equally thorough. The
Church's official site is here.
And yes, this is probably the last 'Religious Gadget Thursday,'
since, well, that's it.
