Philips Launches 16x Dual Layer DVD
Writer 06/22/2004 10:46 AM

Details are slim -- I couldn't even find a picture, although I'm sure there's not much to see-- but Philips is pushing a new 16x DVD writer into the market that supports the Dual Layer standard. Although the news is clocking the burner at around six minutes per disc, I suspect that rate is only for single-layer DVDs. The 8.5-gigabyte dual layer burners from other manufacturers have been benchmarking much more slowly, in the 20 to 30 minute range for a single disc. Cost estimates are around $200-220 for consumers, and Dell is slated to recieve the first batch. Still, fast, like a cheetah, or a monkey on a cheetah. (Thanks, Jos!)

Web Design Site Comparison

Web Design Site Comparison 08/12/2004 02:40 PM

These web sites are identical — or are they?: Here's a wonderful page that takes 10 sites — all very popular in the blogosphere — then examines them for common elements like search boxes, righthand columns, footers, etc. Degrees if incidence and dissonance are calculated and lead to interesting conculsions.

What is hence noteworthy is that all these designs resemble themselves very much. They use a panel of common element, and then place them at identical locations on their pages. Hence, the difference between one web site and another is then merely colors and pictures.

Why such isomorphism? Because, as in print design, the reader needs to be guided. Font size, for instance, tells the reader such bit is capital and such bit is trivial. This survey attempts to demonstrate this type of statement applied to web design.

Very, very much worth reading. Reminds me of some pages in the back of Jakob Nielsen's "50 Homepages" book where he reprinted common elements ("home" links, search boxes, etc.) from the 50 sites he reviewed.

Levels of Consciouness - A Comparison

Levels of Consciouness - A Comparison 09/12/2004 08:15 PM
Alain Morin of Mount Royal College has released another interesting paper on consciouness. Titled, Levels of consciousness and self-awareness: A comparison and integration of various views (PDF format), it attempts to bring some order to the wide range of theoretical models used to explain levels of consciousness. While the idea of "level of consciousness" has been around for more than a century, few theorists bother to explain their models with reference to previous models, while at the same time, they introduce new terms and concepts that add to the confusion. Alain compares nine theoretical models to find convergences, divergences, and especially important concepts that occur most frequently.

Ok, this story is appearing everywhere, and is a few days old, but people keep submitting it. So, in case you haven't caught it at one of the fifty other sites that have linked to it, according to the Florida State University newspaper, some administration folks there have decided to work out a great "compromise" deal with Apple to let FSU distribute iTunes for free on campus. Yes, that's right, the software that is already free everywhere, will also be free on FSU's campus. We can only assume they had blocked it out entirely before. Even better, FSU administrators struck a hard bargain with those Apple music barons by getting them to take a whopping $0.00 off the price of each song so, yes, you guessed it, each song will cost people $0.99. Such a deal! The best part, of course, are the quotes: "I think it is a fantastic idea," and "This just makes it more available for everybody else to use it." Ah yes, by offering the same deal that everyone else gets, it's now "more available." One hopes that in this "deal" FSU isn't actually paying anything to Apple, but if they are, congratulations Apple for suckering FSU. Someone might suggest (just maybe) that some of the administrators at FSU should sit in on a few classes taught by the wonderfully named Ransom McClung, teacher of classes on financial accounting and, yes, fraud examination.
