'Escape-A-Date' ringtones help you lie
like an (unwired) dog 08/04/2004 01:47 PM
Cingular Wireless recently introduced an odd new tool for subscribers. "Escape-a-Date" is touted as "the perfect service to use when you are afraid that your blind date may not be just right for you." Users schedule a "rescue" phone call at a pre-set time which tells them exactly how to lie their way into speedy escape. Eight randomly-generated humorous scripts are offered, here's a snip from one:

Hey, this is your escape-a-date call. If you're looking for an excuse, I got it. Just repeat after me, and you'll be on your way!

"Not again! Why does that always happen to you? ... Alright, I'll be right there." Now tell 'em that your roommate got locked out, and you have to go let them in. Good luck!"

It's actually not the first, um, wireless falsification enabler. Virgin Mobile USA also offers subscribers the option to set up a "Rescue Ring" to escape any situation -- romantic or otherwise -- by simply scheduling a time when they want to receive an automated system call. "Save yourself from bad dates, boring meetings, or any other situation that needs interrupting," says the Virgin website. Emily's Ringtoni a blog has more on the mobile fakeout meme. Doug Rushkoff has more on the Cingular service over at The Feature. And don't forget the web classic, Rejection Line. But really, people -- WTF ever happened to honesty? (via unwired list)

Open Door Networks announced on Wednesday that Envision 1.0 is now shipping. The application, which was previously available as a public Beta, allows you to view images from the Web in a wide variety of ways, such as in a slideshow, a set of thumbnails, multiple windows, a rotating desktop picture, or occupying the full display with a digital picture frame around them. You can also pull Web images through Mac OS X's screensaver, complete with the ability to pan around them and zoom in and out. You can download Envision from the Open Door Web site and try it out for 30 days before you have to pay for a license, which is US$39 through Aug. 15 and $49 after that date. It requires Mac OS X v10.2.8 or higher.

New fried equipment

New fried equipment 08/28/2004 05:11 PM
I came back from vacation, turned on my computer, and found that my expensive, way-over-powered APC uninterruptible power supply (APC BACK-UPS XS 1500) has been fried: The overload light blinks and the thing shrieks until you force it to shut up. It is less than a year old. This is one in a multi-year series of electrical failures that have escaped the diagnosis of professional electricians and the power company. The UPS is rated for something like 1200 units and the equipment running off it totals under 400. An electrician installed a new panel in the basement and ran twin...

Quite The Telecom Equipment Scam

Quite The Telecom Equipment Scam 09/03/2004 07:53 PM
Broadband Reports point us to a Forbes story concerning the huge telecom equipment scam operation called Norvergence. The company was apparently selling $2,000 router/firewall boxes (that were available for $300 on eBay) by calling it "The Matrix: a merged access transport intelligent exchange." They then targeted small, non-tech-savvy businesses with fast talking salespeople promising "unlimited broadband, landline and cell phone service with no per-minute charges." Even better, they weren't actually selling them, but "leasing" them at $300/month for a minimum five year lease. Then, to make matters even more ridiculous Norvergence sold those leases to leasing and banking companies. Norvergence got all the cash ($143 million in 2003) and ran, while everyone else got screwed. Meanwhile, the founders of Norvergence have already bankrupted another telecom startup, leaving creditors in the hole by nearly $70 million, and are already hard at work on yet another telecom startup. Why not? It seems to pay so well. Is there any possible reason these guys haven't been arrested yet?

Unusual paintball equipment

Unusual paintball equipment 02/05/2005 09:02 PM
Speci al Ops Paintball's Razorback Mechanized Tank, made from an Israeli reconnaissance vehicle, can fire 30 .68-caliber paintballs per second, launches Nerf rockets, and has space for a driver and three gunners, all for just $42,000. Julius Tank looks more like a truck than a tank. I've never met these two tank crews, but after taking on similar vehicles, I know how humbling it is to watch 30 of your teammates get eliminated in mere seconds after one of these bad boys arrives. Luckily, they can be defeated by any medium-sized Nerf weaponry.

Chip Equipment: A Lingering Fog

Chip Equipment: A Lingering Fog 03/20/2003 01:05 PM
Standard & Poor's expects modest growth -- perhaps 5 to 10 percent -- in semiconductor equipment sales in 2003. After a nearly 60 percent decline in industry revenues from 2000 to 2002, growth of 5 to 10 percent would indicate that the group is stabilizing. And recent trends in chipmakers' unit-production volumes have turned modestly favorable.

Word Processing Equipment and airlines

Word Processing Equipment and airlines 05/26/2004 06:16 PM
British Air announces before each flight that "word processing equipment" must be switched off. It's hilarious, I keep picturing someone up there in Posh Bastard Class who's booked an extra couple seats for his Xerox Word Processor and a long-suffering "word-processing-specialist" to operate it. Also, why the hell does Air Canada forbid the use of in-flight "modems and printers" (and how do they reconcile the ban on modems with the fact that they provide hideously expensive in-flight phone service, with modem jacks?)
