for $88
08/04/2004 01:31 PM

wrt54g.jpg imageOkay, this on is a little hard to follow, but it's worth it, so stick with me. Amazon has the Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G router (the one that runs Linux that you can flash with the magic firmware to make it do all sorts of interesting tricks) bundled with a Wireless-G notebook card for $108 (there's a "Better Together" link on the product page). If you buy both, you can use the $10 rebate on both to save $20, then go on to qualify for a $20 gift certificate on future Amazon shopping.

So basically you're getting a really nice, tinker-ready Wi-Fi router for $68 with free shipping. Not a bad deal at all, but if you still aren't seeing why this is a good deal, you probably wouldn't want one in the first place.

SMC’s Newest Wireless Bluetooth USB

12/17/2004 06:44 PM
SMC® Networks (www.smc.com), leading provider of networking solutions for the SMB/e, the ISP and all the way home, today announced the newest member of the EZ Connect™ family of home networking products, the SMC-BT10 EZ Connect Wireless Bluetooth® USB Adapter. The new Bluetooth USB adapter makes it easy to set-up a personal area network (PAN) that connects up to seven Bluetooth-equipped devices such as wireless phones or PDAs. And, Bluetooth 1.2-compliance means that it can take advantage of the better performance and faster connections, while retaining full backward compatibility. [PRWEB Dec 17, 2004]

Mossberg on Wireless Audio


Mossberg on Wireless Audio 01/16/2004 11:01 AM
The Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg reviews the Creative Technology Sound Blaster Wireless music system: Mossberg is very up on the device, which avoids some of the weaknesses of similar Wi-Fi-to-audio adapters by having its display built right into the remote control. (Mossberg complains about having to enter a hexadecimal encryption key into the Sound Blaster software to attach it to his protected network. He speaks for all home users when he writes, No normal consumer knows what "Hex" is, and companies should stop expecting them to use it. On the other hand, when he says that the key is rendered in an arcane and obscure kind of techie code called "Hexadecimal" he's just being crotchety. Hexadecimal is just base 16: 0 to 9 and the letters A to F. Fortunately, WPA will replace the hex-interfaced WEP system eventually.) I saw a similar device, Slim Devices's Squeezebox, at Macworld Expo last week. The Squeezebox has wired and wireless interfaces, a nice remote control, and a two-line bright LED display. It plays MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and WMA (among other formats) with the jukebox running on a Linux, Windows, or Mac system....

USB Audio Receivers

RX-D702B_g.jpgIt’s strange that JVC is hiding its Wireless USB goodness under a bushel, but three recently released devices—the sake-soaked EX-D5 and two receivers, the RX-D702 [pictured] and the RX-D302—haven’t gotten much attention. Most of these were released at CES but didn’t see American shores until this month.

In JVC’s world, Wireless USB lets the kids, who certainly enjoy them some MP3s, stream their music at around 480Mbps. A standalone client sits on the PC and sends music out to multiple receivers.

belkin_dar.jpg imageThe Belkin PureAV Wireless Digital Audio Receiver sounded like a pretty decent product when PCMag ran their little blurb. A simple and cheap ($130) 802.11b receiver that could be dropped on any wireless network, slurp up your MP3s and other audio, and pump out sound to your stereo. You could even listen to internet radio without having any PCs on. So, uhm, where is it? There's nothing on Belkin's website about it, and PCMag hasn't given us anything else. (Thanks, Chris.)

Elemental Audio Systems on Tuesday introduced Neo dynium, a plug-in for RTAS, Audio Unit and VST-compatible audio software designed for compression and dynamics processing. It uses an "I/O Map" visual interface that helps audio pros optimize and direct their efforts, rather than relying on more common transfer curves and displays. Neodynium costs US$159 (and is available for $139 for a limited time). It works with Digidesign Pro Tools, Emagic Logic and other software. System requirements call for a G3 or faster with Mac OS X v10.2 or newer and a compatible host application.

Sirius Stream Jockey, Then A Sharp Turn
Into a Delphi XM Roady 2 Review


Sirius Stream Jockey, Then A Sharp Turn
Into a Delphi XM Roady 2 Review
08/16/2004 12:41 PM

roady2_sirius.jpg image

Sirius has a new model of their satellite radio hardware, the Stream Jockey [pictured right, because I keep going right to left for some reason]. Also known as the XACT XTR Plug & Play Satellite Receiver, the $100 device can be outfitted with a universal docking station for another $60, or desperate docking stations for the car and home can be thrown in for $50 apiece. It's clear that the Stream Jockey is Sirius's answer to the Delphi XM Roady 2, which I just so happen to have been testing for the last month or so.

So let that be my heavy-handed segue into my experiences with the Roady 2, after the jump.

Apple steals iTunes customers' paid-for
rights to stream


Apple steals iTunes customers' paid-for
rights to stream
03/17/2005 03:56 AM
Cory Doctorow: Apple's iTunes DRM has a lot to hate, but first and foremost is that Apple can cheat you by taking away rights that you had when you bought your music. If you bought music from Apple a month ago, you got the right to stream it to anyone on your local network. If you had the hot track that your whole dorm coveted, they could all stream the music from your computer to theirs and give a listen.

But once you install the new iTunes 4.7.1 "update" (more accurate to call it a "downgrade") you lose that ability. Without telling anyone, Apple has stolen some of the rights you paid for when you bought your iTunes music, by adding limits to the number of people you can stream your music to in a 24 hour period. Imagine if your boom-box refused to switch itself on if too many people were in the room -- the 21st Century equivalent of gathering in one room to listen to music is gathering on one network to do so, and Apple has just appointed itself the absolute, tyrannical ruler of the size of the social group that you're allowed to stream iTunes music to.

Never mind that the iTunes itself lacks any means of controlling who you stream to only gives you coarse-grained password tools to control who can connect to your streams -- unless you wall off your collection with a password, anyone on your LAN can stream and Apple doesn't give you the tools to limit or even see who's streaming, so the stranger three rows over in class might be using up the one session you're saving for your neighbor when you get back to the dorm.

Apple has done this downgrading several times before, taking away rights you paid for, like the right to burn a playlist 10 times (down to seven), the right to stream over the Internet (now jut the right to stream over the LAN) -- and Apple's also used its ability to remotely disable features on your iPod and in iTunes to shut out competitors' products, like the Real music player and iPod Download, both of which offered legal functionality to Apple's customers.

Apple has moved to restrict the streaming capability. In the good old days it used to support five simultaneous listeners, but now allows only allows five listeners a day.

Podcasting Do-It-Yourself-Guide Review 06/17/2005 03:50 PM

One of the first full reviews of my book is out and I do want to point out several points that he was concerned about. I went to great lengths to define acronyms as the entered the conversation and sometimes diverging from the train of thought to make sure people understood what specific acronyms meant before resuming the conversation.

And certain topics he thought I covered to deeply but I felt it was important for people to see examples of the structure of RSS as enclosures are the glue that has allowed Podcasting to be unique in the content delivery.

Overall though good review. [reviews.geekstreak.com]
