A Brief Visit to the Kennedy Space
Center
04/19/2004 01:41 AMWith nothing else to do before heading to the airport for my flight
back home, I decided to head to the Kennedy Space Center. Well, this
was after sleeping in too late (hey, it was only 7:00am in the Pacific
time zone), packing, and checking out of the hotel. My goal was to see
one of the two IMAX movies that are showing there. (Exercise for the
reader: try to find the show times in advance on their web site.)...

The craft, built by aviation pioneer Burt Rutan, went over
space’s 100km (62 mile) boundary, said mission control. It was
carried to 50,000ft (15km) by its launcher White Knight at which point
it was unleashed. It fired its rockets to continue its trip.”

In the Charts: Media Center 2005 PCs
Take Center Stage Among Desktops
12/29/2004 11:54 AMThis month's Top 15 Desktop PCs chart highlights two trends: the
emergence of powerful new gaming systems that have sophisticated
style, and the rapidly growing selection of Media Center PCs, which
expand PC-based home entertainment beyond gaming. Examples of the
former are two new Athlon-fueled machines that sit atop the power
section of our chart: Alienware's Aurora 64 FX-55 and ABS's Ultimate
M5-64. Both of these systems are visually appealing without shouting
"I'm just for games." Not only are they the two fastest systems on the
chart, but they also produced outstanding sound with their high-end
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 cards and their 5.1-channel Logitech
speakers (the X-530 and the Z-680, respectively).

Videogames Receives NASA Space Act
Agreement To Develop Space Station Game
05/31/2004 01:55 PMVision Videogames of Towson, Maryland received a Space Act Agreement
from The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) earlier
this month to develop their PC/PS2/Xbox game, Space Station:SIM, due
for consumer release this Christmas season. The Space Act Agreement is
a continuation of one received by GRS Games before Vision Videogames
management bought out the company in March 2004. It allows Vision
Videogames a flow of information from, and access to, NASA personnel
so the company can gather information to build their game. “The game
has captured everyone’s imagination. We have individuals and
international agencies including JAXA (The Japanese Space Agency)
volunteering to help us with drawings, science, music – anything you
can imagine,” says company president Bill Mueller. In Space
Station:SIM, the player assumes the roll of the Chief Administrator of
NASA, creating astronaut crewmembers with unique needs, abilities and
personalities while managing their activities and personal
relationships like “The SIMS®”. [PRWEB May 31, 2004]

China's web police
China's web police
06/28/2004 11:00 PMI originally saw this article in the IHT, but found it online on
E-Commerce News.
Howard W. French
China's Web
Police Send Mixed Message
...Internet cafe users in China have long been subject to an
extraordinary range of controls. They include cameras placed
discreetly throughout the establishments to monitor and identify users
and Web masters, and Internet cafe managers who keep an eye on user
activity, whether electronically or by patrolling the premises.
The average Internet user, meanwhile, neither sees nor, in many
cases, suspects the activities of a force widely estimated to number
as many as 30,000 Internet police officers. Experts on China's
Internet say the officers are constantly engaged in a cat-and-mouse
game with equally determined Web surfers, blocking access to sites
that the government considers politically offensive, monitoring users
who visit other politically sensitive sites and killing off discussion
threads on Internet bulletin boards.
[...]
Asked if the privacy of Internet users could be infringed, the
official said that the Shanghai government had noted the issue, but
added that "Internet bars are public areas, and some experts say that
what one says in a public area should not be considered
private."
"Some experts say".. ;-) Some experts will say
anything.
Seriously though, I can only see how this will get worse for both
sides. Obviously the "arms vendors" will make money in the
cat-and-mouse game, but can China afford to ramp up the Internet
police force as China gets more and more wired/wireless. I wonder how
long this "control" can continue and how much it's going to cost them.
I guess that for now, they believe the control is worth the price.
