Suunto N6-HR SPOT Watch


Suunto N6-HR SPOT Watch 12/28/2004 11:13 AM

suunto_n6hr.jpg imageSuunto looks to be releasing the n6-HR Microsoft SPOT Watch soon, if the new pre-order list from a Suunto watch dealer is to be believed. Supposed to ship on January 6th, the new $400 watch is designed for the athletic, 401k-monitoring grandfather, with a built-in heart rate monitor, training logbook, and broadcast stock market information and other data broadcasts from the MSN Direct service. And unlike many SPOT watches, it doesn't suffer from tragic industrial design.

Wireless Watch 2004: UbiButton Watch
Super Clapper
07/22/2004 08:11 AM

wjdcm19l.jpg imageWIRELESS WATCH 2004 is going on in Japan until Friday, and there are plenty of new product demonstrations as well as those currently in development on display. This year's hot sheet includes NTT DoCoMo's "UbiButton," a device similar in form factor to a wristwatch. By detecting the shock waves in the arm created by a simple snapping of the fingers, a switch is flipped that can, for example, turn a light on and off. In other words, DoCoMo has glorified The Clapper to now be called The Snapper. Actually, I know a couple people that can't snap their fingers...what the hell are they supposed to do? [Uhm, clap? - ed] Other highlights from the convention included a working model of a Bluetooth pen, and DDI Pocket's "Jacketphone," a SD card sized PHS module. TechJapan has full Day 1 coverage, with pretty pictures.

NASA Fired Will Carpenter for writing a short story. "Some kind of harrassment," they said, and since Texas is an at-will employment state, there's not much he can do about it. Is this story a valid means of self-expression or a harrassing glimpse into jilted anger? I've stumbled across more and more news stories about people being fired for writing, and students expelled for writing "dark poetry" in the classroom. How much do you have to keep secret from your classmates and co-workers?

I guess I am into domesday scenarios, and think if you are going to spend money to fire a projectile at a comet then why not fire a nuke at it and see what effect that has. Instead they plan on making a mini crater on the comet and looking at the dust. I suppose a nuke would defeat their plan to look at the dust created by the impact. [ZDNet]
