Save The Children calls on release of

Save The Children calls on release of
Iraqi children from jails. 07/08/2004 10:09 PM
Save The Children calls on release of Iraqi children from jails. This apparently in response to recent media reports on the abuse of children in Iraqi prisons. And it's not just Save the Children who is concerned, but UNICEF, Amnesty International, and the Red Cross. Infact, Congress has called for a special briefing tomorrow from the Pentagon on "confidential reports" from the Red Cross on prison conditions in Iraq. The Pentagon is closing the briefing to the public, however, and apparently thinks that even Congress shouldn't know the details of how we treat prisoners.
"It's something of a stretch of policy and procedures to give them to the Congress," Rumsfeld spokesman Larry Di Rita said.

Xbox 2 to Use Proprietary Discs?

Xbox 2 to Use Proprietary Discs? 12/15/2003 03:16 PM
Microsoft's career page contains a very interesting job advertisement. The ad says that the Xbox Team "is looking for a strong PM/Engineer to manage the design and development of the Xbox Game Disc for the next generation Xbox console." Moreover, the ad stresses the importance of anti-piracy technology in the development of the new discs for the next generation console. Although it is possible that MS will simply try to incorporate sophisticated anti-piracy features in the now standard DVD medium, it is probably easier for them to develop a proprietary format. Nintendo did it with their GameCube discs, and they were quite effective in combating piracy -- so why not Microsoft?

While the discs are more environmentally friendly, simply because they use an easily renewable resource, it isn't entirely clear...

Who Made Your Blank Discs?

Who Made Your Blank Discs? 03/19/2005 02:22 AM

You may think that you know what manufacturer made you blank CD or DVD discs, it was  Fujifilm, TDK Electronics, Ritek, Verbatim, Imation, Hewlett-Packard or another recognizable brand. You would be wrong.  In fact, most of this blank media is manufactured by a short list of companies: India's Moser Baer, Japan's Ricoh and Taiyo Yuden, and Taiwan's CMC Magnetics, Prodisc Technology and Optodisc Technology. The major name brands that actually create their own CD’s are Sony and Philips.

Of the manufacturers that actually make the media, Taiyo Yuden is the one recognized as the best, with the highest quality product. Trying to figure out who makes your media is not easy. The best website for talking about the brands and the media and what are some great deals for media online is Digitalfaq.com.

Here is more from the article on Wired… Some media can burn reliably faster than its rated speed. A DVD+R might be rated at 4X burn speed, yet with certain recorders, it can be burned at 8X. The factors that contribute to high- or low-quality media are varied. Several choices are on the market, and which one is used can affect a disc's reflectivity, and thus its readability. But beyond that, says Pieper, "if your dye is unevenly spread, or the other materials and workmanship are shoddy, it doesn't matter what dye is used." Also, Pieper says if the glue job on the platter is sloppy, "the media literally falls apart."  Taiyo Yuden media stands as the golden child for blank-media enthusiasts. Popular opinion swings the other way for manufacturers such as CMC Magnetics and Princo.

If Plastic Discs Are Dead, What's Next?

If Plastic Discs Are Dead, What's Next? 03/22/2005 05:03 PM
Wired Magazine is now suggesting that discs are dead as a storage medium. With all the battling going on over the next generation of DVD technology, Wired's products editor, Robert Capps, notes that not very many people seem to care about the new "high definition" audio CDs that have come out. Instead, everyone's focused on getting an iPod and digitizing their music. While video is definitely more difficult to transport via the internet, the argument is that the technology is improving for compressing and transmitting larger files. Of course, it might be interesting to put Capps in a debate with Mark Cuban -- who also thinks that discs are dead, but that portable hard drives or flash drives will take their place. Cuban's argument is that "storage is expanding far more quickly than upload or download speeds to our homes," so it's going to be more efficient to move around hard drives than bits of high definition content. With some already experimenting with offer ing content on iPods, it is beginning to look like this battle for the next plastic disc technology may be a waste of time. Update: Then again, some analysts think discs will be big business for the next five years. Of course, analysts always seem to be overly positive in their predictions -- it's what helps sell reports.

Deane's Suggestion for Library Discs

Deane's Suggestion for Library Discs 12/19/2004 03:36 PM

D-Skin

"Every library in the country should get a supply of these for their DVD collections, which are, invariably, the most scratched up set of media in existence." [Gadgetopia, originally from undisclosed location]

This is a great suggestion if we can get a bulk purchase price.

D-Skins

"Just snap one of these onto your music, movie, game or data CD’s and consider them protected. The amazing Liplock Seal snaps onto the edge of any standard size disc and holds tight. Leave your d_skin Protective Disc Skin on while you play away — outside and inside your media players. Seriously. Your discs are totally readable right through the Skin."

Panasonic R3 Review

Panasonic R3 Review 08/03/2004 10:50 AM

One of the great things working at Gizmodo has allowed me to do is to get my hands on a whole range of gadgetry that I probably wouldn't have been able to play around with otherwise. Since I work from home, each ring of the doorbell means there's probably something new coming, so it's a little like Christmas, except when I return the gifts nobody gets pissy. But despite the joy of opening up all the gadgets and trying them out, most of them -- especially the laptops -- end up being disappointing, and I'm rarely too upset to send them back to the vendor and manufacturer.

Not so with the Panasonic R3, a machine so well put-together that I actually considered buying one for my own personal use, and if it didn't cost twice that of my budget (importers are selling it for around $2800 for a fully-spec'd out unit), I probably would have. What makes the R3 the hands-down best sub-notebook I've ever used? Well, for starters, it actually usable.

Panasonic VDR M70 with DVD-RAM Burner

Panasonic VDR M70 with DVD-RAM Burner 08/20/2004 08:05 AM

Panasonic's new VDR M70 is another DVD-burner on-board digital camcorder, although in addition to DVD-R it also supports the DVD-RAM format (in 3-inch disc varieties, of course). In addition, the VDR M70 has an anemic 1.2-megapixel still camera, 10x optical zoom, and a 2.5-inch LCD monitor. Altogether sort of pedestrian, really, although it does have image stabilization, which should be standard on almost everything these days, but surprisingly often isn't.

Panasonic D-Snap SV-AS30, SV-AS3 09/21/2004 10:38 AM

Panasonic has two new cameras out in their D-Snap line, the SV-AS30 [left] and the SV-AS3. Both are thin-profile 3.2-megapixel cameras that can not only record MPEG4 video, but can also play it back from SD cards, as well as MP3s or WMAs (maybe only the SV-AS3 can do the music playback, I'm not positive). In addition, the cameras have a 16:9 image mode for shooting photos that will later be viewed on HDTV screens (1920 x 1080).

The upright form factor is probably my least favorite camera design there is, but they do look nice an pocketable, so there's that.

Also introduced by Panasonic yesterday were the "SC-PM910DVD" and "SC-PM710SD" minicomponent systems, both supporting a variety of audio formats on a variety of mediums. Each has a 5-CD changer, MD deck, cassette deck, radio tuner, and for the first time in the world, SD card slot. Panasonic has gone to extra lengths to make sure you take advantage of this slot as well; you can play and record audio files from (or to) the inserted card. The units are capable of playing MP3 and WMA files from CDs, and can play those same formats as well as AAC from SD cards. The PM910DVD adds DVD-Video support too, but it's not as if you'll be using such a feature outside of Japan.
