A Desktop That Will End The Desktop Wars
A Desktop That Will End The Desktop Wars
01/19/2004 01:46 AMThe problem why there are so many battles and wars on the desktop is
primarily due to lack of standards. Most of the desktop models
rolled-out nowadays contain vendor specific implementation that is
usable within the vendor definition. As a result, no interconnection
between dissimilar environments (brandwise) exists. One can see some
interfaces that work while others are only available on one, missing
on another.

"If you’re really hardcore about traveling light, you might
want to become the ultimate road warrior and dispense with your laptop
or PDA altogether and get M-System’s Xkey 2.0, a USB key drive
with a 32-bit processor inside it that lets you run programs right off
of it. The idea is to have everything you need for work (email,
databases, Java applets) stored on the portable drive, and then you
can just plug it into any PC you can find (maybe hotels could even
offer loaner laptops to business travelers), and you have a fully
functional workstation, exactly like the one you use at work. Even
better than that? Unplug it from the PC and it leaves no traces of
your work behind — the Xkey 2.0 even removes web browser cookies
and all temporary files." [Engadget]
Can you imagine the look on librarians' faces when patrons start
bringing in devices like these and expect to be able to plug them into
our public access computers?

11/15/2003 07:50 PMSpotted on Slashdot, IBM's Open Source
Desktop - Directions for today... and Tomorrow presentation
includes one slide that really caught my attention:
To
continue our own journey to becoming an on demand business, IBM
expects to migrate our internal desktop environment, where
appropriate, to open standards based on the Linux
platform.
Of course, depending on how they define "appropriate" this could be
a lot less exciting than it looks. Still, it's a pretty huge boost for
the Linux desktop movement.

Google On Your Desktop
Google On Your Desktop
05/24/2004 02:27 PMLast week we posted about
Google's
desktop search tool (codenamed Puffin), and here come the stories
on how the move
pits
Google against Microsoft. While that might not be too far from
the truth, the article's suggestion of a Google-Lindows partnership to
take on Microsoft seems a bit of a stretch. But what about a
Google-branded (GMozilla?) browser? It wouldn't be surprising if
there's a Google employee spending his 20% "free" time on making a
Google browser that is Google-ad-friendly. (The press would go crazy
over that, as would the privacy freaks.) Competing directly with
Microsoft
will
probably bring a lot of headaches for Google. So maybe the best
way to
compete with
Microsoft is to ignore them and simply continue to produce useful
products.

Ventana Scroll Lamp

Somebody
needs to steal the concept of the Ventana scroll lamp and manufacturer
a cut-rate version for less than the $700 the original goes for,
because I would like to place dozens of them in my apartment for
various uses, such as lighting up things, looking at, and swinging
them out 180° on their mounts and saying "huh," and "would you
look at that?" As it stands, though, a couple of halogen bulbs and a
roll of space toilet paper isn't going to pry the better part of a
grand out of my pocket.
The Ventana isn't the only lamp Pablo Designs has, either, and I
found many of them to be pretty nifty.

Tec USB Hub Wheel, Fan
03/29/2005 04:22 AM
Continuing with the Tec product announcements, the
company has also introduced the "USB Hub Wheel W" and "USB Senpuuki
Mist W." The USB Hub Wheel W brings a somewhat innovative development
to the USB hub market by equipping the hub with a "wheel" mechanism;
the cable that connects to the PC (or Mac) can be wound up inside the
housing like a garden hose.
Finally, we have the "USB Senpuuki Mist W." "Senpuuki" is Japanese
for "fan" (as in, "electric fan"), so I don't think this product needs
a whole lot of explaining. At the center of the fan assembly is a logo
plate that contains a light, so something like could be used for long
summer nights in front of the boob tube (or LCD).
