Light travels at 186,000 miles (300 million meters) per second in a vacuum but physicists in the United States and Russia are just a little bit faster, actually capturing the light photons and stopping them in their tracks. The newly-developed technique offers opportunities to improve optical communication, manage quantum data, a boon to the future of both communication and digital security.

You Can't Spell RFID without "If"

You Can't Spell RFID without "If" 11/03/2003 02:35 PM
Radio frequency identification tags are coming, but are they friend, foe, or just too expensive?: WalMart's mandate of RFID tags on products entering their maelstrom will push the adoption of the technology, but some of the futurists' visions of milk carton's reporting in to their home base when they're empty seem like a combination of The Jetsons and 1984. RFID tags are also way too expensive for this vision of the future -- whether AT&T "You Will" utopic or Brave New World dystopic. The cost has to come way down to make them useful for individual products and shelves. Right now, the palette level is the right price point. (Intrepid staffer Nancy Gohring filed the story for The Seattle Times; Nancy is on vacation this week.)...

No one UI fits all - anymore!

No one UI fits all - anymore! 05/26/2004 11:58 AM
One UI Does Not Fit All.

To see the full-screen trailers of The Incredibles and Alexander, Apple is making you use iTunes, rather than its QuickTime player. (It uses QuickTime for the full screen version of Spider-Man II or Sky Captain.) After you view the trailer with iTunes, you end up at the iTunes store's new trailers section. However, most of the trailers housed there drive you to QuickTime, rather than iTunes, as the media player.

I don't believe that one UI fits all. Neither does Apple, usually. There's good reasons that the UIs for QuickTime, iTunes, Safari, the iPod, and OS X are different, and tuned to the functions and medium they're focused on. A browser is about browsing and searching. It accomodates viewing short media like music clips and trailers via plug-ins just fine. Music lends itself to playlists, sorting by artist, album, or genre, and, when portable, one-thumb scrolling and manipulation. Etc., etc.

The iTunes video experience exposes some flaws of the single UI approach. It's probably just an implementation glitch, but with QuickTime you can skip ahead or back in the trailer; you can't with iTunes. Tivo, who is very good at creating a TV UI, falls flat with its music and photo features. Microsoft's Media Center implementations - both portable and TV screen versions - are similarly challenged, though Microsoft, for once, is not crippling them with too many Windows conventions.

[David Card]

I don't believe that one UI fits all - either.

But this isn't necessarily what I meant.

Browsing the Web? Not Anymore 07/09/2004 04:50 PM
I can't remember the last time I actually browsed the Web. You know, just sort of aimlessly following links in the hopes of encountering something unique or interesting. (I'm also glad that idea of calling it "surfing" seems to have become less popular.) Between the few sites I visit daily to get things done, links that come in via e-mail, and the various weblogs and news feeds I guess I'm spending enough time in my browser already. It's a far...

This article has some weird formatting due to an ad insertion - just scroll down the page to read it. “…Twenty years ago, most executives looked down on computers as proletarian tools — glorified typewriters and calculators — best relegated to low level employees like secretaries, analysts and technicians.

Tab, it's not just soda anymore

Tab, it's not just soda anymore 11/18/2002 12:58 PM
Mozilla is an excellent web browser. You heard it here first, folks. I have been using this browser exclusively for about two months now and I have not been disappointed once. It has the best support for W3C standards, as well as being quicker and lighter then Internet Explorer (results may vary). But I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. The real point of this argument is that the top feature in Mozilla, in my opinion, is tabbed browsing. Observe... As an example of how I use the RSS features of my own web site, when I find an article I want to read from one of the links, I middle-click. Mozilla, under the Preferences area, allows you to set the option to have links open in new "tabs". Therefore, I can view numerous web sites at once, without having that number of windows open. Update: I forgot to mention that Mozilla's side-project Phoenix also supports all the goodies that Mozilla does, as well as tabbed browsing, while weighing in a smaller overall size. Check it out; version 0.4 was released last week. Speaking of reading RSS feeds, this evening while I was reading these feeds I clicked on Simon Willison's feed and lo and behold I saw my web site's name. Thanks to Simon for linking to my page, I appreciate it. I enjoy reading his musings daily. New Look: stonefishspine has put up a new design today. He's been testing new designs for a while and I think I like this one best. Speaking of designs, I dig Zeldman's new digs as well.
