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

WIRELESS 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.

Librarian in Black

"This site was born out of my displeasure at having to wade through dozens of websites, blogs, & RSS feeds related to librarianship, technology, webmastery, and current issues to find those few posts that applied to me as a Tech Librarian. I hope this site can serve as a one-stop-shop for all us Techie Librarians...web design, technology news, library world news, reference stuff, funky gadgets, and other useful (or simply amusing) sites and posts. It also has an RSS feed (a must for lazy people like me)."

And as befitting such a site, there is, of course, an RSS feed. Subscribed!

Once the stuff of academic and corporate experimentation, ubiquitous computation (or "ubicomp") is gearing up for its commercial debut in the very near future. Along the lines of ostensibly "nanotechnologic al" pants, the reality of ubicomp as made manifest in consumer products may fall somewhat short of the prognostications: buying a person al communicator designed to work seamlessly within a ubicomp context is not the same thing as living in and with a truly pervasive network.

But already there are signs that the ubiquitous visions beloved by the corporate players and enshrined in their hype are coming into being. So which do you think it'll be? Guardian angel or inescapable, panoptical prison? Neither? Maybe both? I have a sinking feeling we're going to find out, one way or another.

Once they realized that some of their favorite flash sites came from the blue they wanted daddy to put up their favorite. Well here it is, my boys present to you Captain Underpants' battle with the Bionic Booger Boy, a gross interpretation of Galaxian. If you have young boys, check out the author's site and his books.

Animated LED Watch

Animated LED Watch 03/19/2005 02:45 AM

Evincing the fondest memories of KIT from Knight Rider, the TS100 from Cyber Punk is an LED watch featuring a mirrored face and several different scrolling effects on its LED grid. The grid consists of 90 LEDs, and when you press the button they do their little dance and "fade away", leaving illuminated what remaining lights are required to tell you the time (or date). Completely stainless steel, they're available for import now from TokyoFlash for roughly $140 including shipping, "because you are a rebel!" An animated graphic on the catalog page gives you a good idea of how it works.

A Watch? How Last Millennium!

A Watch? How Last Millennium! 04/04/2005 06:22 AM
Thanks to the growing popularity of mobile phones, more people are getting rid of their watches -- realizing that it's just as easy (and often, more accurate) to just look at their phone. It appears that this trend has watchmakers in full revolt mode, even to the point of suing a wireless carrier because its commercials depicted watches and clocks as being items worth discarding. It's not clear what sort of leg they have to stand on, even in France. It's a shame, really, because the watch often seems like a good form factor to be used for carrying additional (wearable) computing power on you. Already, my watch has an MP3 player in it, and I find that to be much more useful and easy to carry around than a full-fledged portable music device, since I don't have to carry around an extra device. The smarter watchmakers are recognizing this and building in both additional smarts and connectivity into watches.

Watch out for Mac OS spyware

Watch out for Mac OS spyware 03/29/2005 10:45 AM
Gartner Dataquest is cautioning businesses reliant on the Mac to guard against "spyware infestations." According to ZDNET News, Martin Reynolds, vice president of Gartner's Dataquest organization, said although the overall Mac user base is relatively small, just one vulnerability exploit could cause trouble. "The Macintosh installed base is relatively small, with only about three percent of systems in use today running the Mac OS… The Mac OS is also a harder target… However, it only takes one exploited weakness to cause trouble," said Reynolds in a research note. He added that a Mac-only worm would be unlikely to spread very quickly. It might be possible to create a hybrid worm that attacks both the Mac and Microsoft Windows operating systems, but such an attack would be difficult to orchestrate.

HP-01 calculator watch

HP-01 calculator watch 03/27/2005 03:25 AM
"Time: elusive and immediate...limited yet infinite. Because time is important to you, Hewlett-Packard introduces the HP-01, a new dimension in time management and personal computation." Truly, such an important model number could only be bestowed upon the king of all early calculator watches. No less than three batteries were required (two for the LED display alone), and even HP's impressive engineering was unable to save the HP-01 from the curse of bulkiness; it did not sell well at the $650 price point. The HP-01 was discontinued in 1980, as inexpensive LCD calculator watches began flooding the market (don't lie, you know you had one).
