Simply put, Jobs has managed to inject Apple's DNA into the PC world, meaning that it will be increasingly easy for his company to offer PC users any kind of iPod-style device -- whether for music or other media -- the company may create in the future.

Why I should not be let near hardware

Why I should not be let near hardware 06/05/2005 11:10 PM
I have this morning failed to install a new motherboard (an Asus P4P800-E) on my machine. The little internal LED is on indicating that power is getting to it somewhere somehow, but nothing else comes on. Yes, I've checked that the internal power connectors are connected. Tomorrow I will bring it to the friendly local computer store where they they have the decency not to laugh at me until I've left....

I like my iBook. Its name is Snowy. Here’s what it’s missing:

• A way to easily disable the caps lock key, for those of us whose large clumsy hands keep hitting it by mistake.
• Better yet, no caps lock at all: for such a rarely-used key it takes up inordinate space on the keyboard. You could lock and unlock caps by hitting Shift twice, no?
• A low-wattage FM transmitter, so audio can be played through a home stereo without mucking with jacks and cables.
• Somewhere else for the CPU. Even with ample circulation the heat buildup under the heel of my left hand is annoying.
• Better access to the function keys. I’m roughly four times more interested in using f-keys than I am in Exposé or adjusting volume or screen brightness, yet I have to use a combination of keys to get to them.
• A full stop/period/dot/whatever that doesn’t require the shift key (particular to AZERTY keyboards but a pain nonetheless).
• The ability to close the screen without it going to sleep, so it can operate as an unobtrusive stereo component, server, downloader, whatever.
• It should sense whenever I enter the room and immediately begin playing Back in Black by AC/DC.

Just wanted to get that out.

SFC.  American Democrats travel to Iraq, talk to leaders, and come away impressed. The grind of 4th gen global guerrilla warfare isn't visible at the top.  All the well intentioned leadership in the world doesn't matter if the state's system is fundamentally broken and unable to reboot.

Hardware Redux

Hardware Redux 12/27/2003 01:38 PM

I’d be remiss not to pass on more of the helpful information people have sent in response to the recent whine about the iBook’s shortcomings:

• As posted before, uControl makes remapping troublesome analphabetic keys easy, e.g., putting fn keys back into usefulness and killing the caps lock, though it does require you to be utterly up to date, Panther-wise.
• Regarding FM transmitters, Jonathan Woolson recommends this C Crane device.
• Jonathan also mentions the importer of some industrial design porn from Japan: titanium/aluminium Powerbook and iBook stands that solve heat buildup problems and which echo the seemingly unkillable trend of vertically-oriented food in restaurants.
• The heat under the left handrest can be reduced by NOT unchecking, as I had done, the option to ‘put the hard disk to sleep whenever possible’ when the power adaptor is plugged in (thanks to Marshall Sokoloff for pointing out that the disk, not the processor, is in that spot).
• The glowing sleep light can of course be covered with white electrician’s tape, much in the same way that the television screen can be painted black whenever a Jude Law movie comes on.

Wikimedia servers - Wikimedia's Meta wiki: Ever wanted to know exactly what hardware powers Wikipedia? Here's a detailed list of their servers, their CPU stats, and the OS they're running (all RedHat 9 or Fedora, it looks like).

To see how these servers handle the load, check out the Ganglia Cluster Stats. Here's the budg et for hardware — they're about to spend another $20,000 and that leaves them flat broke from the w ave of generosity from a year ago.

I swear, if I won the lottery, I'd give my first million to Wikipedia. For now, $25 will have to do.

On Hardware Failures

On Hardware Failures 01/01/2004 02:15 AM
One of the computer industry's dirty little secrets is hardware failure. The few of us who work in, near, or otherwise around large computer installations take this for granted. Companies like Yahoo have people on staff that spend a lot of their time dealing with failing memory, buggy motherboards, smoked power supplies, bad disks, and overheating CPUs. Google, from what I read, doesn't even bother anymore. But the larger world probably doesn't see this very often. Many are likely just...

Evolutionary Hardware

Evolutionary Hardware 08/12/2004 04:31 AM
Taking evolutionary concepts and applying them to artificial intelligence software is nothing new, but suddenly, it's getting a lot more interest in the hardware field as well (Salon stuff required). There's just one problem: even when the evolutionary means come up with the necessary solution, it's not always to figure out how or why. For some, this doesn't matter. If they need the hardware to do something, and it does, they're perfectly happy -- even if they can't explain it. For others, though, this is troublesome. One other interesting aspect of this work is that, apparently, some of the "evolved" hardware runs into patent problems. This is particularly amusing, since patent protection should be designed to stop humans from "stealing" ideas from others. However, can you patent evolutionary ideas that a machine comes up with on its own? It would be difficult to suggest that ideas where somehow stolen.

IST reports, "Visionaries more than half a century ago imagined machines capable of growth, self-repair and self-replication. By digitally mimicking biological tissue's properties, European researchers recently demonstrated a platform for autonomous computer systems." The new platform is the POEtic chip developed by the POEtic Project of the EU IST Program. The chip contains a microprocessor made of reconfigurable cells, similar to an FPGA except that this chip reconfigures itself autonomously in real-time. The chip allows machines to take advantage of the three forces that shape biological life: development, learning and evolution (or ontogenesis, epigenesis and phylogenesis if you're writing a budget proposal). The first shipment of 80 chips will be delivered and tested in autonomous robotic applications this year.

Sony PSP Hardware Problems

Sony PSP Hardware Problems 12/19/2004 03:01 PM

Some early adopters of Sony's PSP are claiming serious build-quality issues with the portable game player, including buttons that can't be fully depressed due to their position over the LCD screen, and discs that will eject themselves when the player itself is twisted. NFG Games has a surprisingly enjoyable write-up about some of the problems with the buttons, including this image of where the right-most D-pad button and the left-most, 'square' control button actually sit on top of the edges of the LCD panel inside, causing the buttons to actually hit (and sometimes scrape past) the edge of the panel—not a huge problem for the square button, they say, but a killer when trying to use the directional pad.
