The 25 Member EU

The 25 Member EU 04/30/2004 08:36 PM
The European Union welcomes 10 new members! As I write this, the celebrations have started as Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia become members of the EU today. While some folks are gonna party like crazy, others are warning of doom and gloom. What do you think? Will this have significant effects on global culture, politics, and economics - or will it merely represent a paper change within the rarefied world of European diplomats, with little other than localized effects on day to day life?

<a href="http://www.spymac.com/member.php?memberid=3820">{_h og}</a><b>Name:</b> hog <b>Birthdate:</b> Spring of the early 80s <b>Best Quality:</b> Humor <b>Worst Quality:</b> Humor <b>First Mac:</b> Mac Classic <b>Current Setup:</b> See the <a href="http://www.spymac.com/gallery/show_photo.php?picid=10953&qu ot; target="_blank">picture in my gallery</a> <div class="infobox">Where was the best place you have ever been on vacation?</div> The Galapagos islands, although I'm not sure I would call it a vacation, cause every day was such a huge learning experience. No one could have taught me that in a classroom. <div class="infobox">What is your favourite food?</div> My favourite food is sushi. I like my sushi like I like my women, naked on a bed of rice, minus the rice. <div class="infobox">Do you have any pets?</div> I have a wild cat that goes by the name Kittay, there are some pictures of her in my gallery. I also have some fish but they come and go, so no need mentioning them. <div class="infobox">What is your favourite kind of fish?</div> To eat or to appreciate? <div class="infobox">Appreciate!</div> That would have to be the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, hands down. <div class="infobox">What is the one urge you often get but never act on?</div> I guess since this interview is PG, it would be breaking stuff. I used to have a terrible temper as a kid, and my parents would send me to my room. I would get so upset that I would start smashing my own things, which would just make me more upset. I am glad I fight the urges to smash stuff now since I now work at a glass desk, that could be a expensive temper tantrum. <div class="infobox">What brought you to Spymac?</div> Macworld NY did in 2002, as well as the iWalk. I think I was in the market for a new laptop, and I wanted to find out if I should buy then or wait for an update, so through my research I stumbled upon Spymac. I used to go to other rumor sites, but never did they have a forums where I could nag people about when I should by my new PowerBook. <div class="infobox">What is your favourite Spymac forum?</div> The mod board, with the stripper pole and the... oh, you mean a public one? I used to like the RLD a lot, but you can only read about the same thing so many times, and I also found out way too much about other members - you just dont need to know how many anatomically correct chunks of rubber some people have. So I guess my favorite forum is the <a href="http://www.spymac.com/forums/threadlist.php?catid=9" target="_blank">Lounge</a>, since it's laid back and just general discussion. <div class="infobox">How do you like working at night time for Spymac?</div> I am being paid for being on Spymac, how do you think I like it? <div class="infobox">Have you made many friends through Spymac?</div> I have made several friends from Spymac. It has such a strong community base that I dont know how anyone on here couldn't make a ton of friends. <div class="infobox">Why didn't you join the rest of the Spymac team in Boston for Macworld?</div> Many reasons. Most importantly it was my girlfriend's birthday that weekend, and someone had to hold down the tech support fort. <div class="infobox">Which three Spymac members would you want to meet?</div> Meeting anyone would mean revealing my true self, and since the world isn't ready for me yet, I'll stay in hiding. <div class="infobox">If you had to be stuck on an island with three Spymac members, who would you choose?</div> I guess I would be stuck on there with AtariST, and a bottle of scotch. With Atari, I know we wouldn't be lost on that island for long, we'd be picked up pretty quick, and the scotch would make the awkwardness of just the two of us seem non-existent. What happens on barren secluded islands, stays on barren secluded islands. <div class="infobox">What kind of music are you into? Who is your favourite musician?</div> I am a huge fan of music, I like all genres, but if I had to pick a single one to top the list it would be hip hop. It is the biggest cultural movement since Rock and Roll in the late 50's early 60's. On top of it all stands Kanye West. It's about time we have someone with something to say other than they're gonna kill someone else. <div class="infobox">Would you ever pose nude for a magazine such as Playgirl or else for a large sum of money?</div> The adult industry already has a hedgehog, and well lets just say I'm not sure I could compete with his, um, "gifted" genetics. Although if I did, I think my back drop would be a funeral. You don't see enough naked people at funerals. I think it would really lighten things up a bit. In fact, that's a great idea, my funeral's dress code is gonna be birthday suits. That will take some of the attention off the dead guy in the box. <div class="infobox">When you first joined Spymac you had a reputation for causing a bit of trouble and you were sometimes a bit of a jerk. You later became a Forum Moderator and now you're working for Spymac. What caused this change in attitude with you on the site?</div> Hey now, are you saying I'm no longer a jerk? Well, when I first came to Spymac I figured I would stir up the pot a bit. I remember I used to rouse GadgetDon real good in the shouts about religion, and now I'm working with him. I guess the reason that I turned the leaf, so to say, was cause I was just too damn good at skirting the line and figured that if I could be so damn good at being bad then I might as well give the friendly thing a whirl. It's a lot better, cause now the shock factor is back when I want it, and now they pay me for being a jerk if I need to be. Hell, how can I complain with that? <div class="infobox">Your avatars are great! You should get some additional ones. Where did you get them?</div> <a href="http://www.spymac.com/member.php?memberid=2794" target="_blank">TimTheEnchanter </a> was kind enough to make them for me on his own time, he is a tremendous artist and was kind enough to do so, if you would like to see more contact him cause I know I sure do. <div class="infobox">If you could live at any time, past or present, what would you choose?</div> I think I would pick present day - I like things how they are. <div class="infobox">If your home was on fire, what would you grab on the way out?</div> If my home was on fire I would probably only grab my cat and my tower. Nothing pisses me off more than loosing my bookmarks and if I lost my MP3s I would have no reason to live. <div class="infobox">If you could be someone else for a day, who would it be and why?</div> I think I would be some real trashy female celebrity; maybe Paris Hilton or Britney. I'd run around all day doing all the things I have always said I would do if I were a girl, which would probably land me in the slammer. That would be OK since there are plenty of nasty things I could do in there still. Always wondered how easy it would be to be a girl and "get" your way out of jail. <div class="infobox">If someone gave you a few million dollars, how would you spend it?</div> On the market and make a few more. <div class="infobox">If you could see anyone in concert (time-travel is permitted), who would it be?</div> Wow, now thats a humdinger of a question. I would have to say Yo-Yo Ma, that would be one hell of a concert. Haha, all jokes aside, probably everyone at Woodstock in '69, especially Jimi Hendrix's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

{_kitty}<b>Name:</b> Katherine <b>Birthdate:</b> 10/09/1984 (Same day as Sean and John Lennon) <b>Best Quality:</b> Kindness <b>Worst Quality:</b> Procrastination <b>First Mac:</b> Honestly, I can't recall my first Mac. It's been so long ago and I was far too young to know the specific Mac we had. I can tell you this though, I grew up with Apple and my heart belongs to it. <b>Current Setup:</b> 300Mhz G3 Rev. B iBook 320MB RAM, 20GB HD and 500Mhz G3, iMac DV SE Snow * <div class="infobox">What brought you to Spymac?</div> Constant pressure from fellow Spymac member, <a href="http://www.spymac.com/member.php?memberid=24531">Bl ackmyst</a>. Month after month I would watch him browse Spymac for hours and hours and I never could understand his fascination with this "online forum." Was there something I was missing? What was so special about it that drew him in for the majority of day? After much deliberation and several discussion with Blackmyst, I finally succumbed to the pressure and became a Spymac member. Over time, I finally understood why he spent so much time here. <div class="infobox">What is your favourite forum?</div> I spend the majority of my time in the Lounge, but sometimes I wander around the RLD. <div class="infobox">You have personal relations with another Spymac member, would you like to tell us a bit about that?</div> Blackmyst and I have been together as a couple for over two years now. He was my first kiss, my first boyfriend, and my first love; so this relationship/bond we have for each other is an extremely important part of my life. <div class="infobox">How long have you lived in Texas?</div> I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. Yeehah. I've been a full blooded Texan for 19 years. <div class="infobox">What is your opinion on blogs?</div> The Blogging community on Spymac is wonderful. The blogs are one of the major reasons why I decided to join Spymac. It's a great outlet to release pent up emotions, showcase your artwork/poetry, or just write about your day. Not only do I enjoy blogging, but I enjoy reading blogs as well. I spend alot of my time carousing member's blogs while I'm on Spymac. <div class="infobox">How did you choose your Spymac username?</div> My nickname is Kat (derived from Katherine) + Kitty + my year of birth= <a href="http://www.spymac.com/member.php?memberid=29527">ki ttykat84</a>. <div class="infobox">If you could buy one item from a source of unlimited funds, what would that item be?</div> The life of my grandpa back. My grandpa died not too recently, and I only wish he was here longer. The time we spent together was time spent too short. I want to tell him all the things I wish I could have told him before his passing, but I never could seem to find the words. I know it's impossible to buy someones life back, but I couldn't think of any material objects I wanted, so this is my answer. <div class="infobox">How did you get involved with the CultSpy Awards?</div> Being a big fan of the blogs here on Spymac, naturally I came across RicTresa's blog. After reading entry one, I became hooked. So one day as I was doing my routine check of all my favorite blogs, I stopped by RT's blog and noticed a wanted sign looking for a volunteer to help judge blogs and hand out awards. Not only did I see this as a great opportunity to increase the sense of community amongst Spymac, but I also wanted to be apart of a great cause started by my fellow friend. <div class="infobox">Do you have any pets?</div> Two: a brother named Jake and a Doberman named Cricket. <div class="infobox">Are you into any games?</div> Dance Dance Revolution. I'm quite obsessed with DDR actually; enough to buy the dance mat and play DDR in my prom dress. I can play some Maniac on the machine, but the majority of the time I play Standard. My favorite songs are Nori, Nori, Nori, Burnin' the Floor, and Era. <div class="infobox">Do you have any hobbies?</div> I have several hobbies including dancing, running, art, photography and Spymac. <div class="infobox">Have you made many friends through Spymac?</div> Although I dont have as many mutual friends as Iccy82, I do have quite a few friends though Spymac. For me it's not about the quantity, it's about the quality of the friendship. <div class="infobox">What is your favourite food?</div> Living in Texas where the Mexican culture is dominate, I would have to say Mexican food. Not only do I enjoy eating it, I enjoy cooking it as well. My specialty is flautas. <div class="infobox">Do you work or attend school?</div> I currently attend the University of Texas at San Antonio where I'm majoring in art education and minoring in art history. This summer to earn a few extra dollars for school, I worked as a lifeguard. <div class="infobox">What's the secret urge you get but refuse to act on?</div> To dance in public. Being a dancer for so long, the rhythm is my blood and sometimes I get the urge to let loose and dance my heart out. <div class="infobox">If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you choose?</div> Naples, Italy because my older brother, who is in the Navy, lives there. It's almost been three years since I've seen my brother last and I hate to say it, but I miss him.

Ambrosia, as she's known on the MUSH (Multi-User-Shared-Hallucination), pointed out the large GB email account, and, as I'm a devoted mac user, pointed out the 'mac' in the web address. <div class="infobox">Have you made many friends at Spymac?</div> I think so, if I haven't, then I'll convince myself that I have, as I like friends, I like to talk to them, help them, be the best friend I can to them. <div class="infobox">Do you have any hobbies?</div> I do, mainly in computing, because, well, I was raised with computers in my life, staring with the ZX81, through the Spectrum, and Amstrad PC2086D, then became a PC-mad fan, spending time learning all I could about all sorts of technologies. So, if I had to pick a single hobby, I guess I'd pick learning, learning all I can, while I can, for as long as I can, whatever I can. I'm a bookworm, you could say. <div class="infobox">Do you have any pets?</div> No, though I did once have a bunny when I was a tot, but, when it died because of a viscious dog, I never again took a pet, their lives are to short, and the loss of them, once attached, is too painful for me. That said, if a dog was facing adoption, or destruction, I would ALWAYS adopt the pooch, regardless of whether I had the space, in order to give it a good, happy life. <div class="infobox">Are you currently in school?</div> No, I work. <div class="infobox">If you could only have one, a cell phone or an iPod, which would you choose?</div> Tough choice, but, since my current cell phone does it all, practically, I guess I'd pick my cell phone, I can always dump MP3 onto it, even videos. <div class="infobox">Where is your ideal vacation destination?</div> The north pole. As I said, I crave knowledge. So, I would go to the north pole to learn the true effects of mankind's mark on the world in which we live, to see it for myself. <div class="infobox">What is your favourite food?</div> Being vegetarian, this is a hard choice, but I pick Bolognese. Made with something we brits know as 'Quorn' mince. Dunno if its the same name in other countries, but has to be made, not from a jar or packet. <div class="infobox">What is the one urge you often get but never act on?</div> In the spirit of the questionnaire, and the decency of PG-13 content, I abstain from answering this one, sorry. <div class="infobox">What kind of music are you into?</div> Ecclectic, I like nearly all music, with the near total exception of anything made this century, it's all synthetic garbage. My favourite artist is Thomas Dolby. <div class="infobox">How did you come up with your Spymac member name?</div> Simple, my name came about because of one deep dream I have, to be a real, honest to god, fairy. <div class="infobox">Do you belong to any other online communities?</div> Not in the same essence that Spymac is. I belong to a lot of online MU* (short for Multi-User *Anything). <div class="infobox">What is your favourite season?</div> Winter. Winter is beautiful, you get to see natures true beauty, the fractals of the trees, the crispness of the air, the facinating shapes of the clouds... <div class="infobox">How much time do you spend on Spymac each day?</div> When I first came here, quite a bit. Since getting my new job, not a lot, maybe a few hours a night? <div class="infobox">What is your favourite movie?</div> Bit of a coin-toss between Watership Down or Silent Running, I love Huey!

Microsoft's Million-Member March

Microsoft's Million-Member March 07/15/2004 11:58 AM
Microsoft Corp. today announced that more than 1 million people are now members of the worldwide Xbox Live  online video gaming service. With peak usage time for Xbox Live between 7:30 and 9 p.m., this thrill-seeking throng is showing that they prefer to play TV.

As evidence of online gameplay's mass appeal and growing importance in the digital entertainment landscape, Xbox Live reached the million-member mark three times faster than other subscriber-based entertainment services such as Home Box Office Inc., America Online Inc. and TiVo Inc.

Microsoft, which introduced the first broadly adapted online gaming service in November 2002 with the launch of Xbox Live, continues to expand the appeal and adoption of broadband. New Xbox Live feature introductions like video chat, content downloads, voice messages and alerts, coupled with highly anticipated games, have fueled rapid uptake and catapulted online gaming into mainstream entertainment. Much has happened since the service was unveiled:

• Players in 24 countries have spent more than 160 million hours (or 20,000 years) playing Xbox Live.
• Members are playing an average of 265,549 hours every day.
• More than 100 game titles from a host of top publishers including Electronic Arts Inc., Microsoft Game Studios, THQ and Ubisoft
• Entertainment are playable on Xbox Live, and the number is expected to rise to 150 by the end of the calendar year.
• Players have logged more than 220 million online sessions, an average of 10.5 million sessions per month.
• More than 200 pieces of downloadable content are currently available to expand and enhance already great games, including new levels, new characters, new multiplayer modes and updated sports rosters.
• The top 15 cities worldwide boasting the most Xbox Live members are Tokyo; London; Houston; Chicago; Toronto; San Diego; New York; Brooklyn, N.Y.; Los Angeles; Miami; Seattle; Calgary, Alberta, Canada; San Antonio; Las Vegas; and Seoul, Korea.

"Consumers are clearly choosing Xbox Live online video games as the new digital entertainment nirvana," said Microsoft Senior Vice President of the Home and Entertainment Division and Chief Xbox Officer Robbie Bach. "Our community has reached a million members in record time, and we've got hot new games and expanded features that will continue to feed our customer's almost insatiable appetite for online play."

This fall, Xbox Live membership promises to grow even more as several blockbuster franchises hit the service. Electronic Arts Inc.'s lineup of popular titles, including "Madden Football 2005," "NCAA Football 2005" and "FIFA Soccer 2005," will be Xbox Live-enabled, as will "Halo® 2,"Microsoft Game Studios' much-anticipated sequel to the best-selling Xbox title of all time.

Also this fall, Xbox Live members can enjoy a selection of quick and easy casual games via a new feature called Xbox Live Arcade. Classic card, puzzle, trivia, retro and action arcade games from publishers such as Atari Corp. and Namco Ltd. will be featured in the Arcade, giving gamers yet another innovative way to play together online.

Bose Suspension System

Bose Suspension System 12/24/2004 12:57 PM

That's right. Bose.

The latest trick coming from the 74 year old Dr. Amar Bose is an active suspension system; the Bose Suspension System. It's been in development since 1980, and so far they've only got it on a 1994 Lexus test mule, but rumor has it that Cadillac may offer the Bose system as an option on an upcoming car.

The proprietary Bose suspension system couples linear electromagnetic motors and power amplifiers with a set of unique control algorithms. For the first time, it is possible to have, in the same automobile, a much smoother ride than in any luxury sedan and less roll and pitch than in any sports car. The Bose research vehicle provides superior comfort by gliding smoothly over bumpy roads and superior control by keeping the car body level during aggressive maneuvers.

When you think about it, it's not that much of a stretch for an outfit like Bose to go from speakers to automobile suspensions. A speaker is essentially a linear motor that uses electromagnetism to move a speaker coil to produce sound waves; the suspension Dr. Bose has assembled uses four linear motors that basically use the same principle to keep the car on an even keel, no matter how the driver and road thrash the thing.

We've talked about the inherent problems of sophisticated electronic systems in vehicles before, and I don't think I'd want something like this in my car... At least not until the technology has matured for several years. Stories of Land Rover suspension systems failing at high speeds and causing deadly accidents is enough to make me want to stick with plain old shocks and struts.

The January print issue of Motor Trend has a brief article on it, but a more extensive writeup online, complete with a video of the test mule in action. In the grand finale, the Lexus actually jumps over a 2x6 on edge at 35mph!

Bose Personalized Amplification System

Bose Personalized Amplification System 02/11/2004 01:51 PM

Ever gone to a concert where it's so loud you think you're ears will start bleeding, and in spite of the volume level you can't understand the lyrics? Dr. Amar Bose and his namesake, Bose Corportation, are trying to change all that, and change the entire amplified performance paradigm with their new Personalized Amplification System (PAS.)

Bose's approach to solving this problem is pretty radical, and at the same time surprisingly simple. It involves nothing less than, as they put it, “changing the fundamental properties of loudspeakers,” and yet the idea, once it's explained, seems obvious.

The company's new product is called the Cylindrical Radiator Loudspeaker. Two dozen or so (we weren't allowed to peek inside the units) small drivers are arranged vertically in a flagpole-like structure about 3.5 inches in diameter and seven feet high, which is set into a floor stand. The arrangement of the drivers is designed to eliminate all vertical dispersion: The sound is projected forward and in a 180° arc horizontally, but there's nothing projecting above the top of the column and nothing bouncing off the floor.

The most obvious effect is that, in theory at least, the sound is transferred to the room much more efficiently than with a standard spherical-front speaker. In fact, we were invited to walk directly toward the speaker from across a large room while a guitarist played, and observed that the difference in sound level as we approached was remarkably small, even when we put our ears right up to the speaker. Therefore, musicians can play at lower levels and still fill a space. Vocals sent through the system can be loud enough to project, but the potential for feedback is greatly reduced.

(quoted from a MixOnline article)

The Cylindrical Radiator speaker is placed behind the performer on the stage, providing sound for both the performer and the audience. This is a total departure from the traditional amplified sound system, which requires separate amplifiers & speakers for the audience and the performers, a mixing console, miles of cabling, and a sound technician to make it all work, and even then it often works poorly. The PAS returns simplicity to the idea of amplified music performances, and makes for a much more natural sound coming from the stage, with the amplified sound from each performer coming from where that performer is on the stage. According to many posters on Bose's online forum, the system is also ideal for DJ's and playback of recorded music.

This is an answer to many prayers from frustrated performers and sound techs alike, tired of overly complicated systems for small to medium-sized rooms, not to mention concert-goers who feel the need to bring ear plugs along.

Look for the PAS to show up on stage at a nightclub or church near you.

Sound Quality For Its Size 12/30/2004 08:55 AM

At $300, the SoundDock is more expensive than competing systems. However, it's currently the best sounding of the all-in-one speaker systems we've tested, and its uncluttered elegance and ease of use make it an appealing offering for those willing to plunk down the change. By Dan Frakes, Macworld

JVC TH-SW5 Home Theater System with
Wireless Rears

JVC TH-SW5 Home Theater System with
Wireless Rears 08/03/2004 09:03 AM

JVC has a new set of home theater systems out in Japan that transmit sound to the read speakers wireless via radio; a radio that, unfortunately, broadcasts on the 2.4GHz spectrum -- the same frequency as Wi-Fi. The TH-SW5 otherwise looks like a solid system, but perhaps another model at 5GHz or 900MHz would be optimal. Or maybe -- stay with me -- user selectable frequency. There aren't plans to release it here, though, to my knowledge, but I'd hate to be the Japanese consumer who has to choose between their network and their speakers.

My dream wireless speakers receive audio and power through a fixed microwave beam. If you couldn't navigate through the matrix of flesh-searing invisible conduits, you wouldn't be worthy to watch the extended edition of Groundhog Day.

Bose SoundDock for iPod

Bose SoundDock for iPod 09/27/2004 09:04 AM

There is a certain poetry when Apple and Bose team up in offering the new SoundDock digital music system. It's basically yet another dock with a pair of speakers attached to it, something we're not in the least opposed to, but it does set one to wonder what happens when blowhards like Bose work with blowhards like Apple to "elevate your iPod listening to a whole new level."

Do both Reality Distortion Fields cancel each other out? Is it possible this $300 set of speakers is actually a good product? I'm not sure I'm man enough to find out.
