The Outside Reading section there to your right has been updated to use the latest version of my RSS parser. It seems to be working fine, let me know if you notice any problems.

If things go well I should have time tomorrow after work to right some documentation for the new version, and then release it for download. Some features:

• Fully Object-Oriented
• Supports parsing of RSS files stored on the server.
• Lets you export all parsed results to an external file, so the parser doesn't have to get called everytime someone calls the page. You could have a cron job call the parser every X amount of minutes to reduce server load.
• Cleaning and easier outputting of parsed feeds.
• Designed with forward compatibility in mind (it will be easily adaptable to take advantage of PHP 5's OOP improvements).
• Retrieve results in either an associate array or as an object.
• Cleaner error checking. Also the error checking is much easier to adapt to your own logging scheme, such as to a database.

One Step Closer To Teleportation

One Step Closer To Teleportation 06/17/2004 05:16 AM
Nearly three years ago, we wrote about breakth roughs in atomic entanglement that could lead to advancements in quantum computing and teleportation. It seems that much of that research has continued as two separate groups of researchers have now used entanglement to successfu lly teleport the quantum state of an atom. As the article points out, the fact that two separate research groups came up with similar results (using slightly different methods) is particularly promising. It is amusing, though, to note that just about every article discussing atomic teleportation feels the need to explain that this is nothing like Star Trek style teleportation.

Don't forget you can also order these things from Amazon.com at a slight discount. Amazon doesn't show the robot as in stock yet but is taking pre-orders. And don't miss our previous article on Robosapiens which degenerated into a discussion of chiggers and Egyptian surveying techniques.

Closer Look at McCaw Moves

Closer Look at McCaw Moves 04/30/2004 07:18 PM
Steve Stroh has taken a close look at Craig McCaw's recent purchases in the broadband wireless space: McCaw bought Clearwire, a Texas company that controlled some ITFS spectrum--ideal spectrum for broadband wireless. But Stroh thinks that one of the most important aspects of what McCaw is doing includes the purchase of gear maker NextNet. NextNet was around during the last big interest in MMDS in the mid-1990s and McCaw has been an investor in the company. NextNet is part of the WiMax Forum and says it intends to build WiMax equipment, but Stroh thinks that McCaw is likely to use NextNet's proprietary gear to get a jump on the market. The first certified WiMax gear from almost every vendor will operate in licensed bands in international markets. One analyst recently told me that WiMax equipment designed to operate in the U.S. probably won't appear until late 2005 or possibly 2006. In the meantime, McCaw can use NextNet's gear and beat potential competitors to the market. Also, with McCaw in control of NextNet, he can make sure that the vendor is making the gear he wants. As Stroh notes: "McCaw learned from Nextel that if your service depends on the whims of your supplier, they can dictate things that can materially affect the service." McCaw could migrate to WiMax in the future in order to take advantage of potentially lower cost equipment. But Stroh notes that in many cases the proprietary gear may be better than the WiMax equipment. "WiMax is a compromise," he notes. Even if the customer equipment from Clearwire is more expensive than that of WiMax gear, McCaw will have a head start, Stroh says. The new Clearwire Web site in part leads Stroh to think that McCaw is close to officially introducing the new business. McCaw may be trying to keep quite about his plans in an effort to try to buy additional ITFS or other spectrum at good prices, Stroh says. Stroh says he dug up some other juicy information that's available to subscribers of his newsletter, Focus on Broadband Wireless Internet Access. [Editor's note: When we point to a paid editorial resource, we like to be clear whether or not we have a financial relationship with that resource. We do not. We merely know that Stroh knows his stuff.]...

You know, with just a little tweaking (like taking off their branding and making the cases something other than plastic), Pretec could be onto something with these jewelry versions of their i-Disk Tiny flash drives. Not the necklaces, so much—they look too much like dog tags—but the ear rings could work, if the other side was copper or something instead of pink plastic. Try it one more time, Pretec, or send us a bucketful of i-Disks and we'll hand them out to all the boutique jewelry makers in New York. (Thanks, James!)

Would Ansel Adams Have Gone Digital?

Would Ansel Adams Have Gone Digital? 12/12/2003 12:51 PM
Roland Piquepaille writes "After viewing photographs by Christopher Burkett, which are not digitally manipulated, Peter Lewis wondered what place have digital cameras and image manipulations in the art of photography. And a question hit his mind. If Ansel Adams, one of the most famous photographers of the 20th century, was still alive, wo uld have he gone digital? Lewis talked at great length with Richard LoPinto, vice president for SLR camera systems at Nikon Inc. to find an answer. And guess what? LoPinto thinks Ansel Adams would have loved digital cameras. The article also discusses digital camera resolution and the future for film camera sales. My blog contains more details and a small photograph by Christopher Burkett." By the way, I've been to an exhibit of Christopher Burkett photographs, and the versions on the web do not do justice to the work. They are positively stunning. The detail and the color are incredible. When I saw them, some people thought they were paintings, because the colors were so bright.
