1-Click, Short-Click, Long-Click,
More-Clicks - All Patented 04/27/2004 05:27 PM
theodp writes "Not to be outdone by Amazon's 1-Click patent, Microsoft snagged a patent from the USPTO Tuesday for a Time based hardware button for application launch, which covers causing different actions to occur depending upon whether a button is pressed for a short period of time, a long period of time, or multiple times within a short period of time. So does pressing car radio buttons for different periods of time to change or set stations constitute patent infringement?" What about double-clicking? Seems like a fair amount of prior art. I know my caller ID box requires a "double-click" to delete phone numbers. Also, I may not remember correctly, but I was under the impression that Apple's famous "one-button" mouse allows you to fake a right mouse click if you hold down the button.

Circuits: The Last Goodbye

Circuits: The Last Goodbye 03/24/2005 02:53 PM

I had intended to write some short note about the passing of the New York Times' Circuits section, now set to be dismantled and set to work throughout the paper like nerdy orphans. I was going to write about my sadness at its departure, so quickly after a crowed-about redesign, but before it had a chance to grow into the accessible but technical resource it had the potential to become.

Instead, here is a picture of David Pogue crawling through his backyard in a fur cap from an indeterminate animal source. If that was good enough for his last piece in the Circuits section, then it's good enough for my last mention of them. If you need a shoulder to cry on, Circuits writers, I'm here for you, hatless.

Circuits Discovers USB 06/10/2004 11:38 AM

Reading The Times' Circuits section invariably causes a single metallic tear to vent from my society-integration hardware, wetting my dome. Sometimes it's from the cognitive trauma of trying to parse whether or not they're even talking about technology anymore or just repurposing old articles from the Steamer Tramp Watch column or something, but sometimes -- rare, precious times -- I get misty as I watch them discover something for the first time, as a retarded child waking from a coma would marvel at a flower, or toilet paper, fawning over and cuddling and gleefully showing the new technology to us. This week's blissful bursting into awareness? Motherfucking USB. Awwww. (Thanks to the Circuits team's case worker, Jeff.)

How to unlock your phone

How to unlock your phone 05/24/2004 09:01 AM
On Popular Science, an article on getting your mobile phone unlocked. Here in London, there're shops that advertise phone unlocking on practically every block, but it's almost unheard-of in the USA:

While number portability may have freed your cell digits, your phone is still a ball and chain, locked into one carrier's service. These subsidy locks keep you from walking away before the provider can recover that big discount you got when you bought the phone.

But it doesn't have to be so. If you have a GSM phone, you can unlock it and switch to any GSM network carrier (the big three are AT&T, Cingular and T-Mobile). You can also take an unlocked phone overseas (most of the world uses GSM) and use it on a local network to avoid paying for international roaming, or even buy a European phone (they tend to be ahead of us in cell tech) and use it here. Have an old phone lying around? Unlock it and keep it as a spare.

I was recently overseas and had my GSM T-Mobile phone with me. I figured I would run out get a pre-paid sim card and have local cell service while in the country I was in. To my surprise I could not get the SIM card to work in the phone. I was a bit pissed. But to my surprise a friend of mine sent me a link to this article and now I have the unlock code to my cell phone and when I am overseas again I will get a local pre-paid SIM card and be in business.

Holy shit.

I can only imagine the scene at the New York Times a few days ago, as a team of Circuits section editors gathered around a table in a room lit by only a single lamp, shining down at the stupefying gadget known as... iPod.

Beads of sweat gathered on the brows and backfat of each one as they gazed unflinchingly at the white devil, unable to unlock its hermetic secrets; a group of men and women - elevated masters of the occult tradition of tech journalism - their minds broken and laid bare on the tiny aluminum altar that Apple had raised in their midst.

An intern slammed open the door, his silhouette framed by the light from the rest of the Gray Lady's offices, pushing a wave of nauseating synchronicity with the iPod's famous ad campaign into the room.

"Sirs, I've got dozens of great leads about technology being used during the upcoming Republican National..." He was silenced by an upturned palm from the Arch-Editor.

"You fool," gasped the AE, as he fell to one knee, black fluid running from his ears, "Have you not heard? This iPod can play music... at random."

Magic Ink Grows Metal Circuits

Magic Ink Grows Metal Circuits 07/06/2004 08:29 AM

UK Firm QinetiQ is using a new technique to grow circuits that, besides being relatively cheap, is also relatively friendly to the environment. In the process a flexible surface, like plastic, is printed with a special ink, then soaked in an electroless chemical solution, causing the metal to grow on the ink. While they won't be growing silicon microprocessors any time soon, QinetiQ plans to primarily focus on producing large batches of RFID tags, although other technologies, like Frequency Selective Surfaces, which can bounce some radio waves and let other through. The real question is, as usual, when can we use this process at home?
