and Reach and Hold That Pose, and Advance to the Next Level
"Ever greater weight loss - rather than a chance to battle bigger
monsters - is one goal for players of Yourself!Fitness, a video game
under development for Microsoft's Xbox. The new title, aimed at women,
features a computer-generated personal trainer who guides users
through a customized set of exercises and diets.
Players must reach certain goals to advance to the next level. The
program creates a fitness plan for each person based on height, weight
and other characteristics. The game's virtual coach, Maya, then guides
users through a subset of 600 possible exercises, congratulating and
encouraging them when they achieve their goals.
The creators of Yourself!Fitness at ResponDesign, a game developer
based in Portland, Ore., think their new title is a natural successor
to exercise videos and DVD's, which continue to sell more than 30
million units a year, the company's co-founder, Ted Spooner,
said....
After the game's release this fall, the company expects to make a
Sony Playstation version available at the end of the year, and to sell
an Xbox Live version in 2005 that will let participants use a wireless
headset to talk to each other during the game.
'Users will be able to create an online community to discuss each
other's accomplishments and chat while working out,' Mr. Spooner said.
'This will be a virtual gym.'
Company executives expect the game, which cost millions to develop,
to sell several hundred thousand units. Assuming that happens,
ResponDesign is ready to create spinoff titles focusing on Pilates and
Yoga." [New York
Times: Technology]
I'm surprised it's taken this long to happen, although I suppose
I'm most surprised that the company didn't start with the
Playstation for its EyeToy
accessory. Hey, you could be
right there in the video with Richard Simmons or Jane Fonda!

04/19/2005 11:05 AMDavid Pescovitz:
Canadian sculptor
Bill
Vazan, 71, is accused by Easter Island authorities of moving small
rocks from archaeologically-significant sites to construct land
artworks. The island's head of criminal investigations, Carlos Soto,
says that Vazan is not under arrest but must stay put while under
investigation. He could be penalized $520 or up to three years in
jail. From Reuters:
Soto said Vazan had volunteered to pay $1,000 for the damage. The
sculptor paid 20-year-old Genaro Gatica, an Easter Island resident,
$25 a day to help carry stones.
Vazan, in interviews with local media, said that Gatica was supposed
to help him identify sacred stones so he could avoid using
them.
"He went in front of me saying this rock yes, these others no. ... Now
it appears that two of the rocks I used had value, but it was never my
intention to cause harm," he told La Tercera newspaper.

TiVo, ReplayTV Make Their Devices Less
Useful
09/09/2004 02:40 PMTiVo and ReplayTV have both announced plans to
inco
rporate copy protection technology in their boxes that would let
content providers set content to "expire." The idea is to protect
movie makers who are afraid to release movies to PPV channels where
they could be recorded by users who then choose not to buy the DVD --
or at least that's the theory. However, as is pointed out in the
article, this is a "feature" that makes the device less useful to
people. They buy it in order to record stuff to watch it on
their schedule, not the broadcasters'. By limiting that, the
devices become less useful. Once again, instead of embracing what the
technology can do to get more people to watch their content, they're
taking a backwards step, making their content less useful. While TiVo
and Replay will claim they need to do this, that's not true. If
they're smart, others will come along, refusing to take away features
from customers.

Friends finale and NBC Tivo-b0rking --
TiVo Strikes Back
05/07/2004 10:49 AMFollowing up on yesterday's post about NBC's apparent attempts to b0rk
potential TiVoers of the Friends finale, BoingBoing reader Douglas
Clark says,
I am a loyal Tivo user and Tivo did send out a
message alert to users about the Friends episode. It was more along
the lines of "if you manually extend the time of a recording, you may
miss the beginning of the friends final episode." I find that Tivo is
pretty good about catching unusual start times and other wonky tricks
the networks play. The previous comment about HUT and ratings was
right on the money...
Link to previous BoingBoing post.
Tech maven Meg Hourihan
adds, "Even weirder is that I got a message on my Tivo warning me that
the finale of Friends would have abnormal times. The message warned
that if I wasn't just using the automatic "start on time" and "end on
time" settings (i.e. I manually set the start time as 8 PM) that I
might miss some. What makes things weirder and worse is that Tivo
still didn't record the whole show! I made sure my settings were what
the message instructed, and happened to watch the show live. Tivo
kicked in to record at 8:59 PM (which is what it listed the start time
as) but stopped at 9:59! According to the time on my digital cable
box, the program didn't end until 10:03 PM. So if I hadn't watched it
live, I would have missed the last four minutes. Seems like a major
screw-up on Tivo's part, especially after sending out that
message!"

Intel and Tivo Team Up on Tivo-to-Go
(But How?)
Intel and Tivo Team Up on Tivo-to-Go
(But How?)
06/06/2005 12:09 AMReuters is running a story about Intel that is chocked full of goo
info, including information that their 'Manitoba' mobile chipset has
finally found a customer in mmO2 Pic (the Manitoba came out two years
ago, to little fanfare, let alone actual adoption by phone
manufacturers). But the big news is that Intel will be working with
Tivo to provide Tivo-to-Go functionality in future laptop chipsets,
like their popular Centrino.
What that is, though, is unclear. Is it just a branding initiative?
Tivo-to-Go already works on laptops (that's half the point), so will
it be some sort of native support that makes it easier to move the
Tivo content around? We don't know—the article is very
vague—but at least Tivo is getting some name dropping love from
a mega-vendor (considering it was unlikely they were going to get much
help from Microsoft, considering they sell a competing product to
Windows XP Media Center). (Thanks, Pat!)

Tab to select menus in Mac browsers
06/05/2005 11:57 PM
I have repeatedly finding myself turning to the otherwise unused
Windows box on my desktop for filling in online forms. The primary
reason has been the Tab behaviour in Web forms: on Windows, you can
tab between text fields, menus, radio buttons, et al; on
Safari/Firefox on Mac, you skip the menus entirely and have to reach
for the mouse and click. And this contextual switch is costly.
Now apparently this is "fixed" by enabling System Preferences >
Keyboard & Mouse > Full keyboard access: "In windows and
dialogs, press Tab to move the keyboard focus between: "Text boxes and
lists only." Mea culpa.
I thought I'd clicked that long ago to no effect and a double-check
finds that I was right. Despite the label "...and lists," it's only
when you select "All controls" that tabbing to menus actually works in
web forms.
Mea culpa. Label culpa.
