Noise About Leaving Film Behind 06/15/2004 01:05 PM

You know, there's not even that much to say about these announcements anymore. Nikon announced that it intends to slowly withdraw from the film camera market as it scales up production of its hit prosumer D70 camera. There's some other minor earnings numbers in the story on Reuters, but that's the gist of it. Digital coming up. Film played out. As soon as I read the news, I immediately stopped reading and ate a carrot -- that's about the extent of my reaction to inevitability.

RIAA's noise-spoofs turned into
noise-rock 04/26/2004 10:07 AM
Claire Chanel, the person behind the Jay-Z Construction Set, has decided to net.judo-ify the RIAA's spoof tracks, random noise disguised as top-40 singles which it promulgates on the P2P netowrks.

As a follow-up to our last project, the Jay-Z Construction Set, Scary Sherman and I decided to take a fair & balanced route by highlighting one of the positive moves made recently by music industry leaders.

The RIAA-Mix Vol.1 is a compilation of the hottest underground remixes of top40 hit tracks produced by the upcoming talent at Overpeer. These homages to 20th century noise artists and avant composers pull a frightening bait and switch on listeners veering wildly from recognizable pop hooks to jarring digital distortion.

Available at riaamix.com as downloadable mp3s, streaming flash audio, or on a compact disc, we're hoping our compilation can help support the arrival of challenging new music to mainstream exposure.

Apple Makes Just $.04 Per Track

Apple Makes Just $.04 Per Track 09/24/2004 05:32 PM
UK newspaper, The Independent has uncovered data suggesting that Apple make as little as $0.04 per track sold. Apple operates iTunes in the US and Europe, which is the largest legal music download provider. The investigation concludes that because record companies are taking such a large percentage from online sales, many companies will go out of business within years due to lack of profits.

Copyright holders, most often the recording industries, take as much as 60% of the $.99 that Apple charge for each song on iTunes. Music Publishers take the rest, amount to about $.08 per song. The report highlights the fact that even though online publishing has virtually killed costs, record companies have almost doubled their take from each song sold.

Record companies need to wake up to the fact that high prices are going to cause even more problems in the long run. Legitimate downloads have helped stop the tide of music piracy, and to over-price the songs would be disastrous. They desperately need to start thinking long term about this issue. Although Apple has the iPod to help shore up revenues, others do not; market analysts predict that many of the music download start-ups coming to market in the next 12 months could be bankrupt within 5 years. Michael Robertson from MP3.com told the Independent that online music providers are so un-profitable that it's more of "a race where the winner gets shot in the head".

Apple Computer's PoweBook G4 professional line now includes AirPort Extreme (802.11g) and Bluetooth 1.2 as standard features: Before this announcement, PowerBook buyers of most models had to decide whether to add a $100 AirPort Extreme adapter or a $50 Bluetooth option. The Bluetooth adapter had to be ordered at the time of purchase while the AirPort Extreme Card could be installed later. By including these wireless options even in the entry-level $1,600 12-inch PowerBook G4 model, Apple is competing more directly and simply against the Centrino concept. From now on, Apple hopes that buyers think PowerBook and wireless the way that Intel has branded Centrino and Wi-Fi....

The Republican propaganda mill, a brief history It's bigger than Bush vs. Kerry. It's about billionaire funded thinktanks (AEI, Heritage) paying columnists to sit around and make stuff up or legitimize crackpot theories (blacks are genetically stupid, japanese internment was okay). Furthermore its about radio, internet, blogs, tv news and publishing houses working in concert to pummel memes onto the American public. When this stuff infects your culture and is no longer the domain of the loons but now as mainstream as apple pie and Wal-Mart, what do you do?

Noise Control

Noise Control 06/22/2005 02:59 AM

Incidents like the one Dan Gillmor points to reminds me that I need to put more thought into noise control. Let see...

One idea is cookie sharing combined with cookie persistence. Cookie persistence works by allow people to download and save their cookies so they can restore valuable cookies after cookie wipeout or if they change machines. Cookie sharing is one cookie holder giving part of the rating they earned to another. It's like giving some of your voice to another person whose opinions you agree with or appreciate.

A lot of room for creativity in this area.

Update:

Flip-side of the Cookie sharing is mutual destruction which requires giving up part of your rating to degrade another person's rating. I am still clueless as to whether such small set of rules will lead to a stable world instead of something that will blow up. Still, I enjoy working with combining simple rules to build complex systems, probably because of my physics background.

Another thought I had was that, for systems like Wikipedia, unbiased views are sometimes either not possible or premature. In such cases, I think the right thing to od is to record multiple biased/opposing views to capture the conflict in its raw form instead.

Robots that Hear Through Noise

Robots that Hear Through Noise 06/24/2005 09:05 PM
Roland Piquepaille writes, "The Japanese Humanoid Robotics Project has produced the HRP-2 robot, which is known for dancing and preserving Japanese culture. But now, the HRP-2, which is about 1.6 meter high and weighs about 60 kilograms, can hear humans and understand them with its sophisticated software and hearing equipment. It uses an array of microphones consisting of eight omnidirectional microphones mounted around the robot's head. Stable speech recognition is obtained by combining information from the microphone array and a camera also mounted on its head, and by isolating and eliminating noises, even from your TV. These hearing capabilities are essential "for helping humans to communicate with robots in real environments by 2025." For more details and photos see Roland's blog. Also, see our previous story on the HRP-2 robot's dancing abilities.

Nintendo DS Leaks UHF Noise

Nintendo DS Leaks UHF Noise 12/22/2004 01:36 AM

Nintendo's new DS handheld gaming system (which I've been told is pretty much out of stock everywhere, although Nintendo is supposed to drop another shipment on the 22nd) apparently dumps out video noise that can be picked up by some older, presumably unshielded televisions. That probably wouldn't necessitate an entire post, but Jim Younkin busted out his old Sony Watchman to test it, which is one of my favorite gadgets ever (I had a later model that I would often impress nerdy girls with on field trips for the 10 to 15 minutes that the batteries would last).
