04/27/2004 05:27 PMtheodp 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.

Chop Shop In 3D
Chop Shop In 3D
07/06/2004 01:55 AMVirtual Cycles’ 3D Chop Shop, software designed to allow you to
build a virtual bike straight from your imagination. For a measly
$49.95, you can create and customize the bike from depths of your
mother’s worst nightmare! The downside is that it does not
appear to be shareware, and information on it is quite limited.
3D Chop Shop
3D Chop Shop
07/05/2004 12:43 PMSo I'm Googleing around looking for info on building a bike rack
for my garage to keep my kids from making a parked bicycle maze, and I
stumble upon this: 3D Chop Shop.
Virtual Cycles' 3D Chop Shop is interactive software that allows you
to build and customize your dream motorcycle. In complete and
realistic 3D, Chop Shop gives you the power to change parts,
accessories, and paint colors right on your PC.
Whether you are searching for that perfect part or paint job and
need a tool for visualizing your creation...or you simply want to be
creative and design cool bikes you can print and share with others, 3d
Chop Shop is perfect for you.
The rendered motorcycle drawings produced by 3DCS look pretty
realistic, but I couldn't find any 3D renderings on their site.
So far only a PC version is available, but they are working on a
Mac port of it. $49.95.
The funny thing is that my oldest son and I were talking just
yesterday about how fun it would be to have something like this to
customize cars (he and his buddy watched 2 Fast 2 Furious the
night before.) He goes nuts over the tricked out rice burners, but at
14 there's no way he's going to even touch a real car until his
hormones slow down. Like maybe 20 or 25. Doing something in software
though might be a good outlet for him!

eMachine Shop
08/27/2004 01:33 PMDesigning something in two dimensions and printing it out has
always been a fairly easy task, and recently getting something
"imaged" in three dimensions has become reality. But only if you don't
care how durable that something ends up being.
Now there is a better alternative; eMachine Shop will do it for
you. Download and use their free software to draw your design (or
import a dxf file from a CAD drawing), it will tell you if your doodad
can be made or not, then it will give you a cost estimate for the
work. You then send your drawing to eMachine Shop, and they will build
it and ship it out to you.
They do injection molding, milling, turning, laser cutting,
waterjet cutting, wire EDM, tapping, bending, blanking, punching,
plastic extrusion, and thermoforming. Turnaround time is generally
about 30 days; considering the fact that it's one-off work, that's not
unreasonable. The cost is pretty reasonable too. An article on cnews listed 10 brass doorknobs custom milled
for about $150. That includings labor.

Shop Offline, Buy Online
Shop Offline, Buy Online
12/08/2003 03:34 PMIt looks like the rest of the world is catching up with me. For
years, now, my method for buying new books is to go into a bookstore
and browse randomly until I found something interesting. I'd flip
through the book a little and if it looked good, I'd jot down the name
of the book. Later on, I'd look the book up online and see what sort
of reviews it received, and then decide whether or not to buy it
online. I did the same thing with the last car I bought - test
driving at various dealers before making the final purchase online.
For years, this was backwards of what most people did. They would
research items online first, and then go buy at a shop. However, it
appears that I'm not so much of an oddity any more. The latest study
shows that many more people are
resea
rching in stores, but then going to the web to buy. I wonder if
there will be a backlash against such in-store browsing. I recently
heard about a shoe store that is telling people if they try on a shoe
but don't buy it, the store will charge a $30 fee. They did this
because people kept coming in and trying on shoes until they found
ones that fit, and then went online to buy them instead. This seems a
bit draconian, and unlikely to win many fans (or shoppers!), but it
does suggest some of the tactics that brick-and-mortar shops may
eventually adopt.

Having The Coffee Shop As Your Office
Having The Coffee Shop As Your Office
12/16/2003 04:13 PMWhenever the discussion comes up about coffee shops and restaurants
offering free wireless connectivity, someone always says that it's a
terrible idea because those people will crowd up the tables and never
leave after buying a single cup of coffee. This seems to be a
simplistic view of things, and some coffee shops that offer wireless
have found that having people who come in and use the place
all
day as their office has been quite beneficial. The Dallas Morning
News has a profile of one coffee shop that
seems to host a large number of "regulars" who use it as
their office. They tend to buy a lot of product, bring in more
customers (for meetings and such), as well as be generally helpful.
In the article, one guy who works every day at the coffee shop as a
freelance graphic designer helped the shop design their new menus for
free. As for the big fear of them hogging up the tables? It's no fun
to be working when the place is overcrowded anyway, so most of them
have no problem moving on at points when it's really crowded.
Instead, they tend to spend the most time there at off-peak hours,
when there's plenty of free space.

using this software you can run a number of Windows programs in

Support was added for the following applications:
EndNote 8, Quicken 2005, and iTunes 4.7. The
viewing of "shared desktops" in Netmeeting was
fixed. The importation of databases into Excel was
fixed. The saving of attachments in Lotus Notes
was fixed. Associations on systems that don't have

iRobot yesterday announced
some new versions of our Roomba line of robotic vacuums. Cool new
features include a recharging docking station and a dirt sensor, in
addition to many changes to make it a more solid product. For more
details see the iRobot
press release. According to their website, the new version also
includes a bigger dust bin that
holds three times as much as the old Roomba. I've also heard that
Roomba hackers may find
some interesting new changes inside too. But can it still be used to
deliver beer?

"For higher level control, we've attached a Virgin
Webplayer. The Webplayer was sold as a loss leader for Virgin's
internet service in the late 90s, and thus can be found on ebay for
under $100. It has two serial ports, a 200MHz Geode processor, 64M
ram, and a miniPCI port. Thus, we can give it an 802.11b card, a
webcam, and a usb-serial adapter."

includes some much-needed improvements, like a self-charging Home Base
which the Roomba will head to, automatically, when done cleaning
(finally!), an "intense cleaning" feature (presumably detecting areas
that need multiple passes, and a dust bin that's 3 times larger.
Sounds like an all-around improvement, so good on them. The Discovery
is currently being sold on the iRobot Store site for $250.

Vorwerk and Infineon are furthering the process of making Americans

Roomba, has shown the inefficiency of being able to cover all parts of
the carpet. These foreigners are developing a robotic vacuum that

RFID transmission information to decipher whether or not it has

Ever wonder why the

Roomba is, as robots are judged, pretty dumb. One of I4U's readers
with a degree in human computer interaction and artificial
intelligence wrote a nice piece about some of the major differences
between the two robot vacuums, which he compares to the difference
between a "Trabant versus a Rolls." Unfortunately, without one of them
fancy AI degrees, the Roomba is the one I can afford.

if welcome, upgrade, so the additional news that iRobot will be
encouraging tinkerers to hack in additional features into this model
is great. A Roomba with a camera is cool, but I think it's time
somebody figured out how to make a Roomba that's smart enough to not
eat cords.
