08/18/2004 10:39 AMThe Feature reports that at least one group of soldiers in Afghanistan
has set up a Wi-Fi network for sending email home: They use a
satellite, which they bought in India, for backhaul and Wi-Fi to
distribute the signal to their tents. It must be a pain to move the
satellite if these guys move camp often but then again this is the
most ideal setup for a mobile group of people....

This is the kind of thing I've been waiting for from Apple. They've
got a good community built up around iTunes, but they've done a poor
job of connecting and exposing it. I'll have to play around with this
to see what it really means, but it would be great if I could find
iTunes users with similar tastes in music and then subscribe to their
feeds.
On a side note, here's yet another reason for full RSS feeds. I
can't get to the More Like This site right now, which means I can't
read the rest of the post OR get to the link. Incredibly
frustrating.

05/18/2004 04:25 PMThe wider use of fingerprint scanning technology in recent years has
made it easier than ever for law enforcement officials to share
information about criminals and quickly compare a suspect's
fingerprint image with millions of similar imprints, according to a
January report from the U.S. General Accounting Office. But it can
still take small police departments that can't afford the electronic
equipment more than five months to mail batches of fingerprint cards
to state repositories, the report said.

Leap
Pad Learning Systems to women in Afghanistan. While LeapPad is
marketed here as en edutainment system for children, this version was
modified for adults who speak Dari and Pashto but aren't necessarily
able to read. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the systems
will be used to inform the women about healthcare issues like diet,
immunization, pregnancy, and disease prevention in, er, unique ways:
For example, said LeapFrog Chief Executive Officer Tom
Kalinske, reproduction is a culturally and religiously sensitive topic
in the country. The solution: a page of text and a page of pictures
with the analogy of growing carrots. Growing them too close together
produces skinny and not-well- formed carrots that do not look good to
eat, but if you space the carrots, they're plump and appetizing -- the
lesson being it's better to space children rather than having them in
rapid succession.

- Mustn't

"I can understand a place like a restaurant asking mobile
phone talkers to step outside, or a place like a gymnasium asking
mobile camera users to please not get strange, but a library
threatening to fine people if they use text messaging... that I don't
quite understand...?" [JD on
MX]
- Su
rf City Libraries Gets Tough on Mobiles
"The new regulation,
which comes into force from 15 September, means that if a phone rings,
or if anyone is caught talking or texting, then they will face a stern
warning. After the first ticking-off, though, library vistors can
expect to receive fines of $250, $500 and $1,000 for repeated
offences." [The Register
-- in the U.K.!!!]
- Use a
Cell Phone in a Library, Pay $1,000
"City leaders of Huntington
Beach California adopted an ordinance, which takes effect September
15, that bans all cell phone use in libraries, including talking, text
messaging and ringing tones of any kind, reports The Associated Press." [textually.org]
And those links are just for starters (just wait until it hits Slashdot!). I feel bad for the
Library because this seems to be mandated by the City (was it
requested?), but can you imagine what teenagers must think of them for
this? How many young librarians do you think will read that story and
still want to work there?
I'm the first person to be annoyed by people talking on cell phones
and the ringers, but there are far better compromises than this. After
all, the press from the first $1,000 fine is not going to go well, and
either it will be dismissed (removing the bite from the bark) or the
Library will come out smelling quite badly. It would be far smarter to
have a designated area for cell phone use, and it's ridiculous to ban
text messaging as long as alerts are silent.
Instead, the Library is becoming the butt of jokes online. Do you
think they know what's going on their permanent record?
