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!

05/15/2004 01:12 PMWashington Post: The Bush Money Machine: Building War Chest With Few
Restraints. As Bush "Pioneers" who had raised at least $100,000
each for the president's reelection campaign, or "Rangers" who had
raised $200,000 each, the men and women who shot skeet with Cheney,
played golf with pros Ben Crenshaw and Fuzzy Zoeller and laughed at
the jokes of comedian Dennis Miller are the heart of the most
successful political money operation in the nation's history. Since
1998, Bush has raised a record $296.3 million in campaign funds,
giving him an overwhelming advantage in running against Vice President
Al Gore and now Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.). At least a third of the
total -- many sources believe more than half -- was raised by 631
people.
It's actually a tiny amount of money when
you consider the return on investment -- notably the hundreds of
billions in tax breaks for the wealthiest Americas while moving the
tax burden to those who actually work for a living, not to mention the
undermining of environmental and worker-safety programs.

04/10/2004 12:41 PMNY Times: Bush
Was Warned of Possible Attack in U.S., Official Says. The
disclosure appears to contradict the White House's repeated assertions
that the briefing the president received about the Qaeda threat was
"historical" in nature and that the White House had little reason to
suspect a Qaeda attack within American borders.
The
attacks were probably unpreventable, but it would be helpful if the
Bush administration would tell the truth about what it knew, and
when.

raeli spies tapped Clinton e-mail: This is a very old story (and a
reprint of a dead link at a British newspaper), but one that the spy
junkie in me just finds fascinating.
Apparently, in the late nineties, Israel had — get this
— a direct connection into the email of the President of the
United States. They could essentially read Clinton's emails (oh, wait
— he didn't send any...)
Sources in Israel say intelligence agents infiltrated Telrad, a
company that had been subcontracted by Nortel, America's largest
telecommunications conglomerate, to help develop a communications
system for the White House.
Company managers were said to have been unaware that virtually
undetectable chips installed during manufacture made it possible for
outside agents to tap into the flow of data from the White House.
Information being sent from the president to his senior staff in
the National Security Council and outside government departments could
be copied into a secret Israeli computer in Washington, the sources
said. It was transferred to Tel Aviv two or three times a week.
Does anyone know how this all ended up? The sheer brazeness of
something like this just kills me. I mean, that takes guts —
installing a hardware backdoor into the White House communications
system.
And talk about removing the sysadmins from the equation. If your
hardware vendor has installed a backdoor at the physical, hardware
level, what are you supposed to do? How can you defend against that?
Related to that, I'm curious as to how the data got out of the
network — it had to be transmitted somehow, and could it have
been detected leaving the network?

Lawsuits against White House

Lawsuits against White House

06/24/2004 02:51 PMThe Associated Press wonders why it had to resort to filing suits
against the Pentagon and Air Force in order to obtain President Bush's
military service records, especially since the White House says
they've already turned them over.
AP General Counsel Dave Tomlin, told E&P [Editor &
Publisher] the lawsuit is needed to get access to a portion of Bush's
record that may offer more information than the paper files previously
released. "The paper file may not be everything," he said. "It has
been there a long while, it could conceivably be tampered with."
Because the microfilm record has been in storage and "it can't be
altered, that access to the microfilm would settle the matter," Tomlin
added.
