Nothing was stirring, not even these mice
Filed under: Desktops, Hardware, Peripherals, Odds and ends, Apple
Wired’s Gadget Lab points to this great Flickr gallery by raneko of Apple mice throughout the years, from the blocky one-button behemoths of years past up to the smooth and slick Mighty and Magic mice of today. Laid all in a row like that, it’s interesting to see just how much care went into the look of these things, and how the different iterations, across years of work, built upon the basic idea. Wired says that Apple mice have never been its strong point, and they’re pretty right about that — even the current mouse, while beautiful and well-designed, doesn’t have the functionality or ergonomic design that you’ll find in most other brands of mice.But nevertheless, these still look great, and for the Apple fan, they’ll probably bring back a flood of memories all the way back to the Macintosh. Great gallery.

FCC unsatisfied and troubled by Verizon Wireless’ response regarding its ETF and $1.99 phantom data fee
In a scathing one page response, FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn cut Verizon Wireless to its knees by saying the answers the wireless carrier provided in response to the FCC’s investigation were “unsatisfying and, in some cases, troubling.” The commissioner chided Verizon for the fluctuating rationale behind its early termination fee, which has been expanded to include not only the cost of the device itself but operating and retail costs as well. She pointed out that high voice and data costs already subsidize these business costs and the fees levied, especially those at the end of a contract, are not in the public’s best interest. Clyburn further condemned Verizon by stating that she was “alarmed” by these $1.99 phantom data fees and that Verizon can not just bury its head in the sand and ignore this issue by saying it does not exist. The letter concludes with a stern reprimand reminding Verizon Wireless that they should be “focusing primarily on developing innovative products, maintaining affordable prices, and providing excellent customer service”. Hear that Big Red? Clyburn also promises to discuss this issue in greater depth with her colleagues next year. That water in which Verizon Wireless is standing just got a little bit hotter.

Datel claims new Action Replay works on PSP Go, we hope cautiously
Now this is interesting. Datel, which is well known for enabling all sorts of hacks on varying consoles, seems to have just introduced a refreshed version of its Action Replay PSP. What’s new, you ask? Why, PSP Go support, of course! In the item description, we’re told that those using this on Sony’s UMD-less portable console will have to install it directly on the inbuilt memory, but one of two things has to happen (in theory, anyway) for that claim to be true. The first is that Datel is now an official Sony partner, which is about as likely as you getting a Foleo for Christmas. The other is that Datel found a way to run unencrypted code on the PSP Go, and if that’s the case, we’ve got an idea that the homebrew junkies in the crowd will be all over this in search of further exploits. Hop on past the break for a promo video, and if you’re down with shelling out funds for something that may or may not work as advertised, it’s all yours for $24.99.[Thanks, Bill]

When Google Attacks: Toktumi’s Tale
Toktumi's original product
It’s a nightmare that startups and big businesses alike fear — Google suddenly getting into their market and sucking away users and profits. With hundreds of product launches, it’s a legitimate concern, but it doesn’t have to be the end. For San Francisco-based Toktumi, its trial-by-Google began earlier this summer about a year and half after the startup debuted with the wrong product which it then revamped, only to later have it come head-to-head with the search giant.
Toktumi launched a business-based softphone at DEMO 2008 in January. CEO Peter Sisson said he quickly realized the company had launched with an unsuitable product when it signed up few users and those people immediately began to complain.
“We got it wrong and launched a softphone-based service that was like Skype with business calling features built into it,” Sisson said. “We had no traction and maybe 100 customers. So we asked them what they wanted.”
It turns out they wanted mobility, rather than a phone that tied them to a computer (see device pictured above). Toktumi listened, and began to provide a web-based client and hosted telephone system that reaches users on their PC, mobile or desk for $14.95 a month. It’s a similar enough service to Google Voice that when the search giant released its telephone product in July, Sisson told his board that he expected the company would lose 25 percent of its customers. Instead the company’s paid subscribers grew 56 percent each of the three months following the Google Voice launch.
Sisson managed some of this by using Google’s own services to help expand his business. Reasoning that potential Google Voice customers would search for the term on Google, he bought a Toktumi ad against Google Voice searches. He said the whole experience actually helped Toktumi because it educated consumers and businesses about the benefits of a hosted PBX. It doesn’t hurt that Toktumi lets users bring in their existing telephone numbers, rather than assigning them one.
Sisson would not give me actual sales or consumer figures, but the company is still tiny with between 5,000 and 10,000 customers. And in the coming weeks, Sisson plans to take his customers’ focus on mobility a step further by offering an iPhone app called Line2 that will allow them to make and receive VoIP calls on the Wi-Fi network. However, unlike other VoIP offerings, Toktumi’s Line2 service will still work over the cell network for placing and receiving calls when Wi-Fi isn’t available.
Sisson, the co-founder of VoIP startup Teleo which Microsoft bought in 2005, recognizes that the future of the phone is its ability to offer voice wherever a person is — and on the network of his or her choice. If it can survive launching the wrong product and Google’s entry into its market, he might be a player in telecom’s IP future.

Blackberry Turns Crashberry Yet Again
With BlackBerry users still fuming over the near-total collapse of e-mail just prior to Christmas, the impact on manufacturer Research In Motion could last a lot longer than a New Year’s Day hangover. Users got an early piece of coal in their stockings Tuesday when many BlackBerry smartphones — now deemed “Crashberries” by some wags — stopped sending and receiving e-mails.
BoxTone, a mobility management software provider, said the outage started between 3 and 4 p.m. Tuesday and reached a critical state by 7 p.m. “At each of our customers, BoxTone detected a greater-than-normal quantity of users with messages pending, based on our learned baseline of what is normal for each server and carrier, and immediately generated a warning alert to our customers before the flood of user calls,” the company said.
On Wednesday, RIM released a status update, explaining the outage and apologizing to users. The problem appeared to be a software glitch in new versions of BlackBerry Messenger. Users are advised to download the latest version, 5.0.0.57, which solves those problems.
Service Interruptus
“A service interruption occurred Tuesday that affected BlackBerry customers in the Americas,” RIM’s statement said. “Message delivery was delayed or intermittent during the service interruption. Phone service and SMS services on BlackBerry smartphones were unaffected. Root cause is currently under review, but based on preliminary analysis, it currently appears that the issue stemmed from a flaw in two recently released versions of BlackBerry Messenger (versions 5.0.0.55 and 5.0.0.56) that caused an unanticipated database issue within the BlackBerry infrastructure.”
BlackBerry users weren’t mollified by the announcement, judging from angry comments on the popular Crackberry blog. In a post entitled “WOW … just WOW,” one user wrote, “BBM causes a system-wide crash?!?! Glad RIM isn’t responsible for y’know, security or Wall Street or something.”
Indeed, a major outage on the eve of Christmas…

iSlate.com and the ‘impending Apple slate’
Filed under: Rumors
As we mentioned earlier, MacRumors reported that Apple apparently bought the islate.com domain name a few years back. This name isn’t so shocking when you remember the quote from New York Times executive editor Bill Keller at a meeting on October 26th about the future of digital content in the newspaper business: “I’m hoping we can get the newsroom more actively involved in the challenge of delivering our best journalism in the form of Times Reader, iPhone apps, WAP, or the impending Apple slate…”At the time, Apple had been busy meeting with the heads of newspapers and magazines all over the world. Would Steve drop the name to the heads of the publishing industry? I think so. At the very least this will get people to stop calling the Apple tablet the ‘iPad’.
Let me say this clearly: Apple would never name the tablet the ‘iPad’. It’s too similar to ‘iPod’. So, everyone, please stop calling it the iPad.
If you want to listen to an interesting talk about the future of digital publishing and distribution, check out the video of Keller’s speech below. If you want to jump to the ‘impending Apple slate’ mention, skip to 8:30.
IMHO, ‘iSlate’ is a great name, but I want to know what you would call it. Tell us in the comments!

FPSEce Playstation emulator for Windows Mobile reaches version 1.0 – now with full touch screen support
A new version of the Windows Mobile Playstation emulator, FPSEce, has been released. With the last version being 0.96, I suspect the developer made a small mistake when he named it version 0.10, but that seems to be about the only bug in this great release.
The new version features:
• Completely rewritten core and interface!
• Faster!
• Supports many new games
• Supports g-sensor on Toshiba TG01, more to come
• Touch screen analogue stick emulation
• New on-screen multi-touch button-assignment
• Supports some Bluetooth-gamepads (i.e. BGP 100)
• And more…The software is freeware, but the developer has released a special version to cover his costs, which includes the ability to save the state of the game at any point, which will be useful for popping into and out of a game. That version costs $5.

Confirmed: Men Are Better at Parking, Study Shows
If it wasn’t a female scientist to prove this, we might still have had some second thoughts when coming to such a disputed subject. However, recent studies conducted under Dr. Claudia Wolf’s supervision confirmed that men are better at parking than women.The research team at Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany, asked the volunteers too repeatedly park a saloon car, and this was how they found out that women didn’t benefit from the extra 20 seconds they took to complete the maneuve… (read more)

Next Year’s Christmas Tree Plan!
- Take one sturdy roof.
- Grab some seedlings.
- Plant.
- Wait for Christmas.
- Maybe even string up lights if you’re so inclined.
Obviously I’m kidding. Although, no one can argue that this tree isn’t eco-friendly. No cutting, no discarding, yay. Really though I saw this picture and had to share because it’s so interesting.
Wishing all of you a safe and happy Christmas day and plenty of gardening success in the new year!

A Million Shades of Gray by Cynthia Kadohata
Cynthia Kadohata, who won the top children’s book honor, the Newbery Medal, in 2005 for her debut middle-grade title, Kira-Kira, returns with a heartbreaking story about a young Vietnamese boy and his special relationship with the elephant in his charge.High in the central highlands of war-torn Vietnam, Y’Tin Eban wants nothing more in life than to train elephants. He has a special gift with the gentle giants, but is most attached to Lady who provides him with his greatest joys. Y’Tin’s family is part of the peaceful indigenous tribe, the Dega, but even they cannot escape the tragedies of civil war.
Y’Tin’s father works with the American Special Forces, hoping to keep their village safe from the North Vietnamese Army. But war is unpredictable, and when the Americans abandon the country in 1975, the village is attacked and the survivors forced to flee. Y’Tin is initially captured by marauding North Vietnamese soldiers who are no more than boys themselves, but somehow manages to escape. He is forced to confront his father’s involvement with the Americans, and his life-long friendships that seem to be falling apart. He must look deep into his heart and decide what is best for his Lady, who is about to bring a new life into the world.
As his life changes so rapidly, young Y’Tin must face “a million shades of grey” between loyalty and betrayal, right and wrong, and even life and death. Kadohata – whose young son is originally from Vietnam – writes a stirring, memorable story about the unconditional love between a boy and his (larger-than-life) pet, and the tragic destruction of innocent lives during times of inexplicable war. Her informative ”Author’s Note” at title’s end offers historical context about the indigenous tribes of the Vietnamese highlands, and the subsequent immigration of some of those refugees to the U.S., many settling in North Carolina.
By the way, pull out a hankie or two … you’re going to need it.

FAQ: How to install manual pages in Solaris?
In order to use install man pages for various commands in Solaris it is necessary to get two packages: SUNWman and SUNWdoc. You can check if they are already installed using commands ‘pkginfo SUNWdoc'and'pkginfo SUNWman', or just try ‘man man‘. If they are not present in your system you can install them from Solaris 10 cd-rom (I guess you’re using exactly this version of Sun’ operating system):1. Mount cd-rom:
mount -F hsfs /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s2 /mnt/where c0t1d0s2 is identifier of your cd-rom and may differ from system to system.

Lecture: TT33 Padiamenope ala Petamenophis
Luxor News Blog (Jane Akshar)
Jane kindly took some notes for her readers as usual, but the lecture was in French so most of her notes were taken from the occasional slide with English captions. Here’s an extract:TT33 Padiamenope ala Petamenophis – Pr Claude Traunecker.Sadly this lecture was in French so my notes are from the occasional English slide title
The tomb is situated in the Assasif next to Pabasa. It is the largest tomb in Egypt. In 1737 Richard Pocoke thought it was the subterranean palace of a king. It is described in Description de la Egypt and comprises a succession of rooms with an underground burial area. The opening of the tomb was mentioned in a novel by Paul Ivory
In 1881 W Johannes Dumuchen from the University of Strasbourg commented about the architecture, it is a very atypical layout and mentioned his family mother NamenKhetuset and wife Tudit
The tomb was used as storage for many years and many rooms were inaccessible. The tomb was reopened 5th December 2005. Here he showed a photo of the reopening and yours truly was in shot!! I wrote some notes at that time which you may wish to look at the end.
