TECHNOLOGY NEWS:
70 PLAYSTATION 2s + 1 NETWORK SWITCH + LINUX = 1 SUPERCOMPUTER. An increasing trend in computing is the development of ever-faster computers for the consumer market: Dan Reed of the National Center for Supercomputer Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois says, "If you look at the economics of game platforms and the power of computing on toys, this is a long-term market trend and computing trend. The economics are just amazing. This is going to drive the next big wave in high-performance computing." The NCSA has used the Linux operating system and a Hewlett-Packard network switch to tie together 70 individual game machines into a single supercomputing system capable of a half-trillion operations a second. Total cost: about $50,000. Most difficult part of the project: "It took a lot of time because you have to cut all of these things out of the plastic packaging," said NCSA senior research scientist Craig Steffen.

SONY CROSSES OVER. Sony is offering a "crossover" PlayStation 2 video game console with a built-in DVD recorder and hard drive for storing data. Called the PSX, it will go on sale in Japan this year (and in the U.S. and Europe early next year). A Sony executive explained: "We want an extreme product to represent a new platform out of Sony." Industry analyst Richard Doherty of the Envisioneering Group says the new PSX platform "will not pay off immediately. But it's a very good direction. A lot of consumers in all geographies of the world are tired of having two or three things attached to their TV."

APPLE IS THE NEW MTV. Numair Faraz, who has started several online service companies, says of thecurrent music scene: "Apple is the new MTV. It is the new funnel for music.When things moved from radio to video, MTV was the sole source of music. NowApple is going to control the distribution and promotion of music. The entire ecosystem they are using is theirs." (New York Times 29 May 2003) http://partners.nytimes.com/2003/05/29/arts/music/29POPL.html Source:NewsScanDaily
V-GAMES HELP CULTIVATE HORSE SENSE, A COOL HEAD & A KEEN EYE. Researchers at the University of Rochester have concluded that young people who regularly play action video games with car chases and gun battles develop better visual skills than those who do not. The study did not address the question of whether video violence affects personality or psychology, but instead focused strictly on how a person's ability to process visual information developed by playing the games. [We borrowed our title for this item from "Trouble, Ya Got Trouble, Right Here in River City," a song in "The Music Man" -- a show that can't be seen too many times.] (San Jose Mercury News 28 May 2003) http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/5961917.htm Source:NewsScanDaily
THE NEXT BIG THING IN SEARCH ENGINES.Search engines have been undergoing incremental improvements for years, but they still look and function pretty much the same as when they came out. However, that could change soon, with a raft of new search products on the horizon. Researchers at NEC have developed the Review Seer -- a tool that enables consumers to automatically sift through product reviews culled from newsgroup and Web site postings. Users could personalize the Review Seer's results by specifying what features and price ranges they're interested in. Ben Shneiderman, a professor of computer science at the University of Maryland, says that most people are better at communicating with their computers when they can see data, rather than reading it. His TimeSearcher tool turns search result data into a graphic representation, enabling users to modify the graphed results by specifying a "date created," for example. Shneiderman's PhotoMesa and PhotoFinder are a browser and a search tool geared toward finding digital images. Eventually, search engines will be able to interact with cookies left on the users' computers to "learn" from past searches what the user most likely is looking for. The cookies could tell a search engine to return only new information or only results targeted to the user's location. (Wired.com 27 May 2003)

BROWSER WAR ENDS IN TRUCE. After years of mutual animosity and legal wrangling, Microsoft has agreed topay AOL Time Warner $750 million in a settlement that lays a foundation for further cooperation between the two companies. As part of the agreement, AOLwill receive a seven-year royalty-free license of Microsoft's InternetExplorer browser, as well as a long-term nonexclusive license to useMicrosoft's Windows Media 9 software. The companies will also work toward making AOL and MSN Messenger interoperable, and will explore ways to boost the adoption and distribution of digital media. Finally, Microsoft will distribute AOL CD-ROMs to PC manufacturers along with Windows operating software and will expand its support contract with AOL. The settlement is being described by both companies as a win-win -- it enables AOL to reduce some of its $23 billion debt burden and relieves Microsoft of one of its nagging legal problems. "Microsoft has been very pragmatic in putting its antitrust issues behind it," says one antitrust attorney. "What will be interesting to see is if they settle with Sun. That's a bit more of a grudge match." (CNet News.com 29 May 2003) http://news.com.com/2-1011296.html?tag=nl Source:NewsScanDaily
TECHNOLOGY, TRUTH, AND PRIVACY.Various ongoing scientific projects are working to find replacements for the still-controversial polygraph test as a way of deciding whether someone is lying or telling the truth. One of those projects: a University of Pennsylvania biophysicist is testing a headband that uses near-infrared light emitters and detectors to monitor blood-flow changes in the brain. Another: a psychologist is using MRI technology to scan the brains of volunteers told to give false answers to questions they are asked. See www.nap.edu/books/0309084369/html for a report by the National Academy of Sciences on lie detectors. The new approaches are being met with the same kind of criticism aimed at polygraph tests, plus a new twist. University of Maryland physicist Robert Park, a long-time critic of polygraphs, says: "There's only one thing worse than a lie detector that doesn't work, and that's a lie detector that does work. It's the last invasion of privacy that you can imagine, and it frightens me that we seem to be almost able to do it." (AP/USA Today 23 May 2003) Source:NewsScanDaily

TINY DEVICES OFFER LAW ENFORCEMENT CHALLENGE. Portable storage drives continue to gain popularity among child pornography collectors. The typical drive is as small as a cigarette lighter yet holds128 megabytes of data and costs only $100 or less; it device plugs directly into most PCs, and can store entire movies or hundreds of digital photos. Sgt. Art Martinez of the San Mateo County Sheriff's Department in California explains that the devices offer a completely new challenge to law enforcement officers: "A lot of officers will look at them and don't know what they are. It's just another thing that we need to be looking for." (San Jose Mercury News 29 May 2003) Source:NewsScanDaily

SPAM'S CURE COULD BE WORSE THAN THE DISEASE.CNet columnist Declan McCullagh worries that the proliferation of spam-blocking software incorporating challenge-response technology could lead to the death of e-mail. Challenge-response systems require the human sending a message to perform a simple task such as clicking on a link or typing a special password to get past the barrier. The problem is, says McCullagh, that many challenge-response systems are poorly designed, and could causes big headaches for administrators of legitimate e-mail newsletters (such as NewsScan Daily) that go out to large numbers of people. "Big corporations may be able to afford to hire someone to sit in front of a computer and spend all day proving they're not a spam bot, but nonprofit groups, individuals and smaller companies probably can't," says McCullagh. Earthlink has already announced its intentions to make a challenge-response system available to subscribers by the end of May, and other ISPs may follow suit -- a scenario that has veteran list operators concerned. Dave Farber, a computer scientist at the University of Pennsylvania who runs the "interesting people" list, says: "If I start getting a flood of challenges from Earthlink IPers that require my response I will most likely declare them spam and you will stop receiving IP mail. I fully expect this to be the case for almost all the legitimate mailing lists you are on and count on." Meanwhile, editors at the popular Macintosh newsletter TidBits, have told readers: "Be warned that we will not answer any challenges generated in response to our mailing list postings. Thus, if you're using a challenge-response system and not receiving TidBits, you'll need to figure that out on your own."

MAKER OF PHONY POP-UP ADS SETTLES LAWSUIT. Bonzi Software is settling a lawsuit that accused it of tricking computer users with deceptive Internet pop-up banners made to look like error messages. The messages, which guided people into looking at a Bonzi commercial, had phony warnings such as "Your computer is currently broadcasting an Internet IP address. With this address, someone can immediately begin attacking your computer." Bonzi has agreed to place the word "advertisement" in their advertising banners and discontinue using fake user interfaces.

CYBERSPACE HELPS HOME SCHOOLING FLOURISH.Internet high school? The nonprofit Christa McAuliffe Academy in Yakima, Washington, has 15 certified teachers guiding 400 students. The students typically take two courses at a time for 50 weeks a year. Students work at their own pace, and each student is assigned a teacher-mentor. Ian Blomgren, the academy's founder, says of his former experience teaching in a traditional school: "I thought there had to be a better way of teaching individual students. We were doing a good job with the lower students and a good job with gifted students, but the vast majority were just sliding through the cracks." The only problem seems to be a social one. One new graduate, who completed his studies by age 15 and is now entering Millersville University, says: "I'm getting tired of being home all the time. I'm looking forward to being in a classroom again at Millersville." (AP/USA Today 30 May 2003) Source:NewsScanDaily
