Podcasting tools — new recorder with 24 bit from Edirol 22.02.2006
Is there a new sheriff in town regarding portable digital audio recorders? — On January 19, 2006 “Edirol” published the first details about a successor to their first portable recorder, the “R-1″. In the last days I was busy trying to get their new product at some dealers or at least more in-depth informations, but of course failed as it is as difficult as trying to buy a recorder from one of Edirols competitors like “AEQ”, “M-Audio”, “Marantz” or “Tascam”. I don’t understand, why these companies are not able to deliver enough items to the shops and dealers, the demand …
Multi-Touchscreen Interaction — Future of Computing? 10.02.2006
Will Multi-Touch interaction on a touchscreen be the future of computing?
At least Jefferson Y. Han and his colleagues Philip L. Davidson, Casey M.R. Muller and Ilya D. Rosenberg are
experimenting with a wide variety of application scenarios and interaction modalities that utilize multi-touch input information. These go far beyond the “poking” actions you get with a typical touchscreen, or the gross gesturing found in video-based interactive interfaces. It is a rich area for research, and we are extremely excited by its potential for advances in efficiency, usability, and intuitiveness.

Some folks are starting to complain again as the video recordings of the 22. Chaos Comuncation Congress 2005 are not available yet.
The recordings are not lost, they are indeed complete and in a very good condition - but only on the 400 digital video tapes. As the 22C3-video crew from the Streamingteam of FeM e.V. tells us in this posting, there is an easy explanation to this. They started working on the recordings straight after the congress and soon had to realise, …
NASA: distributed computing with Stardust@Home 01.02.2006
Want to help at NASA’s comet sample return mission? Remember “SETI@home” where internet users shared CPU usage of their home computers to help searching for artificial radio wave signals in the universe? You can answer at least one of two questions with “yes”? Than here might be something interesting for you: Now you can be part in an Internet-based search for dust grains originating from stars hundreds of thousands of light years away.
In a new project called “Stardust@home” researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, invite Internet users to help them search for a few dozen submicroscopic grains of …
