E d i t, Cl r i a l
In early January, HUB headed down to Las Vegas for the 2004 version
of the Consumer Electronics Show. Not only were there more visitors
(nearly 130,000) and exhibtors [about 2,500) this year, there had to
be more plasma, LCO, and DLP televsions in the 1.38 million sq. ft. of
exhibit space than in all of Canada... OK, maybe just Western Canada.
Suffice it to say, there were a lot, and that was only one of the overwhelming aspects of the annual tradeshow and exhibition. The main
message driven home by CES
was the anticipation by manufacturers
.
that consumer interest in digital home devices and personal electronics will only continue to boom in 2004, based on increased sales in
almost every product category in 2003. According to research conducted in the U.S. by the
Consumer Electronics Association(which runs CES
), sales increased even in those categories
thought to have reached a plateau: PCs and wireless phones. PC sales rose by about 15 percent over
2002 and wireless phone sales jumped by 20 percent over the previous year, Not surprisingly, MP3
player sales in 2003 eclipsed 2002 by 121 percent. That optimism should translate into lots of new
products, and lots to write about, in 2004.

I was just at a movie a couple of days ago and saw the public service announcement about downloading movies. I actually sympathized with the stuntman who was talking. That is until I read
[January"s] editorial. Why are they targeting money paying moviegoers? It actually interfered with
my enjoyment of the movie at the beginning because I thought of the people I know who download
movies. The funny thing, though, is that the person I know who downloads the most movies also
goes to see a movie in a theatre once a week. I wonder if the industry is keeping statistics on
that? Kim Steggall, Stittsville, ON

SUBSCRIPTIONS
Subscrlptions

Just picked up HUB: Digital Living from the local library, and I noticed the article "Feeding your video
aspirations" [].. Man, am I glad I came upon this article! For a person who's just getting his feet wet
into digital camcorders (I had an old. hand-me-down VHS-tape camcorder that's as big as one of the
television cameras!), this article helped me.... For someone who didn't know the difference between
FireWire and firewall, well,[it] helped me understand a lot about what to look for in camcorders, how
I can use the computer to help enhance my videos, and help me realize how much there is to offer
other than just pointing and shooting. Then again, with my old VHS monster, it was already hard
enough to shoot with, just due to weight alone. Jason, Vancouver

The 2004 edition of the International Consumer Electronics

how [better known as CES) showed once again that the lines
between consumer electronics and computer technology are
blurring to the point that it's hard to tell where one ends and
he other begins. HUB editors were among the 120,000 visiors at the Las Vegas conference. Here are some highlights
from the show.
By Sean Carruthers

Despite the success of

portable digital audio, portable digital video has been slow to get
started. Companies like RCA and Archos have released portable
players that can handle video files, but compatibility with different types of video has been weak. At CES, Microsoft
(www.microsoft.corn] and Intel f www.intel.corn) both showcased
new products using a mobile version of the Windows Media
Centre interface, including products from Samsung (www.samsung.corn], iRiver [www.iriver.corn), ViewSonic
[www.viewsonic.corn) and Creative [www.creative.corn). At its
booth, Creative showcased its forthcoming Zen Portable Media
Center, which is somewhat larger than most hard drive MP3 players but about the size of other portable video players. New
devices using this interface will play audio files, display photos,
and play any video files that can be played by Windows Media
Player. The downside: you can't record video directly onto these
new devices yet, but since they will sync up nicely with your
Windows Media library, they should be fairly easy to use if you' re
already using Windows Media Player to manage your content.

At a special early-morning event,

Sprint [www.sprintpcs.corn) showed
off a number of new phones as part
of its PCS Vision service. The service
g> .+r g
allows subscribers for a fee, of
=g
, c ourse download
to
games, ring, tones, photos, and more, and to
i upload photo and video content captured on the phones. Journalists got
to try out the Sanyo
(www.sanyo.corn]
VM4SOO throughoutthe show, exchanging video
email, connecting directly to each others' phones using the Voice Over IPbased R-Link service(similar to Telus
Mobility's Direct Connect function on Mike
handsets]and showing offdownloaded
ringtones. [For the record, I downloaded a
Beyonce tune to my phone, but only after
searching for Devo and Kraftwerk.]
Unfortunately, the data services don't currently
work in Canada, so if you don't spend a lot of
your time in the U.S., you' ll have to wait for Canadian carriers to
update to a 3G network before you can take full advantage of the
features found on the Sanyo
phone.

At CES 2003, Microsoft's

Bill Gates talked about
the connected watch, and
now the technology is
finally getting into the
handsof...m ake thatonto
the wrist of consumers.
' st.c8
SPOTWatch models will
be available from Fossil
(www.fossil.corn] and
$I+ 1
Suunto(www.suunto
\
.corn). They feature a
receiver that scans the
FM airwaves for information addressed to them,
such as weather data,
'I
-
MS N messenger messages, news, stock
updates, and more. The watches will also sync with your MSN
information. It piggy-backs on local FM radio signals, which
means the watch can receive information but not send any. While
the SPOTWatches aren't available in Canada just yet, there will be
data coverage for the watches in several Canadian cities, including Ottawa, Victoria, and Toronto though oddly not in Vancouver
or Montreal yet. Now it's just a matter of time before you start
receiving spam on your watch!
.

In addition to the Zen, Creative(www,creative.corn] introduced new digital audio players. The MuVo TXline retains the
USB memory key style, but increases the memory to up to
512 MB and upgrades the interface to USB 2.0. The larger
mini hard disk MuVo2 line is now available in capacities up to
4 GB.The company, which has had success with Web cams
and Web/still cams, also showed off two new digital still
cameras.

Digital dream home getting closer to reality
It was, literally, a full house at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January.
This year, traditional consumer electronics makers were joined by manufacturers with backgrounds in personal computing technology, but who are vying for their place in the growing digital home environment.
In addition to a sea of flatter and bigger TVs and smaller and more colourful MP3 players, CES
2004 showcased smart home technologies. A wide range of companies unveiled new products and services to help users share content stored remotely on PCs and
media servers [see reviews, page 10) and to control all aspects of the home, including lighting, security, and heating. The
approach these companies have to making your home smarter depends largely on their areas of expertise.

Wire-ish
Not quite ready to for wireless? There
is a still way to get the wireless look

forvarious cablesconnectingyour
networked devices, as well as power
cords, and speaker wires. At the
recent Consumer Electronics Show in
Vegss, Decorp iwww.decorp.com) was
showing off its Flat Wire solutions,
which include e full line of voice/data.

is so thin it can be applied to a wall or

Extending the PC
Not surprisingly then, Microsoft's take on
home connecti
vity focuses on software.
During his CES keynote address, Microsoft
chief Bill Gates unveiled Windows Media Center
Extender Technology, software that piggybacks on the Windows Media Centre PC platform. The Extender Technology literally
extends the processing and storage capabilities of a Windows Media Center PC to Extenderenabled devices no matter where they, or the
PC, are in the house. So, with a remote control,
and Extender-enabled TV, for example, one
family member could select music, record television programs, or view photos all of which
reside on the PC in one room of the house
while the computer is being used by another
family member in another room,
The Extender
Technology was in use in
the Next Gen Demonstration Home
(www.nextgen04.corn) at CES, which hadAatscreenTVs in each room, all of which could
accessthecontenton the home's Windows
Media Center PC, as well as lighting, heat, and
security controls. The latter was thanks to

home automation products from HAI

[www.homeauto.corn), which were not directly
controlled by Extend, but accessed via the
Internet. [HAI controls are available through
home automation dealer/installers.)
Microsoft says it is working with consumer
electronics makers, such as Dell, Gateway and
Samsung,to develop Extend Technologyenabled devices, which it expects will be available later this year.
At CES, Microsoft also announced the Xbox
Media Center Extender Kit [an Xbox DVD title
with a dedicated remote control), allowing
userstoaccess a W indows XP Media CenterPC
using an Xbox game console.

7he leading edge of the connected home
One of the hottest electronics product categories today is multimedia sharing, and no wonder: people are amassing huge libraries of
digital media files music, photos, and videos but having to sit
down at the computer in a home office to access them is not ideal.
With a multimedia sharing setup, you can keep your Ales safely on
your PC but stream them to a multimedia receiver located elsewhere
in the home, and enjoy your media either on a home stereo, television, or home theatre setup.
The category isn't new Turtle Beach introduced the Audiotron
(www.audiotron.net] a couple of years ago but the latest products are more user friendly, fetching your audio files with the aid of
software on your PC rather than forcing you to learn about networking to make sure everything functions smoothly. And with the introduction of wireless networking, you can set up these new products
anywhere in your house without having to hide the wires.[All of
these wireless products support 64- and 128-bit WEP encryption,
so you can share your music wirelessly and maintain basic
WiFi security.)
If this sounds like the multimedia solution for you, there are few
things you need to keep in mind. First, you' ll need a home network
set up, either wired or wireless, if you want to use these devices
[see "Connected," page 13). Then, if you have firewall software running on your PC or firewall hardware, you will probably have to
spend some time configuring things so your wireless receivers will
be able to communicate with your PC.
We were running Norton Internet Security on our test machine, and
the program reacted as if the wireless receivers were remote computers attacking the PC. It let us know that the security software
was working, but it meant going into the manual configuration in a
couple of cases to set allowable types of access from within our
own network. After a bit of tinkering, everything worked as it should.
Lastly, the media-sharing software installed on your PC can be fairly resource-hungry, specifically with your memory. If your PC
already uses most of the installed memory, seriously consider
adding more before trying to use one of these products, especially if
your media library is extensive.

Audio only
Creative Sound Blaster Wireless Musie
www.soundblaster.corn Estimated price: $349
Creative has long been the brand to beat when it comes to audio on
the home computer, with a fantastic reputation for both its audio
cards and its portable digital audio players. It's not a surprise, then,
that the company jumped into the world of media-sharing within the
household. With the Sound Blaster Wireless Music, Creative has
stuck with what it knows best: the product handles Windows Media
Audio ( WMA) files and MP3, but does not even attempt to share
photos or video.
The Wireless Music uses 802.11b wireless networking to connect
to your home computer. There is no 10/100 Ethernet port, though it
can hook up to a PC using a USBconnection for initial setup.
Because the Wireless Music doesn't connect to a television, the rear
panel features audio connections only(and RCA stereo pair or opti10

HLJB : Oigital Living Vol. f7 Number 2

cal out). The stereo audio cable and USB connector both
come included in the box.
Because it is audio only, you can't use a television
display to make music selections. Instead, there
is an LCD on the remote control, which connects to the Wireless Music via radio frequency (RF]. This innovative touch means
you don't have to point the remote directly
at the receiver in fact, you don' t
even have to be in the
l same room tochoose
your tunes. Thedownr
side is a slight lag when
/t
us i n g the remote: it can
take a second or two after
~ ~ ~+ j
pre s sing the power button for
there to be any indication that it
has received the command, for
example.
Because the Wireless Music is powered on and off and controlled
from the remote, there's only one button on the front of the unit
itself, but it's a good one: Find Remote. If you' ve misplaced it and
press this button, the remote will beep.
Unfortunately, the Sound Blaster Wireless Music is a bit pricey
when you consider that it only handles music; you' re likely paying
extra for the remote. Thankfully, despite the lag, the remote works
quite well, allowing you to sort through your entire audio collection
by artist, song, album, and more in a fairly intuitive manner.

Audio andphotos
Linksgs Wireless-8 Media Adapter (WMA118)
www.linksys.corn Estimated price: $250
Linksys has made a huge splash in the world of home networking,
offering many products for the networking neophyte, both wireless
and wired. The Wireless-8 Media Adapter uses 802.11b to connect to
your home network, allowing you to share music files [WMA and
MP3) and photo files(JPEG, GIF,TIFF,and BMP], but not video.
It has stereo RCA connectors on the rear for
your audio, but no optical connection.
Because it shares photos, it comes with a
compositevideo and an S-Video connector for hooking to your television or
VCR. Stereo audio and S-Video cables
are included in the box.
Though it has integrated
802.11b wireless [and features
an adjustable antenna to maximize reception], it also has a 10i100
Ethernet connector on the rear for wired
. ~jf connections. All of these rear connec' ters can be tidied up with the included
"cable hood," which snaps on over the connectors.

our current favourite media-sharing product.

Audio,photos, and video

Pinnacle Show Center
www.pinnsclesys.corn Estimated price: $388~
Pinnacle has a long history of working with video[see reviews of
its home DV editing and capturing products in HUB January), so it' s
only natural that its foray into home multimedia sharing would
include video, in addition to audio, and photo sharing.
With its brushed silver finish and component-style design, the
Show Center looks like a DVD player or tuner module, so it won't look
out of place next to your home theatre components. The wider
design also means a wide variety of audio and video connectors on
the rear of the unit: two separate RCA stereo outputs, digital coax
and optical connectors, as well as S-Video, composite, and component video outputs. The component output is a nice touch, because
it means that the Show Center can be used with many computer
monitors and plasma displays in addition to teievisions and VCRs. It
also has a special output that can hook up to an adapter for use with
standard VGA monitors(adapter available separately unless you buy
the special bundle that includes it].
By default, the product is designed for wired connectivity ( 10/100

Ethernet]: it comes with a 9 m(30 ft.) Ethernet cable [to connect to

your network) and a 4.5 m (15 ft.) crossover cable [to connect
directly to a PC]. It also has a PCCard slot on the rear for adding
802.11b wireless connectivity. It's important to note, however, that
there are very few cards that are compatible with the unit. You' ll
want to check the Pinnacle Web site before purchasing a card. If you
choose an incompatible card, the Show Center may not fire up at all,
or may start to work and then fail. Despite the modular natureand theoretic ability to upgrade to 802.11g later to improve video
quality over a wireless connection this is actually fairly annoying
if you' re not in the mood for troubleshooting.
Unfortunately, that's not the only problem. The remote control is
less-than-intuitive, forcing you to press the A or 8 keys when other
keys would seem more intuitive, and the play controls don't always
work the way you'd think in certain applications. Spending some
time familiarizing yourself with the manual will definitely pay off.
The lack of immediate user-friendliness, though, is a serious liability

in aproductdesigned forthe home user.The on-screen menu is better, with fairly easy navigation, but you still have to set up some
preferences in the configuration menus ahead of time[such as
making "full-screen" the default way of viewing photo slideshows).
The bottom line with the Show Center is that it's a potentially great
and full-featured product that needs a little work on the user interface to truly take off.

SMC EZ-Stream Universal (Sl4CWMA-AG

)
www.smc.corn Estimated price: $349
The EZ-Stream Universal was the first of the wireless multimediasharing devices we got our hands on, and it's also one of the most
full-featured, sharing music, photos, and video files
using a dual 802.11a/11g wireless networking
component. This latter feature is key
becausethe 11a/11g combination
allows you to connect to almost any
wireless network currently available
for the home or office environment.
The rear of the unit is fairly basic, with
RCA stereo jacks for audio output and a
composite video connector [no digital
audio, no S-Video]. There's also a
10/100 Ethernet port if you'd prefer to
connectvia cable instead.Once
you' re hooked up to a display, you can
configure your wireless setup using
theremote.The menu system,
however, is less easy to navigate than desired.
Consequently, it's easier to configure it using a wired Ethernet connection. The device sits upright
on a fairly flimsy plastic stand but it also seemed to work fine resting on its side without the stand.
The PC software client is fairly easy to figure out, but has one kink:
if your library of media files is hefty, the media server software has
a tendency to eat up your CPU cycles while it's building all the information for your media library. And that takes quite some time: we
left it running overnight on a 3 GHz Pentium 4 processor, and it was
still running at maximum CPU usage the next morning. It's always a
problem when any program revs up your CPU to that extent for
extended periods, because it means the machine running the software can do little else, and all other applications grind to a halt.
With smaller libraries everything seems to work fine, but if you
have a lot of content you want to share, you may also run into this
problem. [It's also worth noting that SMC tech support is aware of
the problem and is working on it.]
The remote control has buttons that allow you to switch directly to
Audio, Internet Radio, Pictures, and Video with a single touch. The
menu navigation could stand to be a touch more intuitive, but you
get used to it fairly quickly.
Again, the EZ-Stream Universal is a potentially great little product,
but the client software problem is a pretty major issue if your media
library is extensive. Once it's dealt with, the product will be without
peer.

Setting up a home network
In the past, networking was something you didn't have to worry
about unless you were in the IT department. But today, there are
more and more reasons to set up a home network: the typical
household has more than one computer, and a plethora of networked devices like printers, and multimedia receivers are being
introduced. The iatter devices allow you to share the music, images,
and/or videos on your PC with the stereo and/or TV in other parts of
your home. The main question for many households now isn' t
whether or not to set up a home network, it's whether it should be
wired or wireless.

ingabout outsiders snooping around your machines. Some ofthese

broadband-sharing devices also include a parallel port, allowing
multiple computers to access a single printer,
The downside is that most sharing devices have a limited number
of 10/100 Ethernet ports, which means you' ll have to buy additional
hubs as your network expands.
The goodnews is thatallyou need on machines you want to connect to your network is a standard Ethernet port.

Wired

For many people, wireless networking is the way to go. With a wireless broadband-sharing device, you have the functionality as with
the wired version[including wired ports on the back J as well as a
radio transmitter/receiver inside that allows multiple wireless connections from computers or other devices equipped with wireless
networking components.
Because the price difference between wired and wireless routers is
minimal, it's probably better to invest in the wireless version if
you' re just setting up a network, because it gives you room to grow
down the road.
The big sacrifice with wireless is speed: wired networking typically
offers 100 Mbps, but wireless is a fraction of that. The most popular
wireless standard is 802.11b, which is 11 Mbps; the newer
B02.11g is S4 Mbps and is interoperable with 11b wireless
products [though only at the slower 11 Mbps speed). It' s
not even worth considering 802.11a for home use at this
point, because the technology has a shorter range, costs
more, and isn't compatible with either 11b or 11g products.
Wireless products can connect to a wireless router from
about 22 to 30 m[25 to 100 ft.jaway. If there isa lot of
building material [especially metal or concrete] in the way,
however, the signal starts to degrade. You' ll typically have
good reception in wood-based houses, but if you' re in a
condo with concrete walls and floors it probably won't work
as well.
If you already have a wired network, but want to add wireless, it's usually as simple
as plugging an access
point module into your
wired network. Access

Wireless

For small spaces, wired networks may be the easiest solution, as

long as you don't mind Ethernet cables strung around your work or
living space. While you can certainly connect your computers
directly to each other, it requires a knowledge of networking most
people don't want to be bothered with.
Instead, consider a broadband-sharing router. These devices hook
directly to your DSL or cable modem, allowing you to share a single
high-speedInternet connection among allofyourcomputers. Even
better, the routers create a home network behind a modest firewall,
allowing you to share files between your machines without worry-

Toronto-based contractor Jim Caruk

hosts the HCTV show Real Renos, an
entertairiing and unique Canadian
home renovation show. Unlike other
renovation shows, Real Renos provides
a down-to-earth, honest, documentarystyle look at what is actually involved
in doing a major home renovation. The
show is shot on location and the working dynamic between Caruk and his crew,
and their methods of dealing with the pitfalls
of renovations, are as funny as a good sitcom.
Caruk turned his expertise in renovations into a
television show after doing a particularly unpleasant job for a client who was a television producer.
"It was a fluke. We were doing a lob For a client who happened to be a producer at
the time, and it was a nightmare lob," he says. "We had to do an addition at the
back, but there was no way to get to the back, so we had to dig under the house,
and everything had to be done From underneath the house. It took seven months

I, .

to do this.
"At one time, there was two Feet of mud in the basement, It was a nightmare, but it turned out to
be a great lob, and at the end of it all we were still friends. She thought that it would probably

make great [reality] TV."

Caruk says he wanted people to get a candid look at the renovation process, both good and bad.
"Most renovation shows on the air didn't really give you the goods on the whole thing. A show
hat starts at 8;OO at night and by 8:30 the renovations are already Finished people get
the wrong idea about how it really is. These types of shows are done on a set, and
they are done over and over until it's done right. All [the viewers] see is the start
and the finished product so there's nothing in between you don't know how it
cally went. Our show is about the reality oF what a real renovation is like. It' s
not all bells and whistles. There's a lot of heartache and emotion.
here's anger."
Caruk made sure the producers of the show understood what he wanted
. to portray.
"I said to the producers, I'd love to do the show, but I want to do it from
our end and actually show the viewers what really goes on. If[they]
are not ready to get in to something like this, then buy a new house. If
you' re not ready for the renovation, then don't do it because either
you' ll lose your marriage or you' ll go nuts one or the other."
Once traditional in its approach, technology is also changing the
renovation business.
"We' re getting asked more and more about the 'smart homes'

'

"

'

where everything's programmed We' re doing one now where they

contracted[Toronto electronics shop] Bay Bloor Radio to do it all
the audio, all the flat screens, plasmas.
"About 7S percent of the houses we do now, maybe even a little
more, are going this way. Everybody's at least getting roughed in for it,
prepared for it. Maybe they can't afford all the equipment right away, but
they want to pre-wire the house for everything, be it sound, lighting, surround sound. Media rooms are also big now, It's still a learning curve,
because it's coming in so fast. In the last two years it's just all started relating
to the smart house."
Caruk's personal use of technology includes plans for a home theatre and
using small business computer technology for invoicing and giving estimates.
And his two kids, 12 and 17, are teaching him about the rest.
"My kids teach me more than anybody else. My oldest daughter said 'Oad,
don't be afraid to push the buttons that's what they' re there for.' She says 'All
adults are afraid to push the buttons you' re afraid you are going to wreck
something. Just push it!'
"I use my cell phone For sending and ending. They take it and say'Oh, dad look
at [all these Features],' At Four and five years old they were already wizards on
those things."

noting that the boxes aren't set
up chronologically; instead,
each sot features selections
from all of the Bond eras,
which means you gat a sarnpling of the different Band
actors in each set. [Yeah, it's a
bit frustrating if you' re a fan of
the Sean Cannery era only, or
the Roger Moore Era, but it
does mix things up a bit for the
fans that lave it ajj.)

P or table Vo o d o o :
a thing of envy
If you' re a power freak when it comes to your home computer,
chancesareyou feela bitlostwhen you have to head outon the
road with your slow old notebook computer. Notebooks have always
been pretty creaky compared to your typical desktop machine, but
if you' re the type of person who likes to use only performance parts
for maximum gaming performance, the step down to a notebook is
that much more severe.
Not any more. Calgary-based Voodoo PChas always prided itself on
performance computing, even when it went into notebooks, but with
the move towards the Athlon 64 processor in its new
envy series, the bar has been raised for mobile performance. Couple that with a high-end ATI Mobility
9600 GraphicsProvideo component and a 15-inch
TFT screencapable of1,400xi,050 resolution,and
you have one hot little notebook. Making things
even hotter, our test notebook aiso featured
802.11g wireless networking, a 60 GB hard drive
and aDVD/CD-RW combo drive.Forexternalconnectivity, the envy has two USB 2,0 ports, a
FireWire connection, one PC Card slot, and a
combination slot for MemoryStick,
SecureDigital, and SmartMedia cards. In addition to the wireless networking, the notebook
also features a built-in 10/100 Ethernet port
and a 56Kbps modem.
OK, so "little" is maybe not the most accurate word to use when describing this computer. The m:855 is about the size of
other machines with a 15-inch
screen and weighs in at
about 3.6 kg I 8 lb.],
so i'ts not
huge, but
norisita
stealth
machineit' ll weigh down your
shoulder if you have to carry it
~
r.
around regularly. Once you get it down
on a desktop though, it flies.
Our test computer scored quite high during benchmark testing, faster than any of the notebooks we' ve looked at yet either
Centrino or Athlon-based. Even better, the notebook managed to pull
off benchmarking scores that were usually about 80 to 85 per cent
of the performance level of a 3.06 GHz Pentium 4 desktop configured with high-performance components, and hard drive performance was about 90 per cent of the performance of that desktop PC
using Serial ATA.Pretty impressive indeed.
Of course, benchmarks are theoretical, measuring performance
under controlled circumstances. More importantly: how well does it
play games? In a word: beautifully. The graphics components are
top-notch, and it handles 3D gaming easily. We loaded Max Payne 2
ontothesystem, and itwas as smooth as can be.Aswe've seen the
www.hubcanada.corn

game bring desktop computers to their knees, it's all the more
impressive on a notebook.
You'd expect a notebook with this much computing and 3D power to
be extremely power-hungry, but the envy's battery can last nearly
2.5 hours with regular hard disk activity. We tested its runtime with
Madonion.corn's PC Mark 2002 software, using the battery test module; the hard disk tests were turned on during the benchmarking, to
add further drain. We achieved two hours and 23 minutes, which
means that more modest use of the machine would give you a
longer runtime(Voodoo quotes over three hours),
As with other Voodoo machines,
including desktops
and notebooks, the
finishing touch is
the customized
paint job. You have a
choice of eight
colours, and you can
"tattoo" your machine
with one of six graphics
available from the Web
site [though that does
add a week to the ship-

ping time).
Since Voodoo builds systems to order, there are a
number of other customizations you can make to your
machine: to tweak your performance [and price) you
can choosedifferent CPU
speeds, more RAM, a larger
hard drive [40, 60, or 80 GB),
and a number of external
peripherals like wireless routers,
external hard drives, keyboards,
and monitors.
If we have any complaint about the
envy, it's the positioning of the wireless
on/off switch and the FireWire connector.
Both are located along the front bezel, making it
easy to turn off the wireless when you' re working

Voodoo envy m:855

www.voodoopc.corn
Estimated price: $3,650 and up ($4,100 es tested)
in close quarterst such as holding the notebook in your lap]; it also
means the FireWire cable will stick out towards you when you have
a DV camera plugged into your notebook. These are reasonably
minor, though, and it's pretty easy to work around these problems.

& handful af handaata

The mobile phone category has exploded in the past year or so,

with a seemingly non-stop stream of announcements touting

new modelswith innovativefeatures anddesignsashandset
makers try to stay ahead of the curve. Here are a few phones
we' ve had our hands on recently:

Kgocera Blade
Despite its dramatic name, the Blade is a fairly standard handset
that doesn't do a lot of tricks [no camera or flipping or sliding). It's a
solid-feeling device, though, with a high-resolution colour display,
illuminated keypad and navigation toggle, and includes Web browsing, text messaging, alarm clock, directory, and scheduling functions. The Blade has a couple of features that will appeal to active
types: a built-in LED flashlight and an included caribeaner-type
sports clip. If you are using it outdoors, you' ll have to take off your
mittens: the keys are almost flush with the surface of the phone,
requiring attention [or fairly small digits) when diaiing. It may not
set the world an fire, but neither will it break the bank. The Blade
was the least expensive new handset available through Telus
Mobility at press time. Megan Johnston

Siemens SL56
Always trying to make handsets smaller, Siemens has introduced
one that slides instead of flipping open[similar to the Kyocera Slider
reviewed in the December issue). Besides the cool factor and it is
very cool there is no real benefit to this design. The SLSGhigh-

The Sidewinder is a compact (5x3.8x2.5 cm), lightweight (70 g) recharger yau crank ta give your phone battery a boost. Winding steadily for twa
minutes can add six minutes of talk time ta a law battery. The device is
compatible with almost any phone model: the included cable that attaches tathe phone has ta match the phane's interface.butcan be swapped
far a different cable if yau change your handset. Sidewinder wasn't the
firstto channelhuman energy into phone power.Freeplay
(www.freeplay.iret) did sa with the Fr eecharge, but that device was triple
the size and weight of the Sidewinder arid was arrly compatible with
M otorola
phones in North America.Italso lacked the Sidewinder'
s second
use: as an LEO flashlight. The Sidewinder is about $32" and is available
online
from U.S.-based www.sidewindercheger.corn,which provided us
with the test unit. (A Gaagle.ca sear ch found several Canadian online
.retailers selling the same unit.)

lights the problems of miniaturization inherent in slider handsets:

the dial pad, when extended, is only 2.3x3.3 cm[0.9 x1.3 in.). The
buttons have a nice reverse scalloped design, but I had to doublecheck each number I dialed. If you have smaller fingers or lots of
patience this frustration is somewhat offset by the high-resolution colour display and that Web surfing, games, and phone data can
be accessed even when the
handset is closed. Nestor
Gula

Siemens S55
Thiscompact handset
is a camera phonesort of. The camera is
a lightweight peripheral, with images
captured on its small
viewBnder rather
than the phone's display. Taking a picture
is a bit awkward,
requiring a few steps
to turn the camera on,
but the camera does
have a built-in flash,
which is not the norm
in current phone cameras. This Java-enabled
handset has a host of
other features: handsfree speaker, Web surfing, contact, calendar
and voice-memofeatures, and the ability to
easily transfer data to a
PC via Bluetooth or the
included USB cable. NG

Cellular selection
Nat satisfied with the range of handsets from service providers? Part of
the reason their offer ings ar e limited is the expense of technical and
service support for each handset they add ta their lineup. Another option:
retailersor wholesalers that sell handsets only. One of these,
Oraagewave Wireless (www.arairgewavewireless.corn), offer e several
models nat currently available ta Canadian consumers through service
provider s. Company vice-president, Eric Farr, says they usually carry
between 20 arid 30 models, arid can special order handsets they don' t
havein stock.They getaround the service/support issue by arranging ta
ship phones back ta the manufactur er if there is a problem and provide
customers with a loaner phone during the repair or replacement period,
says Fan Know what kind of service yau want, however, before going this
route.Orangeweve,for example,only sells GSM handsets,which are
compatible with Fida and Rogers services bat nat Telus Mobility or Bell
Mobility.

Maybe it's only been a month, but you can't imagine what you
ever did without it. Youtake it everywhere it never leaves your
side. Life in the dark, cold, Canadian winter seems just a little bit
brighter by the light of its little LCD screen.
Whether it's your new portable music player, your shiny PDA, or
the longed for digital camera you found under the tree, you'd be
wise to keep it close the closer, the better, in fact. Because
there's at least one thing most electronic gadgets have in common
specified operating temperatures that don't drop below freezing.
Check your manual, and you' ll likely find that your new favourite
sidekick needs to be protected from the chill of winter in Canada.
Cold weather can affect electronic devices in several
ways. First, most batteries deliver less power
as the temperature drops, which
ously reduce the runtime on powe
hungry devices like digital camera
This drop in performance varies
widely between battery types
for example, alkaline batteries operating at -20 C will
offer only 35 per cent of the
service they provide at room
temperature, while Lithium
and Nickel-Cadmium batteries drop to slightly over and
slightly under 75 per cent,
respectively.
Secondly, liquid crystals,
which are of course the

ets outside, as from bringing them back in. Moisture is the enemy
of all electronics, and condensation that results from bringing a
cold item back into a warm environment can seep inside the case
through cracks and joints, where it can cause corrosion or even
short circuits.
Still not willing to leave your gadgets safely at home until spring?
Here are a few tips to help you make it through the cold.
0 As muchas possible,keep your camera, phone,PDA, ormusic
player inside your coat, close to your body, Avoid carrying it in a
backpack, especially while you' re operating it, and don't leave it for
long in a parked car.
O When you bring it back inside, let it warm up to
room temperature before turning them on. This
ke several hours, but don't give into
temptation to put them next to the
diator or fireplace to speed up the
process it's better done gradually.
o Carry extra batteries if possible, and warm them up
before you insert them.
You' ll be able to keep shooting pictures longer if you
have two sets, and you may
be able to squeeze more
power out of cold batteries
once they warm up again,
even if they appeared to be
dead.
o To prevent damage from
condensation, there's a simple
techniquecommonly passed
around among photographers.
While you' re still out in the cold, seal
the camera or device inside a plastic bag.
The condensation from the warmer, more humid
indoor environment will settle on the bag instead of on
what's inside. Then let the device warm up to room temperature
before taking it out of the bag.

it needs to be kept warm.

Looking for a handheid that can handle the chill? DAP

Technologies (www,daptech.corn), of Vanier, Que., offers an
option. Designed for use by workers in industries like public utilities, forestry, and the military, the Microflex CEBB40 resists
rainand dust,can be dropped from up to 1 m onto concrete,
and operates in temperatures from -20 C to 50 C, according to
specifications provided by the company. It runs on Windows
CE.Net with a 206 MHz Intel StrongARM processor and a
Lithium ion battery. Durability comes at the cost of its portability, though; at 13x5.5x1.2 cm with a weight of 1.1 kg, it's a little heftier than most handhelds.

[www.lge.corn) and
Samsung (www.samsung.ca], both of
which introduced
large new plasma
screens at the show.
ooaa
LG was first off the
mark, introducing a
"world's largest"
screen, a 76-inch model, for the first day of the show. Within 24
hoursSamsung announced an 80-inch plasma display.Atthat
size, a 4-inch difference isn't a lot, except for the bragging rights.
Both screens looked great, will cost insane amounts of money,
and will force you to build a new addition to your house just to
hold them.

In this issue, we look at wireless digital media-streaming devices

that are already available, but of course there are newer ones
coming down the road with more features. One of the more natural evolutions is Linksys' [www.linksys.corn) new DVD Player with
Wireless-G Media Link. It will not only stream your music, phoe tos, and digital video files through your house wirelessly, it
has a built-in OVO player so you have one less box to fit into
your entertainment centre or TV
stand. It's expected to

retail for around
$390'.

Montreal-based ICP Solar(www.icpsolar.corn], maker of the iSun

portable solar charging unit, showed off its technology, which is
now built into a prototype from Scott eVest. The forthcoming jacket
features solar collection panels along the top rear panel, which
charges up a battery pack inside one of the pockets, allowing you
to charge your portable devices as they run out of power; alternately, you will be able to connect your portables directly to the
solar charging panels. As with other models of the Scott eVest,
new solar-eriabled models will feature plenty of pockets for your
gadgets, and the ability to hide your wires inside the jacket, out of
sight.

Flash memory used for digital cameras, media players, and

USB keys was big, big, big. SanDisk [www.sandisk.corn) introduced a number of new Cruzer models, including
the Titanium, a USB 2.0 key that can withstand a two-tonne weight[great if you' re
prone to dropping things under the wheels of
cars). Both SanDisk and lomega
(www.iomega.corn) released ultra-compact
USB memory key models. Iomega's Micro Mini

Wurlitzer [www.gibsonaudio.corn) has jumped into the digital age

with new jukebox models. For those who want the old-style
appealofa jukebox thatswaps actualmedia, 50 and 100 CO jukebox models are available, but the new Wurlizter Digital Jukebox
adds a more modern spin. The Digital Jukebox has a thinner,

Apex Digital(www.apexdigitalinc.corn), well-known for its affordable line of DVD players, has jumped into the gaming market with
its new ApeXtreme: a console designed to play standard PC games.
The console will use Windows XP Embedded operating system and
features a 1.4 GHz Via C3 processor, and will come with a DirectX
9.0-compatible graphics component From Via's S3 Graphics division. The console is designed to run most PC-compatible titles
(though you will undoubtedly have some difficulty with the most
resource-hungry titles). It is expected to cost about $520* when it
becomes available later this year. That is moie than double the
cost of current console-only systems(of which the most expensive, Xbox, retails for about $240), but it will also double as a DVD
player.

If inkjet printer prices seem too
good to be true, that's because
theyare they're sold at razorthinmargins because the manufacturers know the real profit is
in consumables like ink cartridges. But there are ways you
can help tilt the odds in your
favour.
Print less: No, really. If that
Web site print out is going to
end up buried on your desktop,
why not
justsave itto yourhard
disk until you really need it?
Lose the colour: Colour cartridges cost more than black cartridges, and you typically have to
replace them even if oily one of
the primary colours is empty. If it
:doesn'thave to be in colour,use
the pri
nterdriver(the Printer
Setup option in the File menu, in
most Windows programs) to outputgreyscale instead.
a Rough it: The better the print
quality, the more ink you use.
Unlessyou're handing the printouttoyourboss,you mightwant
to knockthe quality down a
notch. As a bonus, it' ll also
print faster.

Teaching tools
In addition to educating the general public about recycling batter
ies.the RBRC has a lesson plan
forteachersto educate the next
generation of consumers a
generation that will likely have
greateraccess to the type of
mobile electronics that depend o
battery power. The free lesson
plan (which can be downloaded at
www.rbrc.orgl uses batteries as
a basis for developing math, science and history skills, and
includes inter activeexperie
m
nts.
It is aimed at students 10 and u
and discusses the merits of batterypower,safety tips,and how
to recyle. A section on battery
consumption statistics and
recyling legislation is based on
U.S, information, but otherwise
the lesson plan is suitable for
Canadian students. It is
endorsed by the National
Geographic Society

A ll used up end n o w h e r e
to go?
Recycling resources for batteries and cartridges
The worst consumer electronics and computerrelated consumables are probably batteries, and
it's not hard to see why. From a baby's first Elmo
toy through to grandpa's hearing aid, we use battery-powered devices almost every day. We also
throw plenty of them out. Figures vary, but even
low estimates put the daily average in Canada at
eight million a day. One way to reduce that number is to use rechargeables, but that just slows
the tide; eventually they run out too.
Fortunately, there are many places that reclaim
spent batteries. Your own municipality might be
one manycities have some kind ofhazardous
waste collection program, and batteries, filled as
they are with caustic acid, certainly qualify. You
can also check the Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation Web site(www.rbrc.org),
where you can find a list of retailers that collect
rechargeables in your area. The list isn't perfect,
though; for one thing, it skips some retailers that
alsotake back single-use batteries [I discovered a battery
reclamation box at Ikea while
working on this article; they' re
not on the list). Also, searching
for places near my home gave
me a list that included stores
several hours' drive awaysome were even in New York.
Onethingto keep inmind: not
everyone reclaims the same
types of batteries. They can be
divided into several categories:
single-use, rechargeable [AA,
AAA, and C-cell, for example),
sealed rechargeabie [as in a
cell phone), and coin cell [such
as thosefound in watches).
Printer consumables are a bit
easier to deal with. Inkjet printers in particular are notorious
for gobbling up huge quantities
of ink cartridges, which seems
hardly surprising. After all,
that's where the printer manufacturers earn their profits.
Fortunately, most of the heavy
hitters are also willing to clean
up after themselves: HewlettPackard, Lexmark, Xerox, and
Dell all reclaim inkjet and toner
cartridges at no cost to the

H LIB: D i gital Living Vol. 1'7 Number 2

consumer.
(Canon is an interesting case: they not only
take back their toner cartridges free of charge,
they donate a dollar to an environmental cause
for each one received. They don't take back inkjet
cartridges, but they' re the only company with a
longstanding practice of using individual cartridges for each ink colour in many of their inkjet
printers, substantially reducing the amount of
half-full cartridges wasted.)
If you don't own one of these printers, don't fret;
ask your local computer store if they reclaim
empty cartridges, or if they know who does. Some
en Gros in
larger stores, like StaplesBureau
(
Duebec)take back any make ofinkjetcartridge.
But what about those CDs? You' ll just have to be
patient; I' ll cover that next month.

Since the inception of character-based video games, female characters have generally been non-playable "damsel in distress"
types. While heroines like those in Fear Effect may have initial'ly
been lauded as strong female characters brought about to give the
video game industry a much needed woman's touch, they were little more than moving Barbie dolls of differing hair colour, designed
to appeal to a predominantly male audience. These anatomically
impossible and damsel-in-distress characters are still prevalent,
but today there are some with female lead characters who can
take care of themselves.

Beyond Good 5 Evil feels like an interactive movie experience with
a well-crafted story from Michel Ancel, the quiet but accomplished
Frenchgame designer responsible forRagman.
Garners lead Jade though the believable yet futuristic world of
Hillys as she uses her camera to get documentary evidence of a
government conspiracy to take complete control of the peaceful
planet.
The Hillyan government is opening up
its planet's defense systems to be colonized by a power hungry force called
the DomZ, all the while convincing the
citizens of Hillys that they are fighting

and her band of IRIS network followers
as she uses her camera, fighting skills,
gadgets, smarts, and stealth to get

BG8cE has a great and
well-realized cast of
characters including
Jade's humanoid pig
sidekick/uncle, Pey'jand a twisting, but not
convoluted or hackneyed, storyline.
Gameplay is similar to recent Legend of Zelda games and sees players fighting a variety of enemies and figuring out puzzles that,
while sometimes difficult, are worked into the story seamlessly
and don't
hold up the game.
The only real complaints that can be leveled at BGRE are occasional slowdown and dropped frames when either the action is moving
too fast for the hardware or there are too many characters on the
screen and its brevity. Clocking in at around 15 hours for a
leisurely beginning-to-end adventure, the game finished long
before I was ready to pack it in.
That said, there is some replay value in trying to track down the
last of the 88 pearls[black market currency) and in trying to snap

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness

For. PS2, PC Price: S49.99 ESRB: T

Lara Croft Tomb Raider. Angel of Darkness is perhaps the most
ambitious Tomb Raider game to date. Unfortunately, it is also the
worst in the series.
Lara Croft has always had control issues that made moving the
digital heroine an exercise in frustration for those used to the more
fluid control of hundreds of other games. However, even the relatively poor control of past Tomb Raider games pales in comparison
to the abomination that is this newest title. Lining Lara up for a difficult jump or walking on a narrow path is akin to picking up needles wearing bulky work gloves that is to say, it's stupid and
frustrating.
Inside Angel of Darkness is the good game that designers spoke of
and attempted to create before deadlines, pressure from management, pressure from Tomb Raider fans
who feit they had waited long enough
for the latest in the series, or all three
pushed the game onto retail shelves
before it was properly finished,
The original idea was to create a new
breed of Tomb Raider garne, complete
with in-depth stealth missions, char'
aeter and stat building akin to current
~i
role-playing games, and a progressive
level design that creatively blocks
accesstosome game areas and levels
until certain skills or abilities have
been learned.
Instead, garners ge
t
what feels like a beta
build of the game, rife
with bugs, slowdowns,
and general designing
sloppiness that would
ordinarily be caught and
rectified before a game
ever sees release.
While its graphics are
impressive and the game audio is up to par, the character building,
dynamic conversation, and progressive-level design spoken of in
marketing materials and advertisements are all poorly realized and
only briefly obscure the fact that the game is static and completely
linear.
PC garners will find numerous "quit to desktop" errors and console

While Macworld 2004 had yet to start at the time of writing,
organizers were trumpeting the Macworld Game Arcade for the early
January conference, promising a showcase featuring numerous
Mac GSs, with some[but not all) of the latest games, along with
some recent console and PC best sellers from publishers like
Ubisoft, Microsoft Game Studios, Vivendi Universal Interactive,
GarageGames, and MacSoft.
Mac users have traditionally been left out in the proverbial cold
where games are concerned, forced to make do with a very select
few titles. Only those games that have proven very profitable on the
seemingly ubiquitous Windows PC platform are ported over to the
Mac OS, which represents about 10 per cent of personal computers.
The MacworldGames Arcade sponsored by Apple probably won't
dramatically change this fact, but it at least demonstrates to existing Mac users that the company is trying to bring more entertainment beyond video editing, photo editing, and iTunes to the
platform. It promised games
like Halo, Splinter Cell and
Lara Croft Tomb Raider. Angel
of Darkness (which may
benefit from the few extra
months of porting and development time, see game
reviews, page 22) as well as
a few iMacs showing off

Though Apple's approach to gaming today may be lukewarm, it
hasn't
always been so.TheApple II,which debuted in 1977,was
designed at least in part as a games machine, according to High
Score! The Illustrated History of Electronic Games(Demaria and
Wilson]. The fact that it was sold to parents as a homework tool and
used by kids as a games machine is neither here nor there.
As the only computer that displayed more than two colours at the
time, it was competitive, despite being more expensive than its
closest competition: the Commodore PET and the Tandy TRS-8D. The
gap wasclosed when Commodore released the Commodore 64 in
1982, a home computer that borrowed heavily from the Apple II.

Taking care of your digital photo files

'

In photography, it's a good idea to organize and

take precautions to preserve your pictures. The
same is true with computer files. Digital photography brings the two together, so good photo
care and good data care amount to the same
thing. There are many things you can do to manage your digital photos and two that you definitely should do. In both cases, computers make
the task a lot easier,

Mac OS X
and Windows XP include picture-cataloguing utilities, plus many digital camera makers include such software as part of the package,
so youprobably already have some tools atyour
disposal. Or you can buy separate software packages for under $100. Cataloguing software
makes it so simple to organize your photos and
offers so many options for sorting and arranging
collections that there's no reason not to take
advantage of it.
This is especially true if you are of the "throw it
in ashoebox" schooloforganization,because
you don't have to do much beyond transferring
the photos from your camera to a
designated folder on your computer
hard drive. The cataloguing software
automatically tags the images with
a few identifiers that you can use
later to locate one or a bunch of pictures.
In case you didn't know, most digital cameras store extra information
called metadata with each image:
things like the date and time the
picture was taken. Some software
automatically logs this metadata, so it becomes
very easy to find date-specific photos birthday

parties, vacations, holidays, etc.

You' ll also have access to some powerful file
management tools that allow you to, for example,
batch rename or resize a group of photos with a
common namelike"2004vacation."

Archiving
Think of all the bad things that can happen to
the files on your computer: they might get lost,
infected with a virus, destroyed by a mechanical
or electrical problem, or corrupted in any number
of ways. If you lose some email that way, it' s
probably no big deal, but what if you lose cherished, one-of-a-kind photos of graduation, vacations, grandparents, grandkids, etc, P
The simplest way to protect data is to make a
backup copy and store the backup somewhere
safe. Most computers now come with CD
recorders, and because blank discs are inexpensive, writing a copy of your files to CD is a simple
and affordable backup method. If you have a second hard drive in your computer, you can store
duplicate copies there. This will help if your primary hard drive fails, but not if something catastrophic (Are, flood, or theft) takes out your
whole system.
No single backup system is foolproof and there
are caveats to be mindful of for example, how
long CD-R discs will really last is the subject of
some debate buthaving some backup system
is better than none.
In the coming months in this column, I' ll cover a
range of digital photography topics such as
image editing, printing, etc. If there's a topic
you'd like to see addressed, please feel free to

As the titles implies, it treats the digital

image as a starting point for other creative
projects like magazine layouts, illustrations,
or Web graphics,Itcovers standard photographic topics like composition and lighting,
butgives more treatment to what you can
do with image editing software. Being publishedin association with Adobe Press,that
discussion
revolves around Adobe products
likePhotoshop and Photoshop Elements. It
seems bestsuited to a person interested in
breaking into the graphic arts field.

Imagine if your cat

had an Internet
address. In the future,
it will. So will your
doorbell, your snowblower, and each of
your children.
But, not before uIPv6." Yes, another annoying
tech term. And it sounds weird when you say it
j "Eye Pee Vee Six"), but it's an important one.
An IP address is a set of numbers separated bq
dots that acts as a numeric identifier for every
device that connects to the Internet. When your
computer, home router, or mobile phone connect
to the Internet, each identifies itself with an IP
address. If my computer wants to communicate
with your computer, the two devices swap IP
addressesand then data can move between
them.
Thatsystem ofnumbers has been around since
1973 and in geek circles is called IPv4. But IPv4
has limitations primarily
because there are only 200
million or so combinations of
c
numbers possible and there
are 60 million people around
the world on the Internet
today. We get around that
8I
shortfall by sharing IP
addresses when we connect
to the Internet. When we
need an IP number, our
devices get one from the
Internet service provider.
When they'
re done,the number is recycled.
Wouldn't it be great, though, if we could each
have our own IP address from birth to death?
Data could find us anywhere. Scary to some
maybe, but in a mobile, digital connected world, it
would be very convenient. No more leaving your
dental
X-rays behind when you change dentists,
because they could be allocated to your personal
IP address and could be accessible to you anytime you asked for them.
Because there is a shortage of IP numbers, we
can't assign an address to every person in the
world. Enter IPv6, an update of IP address technology being promoted by some really bright
minds. What IPv6 does is allows for as many as
10rs unique Internet addresses. That's a really big
number and hard to imagine, but it's enough
addresses to give every molecule on earth an IP
address.
This is going to be very handy because it means
everything we own could be assigned a trackable

HU EI :D igital Living - V o l . 1'7 Num ber 2

address so we could locate anything we wanted

anytime we wanted on the network. It's the
underpinnings of the smart home, where the
home knows where everything is and really, to
my mind, it's the underpinnings of a smart future.
Alex Lightman, spokesperson for the North
American IPv6 Task Force, and his colleagues
believe that everything that's worth US$25 or
more will one day have an IP address. [The one
exception is food: Your side of beef will not be on
the Internet.)
From a practical perspective, this means that a
hockey mom will be able to see all the data traveling to and from her children's computers, devices
and, yes, even their Game Boys. She' ll be able to
remotely program the microwave. And the fridge
will call for a repairperson and perhaps even be
fixed remotely. There will be privacy issues, but
the advantages far outweigh the di
From a North American perspective, we' re a little
behind on IPv6, while China, Japan, and Korea
have taken a serious interest.
That positions the Asian
nations and their economies
way ahead of us when the
next generation Internet
comes.
Lightman is worried about
this. "We' re Napoleon and
.f
this is our Waterloo!" he
j'
exclaimed with a zeal thats
infectious. Rightly so.
Since the U.S. controls most
ofthe IPv4 addresses,
American companies are less
interested in IPv6. "Cisco, HP, [Internet service
provider] NTT Verio have done their job on IPv6,"
Microsoft, Intel these
he said,abut Sprint, ATBcT,
guys have not."
However, the U.S. Department of Defense has
m andated
theuse ofIPv6 by 2008.The restof
America is less bullish, though anything that the
American industrial military complex gets interested in will likely interest the rest of America
f and the rest of us] sooner or later.
Lightman organized a forum about IPv6 in
January at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las
Vegas. Four hundred people were slated to attend.
Lightman believes it may be the turning point.
uWe're lone voices in the wilderness, but once
MadisonAvenue and Hollywood and Washington
and Silicon Valley realize it's important," said
Lightman, "it' ll be a chance to redo the Internet
and do it better."
