  1. Too funny.. Marketing gets the cake on Faster, Stronger 802.11b · · Score: 1
    I love watching companies fight to be the first to announce hardware... even when the market doesn't need it
    Other companies will have this as well... D-Link, SMC, Netgear, Linksys (although they just OEM from someone else, their stuff sucks).
    Just wait for 11g

  2. So much more we could make illegal on 'Virtual' Child Porn Act Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 1
    Had this law passed what would have been next? Maybe make virtual killing illegal. Think about it.. what makes killing someone in a game different then killing someone for real. Then we would have to rid ourselves of movies that had killings in them. I am glad to see that sometimes the system works right.

    I saw this episode of "Buffy" where these monsters made everything quiet... That worries me.. if the monsters have this technology what will the government use against them?

    Makes me wonder how long ago this was. The technology of sound cancellation is an art form to say the least. A mic picks up ambient sound and creates a equal but opposite wave, effectively canceling out the original wave. The US army has been installing them on choppers because they basically know the sound the horizontal blades produce, but a b52? hmmm another case of the unexplained.

    The reason it works so well on a pair of head phones is that you are canceling the waves headed for your ears. You have to send the canceling wave in time with the original wave. On a object that is producing sound you would have to mic the sound and then produce a sound wave to send out at the same time the original sound wave is leaving the object. That's some power. I can see this as being new tech, but not as being around for a while.

  6. I am siked about the adapter.. on Apple @ MacWorld Tokyo · · Score: 1
    I was looking over the site and almost fell out of my seat, D-Link is making the USB to bluetooth adapter, who would have known. I have a couple of D-Link's 802.11b stuff and it works great (although I still had to buy the apple card). It would be cool if they came up with Mac drivers for their 11b cards.
