< COMMENTARY w

Welcome to2002 t's doubtful anyone could have anticipated all that's happened during the past year, and here we are, entering 2002 and facing a changed world. Fall Comdex, from which we have just returned, presented an interesting microcosm of the various forces now at play, which is basically a story about a s s' weakened te«h sector playing host to an insecure population. But before I get into that, I'd like to note that we still found Comdex worth attending. Again this year, the exhibit area was divided into zones, or "pavilions," that concentrated exhibitors with similar technologies into common areas: Bluetooth, USB, Wi-Fi, Palm, and others. We anticipated that security and videoconferencing vendors would be the big exhibitors this year, and we may have been half right. This year's security pavilion was called Biometropolis, and according to two exhibitors I spoke with, there was an increased interest in security as people seem more acutely aware of threats of all types. But there was not any big push for videoconferencing.

Thathappened a few yearsago,so ma ybe even the vendors consider it old news. Given the drop-oIT in business travel, though, we think videoconferencing, like security, will be an option many businesses will revisit in 2002. One exhibitor I was surprised to see was NTT DoCoMo, the Japanese telco that rolled out the world' s first 3G cellular service in Japan last October. The mobile service is called FOMA (Ireedom of mobile multimedia access), and includes a number of multimedia services that a 384Kbps download speed (64Kbps upload) permits. These inriude a lot of the services we already see available on cellular phones in this country (for example, weather and traffic reports, online banking, and news)

Caautks unwelaotnaatYahoo autgan sile Afterseeing Yahoo.ca quoted asan authoritative source oa online business in Canada in your previous issue, I think your readers should b e m ade aware of some recent d eveiopments a t

only served more quickly and on tiny colour screens. NTT had a number of 3G phones on display, many looking a lot like the Sanyo 5000 colour phones adorning Telus billboards in various parts of the country. One model even incorporated a tiny digital camera that could be used to record both stN images and video clips. I asked one of the representatives why NTT was at the show, given the incompatibilities of their service with North American cellular systems, and she stated simply "to show what is possible." There were other technologies we found interesting, and you can read about these in ow special show report section. As an event, it was different than any other Comdex I' ve attended. First, it was much smaller than in previous years. Two years ago. organizers reported that attendance exceeded 200,000, with more than 2,000 exhibitors taking part. While I haven't seen official figures for this year, one news report suggested attendance had fallen to somewhere around 100,000. Exhibitors once packed both the Las Vegas Convention Center and two floors of the Sands Convention Center, but the Fall 2001 show fit all of them into the LVCC — with room to spare. I walked to the LVCC one morning, down Sands Avenue and Paradise Road and encountered just one person who was also walking. Last year, that mute was teeming with people. In the weeks leading up to the event, we were informed by Key3Media, the show organizer. that security would be tight. All attendees would have to show photo ID and only

security measures would have created a severe bottleneck, but with the diminished crowds, the only lineups (and short ones at that) were first thing in the morning. The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York certainly had a part to play in the reduced attendance. I read a news report that said registration for the show fell off by about 30 percent in the weeks following the attacks. The tanking of the PC industry in 2001 also had an effect, with companies scaling back marketing and travel budgets as a matter of survival.

ButComdex events were getting smaller even before Sept. 11, with the 2000 event in Las Vegas and the Vancouver and Toronto shows in 2001 feehng noticeably smaller than in previous years. For many years, Comdex was the main event for anyone who wanted to sell or buy the latest computer technologies. Today. you can get as much information olf the Internet. Moreover, digital technology is a central part of many sectors now, including consumer electronics, telecommunications, photography, and film mahng. There's only so much that a single show can do to cover that expanding base, and meanwhile, other sperialized shows have become better conduits to carry the dig)tel message to their constituents. In the past, we used Fall Comdex as a reality check on our own editorial planning for the coming year. It still serves that function to an extent, but we know, just as technology consumers do, that revealing the expanding digital universe needs more than a single discovery point. Our snooping continues in earnest.

media would be allowed to bring bags or computers into the exhibit halls. There were metal detectors set up at the entrance to the convention centre that everyone had to pass through, and the area was being patrolled by security guards and bomb-sniffing dogs. But no one was required to show photo ID. Had there been as many people as in previous years, the

It turns out that my HP printer (842c) is designed to use the colour cartridge to attain "a better grayscate i mage"than would be possible by

using black only. I needed to replace the colour cartridge as one of the colours had run dry. Thiswas not explained in the documentation I received with the printer. Perhaps the Epson Stylus 600 also uses colour to print grayscale. zohn Mctwen

Editor , 0an'd Tanako, ond Product Review Editor, SeanCanuthers, modethe pilgrimoge toComdex Fall2001 in Los Vegos in mid4fovember to see whot new products, services, and technologiesmoy be coming round the comer in the newyear. Following ore somehighlights from the show floor.

Anoto pushesdlgaof ink LAS VEGASâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Comdex has traditionally been a place to see what's on the digital horizon, and while the show was noticeably smaller than last year's event, innovation continued to be showcased.

One of the most ambitious projects we encountered is being led by Anoto, a sub-

sidi ary ofSwedish company CTechnologies. Anoto's goal is to build an infrastructure that will auow anything you write by hand to be captured digitally and sentto a computer, cell phone, or electronic organizer. "We want to create a global de facto

standard for pen and paper," says Nino Taranti no, Anoto's Boston, Mass.-based vice-pr esident of business development.

But building such a standard requires coordination of three big building blocks: pen, paper,and data communications system.

Thepen used forthe demonstrationswas Ericsson's Chatpen, a writing instrument with a few electronic twists. It has a microcamera near the writing tip, and also houses a microprocessor and a Bluetooth radio

module. As you write, the ink Rows from the ball point as normal, but the camera alsorecordsthe movement overthe surface

of the paper. Andthat' s the second part ofthe equation. Special paper printed with a barely

visible patter n ofdotsisneeded to provide co-ordinate reference points for the camera. The camera doesn't record the ink as it

is being laid down on paper, but creates a matching digital trace from the reference dots on the paper.

Tarantino cans it"smart papeV'because the dots are notjust X-Y coordinate markers, but may also be spedfic data that would be used by applications, such as forms processors. The third component is the Bluetooth communication system. In its simplest form, it could be a wireless transmission from the pen to a Bluetooth-enabled PC.

Stop thief. Essential steps for protecting your PC assets

arly one morning in l 984, a

stranger came to Concord, Ont. to visit Canada's first personal computer-based typesetting company, which my wife and I had established a year earlier. He didn't stay long, just long enough to heave a cement block through the window, jump in, and steal our state-of-theart (for 1984) 8086 portable and 286 typesetting PCs. When we arrived to survey the scene the next morning, we had to sadly admit that we had made it easy for the thief. No burglar alarm, computers visible to the outside parking lot and road, no appropriat e insurance coverage,and no external backups of the last ?0 days'work. Yup, we were innocent in those days, and stupid. With the benefit of hindsight, my advice is simple: don't let this happen to you.

necessary, and recognize that there are additional ongoing costs, in time as well as in dollars, involved in any security

Hopefor the besLphn for theToorst

plan. RIBS(keep it simple, silly): Always

The first step in protecting yourself and your computer systems is t o t h ink through a basic security plan: Risk How much could it cost you, if something goes wrong? How much financial or personal loss will you suffer if your computer is stolen, or if your home office or business is burned down? If you' re a hobbyist or student, the answer may be, "not much." If yow PC is central to your livelihood, then neglecting security could bankrupt you. Budget: How much time and money

do you have to hnplement your security p)an? Budget your security plan like you would any other part of your business or household management. Include ongoing training for yourself and employees, if

keep in mind that a security plan is only as good as the people using it. If someone turns a burglar alarm off and props a

door open on a hot day, then goes to lunch, your system is void. If you attach a biometric fingerprint sensor to a PC, then lose the password, you have shut down the PC as effectively as if it had been stolen.

Concenttic cirdes

ageisa basicneed thatisoften ovedooked in the home oflice. Low-cost measures

include: • An anti-static plastic floor pad, especially useful in Canadian winters. • An uninterruptible power supply (UPS)

keepssystems running in the event ofa

power outage, and protects against hardware damage or data loss due to power fiu«tuations. • Environmental controL avoid exposing computersto excessive heat, humidity, water,or conosion (fr om street salt tracked in to the of?ice for example). — Jefffvans

Let's start with a single PC as the focus of concern, then work outward, to site security, insurance, and other services. One way to protect a PC's data against theft or damage by unauthorized users is to deny an intruder the ability to physically use your computer. A wide range of biometric security devices are available to determine whether the person at the keyboard is authorized to use the PC, and if they aren' t, to prevent them from accessing the computer. According to the Webopedia tech dictionary (nwwwebopedis.coin), "In computer security, biometrics refers to authentication techniques that rely on measurable physical characteristics that can be automatically checked. Examples include computer analysis of f ingerprints or speech." If the would-be user's fingerprint, voiceprint, retinal scan, or face scan does not match the list of authorized users, he or she is denied access by the biometric device. Biometric technology can also be used for authentication for entry into or exit from restricted or controfied areas, making electronic purchases, or transferring funds or goods. Companies such as Siemens and SecuGen already o&'er mice with built-in fingerprint scanners, and in the future these scanners will also be appearing on some notebook computers. The computerwould analyzeyour fingerprint to grant you permission to use the computer. Authorization could also be tied to credit card permissions, or facilitating electronic purchases. Examples of biometric products currently available for PC users include: Continued an page ?4

Stopthiop Continuedfrom page 12 • Veridi«om's 5t h S ense Personal Authentication Peripheral (www.veridi-

com.c orn) is a simple, flexible device that allows for fingerprint-based access to a PC through a rugged external finger-

from behind up to 5 cm (2 in.) of bul-

print scanner and software on the PC. For really secure fingerprint scanning, the Touchless Finger Sensor from Biometric Partners Inc. (www.biemetricpsrlneis.corn)uses patented light sources and recognition kernel technology to accuratel y read a user's fingerprint

letproof glass. The Scanlris 2110 from JayPeeTex (www.jslpeelex.corn) scans a user's iris, then allows those authorized to access computers, secured doorways, ATMs, or

Shouldyoubuyinto bionotrttny Biometric technology works, and makes sense for installations where security is a primary concern. and where the IT budgets and infrastructure exist to keep it operating properly all the time. For example, the British government has made extensive use of face recognition technology as part of its anti-terrorist operations. The Sagem Morpho company (waw.morpho.com) sens a Morpho Civil AFIS fingerprint recognition system for government social agencies, to reduce fraud by users who adopt multiple identities to collect multiple benefits. However, for the small business or home office, biometric technology should be examined carefully in terms of return on investment. In many cases, a better option is a combination of lower tech security (locks and alarms), combined with software-based security measures,

such as passwords and encryption. Biometric devices are increasingly finding their place as an identification technology for governments and corporations, not as anti-theft technology for individual PC owners. If this trend continues, expect vigorous debates over the civil liberty and privacy implications of biometric surveillance in the post-Sept. I I world.

One of the simplest, cheapest, and lowest maintenance security measures is to fit valuable equipment (printers, copiers, scanners, monitors, and desktop and laptop PCs) with cable lock or anchor plate systems. Virtually all notebook computers have anchor points for cable locking systems, and desktop PC and printers can be bolted to anchor pad systems that are strong yet unobtrusive.

devices. Every person has aunique pattern to the iris and retina of each eye, and the algorithms (mathematical sets of rules) for recognizing these patterns is now very good. Some big problems with eye scanning systems, however, are their complexity, cost, and tendency to break down. They work great in spy movies, but are — so far — a less attractive option in real life, especially for small businesses. • SpeakEZ Secure Voice Solutions (wwwtneiizcom) is a software-only produrt that compares a stored sample of an authorized user's voice to a live sample, to permit access. It uses most microphone and sound card systems, and is language independent. • FaceOn face recognition software from Symtron Technology (wuw.symlientech.corn) of Taiwan, offers high quality recognition of facial featuresfrom a video image.

Suggested retail prices for the 100, 200, and 200R are $775, $1,305, and $1,855,

Kevin Krempulec, manager of small and medium businessproducts with Symantec in Tomnto, says the new appliance is an offshoot of Symantec's enterprise-level offering, the Ve(ocigaptor, which is designedfor up to 100 users.

Out ofsight, oui of (ahninel) mimi One of the simplest ways to reduce the threat of theft is to be invisible. In a home office, don't set up your equipment where it is visible to someone who comes to the door, or visible through a window. Most thieves case potential targets, often stealing to order for a "customer." If they don't know it's there, they' re less likely to choose you as a victim. One of the most attractive items for thieves is the laptop computer: easy to carry, and readily resold for a substantial

amount of money. In the offfce, laptops should always either be locked away in a secure storage cabinet when not in use, or locked down using some of the cable and lock systems discussed in this article. When on the move with a laptop, never leave it or iis carrying bag visible in your car. Always lock it in the trunk, before you start on your trip. If the would be thief

Once you have a CD or DVD burner, you should set up a backup schedule and stick to it (at least once a week; daily if you produce significant amounts of important data), and move a copy over to a locked storage unit at another location.

Pull up the drutubrtdge One of the best ways to protect your PC is to keep unwanted people out of the place it is located. A deadbolt lock on the computer room door is a basic. A security system or burglar alarm is a must for any size of business. Systems ranging from a few hundred dollars to many thousands, plus monthly security service charges, are worth considering if your computerbased business is worth the money.

Bed tluy TV Oneway to tell if someone has been using your computer, or to capture footage of a thief in action, is to set up a motion-activated video surveillance system that can capture activity o n y ou r p r emises. Remote-security.corn (ww w.remotese(urit)/.com) ofFers corporate surveillance systems for this purpose. Smart video monitoring, where the computer actually has8 degree of understanding of what it is "seeing," is a major goal of military-oriented research. The U.S. DARPA agency has funded a program by Texas Instruments for Robust Video Motion Recognition and Event

Detection (wwwti.corn/research/docs/iuba/). This may lead to products that can analyse what the computer sees and decide whether it's a security threat.

IruureTeurseU Once of the best investments you can make, both in terms of guarding against catastrophic Gnancial losses from theft or Ere aswell as to increase peace of mind, is to properly insure your computer system. For a home PC setup, most insurers will add a "rider" to your basic policy to insure replacement value of your equipment. The price is usuagy quite modest. Though home insurance will not cover all costs, such as those related to the interruption of a home business due to data loss, it does help. If you have a more substantial computer-based business, commercial insurance policies that include clauses for interruption of business costs areavailable and areworth themoney.

CeusteutTdgileuce In general, as the value of your computerrelated activities increases, so should your

concern for the physical security of your system. It's OK to be laissez-faire when you are just doing email and playing

games with your PC. When your family' s Bnancial welfare or your company's succes' sisatstake,you need to focus,createa plan,and make secure computing partof your daily routine. 0

K. we' ve aU heard it before: that security is a serious issue and should not be taken lightly. But just in case you' ve forgotten how important it is to protect your computers and networks, let's do a quick review of some facts. And since we like to make resolutions when the new year strikes, perhaps it is also time to make a resolution to take security seriously. According to the2001 Compurer Crime and Security Survey, put out by San Francisco, C a lif.-based C o mputer Security Institute (CSI, at wwwgncsi.com), nearly 85 percent of 538 computer security experts surveyed said they had experienced some kind of security breach in the last year. Nearly 64 percent said the breach led to financial losses. And we' re not talking a few bucks here. When Melissa virus creator, Richard Power, was sentenced, he pleaded guilty to causing some US$80 migion in losses. That figure is probably not an accurate

For many people — especially those withan "always-on" DSL or cableconnections to the Internet~ e fiberate backs are the most troubling security issue. Every day, personal systems and small networks are p inged, probed, and scanned by those looking to get in and do some mischief. Who is doing this? According to James Cavanagh, a global telecommunications consultant with the Consultant Registry (wwwconsultant-registry.corn, these attacks are likely the result of teenagers looking to have some fun.

100,000 teens are using programs they have pulled from the Internet to break into systems. These "script kiddies" often do it for fun. Where teens once hung out at the mall, they are now hanging out on computers looking to get into your email account and personal 61es. What can you do to protect yourself &om these little mischief-makers? Well, investing in a 6rewaU is a good start. Today, there are several software-based security solutions that anyone can use and that don't require a high level of IT expertise or large amounts of time and money to set up and maintain. Symantec Corp. is a good place to start when you are thinking about security solutions. Its Norton Personal Firewafi 2002 protects your computers kom outside intrusions, such as mahcious hackers. It aUows you to control both inbound and outbound I nternet connections and blocks port scans, a technique many hackers use to see if there are unprotected machines they can break into. But the key components for small businesses are

•

application alert and application contro! — the former ask you whether you want to permit or deny an application or communication to the Internet, and the

latter let you stop an application or program Born accessing the Internet. You should insist on application control when looking at a software-based 6rewaU. This is because hackers accessing a computer or network often try to take over a program or application to either anack the system further or to use the compromised system as a platform to attack other systems. For a denial of service attack, for example, a hacker takes over a computer or network, then launches an attack against other systems from that compromised system. As larger companies get serious about securing their systems, hackers are increasingly turning to home computers and smaU business networks to launch such attacks because they are less secure.

Labs Inc. (www.zcaelsbs.corn) says application control is a key feature in its popular, easy-to-use ZoneA)arm. "The ZoneAlarm solution works by asking a very simple question: What applications do you trust to access the Internet," Felman adds. "This greatly simplifies security for small businesses. It reduces security to a set of simple questions like do you want your Internet Explorer to access the Internet> Do you want your g uicknooks to access the Internet> Or do you want some unknown program called Sub7 t o access the internet? With something like Sub7, you don't know what it is and you certainly will want to stop it from accessing anything." Zone Labs says it h as simplified ZoneAlarm 3.0 and ZoneAlarm Pro 3.0 so they are more intuitive to use, thereby making it easier secure a system or network Both versions feature updated tutorials and improved wizard functions for easy setup. They also have a home-page style overview screen that offers a quick glance at security details and includes more information on the kind of alerts ZoneAlarm can generate. Both versions monitor applications and

components to prevent a hacker &om planting a Trojan-horse type virus onto a system in o rder t o a ttack i t l ater. ZoneAlarm 3.0 comes with several other features, induding support for LAI4 and wirdess networks, both of which are now common in smafi businesses. A free version of ZoneAlarm can be downloaded from the company's Web site. The Pro version is US$39.95 for a single licence and annual updates and renewals are US$19.95. (Prices for multiseat licences are listed at Zone Labs' site.) Another software firewafi worth considering is Tiny Personal Firewafi 2.0. Ben Haidri, vice-president of business development with Santa Clara, Calif.-based Tiny Software (www.tiaysoftwsre.cern), says his company is unique in offering a bidirectional firewafi capable of filtering both applications and protocols for the smalland home olfi cemarket . "A good firewafi must check for application spoofing and needs to be doing such things as checking for MD5 hashes on applications to make sure that Trojans have not shown up and [are not] trying to take over an application," Haidri says. aA lot of companies have 'personal firewafis,' but very few are true firewafi technology." Tiny Personal Firewafi allows users toi set rules for what Internet addresses can be trusted, remote administration, and

to a PC via USB cable, at which point you can use it for streaming video in programs like Microsoft NetMeeting, or capture still images direcdy to the PC at resolutions up to 1,024x768. A fairly good software bundleNetMeeting, Ulead's Photo Express MCE editing software, a monitoring package for security or Webcam use, and Web site creation tools —is included in the box. The camera uses 4 AAA batteries.

theless plays in a few other arenas. Its newest camera, the PC-Cam 300, doubles as both atethered Webcam and a untethered still camera. The PC-Cam comes with 8 MB of onboard flash memory, which holds about 128 shots at the camera's maximum untethered resolution of 640x480 (or if

you prefer, up to 75secondsof audio and video, or up to 34 minutes of straight audio). Back at your desktop, you can drop it into the included baseand hook it

Logitech is a big

player in the peripheral cate-

gory, from mice to keyboards to the now-ubiquitous QuickCam. The ClickSmart is a direct descendant of the QuickCam, but now instead of being tethered to the PC, you can also quicklydetach the camera component and use it as a standalone still camera. Because of this dual nature, the Clickgmart 510 looks more like a tradi-

tional camera than the QuickCam. It can capture still images of up to 1.3 megapixels, and video at up to 640x480 pixels. Hook it up to the PC via USB and it can be used as aWebcam or with applications like NetMeeting. This all similar to other dual-mode cameras we've looked at, but the Logitech ClickSmart 510 has one advantage: it uses removable media instead of internal flash memory. It comes with an 8 M B SmartMedia card, which you can easily replace with a higher-capacity card if you want to take more pictures in the fidd. The camera i s compatible with Windows 98, Me, 2000, and XP. It's powered by four AAA batteries.

Nex II OigflolAudio pieyer From:Frontier Labs

www.coolestgsdgeLcom Estimatedprice: U5599 If you' re looking for an ultra-compact MP3 player with the abiTity to store a lot of songs, the Nex II may be what you need. The basic player is as small as most of the other CompactFlash-based models (the IUo, Lyra, Nomad II, etc.), but distinguishes itself by including a Type II CF slot and boasting IBM microdrive compatibility. You can buy the Nex ll with a CF card or microdrive included, but if

you already have your own

high capacity cards, you can buy the basic

player for a very low price. The player is fairly simple,

for the most part. A wheel along the side can be used for scrolling through menus and selecting the right track The player is

programmable, and features useradjustable EQ settings.You can get data to

the player via USB or by copying your audio flles directly to the media using a CF reader attached to your PC. lf we have a complaint with the device, it's that it doesn't support folders, which means that if you' re using a 1 GB microdrive, you'fl have to wade through a lot of tracks on the mini LCD screen to flnd the one you want. (With the microdrive, any shocks to the player may also result in stuttering, which means you may be better off with high-capacity CF cards. over-

cious codes will begin to perform certain tasks: rewriting the registry, accessing the email address book o f Mi c rosoft Outlook, trying to access the Internet or an unknown server throu@ a program. If this happens, a heuristic engine alerts the user or adminstrator, allowing the system to be shut down or the process isolated before the real damage is done. If you think a system is infected, but you haven't installed antivirus software, take a look at HouseCa)L This online offering from Cupertino, Calif.-based Trend Micro I nc. (www.trendmicro.com) recently took first prize in an online antivirus test conducted by AV-Test.org. HouseCag uses Internet Explorer or Netscape —and the ActiveX technology built into both browsers — to scan a machine's hard drive. If your browser does not have ActiveX, HouseCaB offers a downloadable Java installer to conduct the scan. If HouseCag finds a virus, it tells you about and how to get rid of it. It wiB even helpyou create a Rescue Disk for repairing a co m promised system. (However, it has to be created on an uninfected machine.) Finally, even if you instag a firewag, antivirus software, and other security solutions, in the end it aB comes down to the human factor. Security is process, not a singe solution or set of solutions. It is amazing how often the best security setups fail because someone was not following the pmcedures. Some of the most basic procedures are the following: • Never shut off your antivirus progf allis.

• Never open an email attachment lrom someone you do not know. • Automate a ntivirus a nd f ir e waB updates. It's one of the best ways to protect yow system. • If employees are mobile or work in a remote location, insist that they log in and areauthenticated before they can accessthe company network • Change p asswords often and keep them secret. Taking any of these steps could save you a considerable amount of gdef, time, and money. Don't follow any of these

steps and you might as well leave your doors unlocked. 0

DodonaMobile Pant Fram:Leyi Strauss& Co. htlpf/wwwdcckefsccm Esiimlted price;S80 W hen w e fi r st

heard the name, I our reaction was, " but afi o f o ur are pants mobile!" In reality, th e M o bile Pant is for people who live a mobile lifestyle, with a lot of gadgets and other items that would b ecome po«ket-clutter in a regular pair of pants. In the past, you' ve been able to buy cargo-style pants with lots of pockets, but they' ve typicaUy been an informal kind of pant, and not suited for business. The Mobile Pant solves that problem with a business-casual pant with a number of i nternal and hidden pockets

•

designed to take up the excess technology you have without making you look hke you' re about to go fishing. Tnfo of the hidden pockets are inside the regular hip-level pocketholes,hidden behind discrete zippers designed to look like a seam, and are big enough to hide your wallet, a pair of sunglasses, or even a small digital camera. There is also astowawaypocket running along the right outside seam of the pants, large enough to hide a PDA or cell phone. AU of the pockets are made from mesh. The hidden pocket format is nice, even if you don't have a lot of gadgets —it allows you to separate the contents of your pockets into smaller piles, and if you' re concerned about keeping money or cert ain papers safe,you can put them in the secret pockets. The pants are designed to carry a fair amount of weight, though they will start to look like the are bulging if you cram too much into the pockets. The biggest worry you'U have is making sure ag of the pockets are empty before throwing them in the wash! One complaint: the Mobile Pant is available in men's sizes only, which is unfortunate if you' re a gadget-loving gaL

there's no technology aspect here, t h ough: Sanyo has a deal with

pocket specificagy designed for your cellularphone, and a pocket for your sunglasses. Most of these pockets, apart from the cash and Palm pockets, are included in the removable lining, so if you want to lighten up the coat for warmer weather, you' ll lose a few pockets in the process. The Sanyo raincoats are extremely well designed, and for that reason alone, they' ll cost you more than the average jacket. For th e mobile professional, though, it may be indispensable. (Note: while Sanyo also has a raincoat line for women, these models don't feature the Multi-Function Pocket System. Alas.) 0

Pocket System in its raincoats, with one pocket designed speclfically to hold a Palm handheld unit. There are number of different models available, each available in three colours (black,mulch, and bark). We had a chance to look at the Stockbridge model (US$375).

A tablet for the rest of us

If you want to create art on a computer screen, you really need to throw away your mouse and replace it with a graphics tablet. Because theseperipherals are pressure-sensitive, they allow you to draw lines that change over their length, just like ink on paper. No more sterile, perfect computer shapes.

and more for artwork and precisioncomputer aided design (CAD) work But for the most part, these were high-end, professional tools at a high-end price. Wacom's new Graphire2 would like to be the graphics tablet for the rest of us. It's affordable and comes in a choice of iMac-like colours. Connecting to a computer through a powered USB port, it' s compatible with recent PCs (Windows 98 or later) and Macs (OS 8.5 to 10.1). Owners of older Macs and PCs may still be able to Find the original serial-port model. It includes a cordless, battery-less pressure-sensitive pen (complete with digital eraser) and mouse, and comes bundled with PC and Mac versions of Adobe Photoshop LE and Corel Painter Classic, so users can plunge right into I'teeing up their artistic souls. It will also work with any other graphic software, particularly products that support pressure sensitivity, a feature that mouse usersnever knew was there. AU the Painter tools are pressure sensitive, but so are several Photoshop, PaintShop Pro, and CorelDraw tools. In Photoshop, for instance, more pressure produces a darker rubber stamp or a fatter stroke. Like in the real world, a light touch results in lighter, almost transparent lines. While you can get these effects by mousing around, the process is hardly intuitive. With a tablet and pen, you just draw. Graphics tablets like the Graphire2 can also be used with business applications. Microsoft'sOffice XP, for example, supports handwriting recognition, letting you write with the Graphire's pen onto the tablet into the new versions of Word and Excel. In Powerpoint, you can write onto presentation slides. Similarly, the

V T a r twork from scratch using software like Adobe Photoshop, drawing with your mouse on a computer screen lacks the expressivenessof natural media — ofpens and pencils, paintbrushes, and chalk on real, textured paper. Even software that tries to simulate natural m edia — Procreate Mnter, for example —comes up short when used with a mouse.

The mouse, with three programmable buttons, and a scroll wheel is a precise, optical model, and connects to the Graphire (and the computer) wirelessly, making it the match of standalone models from the likes of Microsoft and Logitech. While featuring precise, 1,01 5 dots per

inch (dpi) resolution, Wacom'spopularly priced Graphire is aimed more at home users and hobbyists than at professional artists and CAD-users. That's because of its size: it's active area of 9.2x12.8 cm (3.65x5 in.) is more like working with a

One of our favourite features is the swivel-tilt LCD viewing screen, which allows you to hold the camera at unusual angles— for example,above your head or near the ground for a worm's eye viewand still see your composition. Among the pre-programmed shooting modes are scenics, which set the camera for maximum depth of Beld, and a panorama mode (which we Brst saw on Casio digital cameras), where you can stitch together several &ames into a single larger image. In panorama mode, the image of a shot you' ve just taken remains in view on the LCD screen to help you line up the next shot. Canon's RAW format allows advanced amateurs to access the raw image data as it comes off the image sensor, before it is processed by the camera's software. This permits certain Bmdamental changes to the image, such as resetting the white balance. With the RAW format, you can do things like set the white balance after you' ve taken the picture. The main disadvantage of the format, however, is the inconvenience of having to acquire the

images using a twain driver, since image editors do not understand the format.

Megamegapheh Continued Pom page 48 Mac 05 8.6 to9.1. • Comes with proprietary rechargeable lithium ion battery andcharger. • Saves images in JPEG, RAW, or AVIformats. • Built-in microphone andspeaker. Canon's PowerShot line has recently included a number of very compact models, including one of ou r p erennial favourites, the S100 (which has been replaced by the S110). While it's not quite as small as the S100/Sl IO, the S40 is still fairly tiny, and easily 6ts into a coat pocket. That it's a four megapixel model is all the more impressive.

The shutter and zoom are both located on the top of the camera, within easy reach of the fore6nger. It has a directional tilt-panel located on the edge between the top and the rear of the camera, which allows you to scroll through menus and can be depressed in the centre to make selections. Another nice touch is that the lens cover doubles as the on/off switch for the camera. O ne interesting thing about t h e powerShot S40 is its playback mode. Instead of switching a selector dial &om recordto playback,you keep the selector dial in the mode you had it in (manual,

night, movie, etc.), and depress another button on the back of the camera This puts you into playback mode but agows you to stay ready to capture a shot —while in playback mode, you can depress the shutter to capture the next image. It means you never have to miss a shot while fumbling for the selector diaL

Should this camera be included in a roundup of four-plus megapixel cameras? We raise the question because the camera will take six megapixel images, although the image sensor carries just 33 megapixels. However, it is Fujifllm's unique Su per CCD image sensor, and t hat

requires some explanation. According to Fujifgm, the SuperCCD uses individual sensors that are both larger and oriented differently than in a standard CCD image sensor. The individual SuperCCD sensors are octagonal and arranged in a honeycomb pattern. In a

normal CCD design, they are rectangular and arranged in a rectangular gri(L According to Fuj(Sm, the SuperCCD is able to capture more information l'rom the scene than a standard CCD, therefore creating a six megapixel image from 3.3 million points of data is entirely within

feature,because itmakes panorama creation a real snap. When you' re in panoram a mode, theedge ofeach shot featuresa ghost image from the other side of the previous shot, allowing you to line up each shot exactly, creating exceptionally smooth panoramas right on the camera. The controls on the Casio QV-4000 sre, for the most part, very economical and easy to use. There is a tiny button on the rear of the camera, much like the nubstyle mouse controller on a notebook computer, which can be tilted and depressed for scrolling through menus and making selections. A "layered" selector dial allows you to choose between camera modes (manual versus automatic on one layer, and n ormal/movie/ burst/panorama on the other). We could quibble that the on/off switch might be mistaken for a zoom control, but it's easy enough to get that straight when you' ve been using the camera for a bit.

w HANDS O N m the technology's capabibty. We spent a lot of time with the FinePix 6900, taking nearly ),000 images with it. Based on this, we think the camera can compete in this group of four-plus megapixel models. Some of the appealing features of this

camera are tbe 6X optical zoom and a fast image processor. Fujffilm seems to have done its homework on its colour processing too, because the 6900's output is gor-

The last time we did a digital camera roundup, the Minolta line was fairly basic... lower resolutions, not too many features, and fairly competitive prices. Midway through 2001, Minolta introduced new models that went from the back of the pack right to the cutting edge ofthe consumer market.The Dimage 7 is the top end of the new line. The Dimage 7 features an LCD monitor as well as an optical viewfinder, and when the viewfinder mode is set to automatic, it will switch between the two when youreye comes up to the opticaL The optical viewfinder uses a smaller LCD display, which givesyou a true whatyou-see-is-what-you-get image, but suffers a bit from graininess. This becomes problematic in manual focus mode, because you may not be able to focus with as much preci sion as you'd like when using the optical viewfinder. That's the only real concern we had

with the camera, thong)I. Otherwise, the picture quality was excellent, and the usab?Tity was topnotch. Those used to analogue SLR models will appreciate the analogue-style zoom and the focus ring, especiagy.

like it should be a manual zoom or focus control but is actually just decorative. The real zoom control, located on a lever near the shutter, provides up to 3X optical, but has a bit of a latency problem —once you depressthe lever, it takes a portion of a second to react. This may be the only real problem with the camera, as it has all of Olympus' usual features, induding manual control over most of the photo settings, aswell as the abiTity to capture images in TIFF mode. If you' re planning to take most of your shots in the «amera's highest resolution, though, you' ll probably want to upgrade the SmartMedia card to something that will hold more shots.

high-quality Carl Zeiss lens is larger because it has 5X optical zoom capability and a manual focus ring. Because it's so much heavier than the body, the tripod mount has been moved to the lens component. Making this configuration more usable, the lens swtvds up and down. The Cyber-shot has a number of other nice features, induding one that automatically zooms in on the item in the centre of the screen when using manual focus so you can be sure you' re getting the right picture element in focus. The flash is also tucked into the lens until you need it —if the camera senses you need it, the flash automatically pops up when you pressthe shutter. If you'd prefer to use an external Bash, a mounting seat is included. One complaint about this model is that the 16 MB MemoryStick storage is a bit small for a five megapixd camera (it only holds seven shots at the highest resolu-

tion), so you'B pmbably want to buy a Sony made its name in the digital camera world with the Iloppy disk-based Mavica,

bigger card. At the time of writing, 128 MB cards were about 5250 eadh CJ

but where the company is making real strides is with its Cyber-shot line. The DSC-F707 is one of the newest models in that line, and at &re megapixels, is pushing the resolution envelope. It's also push-

ing the designenvelope, asSony haswith several earlier models. The Brat thing you'B notice is that the DSC-F707 is particularly lens-heavy. 'IIM

pmcess.The image is created by applying three transparent dye layers, plus a protective overcoat to the paper base. In order to make a print, you connect the camera to the printer using the supplied USB cable, then control the printer via the menu that appears on the camera's LCD screen. We used the CP-10 with an S300 Diip'tal Hpb. The S300 is a slightly larger version of Canon's original S100 Hph, which is about the same width and height as a credit card. The S300 uses tbe same 2.1 megapixd sensor, but ofFers a 3x opti«al zoom, compared to the S100's 2x zoom (the S100 has been refreshed and is now the S110). We were very enthusiastic about the S100 when we first tested it, and the S300 trades olf a slightly bigger body for a longer zoom lens. If you already own a Canon digital camera, the CP-10 will make a tidy carryalong printer that makes excellent prints. And like the Polaroid, because the prints from the CP-10 are relatively small, you' ll get great looking prints, even kom the budget-priced A series cameras. Canon seems to be trying to make the product appeal to a youth/fun audience, as it also offers adhesive-backed paper for printing images as stickers. Canon also makes a dye-sublimation printer that outputs up to 4x6 prints.

While it might be argued that $300 is a lot to pay for an inkjet printer that prints only on 4x6 paper, this one-tri«k pony does its duties very welL Another desirable feature is its compact

size —22.4x12x23 cm (8.8x4.7x9.1 in.)whichmeans itcan betucked away unobtrusively, something that's harder to do with a full-size inkjet. The unit includes memory card slots for Type I and II CE SM, and Sony Memory Stick It uses a single threecolour (cyan, magenta and yeBow) ink cartridge. We were initially dubious that this ink system could produce decent blacks. but the print samples were excellent —better in our estimation than the PhotoSmart 1315 discussed below. Setup is as straightforward as plugging the unit in and installing the cartridge. A monochrome LCD readout shows a simple menu system through whi«h you select size of print (choices are 4x6, wafietsize, and thumbnail), range of images to be printed, and number of copies. In our test, the PhotoSmart 100 printed 10 borderless prints in 27.5 minutes for an average of just under three minutes per print. HP's 4x6 printer paper is actually slightly longer than 6 in., with a perforated strip on one end that can be removed

edgesof the paper, so youcan queue up a number of imagesand out will come a roll of borderless 4x6 prints. While the Epson brochure states the unit will output a 4x6 print in less than one minute, we found that to be exaggerated (Epson is not alone in stating print speeds optimistically). Using the settings for best quality output, we found it took 40 minutes to print 10 4x6 prints using roll paper —about four minutes per print. One minor issue we had with tbe roB paper was that once cut, the 4x6 prints were excessively curled. Reverse-curling t h e p r inted s trip overnight before cutting it apart into separate prints reduced the curling consider-

once the print is made. The strip provides a gripping area for the printer as it makes borderless prints. If you want to perform image correction on your pictures before printing them, you can connect the unit to a computer (Windows only) via the induded USB port and send print jobs to it as you would with a normal printer.

Technically, the printer offers 2,880x720 resolution and six-colour printing. The 785EXP includes one PC Card slot (a CF adapter is included and adapters for other card formats are available). For image previewing, an optional 1.6-inch colour LCD is available for about $100. One interesting feature, also found on

We printed samples from our archive of images taken with several cameras with resolutions ranging from one megapixel to six megapixels, and found the print quality of the 4x6 prints was outstanding. We printed approximately 60 4x6 prints before the printer gave an error message indicating that the cartridges needed changing, so the cost of the ink plus paper print — with one qualification. We hadn' t loaded the printer driver onto a PC, so we couldn't read the ink level display menu. We changed both cartridges, but it may have been the casethat the black cartridge wasn't depleted. This would have improved the cost per print rating. The 785EXP can also be used as a standard inkjet printer, and comes with USB and parallel ports, plus Windows and Mac drivers. The printer accepts up to legalsize paper, and works with the full range of Epson photo papers including precut 4x6 and 4x20 in. panorama sheets.

While Epson offers an optional 1.6-inch colour LCD for previewing images, the PhotoSmart has a built-in 2.5-inch colour screen. The Epson has a single PC Card slot, and accepts the most common kinds of digital camera memory cards with the appropriate adapters. The HP unit has three memory card slots, one to accommodate Cp I and II cards (including IBM's microdrive), one for SM cards, and the third for Sony MemorySticks. While the HP unit does not offer a

paper roll bolder, it does incorporate a special 4x6 photo paper bin into the letter-size paper tray to ac«omodate this

common size of photo print paper. One notable ddference is with the ink system: while the Epson uses six colours (cyan, light cyan, magenta, light magenta, yellow, and black), the HP unit stays with the more standard four-colour array

(cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). Theoretically, tbe two additional inks allow a six-colour printer to reproduce more subtle variations in hue. On its own, the HP's output (using HP-

brand paper) wasvery good, but in sideby-side comparisons, the Epson's colours are richer and more accurate. Colours were pleasing, although a slight corduroy pattern could be detected on some of our print samples, an artefact of inkjet spray pattern. Overall, the images were very

pleasing, with the prints reminding us of postcards. The printer has a setting called ACE (automatic colour enhancement) that noticeably improves the saturation of the images without much impact on prmtmg times. The pri ntersoftware makes good use of the built-in screen, allowing for some minor image correction, photo rotation, and cropping. However, we found the onboard image processor was quite slow, and we had to wait a few moments for the image to appear onscreen once we selected it. L ike t h e E pson 7 85EXP, t h e photoSmart 1315 is also a full inkjet printer. It comes with a parallel and a VSB port, along with Windows and Macintosh drivers. C2

Albums are essentiafiy folders containing shortcuts to groups of images, making them easy to browse. Photo Discs are more powerful, allowing you to store ifie listings and thumbnails to catalogue your Bbrary of images on CD or other removable media. Anyone who deals with clipart collections —or who has owned a diytal aunera for more than a few months — wifi rejoice at this capability. One disappointment, however: the Photo Discs catalogue doesn't refiect any folder structure on your CDs; instead, afi of the images are in one long list. The Search view works much like Windows Search, but adds the ability to search on image properties and embedded metadata. And, naturally, it can sear«h for oflline images within Photo Discs catalogues. When it comes to processing your images, ACDSee 4.0 now in«ludes so many features that it takes a new kind of toolbar to access them. For example, «li«k on the Edit button and a secondary bar appears below the main toolbar, showing the available editing functions: Convert (to another format), Resize, Rotate, brightness and contrast), and Editor (wh ic h la u nches A C D 's FotoCanvas or other bitmap editor).

If you select the Enlarge Or Reduce To option, you can quickly changeabunch of images to onestandard size— agreatfeature forWeb page design.

of ACDSee 4.0, you'B get two useful plugin modules: FotoCanvas 1.1, a remarkably capable bitmap editor; and FotoAngelo 1.1, a unique dialogue-box operated slideshow creator. Both plugins have been updated substantially. FotoAngelo, for example, can now add text slides, and FotoCanvas has a new Clone brush. The only downside with ACDSee 4.0 is that unfortunately, as so often happens, the major rewrite has created a number of minor bugs, glitches, and inconsistencies. Most notably, launching ACDSee 4.0 in a folder containing 1,000 images or more (not an entirely unlikely scenario, for heavy users) can result in a delay of a minute or more before the program appears. Also, ACDSee can occasionally crash when previewing video «lips. (You can easily disable this feature, but it's a shame it's not more usable.) There's also an accumulation of otherwise trivial i nterface idiosyncrasies: mouse focus doesn't always default to where you'd expect it; audio won't stay muted when previewing video clips; dragy'ng files out of the ACDSee list causes the list to jiggle; and so on. None of these are serious, but together they somewhat erode the overall experience. Still, ACD Systems is very much aware of these issues, and in mid-November reported that a substantial decimal-point update was imminent. Considering the company's solid track record with previous releases of ACDSee (for example, the quick release of version 3.1), there's little reason to doubt that these rough edges will be smoothed out fairly expeditiously. Despite the slight teething troubles, ACDSee 4.0 in its current form is stifi very much a worthwhile upgrade. Microsoft has put more image management into recent versions of Windows, but ACDSee 4.0 goes far beyond those basics, tackling just about every imaginable graphics

ACDSee 4.0 should be more than enough for the simpler, on-the-fiy processing that average users are likely to neetL ACDSee 4.0 abounds with other useful features, too: Generate File Listing creates a text file containing a detailed directory listing of the current folder; Contact Sheet creates thumbnail index of selected images; and Print Contact Sheet prints out a sbnfiar index page.

Logitech's Wheel Mouse Optical is very basic, with two buttons and a scroll wheel down the middle (which can also be used as a third button when you install the MouseWare software included in the box). It works with either Mac or PC, and can be plugged into a USB or PS/2 port. This mouse has an 800 dpi sensor, for twice the performance of previous optical mice. It also comes in a stylish cherry red. So, what more could you want?

Well, sometimes people want to cut the cords, too. The Cordless Optical Mouse

mouse itself requires two AA batteries (two are included). A special note, before you buy: optical mice often don't work very well on reflective surfaces like glass or mirrors, and sometimes won't work on extremely dark

The 1.8in«h LCD offers a convenient way to review shots.and frame shots if looking through the viewfinder is not good enough — keeping mind that the LCDrequires a lot of battery power.

Database modules weakest links By torquesSurveyer oth Corel and Microsoft have venerable desktop databases in their office productivity suites: Corel's Paradox is from the mid-1980s and Microsoft's Access I'rom the early 1990s. Both are dearly showing their age. The problem is that these programs are barely appropriate for standalone use and certainly are not suitable for workgroup. mobile, Web, and distributed applications. In short, these are vestigial databases, hanging on like the appendix and tonsils, because the body central has not figured how to get rid of them. Here is a short list of the major problems with Paradox and Access:

1.They departlargely from SQL 92 and SQL 99 standards for query, update, and control syntax. 2. Some of these departures are either omissions or partial implementations of security, privacy, and referential integrity features critical to modern mobile and distributed database tasks. 3. The databases lack the replication, transaction. and messaging interfaces that are vital for distributed applications. 4. The data store engines and file formats are getting further and further behind the state of the art available even in

compact form for desktops from the major vendors. 5. The database programs do not offer a smooth upgrade path. Paradox is the worst, but perhaps because Accesshas lingered with an outmoded let database engine when an alternative has been available, Access is more blem-

ished. 6. Both programs force users to learn separate GVI d evelopment tools, scripting languages, and stored proce-

In these days of HTML, SQL, XML, VBA, Java, and C/C++, the last thing I want to do is master a diS'erent, and in this case incomplete, toolseh I do not need to learn a new and obsolete programming language like Object PAL or Access macro language. I do not need to learn the idiosyncrasies of a database format that runs effectively on one platform — Windows, and really only desktop Windows. Some might argue that desktop databases relieve hard-pressed database and system administrators of having to create and maintain isolated desktop systems for end users. My counter argument is that a system with MySQL or desktop SQL Server is much easier to develop and can be much upgraded to server or distributed use more readily ii' required. Some others might argue that desktop databases at least help teach basic database concepts to end users —which is the only reason I can see for giving the databases the ratings noted below.

Where goesthe cilia marked As we have seen throughout this threepart review, oflice suites are hardly brimming with innovation and new, inventive features. Of «ourse, there are feints in that direction with speech and handwriting modules, plus new functions in messaging, but these are hardly complete and well-integrated features.

XML support is slow in appearing,

ing from two major quarters. First, open source and/or discounted suites will attraca attention. Sun's Star Office has features very close to par w it h Corel Wordperfect Oflice and Microsoft Ofiice XP — and it has the advantage of running on several OSes, being open source, and

free. (However. open sour«e is not a ticket to success, as the very slow-to-develop Nets«ape/Mozilla venture has proven.) The second competing trend may come from other development clusters. For example, document creation has heretofore been dominated by the word pro-

cessing and desktop publishing paradigms. Yet Web, mobile, and TV/rich media output are becoming as important as —or even more important than — purely text-oriented presentation of information. Vendors such as Macromedia, Continuedon page 78

The databases have become redundant and vestigial, clinging to a client-server and standalone desktop database model that is completely inappropriate to modern Web and mobile needs.

What sin Stmofllcn0.0 Staroffice has a fairly complete set of standard office features and modules. The word processing and presentation tools are nearly on a par with their competitive counterparts. StarOIBce's database and HTML editor are steps ahead, while the Draw and Formulas programs have no exact counterpart in either the Corel or Microsoft suites. However, there are a few areas in which StarOffice 6.0 is clearly

Microsoft's Pubhsher and Smart Tags or Corel's Oxford Dictionary and Quick View Plus. The most serious deficiency in Staroffice 6.0 is the previously noted lack of collaborative/groupware features and a thinness in Web features. StarOffice is dependent on either ASP- or Perl-based servers, whereas its competitors can produce HTML/JavaScript-based 6les that can run locally or on a server.

has dramatically improved. It is now one of the fastest office suites, with quick startup and processing times. Third. Staroffice has become promiscuous, reading and writing all the latest Office XP and WordPerfect Office formats, along with half a dozen other popular formats. By using DTD-based XML for its own file storage formats, Staroffice data and files are immediatdy accessible to a wide range of XML-savvy programs. It could become astandard for offi ce data inter-

change. Staroffice 6.0 also bas an improved Basic-like (similar to CorelScript and VBA) macro language. In firct, the only area in which the program has not followed suit is in active online support. And Sun is prom ising more collaborative/groupware features as it gets its XML-based file formats properly tuned. In short, for free on Windows, Solaria

and Linux, Staroffice isgoing to bea formidable competitor. It was remarkably stable yet fast during our testing. In fact StarCHBce beta displaced Office XP off our test madune because of Olfice XP's constant activation hassles (we change our hardware often, which requires "reacthmtion"). Staroffice is also several steps ahead of Microsoft Works and other "home office" suites on features, speed, and price. The Starof6ce 6.0 Beta is usable now in Windows (Linux and Solaris versions were not tested). It can be downloaded from Sun M icrosystems' Web site

(wwwsnn.«om). The 6nal version will be available in the first quarter of 2002. (Note: Staroffice 6.0 beta now supports Simpli6ed Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.) 0 JacquesSwveyercsn be reachedat jbsurv@lhephotofinishes.com.

It performs registry, program integrity, and auto-protect scans, and checks for fiee space and to see whether the virus definitions are up-to-date. If you' re using Windows NT, 2000, or XP, this feature is available only when you are logged on as an administraton Using the single-dick scan, I was able to correct several problems that I was not aware of but that were slowing down my s ystem. I n pr evious versions of SystemWorks, I would get a noti6cation that no 6x was automatically found and I spent a good deal of time hunting for one or trying to go into the registry to find and fix the problem myself. Many of the Norton Utilities features have also been streamlined and updated with the disk fragmentation and optimization functions working smoothly. A few people have told me that previous

versions of SystemWorks often defaulted to Windows' built-in disk fragmentation solution if they were running Windows NT or 2000. They rightly complained that thisdefeated thepurpose ofhaving a separate (and arguably more thorough) utility. This seems to have been 6xed in SystemWorks 2002. The Norton CleanSweep program also worked well, agowing me to easily remove several old programs and 6les, leaving behind few stray DLLs and file extensions. SystemWorks helped me 6nd and remove any remaining strays quickly. And managmg cache 6les and coohes remams as easy as it was in the previous versions. Some of the most interesting tweaking to System Works is i n t h e N orton AntiVrrus toolset. The AntiVirus interface allows you to seequiddy whether features such asAuto-Protect, email scanning, and script blocking are on, and when the last full system scan was conducted.

installed se parately from the SystemWorks CD. If installation of software, for example, creates problems with your system, GoBack allows you to revert to the preinstall version of your hard drive. This version of GoBack is a Personal Edition, which lacks some of the Qexibility, customization, and password protection options of the Deluxe Edition. GoBack requires about 10 percent of your hard drive space. I can't really say how well GoBack works, as I have not needed it (knock wood). But, even with the creation of a Rescue Disk (something you s h ould do aft e r in stalling SystemWorks), I'm thankful I have the option of reverting back to a pervious version of my hard drive if something goes terribly wrong. I once had my system crash badly due to a badly installed program. While the Rescue Disk allowed me to recover my system enough to back up important files and programs, I still needed to reformat and reinstall everything from scratch. If GoBack can prevent that, it is well worth

In the mail and communication arena some of the things being done in peer-topeer messaging and software agents may cause Web. personal, and mail massaging services to split oif into its own market.

viith built-in presets, multiple visual plugins, and support for audio plugins to enhancethe sound output.ITunes 2.0 adds all these capabilities and remains free, which is good news for everyone, except thosewho paid $60 forSoundDam. ITunes 2.0 also features faster built-in CD burningthan version 1.0 and a slightly tweaked inter face. Now the only thing missing is skins, and it's doubtful Apple will ever allow those, as the company tends to be rather cool toward any sort of interface modification. If you want a skinable p(aye( for DS 9 or X, look at Audion (wwwpaniccom/aud(Dry)its developer even offers a discount for formerSoundJam owners. For the rest of us iTunes2.0 is a worthy upgrade,even ifyou aren't planing to get an iPod. ITunes 2.0 is available for both OS 9 and X.

VieVoice $.0 for 0$ X eow sblppieg IBN (www.ibm.corn/sohware/speech/maC/ostt/) has announced that it is bringing its voicerecognition software Viayoice to Mac 05 X. The new version of Viayoice 3.0 is in fact for 05 X only and wiU feature many improvements over the 05 9 version.

Viayoic e forX can be used to controlthe finder, open applications, run AppleScripts, and dictate text into any word processor. Previous Viayoice softwam required the use of either a special Viayoice note pad or Nicmsoft Word. Viayoice for X is available for U5$170 directly from IBN. It comes bundledwith a USB headset mic. Users of pmvious versions will be able to upgrade to thenew software without buying the whole

10 classic arcade machine emulatorsites

Building an arcade cabinet Part 1: Finding the parts pie who had actually taken the next step:

building arcade boxes for playing MAME hen I was a teenager in the '80s, I, likemany of my contemporaries, misspent my youth — literally — a quarter at a time. I would get hooked on the latest video games, and can still remember the quarter-sucking fascination that came

with playing such c)ernie arcade games as Space I n vaders, A steroids, B erserk, Centipede, Defender, Star Castle, Tempest, Gravitar, and many, many more. That, of course, was years ago, and I haven'tbeen in an arcade foryears.Recently, however, I came across tbe Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator (MAME), which allows you to download software versions of the ROM Bles derived from the original arcade games. While it let me play my favourite games on my PC without needing a bag full of quarters, it just wasn't the same as playing the games on an arcade machine. Playing games like Missile Command or Stargate on a keyboard or with a dinky little gamepad was often sn exercise in frustration. I wanted to get closer to the actual arcade gaming experience. On the Web, I was able to find some peo-

games. The boxes use authentic game contons, and joysticks. My interest was peaked, and while I know my way around a soldering iron, I was daunted by the idea of the woodworking required to build a cabinet. I mentioned this to a friend who had a similarly misspent youth, but who also had extensive woodworking knowledge and tools. Thus, a plan was hatched.

initially, we planned to split the work me doing the research and my friend looking into what was required woodworking-wise. One thing we knew we would need was real arcade controls. Though I remembered nuuung across a site on spare parts for pinball machines (I own an electromechanical pinball game from the late-'70s called Wild Card), we thought there was probably a local source for arcade controls. This is where we truly lucked out. we hit the jackpot with the Toronto Coin Machine Continued on page 84

This is easily one of the better sites out there on this subject, primarily because of the detail it offers. Plans for building your own cabinet are available for downloading, along with plenty of information about designing such things as the control panel, installing a working coin door, and selecting and configuring a computer for the unit. wwwmembers http-t.nyctsiba.home,net/sean hat/arcade/

4. Toronto pinimli Exchange •If you happen to live in the Toronto and are interested in either buying an arcade unit or new orused controls,considermaking a visit to the Oakville business. Its handson expertise with all kinds of arcade controls and systems was an invaluable source of information when I was buiiding my arcade unit. And like the name implies, it also carries pinball machines thatyou can buy orrentin an exchange program. wwwpinbatlutchange.corn/

S. Michael Wsilem's Super Xyborg 3 • If you' re interested in how one of my arcadeunits tumed out,check out this page on Michael Willem's site. There are extensive pictures of the unit in various stages of assembly, often annotated to descri be exactly what you're seeing. The site is short on fine detail, but it does give a pictorial ovenriew of some of the etectmnics behind building your own MANE arcade unit.

CmdrTaco is one of the principals behind the well-known Slashdot news referral service. I n a ddition t o f o unding Slashdot, he has built his own MANE arcade unit, which is detailed on these pages.Not as detailed as LuSiD's page (to whom CmdrTaco acknowledges his debt),but it has many pictures of the building process. As well, for those who are building a Linux-based arcade system, you can download game control software here. www.undrtaco.net/jubei/

IJameascbive •If you are interested in the history ofarcade games, thissite is wortha visit.It has sectionsdevoted to pinball and video games—the latter featuring information on games such as Dragon'sLair, classic Atari, and Sega Vectorgames. The site also has a FAO page and article archive. www.gamearchbe.corn/

g. The Curtis MAME Unemuialed ROMs Databme •Even though there are MAME ROMs formore than 3,000 arcade games. there are still plenty to be emulated. The folks behind this site are tracking the effort s of those copying the ROMs from specifi c games. These pages provide a fascinating glimpse into the technical aspectsof converting old game code into PC-playable versions. www.unemutated.com/

Tadtrcade Cabiaet Etuunides page • Ibis page is comprised entirely of links to otherpages and sites of other enthusiastswho are documenting the construction of their own arcade games. The links include people who have completed units , as well as those tackling particular issues, like game controls. The searchengine builtinto the page makes this a wealth of information for would-

English no longer rules the Web WASHINGTON, D.C.— For the first time in the history of the World Wide Web, native English speakers are no longer the dominant demographic group on the Internet, thanks to a surge of more than 100 million new Internet users in 2001, a report released in mid-November found. The third annual Stateof the Internet Report, produced jointly by the U.S. Internet Council and International Technology 8i Trade Assodates Inc., (ITTA, online at www.uucorg) found the new users —mainly &om the South Pacific region — helped shrink the share of native English speakers online to roughly 45 percent of the estimated total of 500 million Web users. Within the United States, 59 percent of households have home Internet access, a 15 percent increase over last The report also details significant pmgress in eirorts to eradicate the so-called "digital divide" that persists along racial, gender and economic lines. Women now make up 52 percent of U.S. Internet users, and 51 percent of African-American households are online, a 35 percent growth over 2000 and only slightly below the 60 percent penetration rate among white households. Outside the United States, however, the digital divide is still quite wide, primarily between countries in the northern and southern hemispheres, the report notes. The study highlight's an increasing desire among countries to regulate the Internet at the local and regional level, as nations grapple with the prospect of enfordng their sovereign laws across an international medium.

When we asked about parts and controllers for arcade games, we were taken through a hallway filled with '80s and '90s vintage pinball games, into an area crammed to the gills with old arcade games. Nirvana! We were ofiered a deal on a set of old cabinets minus their game electronics.

"The result, where they' ve been successfiul, has been pockets around the world where there is not as much innovation, and access to the Net is limited." Afghanistan, for example, has completely banned all use of the Internet within its borders, Myers said. As part pril 2001. Chinese authorities have shut down more than 2,000 Internet cafes, and an additional 6,000 have been forced to suspend operations. The Chinese government also is carefully building a stand-alone Chinese Web that has been purged of content and opiniondeemed inappmpriateor subversive,effectively creating a "cyber wall" between the Internet in China and the rest of the world, the report notes. Heightened security concerns in the wake of the Sept. ll t errorist attacks also have increased government involvement in the day-to-day affairs of the Internet, Myers said. "If we look at what has happened over last two months, we see a drive in the U.S. and elsewhere to bring the Internet under increasing regulation for security purposes," he said. "There has been lot of motivation for govern-

Each cabinet came with a working 19inch computer display (rather than the television displays more typical of most arcade units), a trackball, and a couple of arcade buttons. This setup not only solved our problem of getting a monitor and new trackball, but we were getting a ready-made cabinet in the bargain. The cabinets were sold in sets of three, so we found a mutual friend to sign onto our arcade project and bought the lot.

Governments around the world are making their presence online felt in positive ways, most notably in the form of e-government programs. Canada, Singapore, the United States, Finland, and the United Kingdom continue to lead in pmviding government services online.

In the realm of broadband deployment, South Korea and Canada have the highest number of broadband subscribers per capita, followed closely by the United States, Austria, the Netherlands and Belgium. ITTA president Mark Rhoads said this year's report makes clear that economic and policy divisions in the ofiline world translate almost seamlessly into Internet space. "We are realizing that as the Net becomes more part of culture, the same fault lines that are out there in the economy and culture at large are going to manifest themselves on the Internet," he said.

had to answer a few fundamental questions: • Which operating system should we use on the computer driving the arcade games? How fast does this computer have to be? • What is the best controller interface? How many arcade buttons do we need! • Which controls do we use? In the end, we each answered these questions difierently, which led to important design decisions. There were a lot of other less fundamental questions we knew we'd have to

tadde along the way, induding how to paint the cabinets, whether or not we could get the coin mechanisms to work, and how to create new plastic marquee signs. This series will look at all of these issues in turn. 0 Nexg fittlt Making fundamentaldesignaad controller deosioas.

catedto new digital/movfie technology. Thisis the second major announcement for the company within the month— in mid-October , Sangisk launched the Ultra serie sofTypeI cards,a high-speed CFsolution designed specifically for use in data intensive mobile devices, most notably multi-megapixel digital cameras. While the new 1 GB card does not include the faster Ultra technology, it is still fast enough to streammotion video on a PocketPC hand-

held. The 1 GB card is the first to incorporate the new one-gigabit NAND flash memory chip technology,jointly announced at

Comdex bySanDisk and Toshiba.Thistechnology effectively doubies the potential capacit y of the previous generation of Rash-based storage card. What may seem strange to those who have been following developments in the world of Compactftash is the lack of any new Rash-based cards using the slightly larger Type II I'orm factor. According to

Micael Wong, senior public relations manager at SanDisk, the reason is quite simple: "Therejust aren't enough devices with a Type 11 slot available." The director of public relations, Bob Goligoski, concurred, adding that the highest-capaci ty Type I CF cards now available provide more storage than most people know whatto do with anyhow, so there is no real value in developing products for the TypeIIslotin addition to Type I.Thus,the lastType II CF card from SanDisk was the 320 MBversion,and ithasnow been effectively discontinued. The 1 GB CF card wil be available in early 2002. and is expected to hit the street ata price ofUS$800. —Seen Conuthers

Struggling CPU chip maker, Transmeta Corp. (wwwtransmetaxom) surrounded itself with some big f r iends. i ncluding several Japanesenotebook computer makers,in an attemptto keep alive its message of lowpower, low-heat, and high-performance computing. On displa y in its suite at The Venefian

Then we hopped in, strapped up and there,were subnotebook computer models hitthe track.Partway down the track were two information stations geared to sending and receiving data.As we passed the stations,an audio file we requested was downloaded, and the digital photo was uploaded —aU within seconds. When we got backto the show tent,the photo was waiting forus on a notebook computer. Thereare a few things standing in the way ofthis technology right now. Rrst up,

Mercedes-Benz sees the technology, however, as complementary to celiular technology,which the company is already beginning to integrate into its cars; the cell ular component could send a packetto the network requesting a certain multimesender/r eceiverso it's readywhen you dri ve

But Frank Priscaro, Transmeta's director of brand development, told TCP that the Crusoe changes that. "This form factor really hasn't taken off i n [North America] becauseit's neveroffered the fullcombination of performance, light weight, long battery life, and low heat, aU at a reasonable price.

More problematic is the question of who is going to deliver the data back and forth. Forthe concept to work,there hasto be an 802.11aR/A nebvork in place in the areas cars will be driving. Of course, this would requim a network infrastructure to be in place in aU the areas where people would want coverage. If digital cellular has been any indication, the coverage would likely be fairly patchy and concentrated in urban areas.And the question on top of that would be the cost— wiring up the ri ty streetsfor 802.11a R/A won't be cheap. Someone willhave to pick up the tab,and you can bet that it will be the people using the network. As a realistic product, Drivegy InfoFueling may still be a bit further down the road. From a technology perspective,

light weight and generating very little heat. They are also going to come in at a very good price that we think is going to stimulate that market." In mid-October, Fujitsu and Sony introduced Crusoe-based subnotebooks for the U.S.market. Fujitsu's Lifenook weighs less than 1.6 kg and claims battery life ofup to 14.5 hours. Suggested retail price is USS1,499.Sony's latest VAIO PictureBook C1MV weighs 1 kg, and has a suggested price of US$1,900. Sony introduced a Crusoe-powered VAIO PictureBook, the C1VP,in May.NEC also introduced a Crusoepowered Versa. the DayLite, in ApriL Toshiba' s latest Libretto and a Sharp Mebius were also on display. However, these modelsare only for the Japanese market— atleastfor now.

"As the Japanese economy comes back, you'll see a lot more of these machines being brought over from Japan," predicts Priscaro. But he points out that other products besides notebook computers will benefi t from the low-heat and low-power characteristics of the Crusoe chip.

"The convergence of consumer electronics and computing is very important and I think you are going to see more of it," says Pris caro."One ofthe things thatmakes the Crusoe so important in this trend, is once again the combination of high performance, low power and low heat, which is going to enable the kinds of form factors that consumers and consumer electronics Continued on page 96

The toughest word game oa the Web NB— Takethisquizandfind outwhat you really know about the English language. Entymologic's interactive quiz poses multipie-choice questions about the origin of words, and the correct answers can be very tricky. The false answers in fact are remarkably plausible, and some of the true answers are hard to believe, An example of a quiz question: "What's a nephrectomy?" Choices: surgical correctionto the kneecap;surgicalaiteration of

the nasal cavity; neurological (nervous system) therapy; or surgical removal of a kidney? ..... Give up? Maybe you'll get this question when you take the test... For quicker results, grab your dictionary and look it up. www.inhiitve.corn/cgi-local/eiymolopccgi
