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. — Megan Johnston, Editor -

Re(cease

Letters 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.

S et t in g e m a r t e r 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. audio, vfdeo, and electrical wiring that is so thin it can be applied to a wall or ceiling and painted over so it virtually disappears. At 1/800th of an inch ithe thickness of a business card), the Flat Wire cables and and power cords are attached with a spray adhesive. coveredwith a thin compound to even out the surface, then painted to match the wall. An alternative to costly rewiring, Gecorp chief executive, Robert Sexton,says they'd liketo see their products sold everywhere that currently sells common electrical products like extension cords. such as hardware stores and supermarkets. For now, though, they are available through the U.S.-based Decorp Web site,

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.

Beyond the hot plate With its background in hot plates, waffle irons, and coffee makers, Salton[www.saltoninc.corn) is perhaps one of the more ambitious participants in the smart home sweepstakes. But it actually unveiled its first connected home product — the icebox, from subsidiary Beyond [www.beyondconnectedhome.corn)at CES2003. The icebox is a combo TV,radio,

Suf Isii says... A parksAssociates/Consumer Electronics Association survey of consumers to find out what features they wantin a smart home found: a 3D94 would like to use Internet to

With a Pocket PC, Tablet PC, Web pad, or Windows PCs (running XP or 2000), the user can specify their preferences, which are recorded, and used to manage the home. Cielo supports a Iong list of wired and wireless standards, allowing it to integrate with a wide range of lighting, alarm, and thermostat systems. In addition to automating the home, CasaWorks will be dipping its toes into the content-sharing waters with the launch of Medio media client and server hardware and software, which will integrate with Cielo. The Medio line will be available by fall and the Cielo system by the end of the year through home automation dealer/installers

This year, Beyond added several new smart appliances — a microwaveoven,bread maker,and coffee maker — to its ConnectedHome line.The microwave and bread maker both have barcode wands forscanning food packages, automatically giving the appliances cooking and baking instructions. Both come program m edwith product barcodes, but, in conjunction with the Home Hub, they can get updates when new information is available. The Home Hub looks like a large alarm clock, and was displayed in a bedroom environment in the Beyond Connected Home booth at CES. The Home Hub incorporates a radio, CD player, family calendar, and Web interface, and displays time and weather forecasts on its adjustable screen(so you can see it lying down). Not only does it provide the microwave and bread maker with updates, it will tell you when the coffee's ready before you get out of bed. Beyond's new line is expected to range in price from $130* to $240* for the appliances and $660* for the Home Hub. The icebox currently sells for about $3,000*. Beyond representative, Graham Drage, said the new line was not currently available in Canada, but expected it would be as other lines from Salton are popular here.

R oom-t o-r oom m u l t i m e d i a 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

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. www.hubcanada.corn

The on-screen menu system is very straightforward and easy to use, and it's even possible to set up the wireless component with the remote control once you' ve hooked the Media Adapter up to a display [or you can set it up using your PC and the configuration software). The simple and intuitive menu system makes it an absolute joy to use. Even though it doesn't handle video, it's easily 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 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 12

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. By Sean Carruthers (* Converted fromUS%299. ) www.hubcanada.corn

C onnec t e d ! 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 • • I

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."

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 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 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. By Sean Carruthers Vol. 17 Number 2

& 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-

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.

M at qu it e fa r a ll sea s o n s Tips for getting your gear through the Ilwnter

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.

essential elements of liquid crystal displays used in most portable electronic gadgets, are very sensitive to temperature extremes[they' re also used in thermometers and in mood rings, incidentally),and have been known tomisbehave orstop working in cold weather, so if using the screen is essential to using the device, as it is with handhelds and many cameras, it needs to be kept warm.

Just for a little more white

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.

What do you pack for a trek to the South Pole? Well, for Pen Hadow and Simon Murr ay, the "list inrluded lots of tea (their expedition is sponsored by Tet(ay), skis, sled, camping gear, and aniPod each,which they use to relax on their rest days. The pair is making the 1,094 km journey to raise funds and awareness for the Royal Geographic Society's Polar Heritage and Education Programme. Find out more at www,southpolemission.corn.

80o he World' s .. Large@ Plasma Tv

[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 '.ll retail for around $390'.

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 USB 2.0 Drive fits up to 128 MB of data in a device barely larger than a one-dollar coin. Both SanDisk and Lexar [www.lexar.corn] introducedUSB memory keys thatdouble as MP3 storage when plugged into MP3 playbackaccessories.SanDisk projects demand for flash memory will continue to grow, especially with the proliferation of camera phones, and says compact versions of both Secure Digital and Memory Stick will pick up steam as add-ons for portable multimedia devices.

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, cleaner [and more up-to-date) design that comes in several different form factors depending on your needs. It stores your music on an 80 GB hard drive, and can rip CDs that you insert into the slot along the side. You interact with the player via a wireless touchscreenthatresembles a PDA and sits in a recharging spot on the front of the jukebox between uses. The player automatically retrieves CD information from the Net as you insert new CDs. If you don't have the room ln your house for a jukebox-st yle player, the unit is also available. in tabletop and component audio-style designs.

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.

lnk rethinh 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 24

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.

These w o m e n d o n' 0 n eed re s c u i n g 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 Ic Evil Ubisoft, beyondgoodevil.corn For. PC,GameCube, PS2,Xbox Price:$59.99 Rating:Teen 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.

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 26

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness Eidos, www.tombraider.corn

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 garners will have to contend with game freezes and other inexcusable bugs. By Andrew Moore-Crispin 1

A pple g e t t i n g in t h e g a m e ' ? 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 simple Yahoo! Games-like X The popular PC title Halo is available for diversions. Mncgarners.

Mac'sgaming post 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. By Andrew Moore.Crispin

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 emailme atdavidLaeyesquared.corn.

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

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."
