...Ford enjoyed 16 top-ten hits, including 'How High the Moon' (#1 for nine weeks) and 'Vaya Con Dios' (#1 for 11). That would be enough, for anyone whose memory contained chips of Ford's silky stylings and Paul's amazing facility with a sound he invented and perfected. As he told Stephen K. Peeples in the 60-page booklet that comes with the 'Les Paul: The Legend and the Legacy' four-volume CD set (on the Gold Rush label): 'That big, fat, round, ballsy sound with the bright high-end is the Les Paul sound - nobody else...
...experiences rank as high on the surrealism meter as being asked to judge a robot dog contest. In following the cyber-pooch in question - AIBO, or Artificial Intelligence 'Bot - for two years now, I've seen Sony's high-end consumer toy go from a $2,500 limited-edition fad to a relatively mass-market, mass-produced $1,500 fad. But what transpired last Saturday afternoon at the Sony Metreon, San Francisco's massive multiplex and temple to all things techno, made me believe AIBO is leaving the realm of novelty and entering the living room and hearts...
...built using Homestead's software was functional, but frankly I find better-looking things between my teeth when I floss. In search of an upgrade, I tried some cheap, bare-bones shareware programs, but they were buggy and hard to use. Finally I picked up a couple of manly, high-end Web-building packages: Microsoft's FrontPage ($169) and NetObjects Fusion MX ($99). This is serious software aimed at small businesses that need a Web presence, rather than individuals who are building monuments to their self-esteem. I found both of them fairly challenging. If you're used to programs...
...defied the notion that keeping pace with tech advances will break an indie carmaker's bank. One reason: parts suppliers have become powerful arbiters of success, as more auto companies outsource R. and D. of their components. Traditionally, Mercedes would develop a new antiskid technology in conjunction with a high-end component maker like Germany's Robert Bosch. Then, after Mercedes had made a splash by being the first to sell cars with the new technology, it would allow Bosch to sell the technology elsewhere. Now the suppliers are driving the process. Says Flynn: "BMW is going...
Despite the rave reviews, robot-assisted surgery is still in its infancy. While the da Vinci does offer realistic "force feedback," similar to a high-end joystick, it isn't developed to the point where surgeons truly get their valuable sense of "feel." Developing teletaction - long-distance feel - has proven to be a slow process, with current prototypes years away from functioning at a useful level. But surgeons are intrigued by the ability of da Vinci and its closest competitor, Computer Motion's Zeus, to spread knowledge. An expert surgeon could be sitting in his office, watching over the shoulder...
