About a year ago, I first heard the notion of wirelessly broadcasting music from an iPod to an audio system, in essence turning the iPod itself into a remote control. This concept was a response to the various competing remote controls for iPod that never quite got beyond Play, Pause and the forward and backward skipping of tracks. Instead of devising some weird, wild way to recreate the iPod interface, a wireless music streamer simply uses...
...major classes had been kept on reserve for years.But digitization holds a special place in 21st century hearts, as well it should: even a Lamont library decked out in comfortable chairs and open 24 hours can’t compete with the possibility of combining digital lecture videos with wireless networking and watching Chem lectures without ever getting out of bed. The real question, though, is why should we even restrict ourselves to beds here at Harvard? Why not watch lectures poolside in southern California, or from ski lodges in Colorado or cruise ships sailing across the Caribbean?The past...
...punches and other members (preferably ones you don’t yet know well). If you do set up any outings, be sure to alert Aimee and Steph so that they can account for these as they plan others. -UNSPOKEN RULES/POLICIES FOR MEETINGS: * If you have a laptop with wireless access, please try to bring it to punch meetings so that you (and others) can access pictures of punches (through the facebook or Harvard directory) as we discuss them. * BE OPEN-MINDED (in either direction) about punches! If your good friend is being put up, try to consider her objectively...
...afternoon light sparkles off the Colorado Rockies, office workers spill out of buildings in downtown Boulder and alight at outdoor-café tables, laptops in hand. With a click, they tap into a bold new energy future: a wireless network powered by the sun. The $10,000 project, which covers a six-block area, allows anyone to connect to the Internet through wi-fi transmitters powered by solar panels on nearby rooftops. The panels collect the sun's rays even on cloudy days and hook up to batteries that store 72 hours' worth of power, ensuring a steady supply...
...Force engineer Ben Adams, who hatched the idea three years ago as he lugged a generator through the Nevada desert to hook up a communications system, is negotiating this month with U.S. and Australian forces to market solar wi-fi in Iraq. Each solar-paneled access point can relay wireless signals as far as 25 miles to other stations and can connect to a series of other nodes, extending the signal from the cities to rural areas. A model linking solar panels with satellites is in the works. Ever since Boulder inaugurated its system last July, inquiries have flooded...
