Sharp CE-MR01 Announced for Japan (Dec 24 2004 20:15 GMT) - [Meerkat: An Open Wire Service] - Sharp's going to have a new network media player on their home turf early next year, the CE-MR01. Supporting both wired (10 and 100mbps, no gigabit) and wireless networks of the a, b, and g varieties, the unit is capable of playing back MPEG-1 and 2, MP3, WAV, and WMA, as well as displaying various image formats. Doesn't look like it has any storage built in—seems more like a bridge between Windows XP and your TV or stereo than an actual standalone player— |

Apple Patents iPod Acceleration Detector (Dec 24 2004 20:15 GMT) - [Meerkat: An Open Wire Service] - According to this article posted yesterday on CNET, Apple has applied for a patent on technology which would allow an iPod (or other device) to detect when it is falling and shut down the hard drive, minimizing the potential damage to drive and data due to impact. How soon this technology will find its way into the iPod, assuming it ever does, is unknown. Considering that IBM has deployed similar technology in its ThinkPads, I wouldn't be surprised if it appears within the next generation or two... |

While I do still like this special, I had a bunch of problems once it was over. This special gives a very negative message throughout quite a bit of it. Here's some of my gripes: |

People responding to incentives (Dec 24 2004 20:10 GMT) - From Samuel Bowles's Microeconomics, Behavior, Institutions, and Evolution: Consider the following case (Gneezy and Rustichini 2000). Parents everywhere are sometimes late picking up their children at day-care centers. In Haifa, at six randomly chosen centers, a fine was imposed for lateness (in a control group of centers, no fine was imposed). The expectation was that punctuality would improve. |
