** WIRELESS & MOBILE **
Tegic Communications <http://www.tegic.com> has recently announced a new
text input technology they are calling "T9" that would be ideal of
deployment on future cellular phones, handhelds, and two-way pagers. The
first major player in the mobile comms market to license 'T9' has been
announced as Samsung.
Associated Press on 05Sep97 reported that Motorola is working on a new
cellular phone that is Internet ready. The 'phone' will be equiped with
a external viewfinder called a "CyberDisplay" that will able to display a
"a full page of e-mail or a full Web page."

** LAPTOPS **
Power Computing <http://www.powercc.com> is suppose to launch in the near
future their new line of Intel based laptops and desktop systems.
Andre Kvitka <andre_...@infoworld.com> has a 'Product Review' of the
"Libretto 50CT good for executives on the go" on page 112. PROS:
"Beautiful screen; full set of standard features; compact, light design."
CONS: "Keyboard too small for touch typing; mouse buttons awkwardly
positioned; expensive."
Gael Core <gco...@aol.com> has an article entitled "Lightening the laptop
support load: Managers wonder how to connect handheld computers" on page
45 of LAN Times published on 18Aug97. There are no Newton mentions but
the article sites a study by International Data Corporation that labels
handhelds into three groups: 'PC Companions' -- clamshell designs with
keyboards price between US$400-800; 'personal companions' pen-based open
faced devices priced between US$250-$400; and PDAs priced at US$600 and
up (the MessagePad falls in this category). The article also devotes a
lot of space to the premise that the current 'rapid growth' in the
handheld market is because of Windows CE.

** "DEEP BLUE" GETS DEEPER **
The IBM RS/6000 SP computer "Deep Blue" -- widely known for its chess
victory over world chess champion Garry Kasparov -- has received hardware
and software enhancements expected to make that product line 58% faster.
Much of the speed increase is due to the latest version of IBM's 604e
Power PC microprocessor. (New York Times 1 Sep 97)
** PC FIXX SEEKS TO FRANCHISE PC REPAIR **
A small Seattle firm called PC Fixx is hoping to franchise the computer
repair business, offering Nordstrom-style service with McDonald's-style
convenience. The company, which is currently seeking investors, plans to
acquire computer repair businesses around the country and convert them to
PC Fixx franchises. Using a network of repair depots and service vans
linked to a telecommunications center, PC Fixx could offer repairs in a
matter of hours rather than days. A study by Dataquest estimates that
the U.S. PC repair market will grow at 21% a year to nearly $1.9 billion
in 2001. (Tampa Tribune 1 Sep 97)
** NEXT GENERATION OF SOFTWARE WILL BE NONPROPRIETARY, SAYS ELLISON **
Oracle CEO Larry Ellison says the age of domination by one software
company's technical standards is over: "The next generation of software
will not, cannot, be based on proprietary technology that belongs to one
company. We're living in the dawn of the information age, not the dawn
of the Microsoft Age or the dawn of the Age of Redmond. The next
generation of computing, network computing, will not be dominated by any
one company or any one person. The age in which we live can't be
controlled by a single human being. Nation-states resent it, individuals
resent it." (Upside Sep 97)
** IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY MAY COME ... BUT THEY WON'T PAY **
A recent study by Forrester Research says the future of the Web
definitely does not lie in the subscription-based model. Even online
gaming, which was touted as the exception to the rule, has fallen far
short of expectations, and a Forrester analyst says the findings are
"another nail in the coffin for subscription services." The study
estimates the number of paying subscribers to Internet gaming services,
such as the Total Entertainment Network, at around 600,000. That number
is expected to double by 2001, a growth rate too slow to sustain the
industry. "We've watched their membership lists for six to eight months,
and we see them growing by hundreds, not by the thousands they need to
make this a viable business." Forrester predicts that gaming sites, like
everyone else, increasingly will rely on advertising rather than
membership fees for their revenue stream, reaching an 80/20 ratio by
2001. (CIO 1 Sep 97)
** CYBER THREATS OF CONCERN TO PRESIDENTIAL COMMISSION **
The President's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection says
that federal spending on research and development of defenses against
"physical and cyber threats" needs to be "jump-started" by raising those
expenditures (currently at $250 million a year) to $500 million in 1999
and $100 million each succeeding year until they reach $1 billion in
2004. (Washington Post 6 Sep 97)
** MICROSOFT'S SIMONYI ON JAVA -- "IT'S THE MONKEES ALL OVER AGAIN" **
Microsoft applications creator Charles Simonyi says Sun Microsystems'
Java language falls in the same category as Lisp, Smalltalk, Ada and all
the other "revolutionary" languages that claim to boost programmer
productivity: "It's the Monkees. They had a few hits and then
disappeared. Java will be the same. It will be totally forgotten.
Microsoft is the Beatles." Simonyi says Sun's claims to have solved the
problem of programming component software are suspect: "These problems
have not even been solved at Microsoft, in one company. How could anyone
solve it across the Net?" (Forbes ASAP 25 Aug 97)

INNOVATION, 11Aug97
-------------------
** TRENDS: WHERE WILL THE JOBS (REALLY) BE IN THE 21ST CENTURY? **
MIT economics professor Paul Krugman doesn't believe all those
predictions by pundits who say that the jobs of the future will be in
high technology areas. "Historically, the opposite has happened: job
growth tends to be greatest in the areas that new technology affects the
least." Krugman points out that in the Labor Department's list of
occupations with the largest job growth, the top five categories are
cashiers, janitors and cleaners, salespeople, waiters and waitresses, and
nurses -- i.e., jobs having face-to-face contact with the consumer or
"dealing in a hands-on way with the unpredictable messiness of the
physical world." So the typical worker of the 21st century "will be
doing precisely the kinds of thing that you can't do over the Internet."
(Paul Krugman, "What's Ahead For Working Men And Women," New York Times
31 Aug 97)
** STRATEGIES: SOFTWARE DESIGN -- NATURE'S WAY **
Pattie Maes, who heads the Software Agents Group at MIT, believes in
doing "applications-motivated" or "applications-driven" basic research,
and tackles research problems only when there is a real need for tackling
them. But hasn't Artificial Intelligence always been searching for the
most general solution, rather than solutions to specific small problems?
Maes says: "Often we say that Artificial Intelligence has 'physics
envy.' AI researchers hope they'll find the general principles for x and
y. For example, many people in AI hoped and still hope that there could
be a generic problem solver and other such very general principles that
would apply across all problem-solving domains." Rejecting this magic
bullet approach, Maes and her group are approaching artificial
intelligence more in the way a biologist would, rather than a physicist.
"There are a lot of principles, not just five or three. there are lots
of different mechanisms that are all useful and interacting, just like
what you would find in an organism or an ecosystem. For example,
research into animal behavior shows us that the behavior of an animal is
the result of many simple components interacting -- a huge bag of tricks,
so to speak -- rather than the result of any generalized complex
reasoning and representation modules." (Interview with Pattie Maes,
"Humanizing The Global Computer," IEEE Internet Computing Jul/Aug 97)
** INNOVATIONS: QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY **
In the unending quest for an uncrackable code, scientists now are turning
to the world of quantum physics. "The security of quantum cryptography
is based on the laws of nature," says a physicist at Los Alamos National
Laboratory. "Unless there's something totally wrong with our
understanding of quantum mechanics, then these transmissions should be
utterly secure." The code would be sent through optical fibers in a
series of light pulses called photons. Researchers like the idea of
quantum cryptography because it's immune to the "brute force" approach
that many crackers take -- using computers that crunch numbers day and
night until they come up with the correct decryption key. Because the
normal rules that govern matter, motion and time become meaningless in
the quantum world, even the most powerful supercomputer couldn't crack a
quantum code if it crunched till the end of the universe. And it's
spy-proof as well, because any attempt to intercept the transmission
would disrupt the signal, alerting the communicators to the presence of
an intruder. (Tampa Tribune 25 Aug 97) <http://www.tampatrib.com>
