// an outstanding article in several ways, which is focused on the  
upcoming new
// iPod but in no way limited to this device. what the article  
demonstrates is a
// dimension of electronics information available in datasheets &  
specifications
// which can help decipher the probable in the possible and the  
possible in the
// probable. see the downloadable .pdfs for an idea of how the  
reasoning for the
// feature sets in the software could or could not be made available to  
products
// and likely by many manufacturers of cutting-edge competitive  
devices, where a
// software update can unveil hidden hardware features otherwise  
inaccessible.
// what is impressive and very worthwhile in reading is how the  
universality of
// electronics presentation of data (how a chip works, pins,  
performance) can be
// used in a type of information archaeology to dig into the context in  
which a
// social-technological device is evolving. these questions relate  
between the
// realms of software/hardware interaction, and electronics is a  
language which
// bridges this gap, as it is the literacy and language in which such  
knowledge
// and thinking and interpretation are discovered and shared. the  
'dissection'
// of electronics, in a sense, may be like the dissection of a strange  
being as
// shown in older paintings of medical discoveries and explorations in  
how to
// perform a procedure or experiment in order to learn how something  
functions.
// in a sense this could be a type of hidden reservoir of valuable  
information.
// (and ideas, as the more who can imagine can also help develop ideas  
further).
// this article may be different from pure specifications speculations  
& pure
// technical analyses as it considers decision making within a cultural  
context.

How brainwashing came to life and thrived // neuroethics, cog-lib... **
<http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/08/01/ 
INGRR7UIJ31.DTL>

	'"The Manchurian Candidate" remake brings to a wider audience  
questions  about the role of the state in brainwashing and mind  
control, a topic usually  reserved for the "nutters" on the Internet,  
as a character in the new movie  puts it succinctly.' .. 'Updating the  
politics of the era, the Communist evil empire has been  replaced by a  
multinational corporation, Manchurian Global. Updating the  science,  
hypnosis and brainwashing have been augmented with electrodes in the   
brain, microchips implanted in the body and electroshock.' .... '...  
experts in neurosciences asked about the technology in "The  Manchurian  
Candidate" agreed that true mind control  --  the ability to create   
specific thoughts or memories with brain chips or electromagnetic waves  
  --   is still the stuff of science fiction. But the movie's theme of  
medical  technology morphing into nefarious military applications  
resonated nonetheless.' .... 'Microchips have long been used to track  
animals and to tag surgical implants. Today's microchips, which are  
about the size of a grain of uncooked rice, can now be linked to Global  
Positioning System equipment for surveillance and equipped with  
technology to relay information about vital signs remotely. A "brain  
fingerprinting" technique is already accepted by some courts;  
scalp-measured brain waves can detect so-called guilty knowledge, such  
as familiarity with people, objects or even terrorist training. Just a  
few weeks ago, the Food and Drug Administration approved the first  
implant to treat a mood disorder: an electrode placed on the vagus  
nerve to treat depression.'

Make magazine: Technology on your time
The First Magazine for Technology Projects
// O'Reilly press. via engadget.com
<http://make.oreilly.com/>

	'Make brings the do-it-yourself mindset to all the technology in your  
life.   Make is loaded with exciting projects that help you make the  
most of your technology at home and away from home.  This is a magazine  
that celebrates your right to tweak, hack, and bend any technology to  
your own will.' .. 'Coming early in 2005, Make is a hybrid  
magazine/book (known as a mook in Japan).   Make comes from O'Reilly,  
the Publisher of Record for geeks and tech enthusiasts everywhere.   It  
follows in line with the Hacks books and Hardware Hacking Projects, but  
it takes a highly visual and personal approach.' .... 'Make's promise  
is: If it can be done, we will help you do it.  We'll help you make  
sense of all the technology that's in your life...' .... 'There are all  
kinds of Makers, making all kinds of things.   Through Make, you will  
meet extraordinary makers who create one-of-a-kind things for all kinds  
of reasons.   A maker can serve as an intelligent coach, a dependable  
(and approachable) alpha geek who knows what to do and wants to help  
you learn how.' .. 'Our goal is that all of us can learn to become  
makers, just as we might learn to cook or use woodworking tools.    
There are makers at all levels of experience and we can learn from each  
other.   Make will provide a web site for a community of makers who are  
willing to connect with others to share their experiences and  
collaborate on new projects.'

// having made a complete enclosure-based electronics project  
(fiberoptic light
// in a box with switch) it was realized that even with the recommended  
tools a
// lot of the techniques to make a well-constructed box were yet to be  
learned.
// taking dremel router bits to a small plastic box, while fun, can be  
reckless.
// this article says a hacksaw is the way to go. in any case, the idea  
of 'kits'
// has not been of particular curiosity except for being able to make a  
signal
// generator (sine, square, pseudo-triangle waves) for instance. or,  
the surplus
// guts of a product sold as bare mostly-working circuitboard without  
enclosure.
// one surprise is in a .99 cent strobe light board, to make it work  
just add a
// push button switch to trigger a (very) large capacitor to fire  
strobelight...
// one reason for an enclosure and such boards is that, not thinking it  
through
// can give a person a very large shock if handling such a board while  
charging
// if their fingers happen to shorten the circuit by touching solder  
points on
// the back of the board and as a result get a wicked shock. for this  
reason it
// would appear standard for boards using high-voltage and house wires  
FWIW...

building' and

Electronic Construction from A to Z // overview...
"Everything you wanted to know about building stuff but were afraid to  
ask."
<http://www.morsex.com/building/atoz.htm>

	'Exhaustive research (2) has shown that out of every 1000 kits which  
fail to work, exactly 985 times the problem is a mistake by the  
builder. Exactly 7 times it is a minor manufacturing defect in a  
printed circuit board. 5 times in a thousand it's a faulty component.  
And exactly 3 times out of a thousand it is a mistake by the designer  
of the kit (most often when they have made a change "between versions"  
and missed some minor detail, and that kind of problem only lasts for  
as long as it takes one person to build the kit and send it back).'

Jerry Lewis: Medtronic's pain-killing buzzer a joy // neurostimulation  
pacemaker
<http://www.startribune.com/stories/535/4902055.html>

	'But a little more than two years ago, Lewis' doctor suggested an  
implantable neurostimulation device -- often referred to as a "pain  
pacemaker" -- made by Fridley-based Medtronic Inc.' .. '"It saved my  
life," Lewis said. "Medtronic saved my life."' .. 'Lewis was so  
grateful he offered to become a global spokesman for the company in a  
campaign called Tame the Pain, beginning a kind of lovefest between the  
two. For a fee Medtronic calls "nominal," Lewis now travels the world  
to tell the story about his delivery from pain.' .... 'Never far from  
Lewis is his patient programmer, a handheld device that resembles a red  
computer mouse, complete with small, turquoise-colored buttons. It  
allows him to control the level of electrical stimulation to his  
spine.' .. 'Neurostimulation zaps the spinal cord with tiny electrical  
impulses. In Lewis' case, doctors cut out some of the bone in his spine  
to make way for two leads, or wires, that connect to the pacemaker-like  
neurostimulator, which is implanted in his abdomen.' .. 'When he feels  
pain, he presses a button on his programmer, causing a kind of tingling  
effect. Lewis describes the sensation as quite pleasant.' .. '"I've had  
an erection for nine months," he said, delighting in a reporter's  
stunned reaction.'

// one thing about digital cameras is that film does not limit the  
amount of
// photographs a person can take (if costs for film and developing are  
issues)
// and thus, possibly, more photographs may be taken (just for fun)  
than would
// otherwise. it is wondered the amount of photos taken in film versus  
digital,
// and stored though not printed. as of the thousands of photographs  
taken if
// few are printed, it may not mean that they are not seen (on the web,  
or in
// future picture-screens, an electronic development of picture-frames  
as a
// type of photo development process). it is guessed that 'displaying'  
stored
// photographs in sequences, in everyday settings (as in relation to  
furniture)
// would have a lot more photographs being shown, printed-images on a  
screen,
// via digital media cards - and printouts a subset of new display  
approaches.
// the lack of affordable, non-internet-based, LCD display screens and  
troubles
// in hacking a solution for novices (kit) make it uneconomical, as are  
prints.
// what happens to print-outs anyway? a stack of photographs to be  
piled up into
// boxes of photographs, some are framed, yet only one per frame versus  
digital
// photographic frames (animations, images, movies) which could hold  
megabytes
// to gigabytes of imagery which could be cycled-through, especially in  
the art-
// gallery realms, where DIY culture consumers are ready to share their  
works.

medium).

[and] quote: U.S. Warns of Qaeda Attack in 'Near Term'
<http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/02/politics/02terror.html>

	'The elevation of the threat level for the financial institutions was  
triggered by the recent arrest of a Pakistani computer engineer who may  
have been involved in Qaeda communication efforts. A senior American  
intelligence official, while not discussing the source of the  
information, said analysts were reviewing recently discovered documents  
that amount to "a potential treasure trove." Officials emphasized that  
the threat information went beyond intelligence "chatter" picked up  
from intercepted communications or Internet traffic, which has formed  
the basis for past warnings.' .... 'Mr. Ridge said he was concerned  
that Al Qaeda might seek to attack financial institutions in one of  
three ways: the physical destruction of a building, an outside  
cyberattack intended to cripple financial markets or an internal attack  
that would allow someone within an organization to disrupt its  
operations...'

[and] Captured Qaeda Figure Led Way to Information Behind Warning
<http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/02/politics/02intel.html>

	'The figure, Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan, was described by a Pakistani  
intelligence official as a 25-year-old computer engineer, arrested July  
13, who had used and helped to operate a secret Qaeda communications  
system where information was transferred via coded messages.' .... 'The  
Qaeda communications system that Mr. Khan used and helped operate  
relied on Web sites and e-mail addresses in Turkey, Nigeria and the  
northwestern tribal areas of Pakistan, according to the information  
provided by a Pakistani intelligence official.' .. 'The official said  
Mr. Khan had told investigators that couriers carried handwritten  
messages or computer disks from senior Qaeda leaders hiding in isolated  
border areas to hard-line religious schools in Pakistan's Northwest  
Frontier Province.' .. 'Other couriers then ferried them to Mr. Khan on  
the other side of the country in the eastern city of Lahore, and the  
computer expert then posted the messages in code on Web sites or  
relayed them electronically, the Pakistani official said.' .. 'Mr. Khan  
had told investigators that most of Al Qaeda's communications were now  
done through the Internet, the official said. After a message was sent  
and read by the recipient, the entire communication and related files  
were deleted to maintain secrecy, he said. Mr. Khan had told  
investigators that e-mail addresses were generally not used more than a  
few times.'

to the American Revolution.' .. 'John Edwards reportedly is code-named
