Getting past convergence s contributing editor Jeff Evans points out i n one of t his L onth 's cover story artides, convergence is just a word. Like the term multimedia. it's a convenient way to describe what happens when diverse media forms and forces come together. It is now redundant to say multi•s s • media computer because allnew personal computers have good graphics. sound, and a CD drive or other optical player —aU of the once-new innovations that the word multimedia pointed to. Likewise, the hyphenated names describing products of digital convergence will eventually revert to their simpler forms. A phone will soon be once again just a phone, not a digital,

digital convergence. The possibilities created when aff cornmunication forms are reduced to zeros and ones is what is really influencing how we work and play. And where is the personal computer in aff ibis?

Ifthe end productofconvergence is information accessratherthan computat ionalprocessing,why do you alwayshaveto use aninformation processing device, i.e. a PC?The answer is you don't.

reviewed a product «affod the Digital Wallet. Like the Nomad Jukebox, it is a battery-powered hard drive, but its target users are digital photographers who can use it to download images from a memory card.These are examples of a trend of developers taking tbe most appropriate subsystems of the personal computer — in this case, storage —and creating new niche products that replace the full PC itself. But in both «ases, the personal computer is still necessary at some point. A computer is still the most efficient way to load the Jukebox with aff those tunes, and the Wallet's images will eventually have to be downloaded to a computer for inspection aud editing. Ihave heard anecdotes ofpeople buying DV iMacs solely on the strength of that computer's digital-video capabiTities. These iMacs come with FireWire ports, as do most DV camcorders now, so moving video footage to a computer for editing is almost as simple as moving any other kind of data from a storage device to a computer. And the iMac's iMovie video-editing software makes it equally easy to organize the shots into a de«ent home movie. As convergence runs its course, there will always be a need for some kind of reiativdy powerful computer as the processor/server, connecting and communicating with a variety of devices,like Mp3 jukeboxes and camcorders.On the internet, that's the basic model —public or publidy accessible servers delivering content as wdl as processing. Within a private sphere, the personal computer is already taking on the role of personal server. And it will succeed there, largely because of its chameleon nature —today soundstage, tomorrow movie studio, and the next day digital darkroomwhicb is what made it a success in the ffrst place.

August marks the 20th anniversary of tbe introduction of the IBM PC, a seminal event for personal computing as we know it today. But there's no denying that the personal computer industry is in a severe slump right now, and there's a lot of un«ertainty about what it will look like six or 12 months from now. Price competition makes it a very good time to buy a new computer right now, but in the longer term, there will be a shakeout, with fewer manufacturers looking for bigger market shares. And there's the ongoing discussion of the fate of the personal computer itself. Convergence plays a central role in that discussion—if the end product of convergence is information access rather than computational processing, why do you always have to use an information processing device, i.e. a PC? The answer is you don' t, and it seems inevitable that the sheer nmnber of access and presentation devices plugging into the data in&astrucmre Have a great summer will soon outnumber tbe processing and calculating devices. David Tanaka, Editor Around the oflice, I know that the favourite device of at l east two editors i s t h e I asw/ts«srsrzstssvxrt I saNpxst Nlatb twlrassv C reative La b s No m ad r KNowrrz Bsxrll 54?tr/ato Jukebox. Not much bigger cszlss«A«tzsst«a.«sttasxa . AcasV«gast' mtgtrsosw ctaaa«s,«rantKa, et/orna stettin g«srtsx. than a portable CD player, the I ukebox i s e ssentially a

email-enabled, Web-ready, WAP-compliant, tri-mode, Bluetooth, 2.5G, SMS device. With music, we' re there already. Audio CDs went through a brief period of being referred to as digital music, but few people refer to their tunes as a digital audio collection —they' re just CDs. Likewise, the digital nature of newer formats isn' t highlighted, they are simply MP3s or RealAudio dips. The only time that the analogue-digital distinction comes up is to point out that something is not digital, for munple a coll««tor bragging about a rare vinyl album. For maybe another year, digital photography will be the buzz, then it will simply become photography again. According to a recent Reuters artide, the Japan Camera Industry Association says tbe number offflm mneras shipped by Japanese camera manufacturers fell 6.4 percent last year, and is expected to drop 7.3 percent this year. Meanwhile, sales of digital cameras doubled last year, and will jump by as much as 30 percent this year. In terms of units shipped, the numbers stiB favour fflm cameras —31.7 uugion shipped versus 11 nulhon dtgttaI camerasshipped lastyearby Japanese camera makers,a«cording to the Reuters report. But Boston-based Infotrends Research Group has predicted that by 2002, the number of digital cameras sold will surpass the number of film cameras sold. With movie making equipment, we are living through a similar transition, where digital video camcorders are now roughlythe same price as premium analogue camcorders. But moving fmm analogue to digital is only the ffrst part of

equipment. We wondered if other readersfelt the same and posed the question. Last month we received some commenir, and even more came in thismonth. Meanwhi/e. produrrs ediror Sean Carruthers arrertded a product brie/ing by hlird driie maker Seagaie,aad was told that one of Seagate'i dere/opmeat priorities wai to reduce ihe noise levelsof its hard drives. Coincidence?

on nohp compulem In the june issue, we printed a letter from Murray Peterson, a reader who was comp/a/wing nhoat r h e

high noise /eve/sof persona/ computers and

I a!pea with the letter by Murray Peterson re. The importance of noise measurements. There are standard pmcedures for this. Some basic modifications for noise reduction are straightforward: radial fans and de-

coupled disk drive mountings. A company doing this is at http//wwwacouo.de/home.htm. Memories: The Atari I 040 was also a cornputer without a fan, wonderfully quiet (as

long as no disk I/O was happening). Friedemann Brauer I full-heartedly agree with Murray Peterson in his letter regarding the noise level of computers. I would gladly pay a significant premium or sacrifice overag performance to have a silent computer. Murray, you are not alone! Let's hope that your letter is the beginning of a revolution! Doug Hartweg Thanks for the useful publication. I' ve just replaced a noisy hard drive and the new one is marginaUy better. There were no available specs on noise generation to

guidemy choice fora new one. Personally, a benefit of my home office is the tranquility, which alfords me the opport unity t o b e m ore productive than i n bustling, noisy clients' oifices. Now that hard drive capacity and speed are more than ample for the most commonly used apps today, perhaps it is timely that new measures of performance such as noise levels be introduced. Count me in! Richard Pootmans To aB those who complain about noisy computers. I would suggest that you look at the M ac G4 Cube. This machine has no fan,and is completely silent.

hecodfng Ihe tech alphabet soup First I would like to thank TheComputer Paper for a being great resource and informative paper that we receive every month. I

personally enjoy it very much. There is, however, one thing that I would

suggest that would help me when reading artides, especially reviews of new products. When you use the abbreviations of techni-

cal terms,(for example, DDR SD in DDR, ' '

in short, spending more time on maintenance than on adding new content and features. If you keep having to add new pages to a site index "by hand," spend time doing endless search-and-replace mutines, and feel like Tou are constantly "rc-invcnting the wheel," it is time to consider moving your site to a dynamically generated framework There are a lot of advantages in moving

from what's known as a "static" Web page framework to that of dynamic Web site creatioa. Ultimately, it will reduce the amount of time you currently spend doing basic maintenance by allowing you to effectively reuse your Web code. It also leverages the pmcessing power of your Web senrer, making it do more than dchvcr simple pages to viewers upon request. It makes it possible to bet-

ter manage the content dcBvcred on your Web pages. With few ezmptions, profession-

al Web development imolves dynamic Web page designand creation, making it relatively easy to do such things as global updates,

add new functions, and provide for a more interactive environment with users. Once you have a basic understanding of what has bmn called "object-oriented Web page publishing," you will never look back at the world of static Web sites. eginning this month, we will look at how

IBM now seems much more eager to seU its PC technology and components (RAM, hard drives, screens, and microchips) and its services to competitors, such as Dell, than it is to rely on sales of IBM PCs for the majority of itl profits. IBM has ridden the PC wave that it had such a role in creating, and has in some sense come full cirde, back to the big picture of

enterprise computing solutions. IBM has a great deal to bepmud of in its creation of the IBM PC, but it still seems almost embar-

rassedby the PC: embarrassedfor its grudging support for the first IBM PC in the Owly

days, for lening Gatesget awaywith the "deal of the century," for its blunders with MicroChannel and OS/2, and for becoming just one of many players (though one of the

top three) in today's PCmarket. In a list of IBM's pmudest achievements on its corporate Web site, the IBM PC is curi-

ouslyabsent.Perhapsit'sbecauseso much of the underlying technology of the 1941 machine was borrowed or bought, rather than created in-house. But that was the genius of the little team

that birthed the PC: they truly made acomputer for the world, and a computer that the

world then made,everywhere. Por that, our thanks, (3

The recording suri'sce on Seagate's new drive can hold more information per square inch than ever before— 52.6 gigsbits per square inch. This works out to a capsdty of 20 GB on each side of a recording phtter. On a drive with two phtters, that means a total of 80 GB of storage stare, which is where the U Series line currently tops out. With more than 51 million units sobl, the

U Series isone of the most popular driveson thc IMdolt, whwh Is sot ~ l he Zcrlcl was ollglally duds' for a rx dnpUM man-

tabturfer that wanted high petgsrmsnceaad high ospsdty, but at a prke that wouldOgow

the performance, too, with an internal transferrate of 50.5 Maps, a larger 2 MB cache,

and a 65 seamd time-to-ready rating (incbing us ever doser to the instant-on PC). The dlives use the 100MBps Ultra ATAIL00 external interface.

Of course, thmwmg the drive into a PC case's metal bradfet will cause the nnise level to go up, and Seagxte is working in concert with manutacturels to bring the overag noise

spend as much as you'd care to on higher-end laser printers, which ager much better speedand other performance and convenience features, but entry-level laser printers can output several pages per minute and cost little more than high-quality inkjet printers.

For someone who needs high-volume printing, the higher initial cost of a laser printer will certainly be oifset by lower printing costs. With a $50 inkjet cartridge, you'd be lucky to print much more than 100 sheets at highest quality reproduction. Contrast this with a $100 toner cartridge for a laser printer, which

can yield 2,000 ormore pages.Added up over the course ofa year of operation, you may End the inkjet costs far more just in ink costs, even if the intial hardware cost was cheaper. Obviously, the more you print, the more the equation tips in the favour of laser. Further, while inkjet printers can olfer a splash of colour on your

typical businesspage, tbe speed of inkjets just isn't up to that of laser printers. Laser printers designed for a heavy-duty businessenvironment can routinely output 30 pages or more every minute, which is

ins for aa kinds of expanded functionality. tshotoshop Elements 9.0 at different points along the surface of a charged drum. When the laser hits the drum, it "erases" the charge on the drum, which then attracts toner sitting in a neighboring compartment. The toner is roBed around to the paper, at which point it's Bxed in place by a fuser unitessentially a giant heater that bonds it to the paper. While this is happening, a scraper on the opposite side of the drum unit takes the excess ink off of the drum, the drum is recharged, 2nd

the whole processbegins again. Tbe big downside of this method of printing is the mechanical mir-

essential: you don't want to be sitting around as inkjet pages crawl out

ror assembly, which has to refocusrepeatedly over the entire width of

of the printer, let alone waiting for the ink itself to dry before you can

the drum unit. This can lead to blurry output around the edges if everything is not aligned properly. Because it's also a moving part. it can result in reliability problems over the life of the printer. One technology that is always loosely considered part of the laser printer field is LED (light-emitting diode) printing. Instead of a laser

start handling the pages.

What is toser' pstauag aad haw does it work? The term "laser" printing typically refers to the process of laser electrophotography, which is technologically similar to what goes on inside a standard photocopier. Essentially, a laser beam is shot at a moving mirror, which is aimed

can hang a system or bring up extraneous bits of information, then begins to search the databases to find concepts that closely match the user's request. "Once a query isgenerated and the results collected. those results can be presented in several ways," Choi adds. "One such way is that the results can be merged and that would give a user aggregated information that can be ranked by relevance." A key feature of the Semantix solution is that users or a system administrator can limit the number of databases that are

accessed. A sales person, for example, may only be able to query sales and product information databases. The chief execmtive, on the other hand, would have access to financial and inventory databases. Targeting spedfic databases in this way can improve the accuracy and speed of a search.

Nlzzmem N «xtende.NRT to wlreleee Intsmmete Continuedfrom page56 mobility group, said in a press statement that end-user senrices are abaady being developed by two wireless partners, Talafonica Movilas aad Vodafoae.He said both camers plan to pilottest mobile intraaat sawices to their customers starling later in the summer.

Many more wireless camera, including BT Cegnet,Cingular, Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile operation, andSprint KS. are also working with Micr osofton thetechnology,ha added.

For small companies, the Semantix solution includesan indexing and fifi ng system for organizing the information in their networ)c The system can also access remote databaws via the Internet, and because its query method is language-based, it can support multiple languages (currently, English, French, German, Italian, and Dutch, with p l ans for other European and Asian languages).

Sorting sm all Replying to customer email queries in a timely way is another problem common to large and small firms. The difference is that

alargecompany can afford to hiresomeone to read and reply to the hundreds of messages it receives in a day. In a smaller organization,human resources are more scarce, which means many email queries can go unanswered. In meeting this need, SER Solutions Inc. (hzp://wwsetsoltatattscom), which is also based in Herndon, Virg., has released its SERiMail Microsoft representative, Ed Wu, said that one of the issues affecting mobile inttanet users is the security of the wireless connection. "There is a fairly high level of security in the MI-2001 technology, but we are aware of the need to protect against 'man in the middle' attacks," he said, referring to the authentication

issue. Because of this, he said, Microsoft is looking attwo security extensions to the MI-2001 serv-

ersoftware forthefuture thatwiU sea end-toend support for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Wireless Tmnsport Layer Security (WTLS) fully

email management and response solution. SERiMail is built on the SERbrainware engine, a modified neural-network system that, according to Mike Ball, vice-president of marketing with SER Solutions, reads and understands like a human and can act on incoming information."What SERiMail does is use that engine to read an incoming email message in freeform structure, understanding not only thc content but the context of the email, and then returns an intelligent reply back to the requester." A key feature of SERiMail is that it the automatically learns from experience, assessing the kind of responses it gives in order to improve. Ball says that SERiMail agows a company to get a handle on large amounts of email and devise preferred responses to types of queries. As well. if there isn't a suitable automated response to a query, that message can be routed to the employee who has the relevant information to generate a reply.

TheSERbrainware engineisalsoa composupportedas native functions.

'These are future features that you will saa in latereditions ofMI-2001," ha said,adding that these versions may be available as early as the ead ofthe year to company users. "Securi ty is the number one issue that users talkabout when we discuss with major customers about the extension of their intranet into a mobile phone environment he said.

The problem with including support for SSL and WTLSwithin the server software, however, is that existing generations of mobile Internet users have WAP-equipped (wiralass application

One of the best sections is Hacking 101,

One point to remember while trying to get the printer to behave: network printers, especially LEDs and lasers, sometimes require power cyding (turning the printer olf, waiting a minute, then turning it on) a few times.

The Phaser 2135 began printing kom a two-page Word document within four seconds of dicking the Print button, and was finished in 15 seconds. In 17 minutes and 43 seconds, it printed 150 copies of a three-page Word document. Yesmath ~ the Ys 450 pdges in under 18 minutes, or 1,080 secondo Put another way. 8TE 24 ppm, pretty dose to Xemx's rated speed. But keep in mind that

printing 450 unique pagesmight result in a di(rerent time. From sleep mode, it required at least a minute to warm up. After that, it printed out

a two-page full-colour image from a digital camera in 20 seconds.Including a oneminute 52-second warm-up, our 36-page,

full-colour PDF document printed in three minutes, 52seconds.That's full-colour printing at 18 ppm, with quality comparable to that of a commerrial printing press. The graphics professionals in our o(6ce appreciated being able to send 1)x17 tabloid print jobs over a network All users in our ofsce who gave it a testrun commented on

Test sogogggsisgdgty of lese Og R Continued from page 70 there are some good things in store.

Psogoosis Ior X Not surprisingly, the March launch of OS X was quieL I suspect this was because Apple wouklpreferto have ag ofthe OS 9 apps from Adobe, Macmmedia, and Microsoft 6rst go OS X-native. Because of this, I suspect that we won't see a big TV marketing blitz until it' s time for the Christmas buying season. On May 2I, App/e derided to pre-instag OS X on ag shipping Macs — a full two months ahead of schedule.

The latest product in the desktop line is the 1.4 GHz Athlon, which uses the same core technology as tbe 1.33 GHz version of the pmcessor. This new processor works on a 266 MHz front-side bus, and requires a DDR SDRAM-compatible motherboard. A new version of the Duron is now out, at 950 MHz.

The 45-nanometer chips are expected to run at less than 1 Volt, at up to 20 GHz, and could be available by 2007.

To take advantage of the pmcessor, the computers will indude a 64-bit operating system, such was Windows Advanced Server Limited Edition 2002, or one of the forthcoming 64-bit versions of Linux. Netburst-enabled Xeon processors were also announced at the end of May. Netgurst is the same technology used in the Pentium 4

Tbe most interesting thing we noted when making tbe switch kom SYSmark 2000 to SYSmark 2001 is the shift in the performance l evels of t h e A t hlon an d Pentium 4 . Previously, the Athlon had opened up a Edrly wide lead over the Peatium 4 processor. Testing the new 1.4 GHz Athlon with SYSmark 2000 shows that it still maintains a lead over the Pentium 4. However. switching both pmcessors over to SYSmark 2001 moves the overall advantage to t h e 1.7 GHz Pentium 4, though the Athlon still leads in

The hnmedlaw reaction is to assume that the Atblon isn't as stmng a processor as initiagy thought, but that's not really the case:

such as Mandrake. SuSE, and Caldera, have followel a similar eelution. Linux rdeasestend to follow two patterns: "large jump" major releases, often basedon the releaseof a newLinux kernel seriesor the GNU C/C++ compiler and libraries, and "small jump" minor rdeasesthat incorporate new drivers, kernel and application updates, new admin tools, and bugand security Exes. Red Hat 7.1 Linux is a"krge jump" release. Based on the acw 11uux 2.4 kernel, it address-

es thingslike support for multipleCPUs,USB devices,FireWire devices, and extrendy large amounts of RAM (64 GB). It incorporates the next geaeration (4X series) of the XFree86 X Window System and can detect a much larger range of video and sound cards. Support

depends in part on what you use Linux for. You need to weigh the inevitable risk and effort of an upyade against the benefits of upgrading. Let'sseehow the options play out.

Sgarlag Pat One valid option is to donothing. Just asyou can still rua Windows 95 on your home workstation, you can run any vernon of Linux you choose. The reasom for stichng with a rdease, swh as Rel Hat 62, may be related to stability.

If your server is stable, and in pmduction, you intmduce risk byupyading, ~ if you haveheavily customized your systea and your kerneLChanas are you're not running a multiple CPU box anyway, so the 2.4 kernel may not buy youmuck ht the vey least, an upgrade is going to cost you time. You can be certain that some parts of your existing systemwill require rework, even if it's only anadjustment to a conSguration Sk. Samba, for instance, basmcorporated new features. When you upgradeyour systen and want tousethe newnatures, you neel to speed some time tahng the new defirult mnfiguration

Sle andadjusting it in accordance with the conSguration Sle Som your ealier release of Samba. With luck everything will work correctly the fiaa time you duow the swltds If aot, you wig havesome ~ ting time intmduced into your schedule.

The same applies to other services. Sendmail has been made more secure. You need to reconfigure it before you use it. Ditto

for telnet, ftp, and ssh. The changesare good changes &om a security point of view, but

they're nottransparent changes.There'saddi-

ed 7.0, preferring to stick with the rock-solid

tionalwork needed before your system is ready to goagain.

for this reason, a may bebetter to keep a Red Hat 62 Web server in pmduction, as is, adding

Support materials, such as books, magazine artides, and Wcbsite support tend to follow what's cunent. Within a surprisingly short period of time it beomescballeny'ng to Snd support for oMer versions of software. You can hedge agamst obsoksceace by keeping cetain kcy individual componcats, such as Apache, gamba, Seadmak and Bind up to date.

Aslong asyou keep upwith all security Exes,staying put is a highly viable option. ggtadng gnetnnrd At a workstarion level. and pecially if you own a laptop, the prospect of upgradmg to new releases is more appealing.

knew if I don't get "hands on" every so often. Doing an upgrade forces me to reexamine each of my services and refresh myself on how they work There are also new things to learn. For instance,Red Hat 7.1 has a more secure way of installing services such as ssb, telnet and

ftp. As you learn the new way of activating these services. you begin to absorb the new security modeL Linux is hn. It's fun to learn and it's fun to rdearn. A successful upgrade is really a
