Fantastic. An examination of Old Navy through a postmodern lens.

] and picturing the web as a programable OS..

] The Anemone Clock is an alarm clock that was designed to
] awaken a person with a little more personality. Unlike
] other alarm clocks, the Anemone clock challenges a person
] when awakening. The twist to this clock is that when the
] alarm goes off the clock rumbles intensely, therefore
] making it a little harder to find the off switch. The
] clock also bounces away from the origin, due to the
] rumbling, thus creating another challenge of getting out
] of bed and chasing the clock around the room, kind of
] like a pet. After capturing the clock, one must hold on
] to the clock while the clock rumbles the person awake.
] This clock was designed because alarm clocks are just to
] easy to turn off, which generally leads back to sleeping
] again. The Anemone clock awakens a person by means of
] sound, light, movement, and interaction.

Sounds like fun, except that I suspect that my "other" pet
alarm clock would take a great interest in getting out of bed
and chasing the clock around the room and then reducing it to
small rubber and plastic pieces. Noisy, expensive chew toy.

] I had heard plenty about how powerful the Cell processor
] is, but all those gigaflops and whatnot didn%u2019t mean
] a whole lot to me. Finally, I'm starting to get a
] clearer picture of what it can actually do. In a
] demonstration at the "COOL Chips VIII" show
] held by Toshiba in Yokohama last week, a Cell processor
] setup decoded 48 SDTV resolution MPEG-2 video streams
] simultaneously. The videos were then thumbnailed, tiled,
] and displayed at a resolution of 1920 x 1080.
] There's more potential, though -- of the eight
] "SPE" signal processors inside the Cell chip,
] six were used for video decoding, one for video output,
] and one was left idle. For those that may have missed it,
] Sony plans on putting a Cell processor inside each and
] every Playstation 3.
