MCI, Pac Bell to ease Net traffic
Hoping to cut down on the Internet traffic jams that have some predicting the demise of the Net and others cursing in frustration, telecommunications giants MCI Telecommunications and Pacific Bell are significantly beefing up the capacity of their Net infrastructures. Both Pacific Bell and MCI plan to offer 622-mbps (OC12) connections to the Internet, dwarfing the 155-mbps (OC3) and 45-mbps (DS3) links offered by other Internet service providers now. As a result, both business customers with direct Net connections and users that get online via Internet service providers will notice some relief from the congestion that increasingly brings Internet traffic to a crawl, according to the companies. For MCI's nationwide Internet backbone, over which 45 percent of all domestic traffic is carried, the switch to OC12 will happen some time next year. "We're on track to do our whole network as OC12 by early next year," said Leslie Aun, a spokeswoman for MCI. She added that most of the … [Read more...] about MCI, Pac Bell to ease Net traffic
Net effect of CDA unclear worldwide
Like all online entrepreneurs, Sebastien Socchard knew there would be risks in starting his business. But he hadn't counted on serving time in jail. "We're just the operators, like France Telecom, which puts its telephone lines in the hands of its clients," the manager of World-Net, an Internet access provider based in Paris, said in an interview with conservative newspaper Le Figaro after his arrest on charges of allowing child pornography to be distributed over his network. Socchard, it is now clear, was in the wrong place at the wrong time. If he had only been in business about 250 kilometers to the east, for example, he might not have been arrested at all. Such is the fickle nature of law in cyberspace, where a citizen of reputedly libidinous France might stand a better chance of avoiding pornography charges under newly revised policies in Germany, its more conservative neighbor. And his odds in the United States would be even more of a question mark, depending on the … [Read more...] about Net effect of CDA unclear worldwide
Technologies Time Forgot: Commodore 64
Andy Walmsley writes: From its release in 1982 through to the final models rolling off the production line in 1992, estimates suggest as many as 22 million Commodore 64 units were sold worldwide. This makes it the most popular 8-bit home computer in the world and it's not hard to understand why. The machine's sound and video capabilities were streets ahead of its main rival, the ZX Spectrum. It had a built in sound and video connector, on board parallel and serial connectors, built in joystick ports and even an expansion cartridge interface. This substantial offering was backed up by a meaty power supply that was always on top of the job (unlike many others) and a host of affordable peripherals which were all made by the same manufacturer and therefore enjoyed some reasonable chance of working at the first attempt. While we practically consider interconnectivity and interoperability as God-given rights these days, getting the old 8-bit machines to work with third party peripherals … [Read more...] about Technologies Time Forgot: Commodore 64

Caere puts forms on the Net
Caere is taking its forms technology to the Web. OmniForm Internet Publisher lets users (even non-programmers, says Caere) distribute electronic forms over the Internet and intranets to enable commerce. The product supports HTML, Adobe Acrobat PDF, and Caere's Open Form Mark-Up Language (OFML) formats which allows graphics-rich forms to be preserved over the Net. "Forms are the documents of business transactions, be it an invoice, purchase order, packing slip or questionnaire. For commerce to take off on the Internet, there needs to be a forms equivalent. OmniForm Internet Publisher fills this very important gap," said Dean Hovey, imaging products division vice president and general manager. "OmniForm Internet Publisher ... will allow Web site developers of all levels to quickly create powerful, useable forms which can further harness the potential of electronic commerce and other transaction-based activities on the Internet." … [Read more...] about Caere puts forms on the Net
Net sex sites wilting
According to a report in the Boston Globe, erotic Net sites are losing their grip on the hearts, minds and other parts of users. Based on an NPD survey of 4,000 US home users, the report suggests sexually explicit sites were visited by only 19.4 percent of Internet users in April, compared to 25.5 per cent in January. NPD said the federal Communications Decency Act is the chief reason - it's now illegal to publish "indecent" material on networks where children might gain access, causing some sites to charge an entry fee. The hugely successful Penthouse magazine Web site dropped from 8.1 percent in January to 3 percent in April after switching to a fee system. Also blamed: more women on the Net and waning novelty. … [Read more...] about Net sex sites wilting
Aztech puts wavetable audio into software
Created in conjunction with Brooktree Corporation, the software makes a cost-effective upgrade for Aztech's FM sound cards and audio telephony products, the company claims. Users stand to save about £40 compared to a hardware solution. Software WaveTable uses recordings from instruments and stores the audio files on the host PC's hard drive rather than kept in ROM. The file is then decoded by the CPU and processed through the sound card. The product has more than two years of compatibility testing behind it, according to Brooktree. "Consumers want CD-quality sound but are unwilling to pay for it ... we have developed a software-based product that, when combined with a low-cost Aztech sound card, creates wavetable quality sound at a fraction of the cost of hardware-based products," said Robert N. Gunn, vice president and general manager of Aztech Labs. … [Read more...] about Aztech puts wavetable audio into software
Creative pulls out of bloody CD-ROM drive battle
The CD-ROM drive battlefield has claimed a big casualty with the news that Singapore giant Creative Labs. is pulling out of the market. The extremely rapid rate of change in the market has led analysts to forecast a blood-bath for some time, after makers were left with large amounts of unsold inventory. Creative said it was shutting the operation "in an effort to reduce future inventory risks and because of current market volatility". The move will cost the firm, best known for its SoundBlaster audio card range, a one-time charge of $10 million. Creative had been producing more than 100,000 drives per month. Additionally, inventoried product will strike out a further $20m for Creative, relating to eight-speed CD-ROM drives and VL-Bus 3-D cards. … [Read more...] about Creative pulls out of bloody CD-ROM drive battle
Shh … it’s the silent PC
Silent Systems' SilentDrive is a foam and polymer slip cover that wraps over 3.5in drives to almost halve noise from 40 decibels to 24 decibels. That's about the level of home equipment like TVs, VCRs and phones. Chassis vibration - another key noise source - is also cut by up to 70 percent. Already patented by Silent Systems and licensed to BIOS specialist Phoenix Technologies, the company sees cutting out the racket as a key component in making the perfect home PC. And it's not just the irritation factor that counts, according to Silent. Noise can also negatively affect communications and multimedia hardware. "As PCs move from the office to the living room, PC manufacturers are investing heavily in value-added features such as stereo, telephony and television capabilities," company president Greg Wyler told an audience at the recent Windows Hardware Engineering Conference. "The noise from whining hard drives and fans is a major impediment to PCs reaching this potential market. … [Read more...] about Shh … it’s the silent PC
Technologies Time Forgot: The Vic-20 and the Commodore 64
"The Commodore 64 deserved more respect..." Jon Bernstein writes: I probably don't deserve to write silicon.com's eulogy to the Commodore 64 because I have a shameful secret. A secret, nearly 20 years later, I only now dare tell. I'd had my C64 - a Spectrum replacement - for just a couple of months when in an after school session playing a tennis sim it all went wrong. I can't even remember the name of the game but I do remember losing a vital point in the third set and, more embarrassingly, I do remember losing the plot. In a fit of McEnroe-esque rage I slammed my fists against the beige and bulky keyboard. My Commodore 64 was no more. Having nagged my mum to buy me the thing I couldn't now tell her that I'd had an expensive accident. Instead I pretended I was still using it, disappearing into my bedroom for hours on end. The lying was easy; after all I'd previously pretended that I was using it for schoolwork. (She still doesn't know, so if you don't mind can we keep this between … [Read more...] about Technologies Time Forgot: The Vic-20 and the Commodore 64
