아이팟 터치가 내 손 안에 들어왔다!

Music Sequencer 를 다양한 인터페이스, 보기에는 간단할 것만 같은 인터페이스로 작동시키는 경우를 나열해 본다.
언제나 그렇지만, 이런 장비에 달려들어 만지작거리던 아이들과 성인들이 제풀에 떨어져 나가는 이유는 '음악을 만드는 방법'을 모르고는 오래 재미를 느낄 수 없고 정작 음악을 만드는 방법을 아는 전문가들에게는 유치하게 느껴질 것이다.

간혹 이런 경우는 있다. 어른이 듣기에는 말도 안되는 시퀀스가 만들어졌는데 어린이는 그 결과에 대만족하고 또 다른 대만족스러운 - 어른들이 보기엔 유치만빵이지만 - 결과를 기대하며 계속 매달리는 것이다. 상대적으로 매우 드문 경우...

인터페이스 측면에서 봐야지 상품 측면에서 보면 안될 것이다.

The Bubblegum Sequencer - Making Music With Candy

It's an old adage that no security measure is worth anything if an attacker has physical access to the machine, but things like heavy-duty disk encryption are supposed to at least slow things down. Sadly, that may not actually be the case, as a group of Princeton researchers has just published a paper detailing an exploit that requires little more than a spray duster and a screwdriver. Since the encryption key for systems like BitLocker and FileVault lives in RAM, all an attacker has to do to get it is cool the RAM modules with the air duster held upside down, yank the DIMM, and insert it into another machine, where it can then be read to access the key. Of course, this assumes that you've already typed in your password, but check the video after the break to see how long bits in RAM stay written -- even if you've turned off your computer, there's a chance the key can still be read. Looks like there's an actual benefit to MacBook Air's soldered-in RAM after all, eh?

윈도우즈 로그인 암호 획득

Finally things are starting to get a little more futuristic around here. Beginning next Monday, bus riders in San Francisco will get a chance to hop at least one ride that will take them to the Columbus stop, Van Ness stop... and the World of Tomorrow. Thanks to the combined effort of SF's Muni and Cisco, the "Connected Bus" will be hauling around free WiFi and touchscreen maps on its walls (which will also carry updated connecting transit information). Sure, it's no citywide wireless coverage, but combined with the BART train WiFi rollout, it's certainly a start. Cisco tested the bus with 15 riders checking email and downloading music and movies on laptops, and say that the signal was "strong and uninterrupted," though they admit they haven't tested the system during a 15-player fragfest. Anyone up for a ride?

You'd better watch your back Adobe, because it looks like you've got company in the 3D picture game. Stanford University researchers have recently hit upon a method of image sensing which can judge the distance of subjects within a shot. By using a 3-megapixel sensor which is broken into multiple, overlapping 16 x 16-pixel squares (referred to as subarrays), a camera is capable of capturing a variety of angles in one frame. When the images taken by the multi-aperture device are processed by proprietary software, location differences are measured from each mini-lens, and then combined into a photograph containing a depth map. This procedure allows the same image to appear at different angles, provided the subject has depth to begin with (i.e., isn't a flat surface). Here's hoping this technology makes it into consumer products pronto, ASAP, and forthwith.
