According to this Tech On! report, Nintendo are in the process of evaluating their Wii Remote
accelerometer technology. Seeing if other companies can supply better gear than their current
suppliers can.
One firm - Kionix - definitely can. Currently, the Wii Remote's accelerometer sensors are provided
by two companies: Analog Devices and STMicroelectronics. But Kionix employ different technology,
which makes it "easier to enhance sensitivity".

I love my TiVo DVR, so I had high expectations for Nero’s LiquidTV | TiVo
PC, a combination of hardware and software that brings the features of a TiVo DVR to a PC.
But after testing out a newly updated version of the product, I’m a bit disappointed, as it
suffers from a few glitches that make me hesitate to recommend it.
LiquidTV | TiVo PC is available in two versions: A $200 package that includes both hardware and
software, or a $100 software-only version. I tested the $200 version, which includes a TV tuner
(with antenna), the excellent TiVo remote control, and an IR blaster that allows the remote to
work with your PC or a set-top box. Both versions include the LiquidTV | TiVo software client for
your PC and a 1-year subscription to the TiVo service.
LiquidTV | TiVo PC can accomplish two basic tasks: It can turn your PC into a fully functioning
TiVo-equipped TV, or it can turn that PC into a portable TiVo, whose contents you can view on a
television set or another external monitor.
When used with a PC only, setup is a breeze: You connect the TV tuner to an available USB port
and let the Nero installer go to work. It finds your TV tuner, scans for available channels, and
sets the program guide up accordingly. Using the TV tuner’s included antenna, it picked up
more than 70 over-the-air stations at my home in suburban Boston. You also can connect the tuner
to a coaxial cable to pick up analog cable channels. (The TV tuner is Hauppauge’s WinTV-HVR
950Q; that tuner, when used on its own, supports ClearQAM, which allows you to pick up digital cable
channels. That functionality is not yet supported in the Nero TiVo product, though.)
The software interface is the same as you’d see on any old TiVo set-top box
— and that’s a good thing. It’s easily the most user-friendly DVR
software I’ve found. One nice addition to the PC interface is a video preview window that
plays even when you’re in the TiVo menu system. You can watch, pause, rewind and
fast-forward live TV just as you can when using a TiVo set-top box. You can search for and record
shows and set season pass recordings just as you would on a set-top box, and entering information
using both the TiVo remote and your keyboard makes the experience even easier.
Video quality was consistently very good; it always looked sharp and clear, even when maximized
on a 15.4-inch laptop screen. The audio, however, occasionally stuttered and even shut off
completely a few times. I was using version 1.2.1.2 of the software, which Nero says was updated
just this week to address performance problems in the previous version. (Users of past versions
will get the update.) Nero says this audio problem is a known issue when you’re using a
system that meets only the minimum requirements for the product,
which include a 2-GHz or higher processor and 256MB of RAM. I tested it out on a new laptop with
a 2-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 3GB of RAM.
I also tested LiquidTV | TiVo PC’s capabilities as a portable DVR. The TV tuner can connect
to a cable box via S-Video or composite A/V (an adapter is included, but you’ll have to
supply the actual cables). I was able to make the connection without a problem, but the software
stumbled when it couldn’t figure out how to change the channels on my cable box. (An
included receiver connects to both your cable box and the IR blaster on your PC, which should
allow the software to change the channels.) After repeatedly changing the settings, I was finally
able to get it working, but it was a painfully slow process.
With performance issues like these, it will be hard for LiquidTV | TiVo PC to compete with the
many DVR applications available for PCs — many of which cost less. If you were
to buy the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR
950Q tuner on its own, you’d pay about $100 — and that includes its
own DVR software. The interface quality is nowhere near that of TiVo’s, and it lacks some
of the extras you get with LiquidTV | TiVo PC, such as the ability to access content stored on
other TiVos connected to the same network. But it’s $100 cheaper, and, in my experience,
the performance was better.
I really do want to love this TiVo for PC product, and I think it has plenty of potential. But
its performance needs to match its price.

Description:
MAESTROS METRONOME - holiday sale price of $2.99 until December 25! This is the killer metronome
app. Why? Because it is probably the ONLY one on the App Store that never misses a beat. No
hiccups, no fading in and out -- you pick your tempo and it keeps it there. In fact, this app is
fabulous for composers and recording artists, because in addition to hearing a set tempo, you can
tap out your own tempo on the large "tap beat" pad, and it will tell you the BPM, so that you can
write your chosen tempo in the score. Lastly, for those emergencies right before the concert, when
your instrument goes out of tune, we've tucked in an A440 button! ;-) Please note: if you need lots
of fancy features, this is not your app. If you need a metronome on the iPhone that mimics the
reliable performance of an analog quartz metronome (in our case we normally use a Matrix MR-500 in
rehearsals) and above all KEEPS AND SUSTAINS ACCURATE TIME, then this app is for you. With our best
wishes for happy music-making, from one musician to another:Asteria PS -- if you like our app,
check out our website and see if you like our music too: http://asteriamusica.com

D'après Tech On! report, Nintendo étudie la possibilité d'améliorer
l'accéléromètre de la Wiimote. Pour le moment fourni par deux entreprises,
Analog Devices et STMicroelectronics, une entreprise concurrente, Kionix, aurait le savoir faire
technologique pour améliorer la sensibilité de la Wiimote. Un nouvel
accéléromètrenbsp; permettra à bon nombre de jeux de répondre
aux mouvements de façon plus précise, qui n'a jamais pesté devant
l'imprécision de la Wiimote dans certaines situations ? Enfin précisons que ce nouvel
accéléromètre ne serait envisagé que pour la Wiimote de base et
n'affectera aucunement la technologie mise au point pour la Wii Motion Plus. Pour le moment,
Nintendo n'a pas encore pris de décisions sur son futur fournisseur, mais vu l'importance de
la Wii sur le marché, la bataille doit faire rage...

I released new version of ClIRC - IRC client for Nintendo DS.
Main features:
* A clipboard in all dialog boxes. You can even copy from upper screen, holding "L" button.
* Using up to three servers at the same time.
* DCC chat support and file transfer by DCC in both directions (I really don't know what for, but
in fact :))
* Storing of logs directly to flash.
* Identification of server answers by numbers. I.e. not an interface only but the great deal of
server answers is in English (for non-english servers).
* An alternative mode of nicklist request. Now you can see user's "away" status plus a complete
list of his modes on server.
* Flexible settings of colors, highlights, etc.
* The prototype of scripts for advanced users. You can set commands, which will be executed after
opening or closing of DS (turn away automatically, for example). You can previously make a list of
commands for channels, privates and nick list, where the appropriate variables will be substituted
as well. I.e. mIRC popups' analog :)
* All settings can be changed during a program work - it's no need to bother with ini files.
* Something like multitasking. At the same time you can download several files by DCC, get a list
of channels and chat. Practically all tasks are working simultaneously, except the moment of
connection.
* Nick autocomplete on "tab".
* Special mode for left handed people.
* Input history.
* Ignore.
* Russian in/out and interface (only for Russian version).

captured under diffused sunlight in full auto mode at max (10MP) resolution. I won't say that it
wasn't an extreme disappointment that only one camera, the Kodak, was able to shoot with proper
white balance in this situation and offer us colors as they really look (you'll have to trust me on
this one). The other cameras compensated poorly, possibly metering the diffused light as tungsten
light, and producing a fairly cold image because of it.br script type="text/javascript"
charset="utf-8" galleryPost('camerabattlemodo', 6,''); /scriptbr Other than the color, you can't
make out much from the wide shots. But if you blow the images up to their native resolution, there
are huge differences. Even in the web-compressed images here, it's obvious that Canon captures the
most detail:br img
src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/12/canoncookies2compressed.jpg" width="807"
height="440" style="display:block;float:none;" //p pIt's basically a tie between Sony and Kodak for
second place. Here's what Kodak looks like:br img
src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/12/kodakcookie2compressed.jpg" width="807"
height="466" style="display:block;float:none;" //p pAnd then there's a pretty hard drop in quality.
Panasonic comes in a solid last place here:br img
src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/12/panasoniccookie2compressed.jpg"
width="807" height="384" style="display:block;float:none;" //p pYou can fix the color by manually
choosing a smarter white balance (color temperature), or adjusting the balance in post. But you
can't get the texture of those cookies back. Big win for Canon here./p pstrongMotion
Photography/strongbr It's no secret that many point-and-shoots are horrible for capturing the
spontaneity of a child or pet, in part due to focus lag and often an additional wait before the
shot is actually taken. While DSLRs are the best solution, I wanted to see if any point-and-shoots
could rise to the challenge of capturing some action./p pSo I put them to the test on a Chicago
side street where cars get up to 15-20mph. After repeat testing on each model, once again, we had a
clear winner. Trouble is, it's Panasonic, loser of the resolution match! Panasonic features more
shooting settings than any of its competitors, so my guess is that they spent a lot of time on
optimizing at least this particular preset optimization.br img
src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/12/panasonicmotion.jpg" width="807"
height="518" style="display:block;float:none;" /br The remainder of the competition was fairly
close, and I can't say that even the Panasonic model will capture any incredible sports action
photography. But I will say that the Nikon and Samsung seemed to lag more than the others from
button press to shot acquisition. They both tended to have the blurriest shots as well. Here's a
typical result of the Nikon:br img
src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/12/nikonmotion2.jpg" width="807"
height="556" style="display:block;float:none;" //p pstrongVideo/strongbr Like high-speed
photography, point-and-shoots aren't fundamentally designed for video. But then again, since they
all shoot video, people have begun using them more frequently than they ever used their bigger,
more specialized camcorders, so a test was necessary./p pAfter playing some billiards, I found
Canon's image, though not technically the highest resolution, to be the best. A point as well to
its realistic sound capture of ball on ball action.br img
src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/12/canonvideo.jpg" width="807" height="476"
style="display:block;float:none;" /br Second place goes to Kodak. Even though you can make out a
great deal of grain on the table's felt surface, it also captures a relatively sharp, pleasantly
contrasty image when you examine each ball.br img
src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/12/kodakpicnewsss.jpg" width="807"
height="445" style="display:block;float:none;" /br Last place? This title is, once again, reserved
for Panasonic. For some reason, the camera interpreted the red table as some sort of blurry pastel.
And the sound was a like a fast food drive-through speaker.br img
src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/12/panasonicvideo.jpg" width="807"
height="454" style="display:block;float:none;" //p pstrongFlash/strongbr We've all been there. It's
late. A friend is in town. Your cameraphone can't hope to capture a shot in your drunken stupor,
especially as you're hanging out in a smokey bar. I'd loved to have recreated this scene precisely
in its brilliance, but instead I opted to take pictures of my cat with the lights low.br img
src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/12/sonyflash.jpg" width="807" height="529"
style="display:block;float:none;" /br It's an unfair challenge for a small-lensed, small-chipped
camera to capture a decent picture in low light, even with flash as a crutch, but the Sony did as
well as I could have hoped, illuminating my subject and her background alike, lacking the hotspots
of most flash photography./p pThe other cameras were predictably mediocre, but the absolute worst
at handling flash had to be the Nikon. Not only did it give my cat a washed-out glow, but it didn't
even consider properly exposing that obnoxious pile of boxes behind her. The shame.br img

style="display:block;float:none;" //p pstrongWeird Features and Gimmicks/strongbr img
src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/12/samsung-tl9.jpg" class="center"
style="display:block;" /None of these items should probably determine your buying decision, but I
wanted to mention a few of the more...interesting features of the cameras. The Samsung TL9 has a
set of snazzy analog dials on top that display battery life and remaining memory like a car's
dashmdash;plus it plays music and movies. The Panasonic has categorized an Intelligent Auto Mode
that gives a lazy but informed user a nice way to tell the camera, "hey, you may need to boost the
ISO," without messing with any other controls or gimmicky menus. The Nikon will warn you if a
subject's eyes are closed. The Canon has ditched the standard up, down, left, right menu dial for a
spinning ring...that's bold, if not always intuitive. And Sony will shoot in 16x9 or stretch images
to that ratio for quick HDTV slideshows. Plus, smile/face detectors are everywhere. How did we ever
take pictures before boxes enclosed a loved one's face?/p pstrongSo What Should You Buy?/strongbr
After all my testing, I'd recommend the Canon SD790. Sure, it didn't win every category, but it won
the one that counts mostmdash;detail. It came first in the video category. And it never ever fell
flat on its face./p pMaybe this conclusion sounds a little too clinical to you. If so, let me say
that there are less tangible elements I appreciate about the Canon SD790: It includes the best
built battery charger and it is the only model tested to sync with a computer via mini USB (as
opposed to some annoying proprietary cable or dock). On top of those, it always seems quick to
capture a shot after I pressed for the shutter, though it's still not nearly as responsive as my
prosumer DSLR. The one thing I'd ask for in this camera is a more powerful zoom lens./p pIf you
know an extreme technophobe, you might tell them about the Kodak M1093. It offers the simplest
shooting experience with one button to choose a photo mode, one button for flash toggling and one
button to actually take a picture. Digital cameras don't get simpler than that, and I have to
admit, as the cheapest model in this roundup ($200), with the least techie brand name, it performs
better than I expectedmdash;though it does have a propensity to bump the ISO, producing some
unwanted noise./p pBut as for the Sony W170, while it does feature the widest angle lens with 5x of
zoom, it's clunky in the hand and rarely brilliant in quality. As for the Nikon S560, it takes
mediocre shots. The Panasonic FS20 is inconsistentmdash;bordering on horrendous much of the
timemdash;and features a small screen and a dated interface. Meanwhile, the Samsung TL9 just
completely fails to impress me./p pSo go ahead, pick up the Canon. It seems the company's
overwhelming market share is well deserved. Or don't. I won't lose sleep or anything. Just don't
come crying to me when all your pictures look like crap./p br style="clear: both;"/ a

The MAKE/CDM/Etsy sonic fun-derland event returns - this time @ our new location, Third Ward in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY! Kicking off the new
monthly schedule, the first meet-up will be Thursday, Dec. 11th. Peter of CDM gives details
-Bonus – Make Your Own Beep-It Optical Theremin. For the cost
of parts (about $10), Mike Una is giving a workshop – no experience required,
and you’ll leave with your own Beep-It. (Space is limited!)
Double Bonus – You! We’re looking for hardware and
software projects to share.
Not in New York? Stay tuned – we’ll have some ways to
join up live online with both the CDM community and the Etsy community.
Party: 7-10p, 12/11 (snacks/drinks + lots of sounds for everyone, from
non-musicians to hardcore musical hackers!)
Make Your Own Beep-It Workshop: 7:30-8:30p (arrive promptly!)
Here’s what the event is about, as described by, well, me:
Part party, part mixer, part Science Fair, and part performance, this is an informal chance for
geeksters and the geek-curious to come together, relax, and discover new sounds. The evening is a
gathering of inventors of circuit-bent toys, custom software and patches, interactive digital
& visual instruments, custom electronics, electricity-powered noisemakers, DIY robots and new
acoustic instruments. And it’s open to everyone from hard-core hackers & newcomers to
music lovers who want to learn about the DIY music scene.
And here’s a big bonus: if you liked Michael Una’s Beep-It DIY optical Theremin, as
debuted here, you can make your own for the low, low price of parts: about ten bucks.
Michael Una will demonstrate his optical theremin synthesizer Beep-it and conduct a workshop
wherein attendees will build their own optical theremin. The basics of analog synthesis will be
discussed. No skill level is required- all tools and parts will be provided by the participation
fee.
Pay for your parts by Wednesday 12/10, and reserve your spot at the workshop, at
EventBrite: http://beepit.eventbrite.com/
Logo design by the amazing creator of the CDM logos and endless musical posters, Nat aka onetonnemusic.
See you next week, in New York or online!
We welcome people showing up with gear and creations at the last minute –
bring cables, an extension cord, and (if you’ve got it) small speakers / headphones / PA
(though we’ll do our best to provide some sound). But it does help to know who’s
coming if you want to give us some advance warning, and we can help publicize your work in
advance. Head over to Create Digital Music to fill out the
project submission form. I'm quite psyched for this - it's been a while since the last event
and this one looks to be fully awesome!

"O'Clock" by Nadine Grenier, a student at ESAD Strasbourg in France, is a
kinetic installation made from 300 analog clocks set in sequence to display this sentence every
12 hours when their hands come into alignment: "le temps passe, et chaque fois qu'il y a du temps
passe, il y a quelque chose qui s'efface." The quote is from Jules Romains, a French poet, which
roughly translates in "Time passes, and every time the time passes, there is something that
fades".
