Tbe surprisefor many operators of Web

In addition, he ruled the domain is cwrently being used in a way that meets at lea

"I think it's an absolutely awful decision,"
he said."Based on the fact that we' ve alread
seen WIPO make clear that they'd like to
move quite expliritly in this direction [protecting geographic names[, there's clearly
the potential that this will become a prece

Geist said the notion that Internet users
would mistake a dot-corn address for the

was "nonsense."
"If there would be any offfrial site, on
would have thought particularly outside

the healthrecord collecting chain. "Our strategy is to apply technology to these various
steps to squeeze our cost," said Schwager.

to come in the world of simultaneous

machine-based language translation. It
indudes a Web utility that will take a foreig
language Web page and translate it into
English.
The results are far from perfect,but
the translation gives you a sense of what th
content is about. For example, when we used
the Web translator on a French site, we rea
the following translation of an excerpt from a
review of a dip-art collection: Io o
spire
f nbig
simplicity of ore ond hold in
hood, 3Spoce
CiipArrirr disappoiarsby his/herfirs stripped
interface ond o catalogue
of clip-orts disappointing. Not gramatically correct, but we at
least got the idea.
There is also a main two-window application, where you type in one language in th
upper window and the machine translated
text appears in the lower window.
One of the ongoing challenges with software-based translation, says LlkH, is that all
the regional variations of dialects and
idiomatic expressions need to be registered
with the speech-recognition engine. A related
factor is that modern languages are living
languages, and so ensuring that the translation dictionaries always refiect current language style and usage is an ongoing project.
At this point no one would argue that sof
ware translation could be used without
human intervention. It allows one to get a
sense of the message in another language.
While some of the translated sentences may
be constructed awkwardly, and their grammar may not be entirely correct, a person sti
gets an overall sense of the intended message
Many of the technology themes presented
by L&H are similar to those presented by

IBM's Speech Technology Group earlierthis

year.For example, IBM also touched on

telephony as being a main benefi

ciary of
speech technology. demonstrating a dial-in

movie theatre locator whose voice responses

to customer queries were entirely synthesized. Both companies also mentioned audio
Web sites, where content could be read back
to a surfer who had perhaps accessed th
site using a Web-enabled eB phone.

For me, Epson's cameras have always be

quite nice but had a few kcy design iss
that prevent them from being all the
could be. This one is no exception. T
resolution on this model is outstanding
with excellent detail at the lowest levels
resolution, and the external tlash sat is
very nicefeature. Earlier Epson cameras
had a problem with the design of the p

back/record selector, forcing you to scro

past "off," which retracted the lens an

wasted batteries. This model fixes tha
but introdures the possibility of hittin
the power button when aiming for th
shutter.
The buffering/processing of images is

the key problem, though, which cou

well leave you holding the camera for

seconds while waiting for the previou
image to save... not very handy if som
Center
thing picture-worthy happens during this
time.
Other small things, however, show rea
ly good forethought, like the fact that t
camera won't extend the lens until you
remove thelens cover, preventing damage
to both (it sounds basic, but some oth
cameras just try to ram their way throu
the lens cover).

Microsoft says one of the key improvements
in Windows Me has to do with system stability and reliability. In Windows Me, approximately 900 key dynamic link library (DLL)
files are protected: they can't be deleted,
moved, renamed, or overwritten.

that in addition to users daiberately or accidentally deleting critical tiles. sometimes,
third-party vendors may want to "optimize"
DLLs so that they work bener with their application. But the process of optimizing for one
application may create instability for another
vendor's application that uses the same DLL
So, in tVindows Me. there'U be no more of
that.

signed drivers, to ensure greater compatibility
with the OS.

Digital controls for the birds

ver the last few years, monitor manufacturers have been adding a lot of digital controls to
correct the geometricalaspectsofthe picture.It'sbeen ourexperi
ence over thatsame peri
od thatthe more ofthese controls that are added,the more out-of-whack the picture tends
to be when the monitorcomes out ofthe box.It's almostasifthe correction options themselves
arecausing the problems: you have so much controloverthe geometric shape ofthe picture that
you can distort it so honibly that itcan take you hours to get it back into shape.
A lot of this is probably simple economics in that it's likely cheaper to ship slightly imperfect
t>bes with a full range of digital correction options than it would be to ship perfect tubes every
time.Undoubtedly,much ofit has to do with the inaeasing size ofthe displays,as well,and the
greaterdistancesthe beams have to travelto hit the smen.
Even recognizing that there are variables that make such digital correction necessary, we pine
for the days when each monitor had a few simple analogue wheels under the bezeL contrast,

The E790 is a perfecI examp)e ofwhy many

people prefer Viewgonic: it had excdlent picture
quality at all the resolutions we tested, with
moire interference creeping m only occasional-

ly.
This is one o ft h e newer models in
ViewSonic's value-oriented E2 series, but it' s
bound to appealto more generalusersaswellas
professionals on a budget.
A short-depth version, the GS790, is also
available with similar performance and specigcations, and offers the same quality to those
who have limited desktop space... for a higher
price, of course (it has a suggested retail of
$709L
