Readers of engadget.com come here to review what is new about technology not get informed about vaporware in moves. I can appriciate the desire to create more content and add value to the site, but this type of article will jsut annoy readers and in general reduce the quality of content.

It was a fair attemt to add value, but in a word off topic.]]>Jul 31st 2009 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/Jul 31st 2009 5:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/Jul 31st 2009 5:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/Jul 31st 2009 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/Jul 31st 2009 8:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/
What's his favorite movie? Hackers?

The Computer wore Tennis Shoes?]]>Jul 31st 2009 11:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/
Sony has been trying to push the Mini Disc as much as they can with the most recent variant being the UMD.

One fictional movie tech that I am personally waiting to materialize is the hover boards from back to the future... until that happens keep writing articles like this one I really enjoyed reading it, and I also enjoy watching the movie every now and then.]]>Jul 31st 2009 11:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/Jul 31st 2009 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/Jul 31st 2009 5:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/Jul 31st 2009 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/Jul 31st 2009 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/ Oh they probably COULD have uploaded it to the eh, 'Net'...but who wants to watch the ~20 odd hour upload at 28.8kbps (33.6 with compression) that they could envision in those days...

Not to mention the fact that it would have tied up the line and prevented that sweet voicemail transcribing...]]>Aug 1st 2009 1:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/Jul 31st 2009 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/Jul 31st 2009 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/Jul 31st 2009 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/Jul 31st 2009 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/Jul 31st 2009 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/
I also knew the guy working on it. He was responsible for the Optical Tape Drive. It was essentially a DVD surface on a fat reel to reel tape. It actually makes sense and seems feasible. I got a chance to read the script - when he thought it wasn't going to be released.

Note: The script was influential enough that I later spent 12 years working on the medical application of SQUID helmets (they look like the big ass system in the beginning of Brainstorm). When I left, we had 256 channels systems in numerous countries. The core technology is very real.

The reality that get's ignored (in making movies) is that these systems require huge magnetically shielded rooms. If you can pick up the weak (~100 femto Tesla) magnetic signals from brain activity, you are going to pick up every bloody signal floating around. A royal PitA.

Still my favorite job - ever! ]]>Aug 3rd 2009 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/Jul 31st 2009 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/movie-gadget-friday-strange-days/
