Harvard study of Gator

An interesting on-going study of Gator by Ben Edelman at Harvard has gathered much interest lately.

Today it appears that the pop-up ads provider Gator is fighting against the study of its software and advertisement placement. On the Greplaw blog Ben writes about Gator blocking access for his test servers, now he is looking for proxys to use for his study.

E Ink and Phillips with paper-like display

InfoSync World has an article about Philips E Ink technology.

E Ink, Philips show paper-like display

Philips and E Ink have unveiled a new paper-like display prorotype at the Society for Information Display (SID) show, boasting higher resolution than anything seen before.

[...]

The display features a resolution at 160 pixels per inch (ppi), which is significantly higher than anything demonstrated previously. Enabled by continued improvement in E Ink's electronic ink display material and Philips' custom designed thin-film-transistor (TFT) backplane and driver electronics, the new displays are a result of the collaboration between the two companies that have been ongoing since early in 2001.

A picture of the device is also shown.
