Tips from ObjectiveMarketer founder Amita Paul:

Instead of jumping into execution, if companies adopt the simple framework of Plan -> Execute -> Learn -> Optimize, then not only can effectiveness be measured, but the knowledge gathered throughout the process can also be used for repeatable success.

The Intel Reader – Accessories, Anecdotes

This is a video I shot with a great guy, Ben Foss, from Intel’s Digital Health Group.  I also edited a shorter version here.
Ben invited me to his and gave me a first-hand look at the The Intel Reader,which takes pictures of text and read it aloud.
It’s designed to provide access to printed text for people with dyslexia, low vision or blindness.
Intel’s Digital Health Group researched and designed the mobile Intel Reader, which is built on the Intel Atom processor and run on the Moblin operating system.
I got to attend the San Francisco briefing today, where I got to see a few great tech writers from sites like VentureBeat, Ubergizmo, TechPulse360 and SiliconValleyWatcher.
Intel Reader - First Prototype and First Product

Intel Reader - First Prototype and First Product

During the briefing, Ben showed the first prototype design, so I shot this photo showing the idea evolve into reality – and a set of photos here.
My take:  it’s interesting to learn about the blend of people and technology research that went into making the device.  It is purpose built and intended to assist people who have trouble reading text.  The ability to “on-the-spot” snap a photo of a newspaper, magazine or voter booklet and have the text read back to you slow or super fast is amazing.
And the fact that you can create a collection of documents and mp3 audio files for sharing (appropirately, not for commercial uses) makes this device ripe for our times.
I think it will help bring together young and older people who need help reading text — people with dyslexia, weak eye sight or other forms of blindness.

  • A look at the future of the transistor from the Solid State Devices and Materials Conference (SSDM) October 30, 2009
    I’m writing this on the plane from Narita airport to Portland as I return from  giving the plenary talk at the Solid State Devices and Materials conference (SSDM), in Sendai Japan.  It is always exciting to visit these device conferences to see the myriad of new options that are being discussed for next generation transistors.   Before I get into the t […]

  • Day One - Web 2.0 Summit & Social Location in Day 2 October 21, 2009
    Fantastic first day and night in San Francisco for the 2009 Web 2.0 Summit. Intel sponsored last night’s reception in the courtyard at the Westin, right before Carly Fiorina almost declared that she was running for the California Senate. John Battelle tried to coax the answer out of her to no avail. Complete Video recap of Day One is here. Day 2 promis […]

  • The original 'rock stars' who defined innovation and integration October 20, 2009
    Today, a small team of engineers will be recognized at the Computer History Museum for designing the world’s first programmable microprocessor in 1971, a 4-bit parallel CPU with 2,300 transistors. That project, from a fledgling integrated memory manufacturer barely 3 years old, was a significant achievement that one can honestly say changed the world. […]

  • Documentary on Intel Xeon processor 'Nehalem Effect' is nonsense October 19, 2009
    I rarely write about topics with such vigour, but this latest video from a so-called documentary team is absolute and utter rubbish. There is no evidence whatsoever that the Intel Xeon 5500 processor can create the kind of data centre disruption witnessed in the documentary. In the spirit of openness, here is the video I am referring to: Here is the text tha […]

  • Our old computer is getting slow... time for a new PC? November 20, 2009
    Yes… I believe the time has come to replaced ‘ye ol shared pc’ in the house. Our little DELL has been great! Other than a dead power supply during the first year (replaced under warranty) - it still runs ‘ok’ - I can hear the fans spinning in the other room. I have to remind myself that I bought this machine a little over 6 year […]
