Last of the Old School Startups -- Ignoring Conventional Wisdom, a New Technology Company Builds Computer Hardware Products by Hand in Founder?s Garage
Disgusted by the high stress and often poorly managed Seattle area software industry, Zan Oliphant left corporate America in September of 2003 to form a new company called Zanware ? a play on his name."I wanted to create a line of hybrid products ? products that require both hardware and software development, and that use TCP/IP to communicate between the two," said Oliphant. "Fellow engineers in the industry warned me that the days of hand crafting hardware in the garage are over, and new technology required massive amounts of capital just to get started," he added.By April of 2004 Zanware released it's first product, the Zanware PC Controller, a powerful, yet low cost remote TCP/IP controller for your personal computer. Each controller mounts in a standard UL 3-gang box, and is powered through the Cat5 Ethernet cable. Just like any networked computer, the controller has an IP address, and communicates through the TCP protocol to your networked Windows (soon Linux and Macintosh) computer.These...

MP3 Players ? Many Capable Underdogs vs. the 800-lb. Gorilla
Anyone lover of gadgets and portable electronics knows what an Ipod is ? and in fact, many people who have no interest in personal electronics know exactly what they are. With over 21 million units shipped, and over 75 per cent of the personal Digital Audio Player (DAP) market worldwide, it's no surprise ? Apple Computer Inc. has become the 800-lb. gorilla of portable music players.
What most people don't know is the variety of alternatives to the Ipod ? devices which can play music, videos, and more, and which accept Secure Digital (SD) cards, Compact Flash, and Memory Sticks, and replaceable (or rechargeable) AAA batteries, often for a lower price than a comparable Ipod. The iRiver devices offered by South Korean manufacturer Reigncom range from small players intended to hang on a keychain or as wearable jewelry style devices to full-fledged hard-drive based units pointed squarely at the Ipod's market.

TV Remote Controls
Today sitting on a couch, we can flip through hundreds of T.V. channels, tune the T.V. to suit our requirements and perform a host of other operations without moving an inch. The T.V. remote control has become an indispensable gadget.
The first T.V. remote, called Lazy Bones, was made in 1950 by the Zenith Corporation. It had a wire attached to it, which connected it to a motor inside the T.V. By pressing the buttons on the remote, viewers could move the motor in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction to move up or down channels. But the remote wire caused plenty of accidents, with people constantly tripping over them.
Subsequent developments led to the manufacture of the wireless remote, which used ultrasonic sound, and then the modern T.V.
remote, which uses infrared light to send signals to the T.V. The low-frequency infrared light is invisible to the human eye and can only be detected by the T.V. receiver.
