iPods for Singaporean museum tours
Dan "TCP/IP hacker" Kaminsky sez:
So I was out in Singapore, giving my "Black Ops Of TCP/IP" speech at Black Hat Asia. Stuck around a while after the con, because heh -- I'd never been in Asia, let along Singapore. So, my last day out there I went to the Singapore Museum of Art, and what do I see as I walk in the door but the Mac flat panel. No big deal -- lots of Mac fans out there; there was even this cute l'il "iMirror" (a mini-mirror built like the new iMac). But I get a bit closer, when I realize something:Pic 1, Pic 2 Discuss (Thanks, Dan!)You know how museums have "Audio Tours" on tape or localized radio/IR? Check this out -- they gave out iPods, loaded with MP3s describing all the exhibits throughout the building! Everything was organized into folders and absolutely trivial to manage. Best non-music use of an iPod I've ever seen. I snapped a few photos on this *mind bogglingly* small 1.3mpixel camera I bought, but there wasn't much light to support.
