George Sawyer, who describes himself as “raised in a wood shop,” fashioned the Podbark case from flexible veneer adhered to wood-look paper with a protective screen sandwiched between. They wrap around the iPod with a finger joint, adding an authentic touch.
Sawyer started making them a few years ago, when the fifth gen iPod came out. Podbark currently fits those and the iPod classic 80gig, a comfort to those of us who have older models hanging around. They cost $15-$18, available in your choice of maple (pictured) or walnut.
iPhone (iBark?) and newer iPod models are in the works.

New York, New York - (The Hosting News) - November 26, 2008 - NTT America, Inc. (NTTA), a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation and network integrator, hosting and web services firm, has debuted its newest network security white paper.
The white paper focusing on the growing number and type of network attacks, the impact of low traffic or ’silent’ threats, and how large and small networks can help mitigate this growing problem. The paper will be presented by Darren Grabowski of the NTT America Security and Abuse Team at the IEEE Globecom 2008 conference in New Orleans on December 1. The white paper will be available beginning December 3 on NTT America’s web site at http://us.ntt.net/products/case_studies/.
Darren Grabowski, Manager of the NTT America Security and Abuse Team remarked, ”Spam, malware, phishing and DoS are all growing problems that are not going to go away. Large and small networks need to work together to deploy monitoring devices and report their findings to mitigate this growing problem. Companies often have the tools they need on their network already and with just a small investment in time and effort they can use them to protect themselves in a more proactive fashion with little or no increase in cost.”
The company is presenting as part of a broader session chaired by Dr. Kazuhiko Ohkubo of NTT, with panelists discussing comprehensive approaches related to security improvement in advanced telecommunications networks, new service creation based on the ring of trust, and ROI management for security measures. The session will take place on Monday, December 1 from 1:50 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. EST.
The white paper entitled, The Global Pandemic - The Silent Threat, covers how millions of computers on the Internet are compromised and discusses the ability of a single malicious botnet to harness these machines to take down key Internet infrastructure and create financial havoc. The paper outlines measures networks can take to mitigate these attacks using many tools already available to help prevent attacks and minimize costs.
The NTT America Security and Abuse Team is tasked with responding to security (port scans, malware DoS, etc.) and abuse (spam) issues across the entire NTT Com Global IP Network. They also continuously monitor the network using a variety of tools including those that watch for trends of low bandwidth consumption, compared to legitimate traffic, which can hide the ’silent threat.’

iFrogz, developer of accessories for iPod and iPhone announced the availability of its first line of customizable earphones Tuesday, claiming to offer over 200,000 unique possibilities among three new products.
I could think of any number of words to describe what may be going on in the marketing department at the company’s Logan, UT headquarters, but they can certainly be said to think different.
For starters, the product line is called EarPollution, with individual offerings named Hype, Fallout and Nerve Pipes. The whole campaign calls to mind some kind of industrial accident rather than a new wave of must-have items in the over-saturated earphone market. Then again, standing out from the crowd is a definite strategy.
And stand out the iFrogz headsets do, too. From the ultra-bling options available on the Nerve Pipes to the slightly more downbeat style of Fallout (both over-ear) and the low-profile, in-ear Hype, users can customize color and artwork for headbands, speakers, earpds, even hinges (on Nerve Pipes), giving them what iFrogz CEO Scott Huskinson calls “complete creative control to develop something truly unique and original.”
Styles retail from $19.99 for the Hype earbuds, and $34.99 for both the Fallout and Nerve Pipes. Despite the estimated 235,000 unique combinations currently available the company promises more customizable options will become available at a later date.

I wrote last week about the impending release of Job Compass, an iPhone app that utilizes the phone’s location-aware capability and Google Maps to deliver location-specific results to users’ job search queries. The app had its debut on the iTunes AppStore over the weekend and I’ve spent the past few days playing around with it.
I am happy to report Job Compass is a useful, intuitive and well-designed application that takes out of the equation some of the more tedious aspects of searching for new employment. In the current economic climate, where the unemployment rate in the US has risen in each of the past six months and now stands at a level higher than its most recent peak in 2003, Job Compass is a handy app indeed.
On launch the program asks permission to use your location as a base from which to perform a job search. After a few moments, a Google map pinned to your location appears and you’re invited to search for a job. Users can put in anything they want (now’s the time to think - what’s your dream job?) and choose to search for listings within a 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 mile radius of their current location.
A recent search for writer/editor positions within 10 miles of my house returned five open positions, all of which I could then call up and read about, either in short digest or full description form. Users can choose to send themselves an email with a link to the job description, or open it in Safari and apply for the job right from the iPhone. Though, given the limitations of the iPhone’s virtual keyboard and the raft of text entries usually required in an online job application, sending an email link is almost always going to be your best option. (Note to Ed.: I’m not looking, that was just an example!)
Titus Blair, spokesman for Securicy Ventures, the app’s developer, told Cult of Mac, “we have partnered with most of the large jobs boards with the goal of being the #1 source for location based jobs searches,” and noted that Jobs Compass’s patent pending search protocol currently scans a database of over 2+ million listings, with more added daily.
Blair acknowledges “on Edge it can run pretty slow,” but says “we are working directly with Google on dramatically speeding this up for release 2.0.” Other enhancements in the works for coming updates include displaying maps and search results in landscape mode, the ability to input zip codes to search in other locations, as well as support for listings in the UK and Canada, and possibly other countries down the road.
Job Compass sells for $3.99 on the iTunes AppStore, which, if you’ve just lost your job or are interested in finding a new one, could prove to be a worthy investment.
Depending on your point of view, Ben Stiller’s “Tropic Thunder” was either a bladder-threatening comedy, a hodge-podge of offensive stereotypes or just plain stupid.

Depending on your point of view, Ben Stiller’s “Tropic Thunder” was either a bladder-threatening comedy, a hodge-podge of offensive stereotypes or just plain stupid.
After earning $100 mil at the US box office, it was recently released on DVD. The movie, about a ragtag bunch of actors forced to become real-life heroes, is a triumph of product placement. TiVo plays has a decisive role in the plot and everything from the newly-sexy cherry Chapstick and, yes, the iPod have cameos.
When Stiller’s character Tugg Speedman gets lost in the jungle, he soothes himself by watching Star Trek on his iPod, which was prominently placed in a giant gift basket in an earlier scene.
Not to spoil the plot, but after he’s attacked, he loses his cool and starts wearing his iPod as part of pseudo tribal fetish costume.
Guessing the iPod wouldn’t work with beads strung through it, but it’s a nice idea.
