 Send to email | NBC Lawyers In Panic Mode, Scrambling To Stamp Out Internet Olympics Feeds in General |  By Silicon
el 08-Aug-2008 | We view the Olympics as a global sporting tradition and consider ourselves citizens of the world, so we don't have much patience with country-specific broadcasting rights. Thus, we're happy that we (and you) can watch the Olympics live right here on on SAI.
(Frankly, we wish we could watch the Olympics on NBCOlympics.com, because their feed is marvelously crisp, but of course NBC is doing everything it can to prevent that. Specifically, NBC is trying to make us watch tonight, on tape delay, when the opening cermonies will be as stale as yesterday's bread. And when they do broadcast events on NBCOlympics.com, of course, they're not about to let us embed them.)

| MacBS2 lets you program your Basic Stamp in OSX |  Although most Make readers have ported their projects to the Arduino microcontroller by now, there are probably a few that still use the trusted Basic Stamp.

| Stamp-based parking assistant |  As HackedGadgets put it:
This Basic Stamp Microcontroller Based Garage Parking Assistant may be overkill for the application but that is what makes it fun. What fun would it be to hang a tennis ball from the ceiling when you can use technology to give you a traffic light that represents your optimal parking distance.
