You heard right — the GPL code has now been posted for the world to see, meaning that there’s just one link standing between you and umpteen delicious tarballs. Mmm, tarballs.

Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about technology, multimedia, and digital entertainment
The last Switched On discussed the innovative approach that Livescribe has taken in its core note-taking function while touching on some of the company’s grander plans to create a wide array of applications and content, taking it far beyond its failed predecessor, the Logitech io2.
Livescribe is building an ambitious house in a neighborhood that has seen a lot of foreclosures; Pulse will need to rewrite history to be successful in the traditionally challenged smartpen market. Indeed, between the time that the Pulse was announced and shipped, Logitech announced it was writing off the market for now. In addition to improving on note-taking, the company points to the reduced size of the Pulse as being less obtrusive than previous smartpens and thus more appealing to use. One of the keys to smartpen use is that it is less obtrusive than, say, a PC using Microsoft OneNote, which also has the ability to synchronize audio to written notes.
However, the Pulse’s OLED display offsets at least some of the gains made toward discretion by shrinking the pen’s girth. Worse, to get the full benefit of the Pulse’s cool ability to resolve conversations in a room using 3D audio recording, you must wear earbuds that contain embedded microphones. It’s hard to imagine something that could be more off-putting to a speaker than seeing an audience member wearing earbuds, and it would engender curiosity when that speaker notices that they are connected to a pen. Fortunately, the Pulse does a very good job of recording even without the earbud-based microphones.

Oh, that’s right — the Wiimote! For the second time in as many months we’ve got ourselves a bona fide Wiimote wannabe, except for the PC. GoLive2’s Stix collection (200 / 400) are wireless motion-sensing controllers designed to play PC and internet-based games, with Games for Windows titles and “thounsands of free web-based games” called out in particular. According to Brian Zheng, the president of Plahut, Stix will “completely change the way people experience online and PC gaming,” though we definitely have our reservations about that. The Stix 200 will supposedly be compatible with just 2D games, while the Stix 400 gets down with 3D titles; pricing has yet to be disclosed, but feel free to waste your time check these out in August.
