Having begun the mobile phone journey, it's now onto televisions. Google is working with Japan's Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., one of the largest consumer electronics manufacturers, to commercialize flat panel television sets that let you access online videos. Instead of relying on Apple to encourage users to buy a set top in order to get YouTube on their TVs, Google's going.http://mashable.com/2008/01/08/google-youtube-internet-tv/ Franken, Coleman raise millions- January 8, 2008 A U.S. Senate race in Minnesota is expected to become one of the most expensive this election cycle, with both candidates raking in campaign cash.Tags: cycle election expensive candidates rakinghttp://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Top_News/2008/01/07/franken_coleman_raise_millions/7056/ DVD sales down 3.6% in '07- January 8, 2008 Home Ent News: Holiday figures less than expected -- The homevideo biz's hopes for a happy ending for 2007 don't seem to have come true.Tags: hopes biz homevideo happy endinghttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/variety/headlines/~3/212848583/VR1117978576 Fear of women in power- January 7, 2008 The Left Coaster digs down into misogyny and Hillary's candidacy, quoting a Kathleen Hall Jamieson interview with Bill Moyers that I missed. I'll have to watch that one. I enjoyed the most recent interview with her, and was happy to hear Moyers invite her back for next week. Jamieson is director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center and communications professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Long live public broadcasting. Later: Watching the Dec. 7 video now. You have to check.http://blogs.opml.org/amyloo/2008/01/07#fearOfWomenInPower No Bag of Holding but Still Lotsa Fun- January 7, 2008 When I was around twelve I remember the first gaming store opened at Village Square, our local outdoor shopping center. I thought it was one of the coolest shops ever with all of its pewter figures of various dragons, wizards, trolls, etc...; multi-color, multi-sided, translucent dice; assorted role playing and board games; and those amazing covers of the dungeon master guides. They also had a whole backroom dedicated to playing RPGs (role playing games). Most of my friends during that time...http://www.frustratedgeek.com/2008/01/no_bag_of_holding_but_still_lo.php EFF Busts Bogus Online Testing Patent- January 4, 2008 Panaqqa writes "It's taken some time, but the EFF's Patent Busting Project is making progress. In the latest news, the USPTO has now officially rejected one of the 10 awful patents targeted, making the world safe again for administering tests over the Internet. This joins the reexamination of a patent on automated remote access of a computer over a network and the revocation of a patent on recording live performances to CD as notable successes for the EFF."Read more of this story at...http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/211171950/article.pl DRM Officially Dead. Sony BMG Drops It.- January 4, 2008 I guess you can call it peer pressure. All the major labels - Warner, EMI, Vivendi - have already given up on DRM (remember who started it all with his fiery imagine a world without DRM speech) and Sony BMG probably woke up, looked around, realized that everyone else is long gone from the DRM party, and decided to quickly follow suit before the landlord shows up. Remember, this is the company that embedded an evil rootkit on CDs - and then did something similar again with USB flash sticks....http://mashable.com/2008/01/04/drm-officially-dead-as-even-sony-bmg-drops-it/ Caucus Virgin- January 4, 2008 I wrote an email to Deven about my caucus experience, so I figure I'd repost it here in case anyone cared: I walked downtown after work and ended up number 72 out of 315 in my precinct (that's 7 delegates if you're keeping score at home). Even at 6:00 you could tell the Obama part of the room was filling up the fastest, primarily with younger people and old guys with beards. There was a pretty small group of middle aged women in the Hillary camp, a group of middle aged dads in the...http://www.tackleaction.com/2008/01/caucus-virgin.html TV Sucks, Internet Rules. UK Advertising Goes with the People.- January 4, 2008 Not only is America fatter than the Brits, but we watch more TV, too. According to Group M, a subsidiary of WPP Group, advertising on the Internet will overtake television ads in the UK by next year. Sweden's day is expected to come even sooner, with estimates that Internet ad spending will overtake that of television ads by the end of 2008. That's very soon; even sooner than expected for the US, where print and television ads are still rather prominent, and advertising overall is expected..http://mashable.com/2008/01/03/uk-internet-ads-to-surpass-tv/ Is There A Conflict Between Open Social Graphs And Your Privacy- January 4, 2008 Techblogger Robert Scoble has apparently been barred from Facebook for running a script from Plaxo to export his relationship information (or "social graph," as the kids say), in violation of the site&39;s terms of service. On one read, this makes him a martyr to the cause of open social graphs. I&39;m a bit more ambivalent.Intuitively, it makes sense for users to be able to make whatever use they please of information about their own social networks. But in a social network,...http://techdirt.com/articles/20080103/124455.shtml |
