Social television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

by sbrothier
Social Television is a general term for technology that supports communication and social interaction in either the context of watching television, or related to TV content. It also includes the study of television-related social behavior, devices and networks. Social television systems can for example integrate voice communication, text chat, presence and context awareness, TV recommendations, ratings, or video-conferencing with the TV content either directly on the screen or by using ancillary devices. Social television is very active area of research and development that is also generating new services as TV operators and content producers are looking for new sources of revenue. While a number of existing social television systems are still at a conceptual stage, or exist as lab prototypes, beta or pilot versions are available commercially. White-labeled social TV platforms have also emerged (such as Visiware's PlayAlong, LiveHive Systems and Ex Machina's PlayToTV) which allow TV networks and operators to offer branded social TV applications. On the ratings front, companies such as SocialGuide, Bluefin Labs, Networked Insights and TrendrrTV have emerged to measure the social media activities tied to specific TV telecasts.[1] In essence, these new companies seek to serve as the Nielsen Ratings of the social televisions space.

This is disturbing, when you consider that Google has made a lot of hay about the openness of the Web; Google wouldn't exist if it weren't for truly open Web standards.

Israeli settlement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

by sbrothier
An Israeli settlement is a Jewish civilian community built on land that was captured by Israel from Jordan, Egypt, and Syria during the 1967 Six-Day War and is considered occupied territory by the international community.[1] Such settlements currently exist in the West Bank. Israeli neighborhoods in East Jerusalem and communities in the Golan Heights, areas which have been annexed by Israel, are considered settlements by the international community, which does not recognize Israel's annexations of these territories.[2] Settlements also existed in the Sinai and Gaza Strip until Israel evacuated the Sinai settlements following the 1979 Israel-Egypt peace agreement and unilaterally disengaged from the Gaza Strip in 2005.

"Countries do not exist where I am from. The discovery of the Higgs boson led to limitless power, the elimination of poverty and Kit-Kats for everyone. It is a communist chocolate hellhole and I'm here to stop it ever happening."

Ultimately we're trying to build the next Visa, not the next PayPal.  We're building a human network based on how we think the future of payments will work. The current model needs to be blown up.

"Somehow, robotically, they will have to go in there and manage to put it in a container and store it for infinity, and that technology doesn't exist. Nobody knows how to pick up the molten core from the floor, there is no solution available now for picking that up from the floor."

HTML5 Cross Browser Polyfills - GitHub

by srcmax & 2 others
So here we're collecting all the shims, fallbacks, and polyfills in order to implant html5 functionality in browsers that don't natively support them. The general idea is that: we, as developers, should be able to develop with the HTML5 apis, and scripts can create the methods and objects that should exist. Developing in this future-proof way means as users upgrade, your code doesn't have to change but users will move to the better, native experience cleanly.

Far Better Than 3-D: Animated GIFs That Savor A Passing Moment | Co.Design

by sbrothier
You know how people sometimes say that jazz is the only truly American art form? Animated GIFs are like the jazz of the internet: they could only exist, and be created and appreciated, online. That said, PopTart Cat is not exactly on par with Thelonious Monk. But photographer Jamie Beck and motion graphics artist Kevin Burg may have finally found a way to elevate the animated GIF to a level approaching fine art, with their "cinemagraphs" -- elegant, subtly animated creations that are "something more than a photo but less than a video." Here's one of my favorites:

The Art of the Animated GIF

Interview with Anne Rice: 'Vampire' writer talks about creating characters and stories you can sink your teeth into | NJ.com

by bouilloire
Ahh Anne Rice, je l'aime aussi pour ça :) Q. It is complicated, which is why I have such mixed feelings about “Twilight.” It’s so sanitized. A. It’s based on a really silly premise: that immortals would go to high school. It’s a failure of imagination, but at the same time, that silly premise has provided Stephenie Meyer with huge success. It’s almost like a stroke of genius to put vampires in high school. They just graduate over and over again. Q. I hated high school. A. Doesn’t everyone? The idea that if you are immortal you would go to high school instead of Katmandu or Paris or Venice, it’s the vampire dumbed down for kids. But it’s worked. It’s successful. It makes kids really happy. Q. It seems those books are sanitized whereas in the rest of pop culture, you’ll see very young girls dressed in an overtly sexual manner. The vampires are wholesome compared with the rest of what’s out there. A. I don’t think vampires are very wholesome. They’re fantasy characters, and we have to keep reminding ourselves of this. They don’t exist. I get e-mails from people who are outraged that I watch “True Blood.” They say, “How can you condone the evil of ‘True Blood.’” I say, “Are you kidding? Vampires aren’t real. Keep that in mind.”

Network Realism: William Gibson and new forms of Fiction | booktwo.org

by karlcow

Network Realism is writing that is of and about the network. It’s realism because it’s so close to our present reality. A realism that posits an increasingly 1:1 relationship between Fiction and the World. A realtime link. And it’s networked because it lives in a place that’s that’s enabled by, and only recently made possible by, our technological connectedness.

Hi James, (I guess I should put that somewhere, maybe on my Web site later today) About the article on Network Realism http://booktwo.org/notebook/network-realism/ I haven't read Gibson's book - Zero History, but I have written something about "Network Opacity" which somehow relates to the idea you are explaining. I usually do not like to use the word "Privacy", because I do not think it really exists as a binary concept. I prefer to use the concept of "Opacity" as a continuum of information permeability. More or less opaque, depending on contexts, people, distances and *time*, we will access to the information about people. The Internet network has a tendency to make the opacity super thin and that creates all issues that people/media call "Privacy". You can read about it "From Privacy To Opacity - Digital Me Management" http://www.w3.org/2010/api-privacy-ws/papers/privacy-ws-3 Let's go back to "Zero History". The value of things is motivated by a few parameters: * difficult to reproduce * difficult to access History has value because we forget. In a society, where all our memories are always accessible, identically, and even in some circumstances shared, memories has suddenly no meaning. They became part of the present. The value of remembering is (was) higher because we have a risk to forget. The opacity of time becoming thinner this risk is less important. Then the paradigm changes into something else. Maybe in our capacity to keep all these data always. We become obsess by data backups, we do not want to loose anything digital, because it becomes easier and cheaper to keep, to have access to the past at anytime. The past is part of the present. As for the future, it doesn't exist.

Transmedia: A Naive But Omnivorous Form - JawboneTV

by gregg
there is no clear agreement on what defines a transmedia project, though Henry Jenkins, MIT Professor and author of the canonical Convergence Culture, has defined 7 core principles of transmedia narrative. More generally I’d argue that all transmedia properties exhibit the following four properties: 1.    all platforms are considered from the inception of the project as valid vehicles to support narrative; 2.    different platforms are used to tell different aspects of a story; 3.    participation and sharing is encouraged (but not necessary); 4.    while users are encouraged to draw connections between platforms, stories can exist separately from one another in the fictive universe.   Like any genre it’s defined by cliché, so many transmedia properties feature one or more of the following: a conspiracy theory, a young girl in peril, a kidnapping, some hackers, a sinister corporate organization subverting the state, a pandemic, an eco-disaster, a war in Africa/the Middle East, terrorists, CCTV cameras you can hack, clues in the source code that require you to phone a journalist’s mobile answering machine, etc…
