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.

If you have a table for export in which leading zeros and spaces have significance AND that file will only be viewed in Excel, then you can use an Excel specific convention in those fields where leading zeros or spaces should be preserved (in Excel). To implement this fix, double quote each field with leading zeros or spaces and place an equals sign (=) directly ahead of the first quote

Order Posts by Custom Key revisited

by mozkart
ORDER POSTS BY CUSTOM KEY REVISITED By BRANDON | Published: JANUARY 13, 2009 I’ve gotten quite a few questions about how to get this to work on a specific page, or only within a specific category. I actually had the same issue when building the script originally. The trick is that you can’t just use the conditional tags in the functions page. At that point, it’s already too late because the queries have already been run. You have to create a function and then run it as a filter on one of the early WordPress initializing functions. I chose the wp() function. Here is my revised code (nearly straight from the client’s site).

Zander :: Tree, Line.

by sbrothier
‘This is an ongoing series of constructed photographs rooted in the forest. These works, carried out in Surrey, Hampshire and Wales,involve site specific interventions in the landscape, ‘wrapping’ trees with white material to construct a visual relationship between tree, not-tree and the line of horizon according to the camera’s viewpoint.’

What is Web Accessibility? | Think Vitamin

by Monique

Web accessibility can sometimes be a controversial topic, but a fiery dialogue is a healthy sign of just how much people really care. While opinions may vary on specific issues, one thing is clear: Equal access to information is paramount in the digital age.

Media Types in RESTful HTTP - Stefan Tilkov's Random Stuff

by karlcow

One final approach that I find very interesting was mentioned by Jan Algermissen a while ago: If your format is based on an existing one, e.g. HTML or XML, your server can actually send the same content with different MIME types, depending on the client’s capabilities. A client that only included application/json in its Accept header would then get the content labeled application/json, while one that includes the specific MIME type application/vnd.whatever would get the same content with this label applied.

Monitoring Israeli Colonization Activities

by sbrothier
Monitoring Israeli Colonizing activities in the Palestinian West Bank and Gaza is a joint project between the Applied Research Institute in Jerusalem (ARIJ) and the Land Research Center (LRC). The project, funded by the European Union, aims at inspecting and scrutinizing Israeli colonizing activities in their different forms in the Palestinian West Bank and Gaza, and to disseminate the related information to policy makers in the European countries and to the general public. Specifically, the project will be providing accurate updates on the expansion of existing Israeli colonies, associated by-pass roads and land confiscation. It will also provide detailed baseline data related to specific sites where new Israeli colonizing activities are planned or initiated. Methods used to collect data and monitor the colonizing activities will include remote sensing satellite images, field work, aerial photographs, colonies' masterplans, and topographic maps.

Landscape Futures - Architecture - Domus

by Kazkoo & 1 other
Due to the range of flux that serves as the exhibition's platform, serendipitous convergences emerge. Can Young's techno-nature fauna coexist with Woebken and Okada's human-scaled devices that would allow us to sense the world in the specific ways animals do? Does the scenario that Surface Tension inhabits overlap with that of The Active Layer & Next North?

Raphaël is a small JavaScript library that should simplify your work with vector graphics on the web

by emmanuelc & 11 others
Raphaël is a small JavaScript library that should simplify your work with vector graphics on the web. If you want to create your own specific chart or image crop and rotate widget, for example, you can achieve it simply and easily with this library. Raphaël ['ræfeɪəl] uses the SVG W3C Recommendation and VML as a base for creating graphics. This means every graphical object you create is also a DOM object, so you can attach JavaScript event handlers or modify them later. Raphaël’s goal is to provide an adapter that will make drawing vector art compatible cross-browser and easy. Raphaël currently supports Firefox 3.0+, Safari 3.0+, Chrome 5.0+, Opera 9.5+ and Internet Explorer 6.0+.

One of the great things about Open Data and OpenStreetMap is that you can control what the map looks like. You are not limited to just what the data looks like and you can customise it yourself. I have made a custom Mapnik style file that's optimized for Amazon Kindle display.

USB in a NutShell - Chapter 1 - Introduction

by JJL (via)
Now lets face it, (1) most of us are here to develop USB peripherals and (2) it's common to read a standard and still have no idea how to implement a device. So in the next 7 chapters we focus on the relevant parts needed to develop a USB device. This allows you to grab a grasp of USB and its issues allowing you to further research the issues specific to your application.

Localize It: PodPonics Grows High-Tech Organic Produce In Shipping Containers | Fast Company

by karlcow

use recycled shipping containers as "grow pods," which are outfitted with organic hydroponic nutrient solutions; computer-controlled environmental systems to regulate temperature, humidity, pH levels, and CO2; and lights that emit specific spectrums at different points in the day. The system provides the exact amount of water, lights, and nutrients that a crop requires--so there is no wasted energy (though the pods are still hooked up to the power grid). In a 320 square foot area, PodPonics can produce an acre's worth of produce. The pods can be stacked on top of each other for more efficient use of space.

Re: [CSSWG] Minutes and Resolutions Telecon 201-08-17 from François REMY on 2011-08-18 (www-style@w3.org from August 2011)

by karlcow

To be clear, I never read the HTML5 spec correctly because it's such a waste of time. Seeking the ten features that are usable today among the thirthy that aren't is something I really hate. I prefer to read UA blogs speaking about features implemented in a specific browser. At least, it's effective and immediately testable. Many HTML5 algorithms in the spec will never be implemented anytime soon. By the time they will get implemented, many changes will have been introduced and you'll forgot what you learnt before.

An idiosyncratic example of an mapping project being driven by a personal obsession is Michael Cook’s ongoing exploration of the Toronto sewer system. Wearing urban infiltration, geography graduate student and photographer hats, Cook has been researching the underground constructed landscapes of the Greater Toronto Area for the last decade.
