the youTube founders came up with a ‘video’ for the occasion
“Two Kings came together” ?? wtf!
Honestly, I would rather not be in their shoes. Good for them that they cashed in like they did.
But not being a dork like they are: priceless.
It reminds of the “King of the World”.
Somehow the gluttening reference to royality is a sure way to make you disappear.
does sound awefully slow: one point five frames per second. Actually it is a number that makes me happy: It is the performance of the first beta test transfer of the interdubs software that I write. It allows the direct exchange of material from discreet framestore to framestore. Runs in the background, once set up (2 command lines on each end, zero install) it needs not further interaction.
Uncompressed 720×486 at 1.5fps in the background surely beats fedexing a digibeta.
And the 1.5 fps limit is not on my end. I should be good for a bit more. Actually so much more that it’s not worth wondering about it: There are no connections out there that could reach it. I think.
Didn’t google try their own video thing? If you have it, then you can pay 1.6 billion for making your own solution worse than the one coming out of a garage somewhere. The only problem is, that once you start doing this you loose the edge. Gmail was the last thing that google did that really worked. Search is still of amazing quality for them. Maps is decent,
but video they screwed up, and now they pay the equivalent of the GDP of Mongolia for their mistake. OK almost, that one is 1885 Millions.
I like
the idea
how quick the iTunes 7 cover art download was able to inspire this
that blogsNow keeps finding these things for me
I dislike
the story (or absence thereof)
the cheap-o Monty Python ripp off, wasn’t funny when Guiness did it a couple of years
the random violence on the level of fart humor
the fact that the quicktime is 4 by 3 aspect ratio!! People, please think. Not outside of the box,
just along it’s corners.
The president, the terrorists, the lies
Olbermann delivers a commentary. Watching it you can also ‘test’ the Microsoft video service.
Much like Zefrank does not seem to blink, Olbermann does not need to breath when he talks.
He has a good writer though. And he is not holding back.
Variety quoting George Lucas on the future of movies. Or rather the non existence of that concept. I think he has a point or two and misses on others. But it is worth mentioning since Mr Lucas spend some time on making films.
Last August I stopped working at Method Studios in Santa Monica. Among other things I did their website. Today a new design and back end went live at www.methodstudios.com. I have nothing to do with this version of the site. Of course I have an opinion about it:
To make things overall lighter is a nice touch. That’s where the good news about the new site ends. It’s design is cluttered. “Copyright 2005” prominently points to what seems to have been a rather long internal process. (Has been corrected.) Much care went into the usability of the original ‘dark site’. It tried to connect people quickly with the content that they would be looking for. None of this is left. Changes in navigations are sometimes needed. But ignoring years of user interaction is plain stupid and arrogant.
Method Studios had a website from it’s inception in 1998. The concept of the site was to show all the work that the company had ever worked on. At least this has not been changed. Just that it’s connection with search engines and users will be different and in parts is broken.
The internet has changed since Method’s site went online. It is saddening to me to see that none of these changes were able to alter the current site. It’s just a failed rip off.
It reminds me strongly of the Dodge 600
I will miss Youtube. It’s as close I want to get to TV these days. BlogsNow is crawling back into existence. Slowly. It would only find two links worth mentioning right now. Bothsurrounding the Page meme. I wonder what the Republicans will come with. Maybee bomb North Korea?
Meandering through youTube’s suggestions I watched a bit of Daily Show (there is lots) and finally ended up with a video almost dedicated to Maf54.
