Agreed.  Sorry Adam but that article was garbage.  No references and
pure fear mongering.  As i read Jay's first post I thought about how
we've moved away from uninformed fear mongering arguments about net
neutrality.  Does anyone remember the Rocketboom highway analogy
video? Anyone who's ever tried to do some work at 10 PM in a business
traveler's hotel understands how detrimental a lack of network
management can be.  While some guests are downloading films over bit
torrent, others are waiting 30 minutes just to check their email.

Network management isn't going to go away.  It's useful for multiple
reasons.  The primary reason being customer satisfaction.  However,
rules that discourage anti-competitiveness are necessary.  Obviously
ISP shouldn't be aloud to completely block content, only modify it's
priority. i.e. Prioritize VOIP packets while delaying bittorrent
packets.  The best solution I can imagine would be in the form of
network management transparency with the public or a government
agency.

 Britain would be a better test case. People are less gung ho about

 And even in Britain, when 3 mobile tried to do this with internet
 access on their 3G phones in England, it didn't work and they had to
 open it up so they could compete with Vodafone  O2. AOL died in the
 UK for much the same reason.

 Wherever it's tried where there's competition, it won't work. Where
 I am on Vancouver Island, Telus and Shaw compete pretty aggressively
 with both rival ADSL  Cable services available to most households.
 Whoever tries to introduce this kind of bullshit will lose most of
 their customers to a competitor who offers a better deal.

Re: [videoblogging] Today the tape died - Canon HF11 HG11

2008-07-23 Thread Brook Hinton
It's all going to depend on how the 24 mbps AVCHD stream LOOKS. Note
how much computational power is needed for good h.264 encoding when
the computer has the luxury of analyzing an existing set of data. Real
time capture with these temporal codecs is a minefield - even the best
HDV implementations still have trouble, and that's after years of it
being in the field.

But I'm hoping they've nailed it, and anxious to find out.

Not, however, looking forward to having acres of hard drives to shelve
for backup, or to having to transfer everything to two drives after
shooting to have a backup set of media for work in progress. I'm more
excited about the possiblity that this will be an improvement in image
quality over consumer HDV.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Things are changing for real.....(?)

2008-07-23 Thread Adam Quirk
It very well could be complete garbage.  And at the very least, the part
about them slipping it past Canadians with little fanfare is obviously never
going to happen.  But it makes sense financially.  And usually corporations
like to make money.

There's also this, if that first article wasn't mongering enough fear:
http://digg.com/tech_news/2012_The_Year_The_Internet_Ends

If and when the Time article comes out, we'll see if they really have
sources from those top Telco's.

As a poster on another list I'm on states:
did you believe it when you first heard att had special rooms to share all
packets with the feds? i had a tough time with that one, yet it was proven
to be true, for all the major us telcos except quest.

On a more positive note, I think that even if we are forced into a tiered
situation, it probably won't last very long.  People will be angry and
demand more bandwidth.  Other companies could rise to the challenge and lay
bigger pipes and tubes to meet demand.  We may see a temporary information
recession, but it's not the end of the world.

Rupurt,
Congrats! I say it's about time someone did this! It's
well-executed and simple enough that anyone I show this to will get
it.

I've been dreaming to try this myself too, since the days of reading
Fighting Fantasy books, and playing games like Myst / Journeyman

We've really come a long way from seeing video as a mere distribution
medium to a more hypertextual one. :)

 Amazing.
 I love the way that they understand the immediacy of it - getting it
 up there as it happens (19 minutes from shoot to post, in one case)
 And it's great that he wants to use this when he's president, to give
 access to otherwise closed meetings.

 jay, thanks for this snip. i too was at the presentation and the most
 important part of the presentation is stated in the first paragraph.
 (and also stated last night on CNN). if you want to dominate and be
 taken seriously, YOU must take this game seriously. if you look at the
 new media components from either side of the campaign, from the start
 Obama has used old school organizing with modern technology. from day
 one, Obama has had a smart and adaptable CTO who understands the power
 of concentric networks and has employed people with a diverse
 background. one part of the presentation that really stood out was the
 admission that the new media team comes from all walks of life.
 everyone was on board to do something unexpected, undocumented,
 unscripted and unproven. all in all, they came to explore their
 previous skills and pioneer the future.

 sage advice to all of us.

 Obama's biggest advantage, Chaudhary said, was that his
 organization took
 video seriously from the start. The campaign has 50 staffers
 shooting,
 editing and posting video, most of it for online. Where Clinton
 would have
 just one staffer videotaping an event in Iowa, Obama often had
 five to
 provide multiple camera angles. They posted new video constantly,
 and
 quickly -- 19 minutes from shoot to post, in one case. And they'd
 ping
 community voters via email to alert them to new video.

 Obama's YouTube and web site metrics show that his online viewers
 aren't
 pups. The average viewer is 45 to 55 years old, Chaudhary said, a
 fact he
 found shocking. And while Chaudhary made plenty of humorous
 clips, they
 weren't the most popular. Invariably the videos that got the most
 views
 were
 long clips of speeches, unscripted moments, or, say, an
 appearance on
 Ellen or Oprah. The viewing reflects a hunger not to be
 entertained,
 but
 to know something about the candidate.

 The technology was availble to do all of this, at this scale,
 four years
 ago. But it has taken this long for mainstream America to get
 comfortable
 with online video.
 Now that they are, Chaudhary says Obama speaks of continuing to
 use the
 medium if elected: He pictures online fireside chats, and posting
 video of
 internal debates on topics like healthcare.

Back in the 70s and 80s Radio Shack has inexplicably not-sucky
microphones for the money. Don't know if that still holds true. They
did all tend to be a bit low in the output though.

Never did do that crazy modification to turn my Radio Shack PZMs into
something closer to the Crowns, but people did it, it was cheap, and
got great results.
