Military Blogs

Do military blogs really convey the story of life under fire on the front lines in Iraq? Two brother from Texas have recently created their own blog about military happenings in Iraq. Upset about the way messages were being sent to the people of the US, these two brothers who serve in the armed forces in tank divisions formed their own blog at TankerBrothers.com describing first hand what life is like on the front lines in Iraq. They feel that this sort of a blog, called a milblog gives people back home a glimpse of life through the eyes of a serviceman. These two men talked about how letters from overseas are often celebrated and movies and books are written about them but this blog gives people a chance to see in real time what is going on...right now. One of things though that is causing problems with these milblogs is that information is being put on the internet that may be detrimental to the success of our armed forces. A team of ten people from the Virginia National Guard have been put in charge of monitering these milblogs and to scan them for potentially harmful or sensative information. There are currently around 1200 milblogs out on the internet right now but critics believe that will change. With military crackdowns on some bloggers, others are afraid they too will get in trouble and are shutting down their sites. Some believe though that this form of a blog is critical to the morale of the troops and its an easy way for them to communicate with family and friends. So as we continually asked ourselves in our studies on blogs, is this censorship or security?

Stop Bugging Me.

If you're like me, you have your regular email account, and then you have your junk email account. You know, the one that you have just to use for when you are required to register to download something or read a newspaper article? They send you a bunch of junk mail that isn't "spam" because you sign up for it, but in the end your email starts to get flooded.

Well, it is called "compulsory registration". It is when a site offers you something for free, except that in order to access the content you must first register. However, there are some options that will keep you free of spam save you some time.

BugMeNot.com is one of the best sites out there. It was created and is run anonymously as a way for people to bypass this process. It is a community of people (no registration required, of course) that post usernames and passwords to thousands of sites. This originally started when all the newspaper sites were free with registration. All you do is look up the site you wish to visit and a list of usernames and passwords pops up that other people have submitted.

Now, this doesn't always work. The site has been taken down a number of times. Some say it's pressure from big media sites, others say it is supposedly traffic. At any rate, the site is popular and is gaining steam. There are very specific terms of use; sites are not allowed if they are a paid service or if a user simply requests it. Generally, many sites also try to block the usernames found on bugmenot - leading to rankings on success rates. While it is hard to do, once the same person has logged in from thousands of different locations in a day - they get wise.

This, of course, means that new registrations have to be created. While some argue the ethics of a site like this, proponents argue that most people enter fake information anyway. But what is the use if you still have to have email? Enter dogeit and mailinator (along with a list of others) that have registration free email addresses. That's right, just send mail to them and the box is publicly available and you never have to mess with registration.

Then, of course, when you use an email service to register on another site, be sure to post it on bugmenot.

Homework Outsourcing

We have now reached a point where students are learning from teachers who are overseas. They use the Internet to communicate. Specifically, there is a company called Growing Stars in India that provides English speaking tutors to American students. Many more companies of the sort have been popping up in India and elsewhere. Career Launcher is a similar company that has expanded its student base to near 35,000 and caters to students in South Asia.

What is so interesting about these companies is that students outsource their homework and tutoring needs to individuals half way across the world. The main reason why students are willing to learn through a headset from someone in India is the cost difference. A typically tutor in America costs at least twice as much as one on one of these websites.

There is controversy about this because some of these tutors are recieving federal money because they fulfill the No Child Left Behind Act produced by Washington. The questions that remain are whether these tutors can tailor their programs around the specific needs of the students, especially regarding the details in their education due to the restrictions in their location. Will the lessons be specific to the district? Will students pay attention online? Are they teaching the correct things? Some of these problems are solved because students have to talk directly to the tutor on headphones. Also, since their creation these Internet tutors have become increasingly competitive. Therefore, they must please their customer in order to keep their customer.

I think this is a rather amazing development. The fact that students can find cheaper and adequate tutors from other countries really shows how globalized most sectors of the economy are becoming.

Scouting YouTube

Google’s recent acquisition of YouTube for $1.6 billion has created a lot of publicity, but many of the independent artists that display their creative work on the site have not made any money. This may soon change, however, with the United Talent Agency’s creation of an online unit, UTA Online, that will scout web-based media creators, sign the most promising ones, and then find work for them in internet-focused advertising and entertainment.

The United Talent Agency is a top five talent agency in Hollywood, and represents actors like Jack Black and Vince Vaughn and directors such as M. Night Shyamalan. With the new online unit, UTA is banking on the idea that “Web video is on a growth curve similar to that of cable television a generation ago” and will soon reach new heights. The firm believes that current internet artists may be content in staying in the internet realm instead of pursuing careers in more traditional media.

UTA Online will operate independently from the main agency and will aim to recruit the next generation of TV and movie writers and directors from internet video sites such as YouTube and Revver. It will also help large web-based marketing and advertising companies find the artistic talent they need, a task that “was becoming untenable for buyers…to find their own writers, performers, and directors” (“Talent agency gunning for Web video stars”).

Currently, UTA online is composed of a staff of three 26-year old agents. Contrary to traditional talent agents, these online agents will encourage artists to submit their work to the agency by way of the internet. The agency will then show selected works on the UTA website and sign clients to companies. UTA online has already made large deals with some major media companies, and has developed a small clientele “whose Web-based serials, recurring comedy features, and short digital films have drawn one-time downloads in the millions and regular watchers…in tens of thousands.”

There are a few competitors in this field now, including International Creative Management and Endeavor. The William Morris Agency is also helping clients find new work in the digital media division. Hollywood’s top talent agency, Creative Artists Agency, had a large internet division during the dot com boom, but has since shut it down.

Surveillance Technology

New technology now makes it easier for your boss to spy on you at work. As long as there is an internet connection at the office, the boss can see exactly what goes on more quickly than ever before.

Video surveillance is rapidly improving and getting more affordable for businesses, but it is being replaced by newer IP-based video surveillance systems that store video digitally on networked computers.

IP video surveillance provides digital files readily available to all authorized users, system accessibility from any networked computer via a Web browser, and the ability to digitally manipulate video feeds as needed. Also, now IP surveillance systems can work together with burglar alarms, manufacturing process monitors, and other types of support systems.

Four major competitors in the surveillance system market who are running with the technology include LenSec, Axis Communications, Cisco, and WebEyeAlert. These companies have developed the technology in different ways, including:

- digitizing analog video feeds using motion JPEG video streaming which eliminates the need for videotaping
- creating software that provides system configuration, recording, switching, and monitoring
- creating software that uses the existing IP network to move recorded video around, and allows users to configure individual cameras for settings such as the frames per second rate, recording mode, resolution, motion detection sensitivity, etc.
- allowing users to zero in on specific activities
- allowing video clips to be exported to removable USB drives, CD writers, printers, or to be automatically attached to email messages for distribution.

As a rule of thumb, system pricing starts at $3,000 per camera, which includes system design, installation, and ongoing maintenance and support.

Employers are free to monitor their employees as long as they are informed of it. Monitoring is only off-limits in private areas such as bathrooms and locker rooms. In some states, employers are not even required to inform employees about monitoring.

How much does File Sharing impact CD Sales? Here are a couple statistical analyses that answer the question.

MySpace and Social Responsibility

Myspace has recently launched new security measures to help protect its youngest members from sexual predators. Due to a Texas lawsuit filed against MySpace by a 14-year-old girl saying she was sexually assaulted by a 19-year-old man she met on MySpace, the site has put in place the following new securities:

-The option of only allowing friends within a private network to view detailed information on profiles

-Vow to make sure that advertising that reached minors was appropriate to that age group

-Security features that prevent a person 18 or older from contacting a member under 16 years old, unless s/he knows either the email or first and last name of the minor

-online safety tips for parents and MySpace members


This is a good start by MySpace to help protect its most vulnerable members, but it does not yet solve the possible problem of sexual predators lying about their age in order to gain access to minors' accounts.

For more information about these security measures please see the following articles from InternetWeek:

My Sharona

The Knack's are back, but not on stage. The Knack's front man Doug Fieger and lead guitarist Berton Averre are now testing the waters in the court system over their 1978 song "My Sharona." According to Averre and Fieger's 49 page complaint on behalf of The Knack, Run DMC's hit "It's Tricky" illegally copied parts from The Knack's 1978 song "My Sharona." Although the statute of limitations for copyright infringement is three years, Fieger and Averre contend that they had never heard of Run DMC's song -- until August of 2005.

So who all is on the chopping block for this copyright infringement? Maybe the better question is who is not. The parties of which Averre and Fieger are seeking $150,000 per infringement are: Napster, Yahoo, Amazon, Apple, RealNetworks, each member of the DMC band, the bands producers, and other music publishers and labels. A representative from the plaintiff's law firm argues that The Knacks have the right to sue online companies such as yahoo, Amazon, and Apple due to the fact that they have distributed DMC's song "It's Tricky" via their websites. Interestingly enough, offline distributors such as Wal-Mart were not included in the complaint.

'"This is a good example of how copyright law is outdated for the Internet,' said Jason Schultz, staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who said that offline retailers were probably not sued because they don't make copies of infringing work, whereas online distributors make a new copy every time a song or album is sold. '" So why were only online companies sued for an infraction that occurred nearly 20 years ago? It mainly comes down to the vagueness of copyright laws with respect to online companies. Schultz later went on to comment that, "The fact that there are more companies to sue now and that those companies operate in an area of copyright law not yet clearly defined, he said, could have been a factor in filing the lawsuit." Whatever the reason for the suit being filed now is not the question, but rather if The Knack has a case. If The Knack can convince a jury that DMC are guilty of copyright infringement, they, along with Yahoo, Amazon, and Apple could be paying some large fines for their actions.

Regulating Blogs: Principle Sues Students and Parents

Assistant pirnicpal Anna Draker is suing two of her students and their parents over slanderous information posted about her on the Internet. The students created a Myspace page in her name, posted explicit photos, and made false comments about her, also calling her a lesbian. There were other explicit comments made to her on the site by people she did not know. She was informed about this site after a co-worker brought her attention to it last April.

What makes this case different from most other libel suits is the fact that she is not only going after the students who created all this trouble, but their parents as well. She holds the parents responsible for not monitoring what their children are doing on the Internet.

This brings up many controversial issues. Who is responsible for content posted on the net? How can or should blogs be monitored and controlled? Should accessibility to blogging be monitored or limited?

Just as it is in any case, we should all be held responsible for our actions, and be willing to pay the consequence. The Internet reaches millions of people daily, and information posted today, may be seen by thousands tomorrow.

This case is among 50 other slander suits that revolve around the blogosphere, monitored by the Media Law Resource Center (MLRC).

ClickStar: DVD's Itunes?

It is a scenario that many movie-goers face: a brand new movie has just been released in theaters, and the movie-goer loves the movie so much that he or she wants to watch it over and over again. However, the DVD release of a Hollywood movie usually does not occur until months after its premier. The only way a person can view his or her “new” favorite movie is by going to the theater time after time. This is unreasonable, especially due to outrageous ticket prices. This problem may soon be solved, however. Intel and Revelations Entertainment, actor Morgan Freeman’s production company, have combined forces to create a new company, ClickStar, that will make some independent films available for download around the same time that the films debut in theaters.

It has been suggested that movie downloading is at the same stage as music downloading was right before the release of the Apple’s Itunes in 2003, and internet downloading of movies is expected to have over 9 million customers by 2010. According to ClickStar’s CEO Nizar Allibhoy, “Our view is that making content available on the internet is not an option—it is an imperative for the industry, given piracy and consumer demands for flexibility. Our motto is, ‘Anytime, anyplace, on any device’” (see the News.com article here). Internet technologies have made great improvements recently, and it is now “feasible to download or stream a near-DVD quality movie to the home.”

The launching of the ClickStar website will coincide with the release of Morgan Freeman’s next film, “10 Items or Less,” which makes its theater debut on December 1. This movie will be the first available movie for download on the site. The site will also feature free channels for visitors. ClickStar has not set prices for their movie downloads at this time.

While ClickStar is an innovative move in the home video industry, it is also an attempt by Intel to boost sales of its new Viiv PC. This device wirelessly streams internet videos and other content to a person’s TV.

There are many opponents to this new technology that will be offered by ClickStar. Many Hollywood executives and theater owners believe that this will hurt ticket sales. Box office revenues are already decreasing, however, and only the sale of DVDs is bolstering current releases. Jim Ward mentioned this issue when he spoke to our class, saying that movies are only profitable now if they have substantial DVD sales and other sales related to the movie. ClickStar’s management believes that their move will not have any more affect on the current state of box office revenues. Says executive James Ackerman, “I don’t think we are going to adversely impact theater attendance” (see “ClickStar venture set to rankle Hollywood”). One reason ClickStar does not believe they will hurt the box office is because they are only going to release lower budget, independent films on the internet. Most of these films are not widely released across the country; therefore, ClickStar will give a wider audience the chance to view movies that they otherwise would not have seen.

Only time will tell if ClickStar is the Itunes for movies.

ATM for God???

So its not really related to anything weve talked about in class but I found this incredibly interesting a little funny. A man named Marty Baker, a pastor and CEO of a company called Secure Give, has developed a new method of giving to the church. He developed a machine that looks strikingly similar to an ATM that people can use to give monetarily to their church. However, instead of the traditional way of giving, by dropping a few bucks in the collection plate or writing a check and putting it in the collection plate, worshipers can now swipe their ATM cards or credit cards through this new machine called a Giving Kiosk. Baker states his reason for creating this was that most people now a days dont carry around cash or a checkbook, they carry ATM and credit cards. He says this makes it easier for that majority of people to give. He also states that now, when people are visiting the church on say a Tuesday afternoon and their God prompts them to give, all they have to do is swipe their card and not have to worry about finding someone to give money to. Its out there I know....
Bakers company also invented an online giving service so those people who are not at church to swipe their cards can give to the church from the comfort of their own home.

Google for Educators

Lately Google seems to be in a competitive mode! On top of dishing out billions for one of the biggest video-sharing sites YouTube, Google has decided to launch Google for Educators. This site provides teachers (K-12) with a resource guide on how to use technology in the classroom. Google for Educators has links on 12 Google products, such as Blogger, Web Search,Google Earth,Google Book Search, etc. These links provide teachers with information about each product, demonstrates how educators use them, and gives them lesson ideas. Along with that, the site provides a subscription to the Google teacher's newsletter which gives teachers updates on the resource tools. According to the Google Site "We think of this site as a platform of teaching resources--for everything from blogging and collaborative writing to geographical search tools and 3D modeling software--and we want you to fill it in with your great ideas." Users can give Google feeback on how they feel about the products, as well as submit their own ideas.
With the use of the Internet growing so rapidly, this is not such a bad idea. Google for Educators is a gathering place for professional teachers to advance their skills in the classroom. Teachers can now team up and work together to better educate their students. This resource site will provide beginners with more knowledge on technology and how to apply it to their work both inside and outside the classroom.

Google... YouTube and Big Brother?

On the 9 of October Google purchased YouTube for a astonishing 1.65 Billion dollars. Sure is a lot of money for a infant stage website. Why would so many companies including Microsoft and Yahoo be willing to shell out over a billion dollars for a company?
It’s all about the advertising. Future ad sales that is, that are projected to bring in billions for Google. But still, today, online video advertising does not even account for the amount of money Google just spent to acquire YouTube. How does this make any sense?
For starters, Google plans on re-writing the way online advertising takes place and the science behind it. Google plans on customizing ads for individual’s preferences. How can they do this? This is where the Big Brother aspect of Google comes into play. Google plans on using past tendencies of consumers to show them where to start. Say you shop at Nike, Starbucks, BMW and the Gap.
Newly designed integrated advertising schemes will have these specific stores pop up. You may see a Nike shoe commercial with a man running in front of a BMW dealership with a Starbucks on the corner. These ads will be tailored to what an individual wants based on past purchases and tendencies.
The featured companies will help pay for advertising costs.
Think this is a little weird? You’re not alone.
Google is excited about there opportunity and yet weary at the same time. Limits and boundaries become very important. Knowing how far Google can use YouTube will be key. Not ruining a good thing by going too far will determine the overall success of this venture.

Curious about the Eldred Act?

If you want to know more about the Eldred Act please visit my homepage and then click on Web Writing Assignment #1! Thanks!

The French Have No Appetite for Apple

Frecnh lawmakers have approved an online copyright bill that could require Apple Computer to produce music on iTunes that is accessible to all types of players, not just the iPod. Currently, the technology on iTunes only allows its direct download to the iPod because of Digital Rights Managment Technology. Therefore, Apple has control over the market. To get around this, users can download the music, burn it to a cd, and import it to their player. They just have to take some side steps and they can have the music on any player. The law would require that Apple remove the DRM technology which would allow direct downloading into any player.

The French law would open up the market so that other suppliers of portable music players can tap into the iTunes Music Store. And now other downloading sites can use the iPod as part of their market. It creates a system of interoperability. The law still has to pass the Senate, but if it does there will be some definite changes.

Apple can either pull out of the market and lose a couple percentage points of revenue or stay in and face the new competition. Consumers will surely benefit from this because there are more options and more room for innovation. The law seems to be directly attacking Apple, but in the lawmakers defense they have added legislation to up the fines for those caught practicing piracy to $350,000.

To see many opinions about this very recent development in France check out this and other blogs.
