There have never been more demonstrations against the establishment all over the world than in recent years.

So hopefully this policeman is a role model for the next (or better the current) police generation

Autotuned Decleration of Love

Filtertyp — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 23:35:44 +0000

And here a remix with some beatz:

Never enjoyed the overused autotune effect ( Antares Autotune is a pitch correction software that is widely used in Hiphop and other styles) and TV-Shows like this but…

lol

And: It’s actually quite expressive music (until the standard beatz start)

The Sun Chronicle – Paid Comments a Smart Marketing Move?

Filtertyp — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 02:47:33 +0000

There is a lot of talk going on at the moment – basically around the globe – about the newspaper The Sun Chronicle. It is a daily newspaper in Attleboro, Massachusetts, USA. It is a somewhat smallish newspaper with a circulation of 17,777 according to Wikipedia.

From today on, you have to pay to make comments on their website. 0.0 This is obviously an outrageous idea because online-magazines benefit from comments, as they provide additional content. I actually often skim articles and skip forward to the comments, to see what people say (although it sometimes melts the brain). The downside of comments is of course spam, even our tiny blog attracts spam-bots, but it is controllable with modern software.

Some claim, that making readers having to pay in order to make comments, may increase the quality of user generated content. This is most likely true but it makes the idea of paid comments even more an impudence. You can see it this way: Making users generate better comments and making the contributors pay for it, is basically a piss-take. Especially since newspaper-sided heavy comment-moderation could solve the problem of questionable comments as well. Also, reading comments is optional.

Another reason why this is an outrageous idea is, because you can only pay via credit-card. This means, you can not comment anonymously anymore. What comes into my mind are the new plans of the Chinese government, to prevent Chinese people to surf the Internet anonymously in the future. Whatever they will do, they will have to show their real names. Although this might have positive side effects such as lowering denunciation, the reality is, that freedom of speech is much more in danger. Freedom of speech to pillory politics and greedy elites, not just of China or Northern Korea, but also Corporate America, Russia, even the oh-so-nice Tibet and many more states. Once that is not needed anymore, we can talk about real names.

So why may this action by The Sun Chronicle be a smart marketing move? Well, because now, this rather unimportant newspaper, is mentioned in many newspapers all over the world. While this may not be monetizable, there is another benefit: It raises attention to the problem of old-school newspapers and publishing houses, making money in the Web 2.0 times.*

Thanks for reading

*(not that I care tho, because 95% of newspapers are either turbo-capitalistic propaganda for the elites ( for example Rupert Murdoch’s newspaper kingdom) or elites-kiss-ass-papers written by naive, well functioning idiots).

Steven Spielberg’s The Duel – An Alternate Ending

Filtertyp — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 00:24:00 +0000

You probably know the first feature film by Steven Spielberg called The Duel. I saw this movie as kid and was deeply impressed. Dunno how I would perceive it today, I would probably criticize the logic of the movie. Anyways, a businessman, quite a softy, gets chased by an old truck (which looks raw and dangerous and really cool imo) over miles and miles on a highway. You can never really see the driver of the truck. To get the idea, you can check out the first clip. Note: At that time, the businessman has already been chased for quite a while. The truck sometimes falls behind and then catches up again.

Now check out the alternate ending of the movie. Softy transforms into …

Two Hot Tips For Hardcore Twitterers And Youtubers

Filtertyp — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 17:01:26 +0000

As noted in this article, web 2.0 sites are also used by hardcore gees and gang members, who like to brag about how bad-ass they are, or to communicate their plans with each other. Some of them have been caught because the police received their IP numbers from the various net-corporations and companies.

For those gangsters who do not know about IP numbers and how to hide them, I found this technique to hide in the city from the police:

For those gangsters and hardcore guys out there, who know about all this, I suggest to post, tube, twitter with style and use this bad-ass pipe while doing so:

There Is Nothing More Badass Than Tweeting It Up On Twitter

Listen gang members, your mom’s computer has something called an “I.P. Address” that can be tracked by the police[...]”

An additonal note:

There are also gangs on Youtube. And some have been caught because of that. There is a gang – mind you, not some stupid street kids – that made a lot of money with real estate and ripped people off. They showed their wealth on Youtube. Those videos are now secured by the prosecution and one important element to get them behind the bars. lol.

p.s.

there are things like proxy servers and i.p. hiding etc. …. shhhh , hehe.

Well, it would be an original gangster eating someone, who overuses terms such as lol or rofl, and generally acts like if he was new to things, for barbecue.

If you ever wonder what certain terms mean, that normal dictionaries do not talk about, then go here: Urban Dictionary. Worth to bookmark if you often take part in online discussions or read them.

Violent In-game Ads more memorable?

Filtertyp — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 15:21:16 +0000

A team of European and U.S. researchers found ads displayed along with violent scenes to be more memorable to players than those shown with nonviolent content, even though players spent less time looking at them. The results are contrary to expectations stemming from research on television, where violence has been shown to decrease attention to advertisements. Developing a better understanding of the way advertising works in games could help game companies enhance their advertising strategies. Source

Imo ingame advertisment is game content that is profit (money,money) orientated and not matter (great immersive game) orientated . Hence they suck no matter if they are violent or not.

Amazing Photos: Space Shuttle and ISS In Front of the Sun

Filtertyp — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:30:49 +0000

I found some amazing photos from french engineer Thierry Legault. They show the Space Shuttle and the space station ISS floating in front of the sun. You can see the silhouettes of them. The sun is about 150 million km behind the space vehicles.

Interesting to note: The background texture in the images is not noise, it’s solar granulation. Each grain is a bubbling cell of solar gas that is approximately the size of Texas. [ Source ]

Check out more amazing photos of Thierry Legault on his homepage which you can find here.
