Archos to make personal video players

Archos to make personal video players
that can copy from DVDs 12/02/2003 01:23 AM
One of the biggest problems with personal video players is that there isn't a whole lot of legal content to watch on them. Because it's illegal to copy a DVD to a computer, and most people won't want one of these things just to watch home videos, the most likely source of content for these things right now is P2P file-sharing networks like Kazaa, where it's not too hard to find MPEGs of The Sopranos and The Simpsons. To get around all that, manufacturer Archos is going to start putting special chips from Texas Instruments into their personal video players that supposedly make it possible to copy movies from DVDs and watch them on the player.

We've talked about these videos a while ago. Microsoft has since added a few more videos, each of them offering a detailed look at not only the new technologies but the potential applications for them. All of the presentations look at Avalon, Indigo, and other technologies to be featured in Longhorn.

Telecoms Video : "In this demo, Carter depicts a Longhorn call center application that coordinates internal and external Web Services to assist a stranded motorist."

Government Video :"Describe[s] how Accela helps cities set the bar for next-generation Emergency Response Services. Government agencies, citizens, and businesses collaborate efficiently to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies by taking advantage of the advanced data, communications, and visualization capabilities in Windows. This video covers technology to be delivered in 2005, as well as demonstrating platform advances coming in Longhorn in 2006."

David Weller is the commentator on most of the videos, and has an interesting blog here.

RNC-NYC: more art-tech-protest videos 08/30/2004 12:03 PM
Xeni Jardin: BoingBoing reader Dave Pentecost says,

Two clips on my site related to the RNC protests. First, caricature as protest: the Billionaires for Bush. Among their rallying cries - Lower the Minimum Wage! No Justice, No Problem! In this clip they urge watching more Fox TV, chant "This is what plutocracy looks like!" and thank the other 99% for their tax dollars. The other clip is a protestor's eye view of the day. A short montage of protest signs, and a wide shot of the march on Seventh Avenue, full of peaceful folks as far as you can see.

One of the reasons why is that it’s a high profit product. I have a close friend who recently spent over $1,000 on tutorial DVDs to learn how to use a popular video compositing software product. Tutorial DVD and video sets can cost almost as much, if not more than the actual software product itself."

Quake speedrun videos

Quake speedrun videos 04/04/2005 02:24 AM
Cory Doctorow: In 2004, the 4th annual Nolan award selected a collection of videos of Quake speedruns -- levels played at maximum speed, by gamers who'd memorized the fastest and most expedient route through each maze -- and posted them in video form to the Internet Archive. I spent endless hours playing Quake I, sometimes in cheat modes that let me fly over the levels, passing through walls and so forth, just exploring the amazing spaces that the game's desingers had laid out.

Watching these videos made my pulse quicken and my body jerk from side to side as the players executed virtuoso rocket-jumps and precision target-shooting of monsters as they lurched around corners. Link (Thanks, Drew!)
