    Video Recordings work both ways. We recently had local police have to use lethal force on a guy who hit another officer with his car, and before the video came out there was outrage over the issue. Turns out that once the video became public, and people saw what actually happened, the public criticism stopped right away.

    Police Video Vindicates Use of Lethal Force

    It is scary how many people just don't want the truth to come out in any situation. We are taught from a young age about accountability, but there are too many stories like this that show that there our government and civil servants want to be above accountability for their actions.

    Under present laws, eg. Terrorism Act 2000, people can be held incognito for up to 30 days. In other words, you just disappear. People think you are dead. They would most likely call the police. This only happens to terrorists, of course. Right?

    Well, actually it happened to me. 36 hours inside. For two nights my girlfriend thought I was dead. She was indescribably upset about it. This is how it goes. What did I do? I took some photographs in the centre (yes, this is the correct way of spelling "center") of town with my mobile phone and some dork behind one of those ridiculous cameras thought I was taking a picture of a manhole cover which could be used for terrorist activities.

  15. RFID and Walmart and more by Lord+Satri · · Score: 4, Informative · on Wal-Mart Pushing Suppliers For RFID

    Maybe I'm missing something here, but this seems like the kind of application we should be supporting. I agree, without much analysis, to me it seems Walmart is pushing their partners in the right direction: enhanced efficiency for everyone.

    Let me act as a karma whore (not that I care about virtual karma). Last May Walmart was announcing their embrace of the RFID tech, underlining the "green" component of this tech. Then, /. discussed in October Walmart's faltering RFID initiative. (Flash map of Walmart stores) And today, great news, Walmart is deep into RFID. Technology itself is neutral, it is what we do with it that makes it good or bad.

    Other RFID stories that I find pertinent: a successful implementation of RFID tags at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Washington Navy Yard. Don't forget we discussed over /. the use by Microsoft of RFID for marketing in groceries. If Microsoft is using it, it must have great potential? ;-) I won't lie that I'm amazed at passive RFID chips being as small as 0.15mm x 0.15mm x 0.0075mm (Hitachi), enabling rather conspiracy-theory applications of the tech. India and China seems are seriously looking at RFID. Well, you get the idea, more stories about RFID here. We live in interesting times. Technology is evolving at an exponential rate... now I wonder if we, as a civilization, will successfully cope with the realities of our resources-limited planet...

  23. Re:Why limited to those devices? by RobinGood · · Score: 1 · on The Rise of the Internetwork

    You are asking a very appropriate question! If you listen and read carefully to what Jeremy Allaire wrote not more than three months ago, you will realize that what is called here Internetworks is nothing but what Jeremy calls IP-TV. For him IP-TV "...is generally funded and supported by large telecom providers who have undertaken the mission of creating a competitive replacement produuct for digital cable and satellite services. IP-TV operator or carrier-led and controlled platform. There is a physical carrier that has physical pipes and infrastructure that it operates and controls. The consumer interacts directly with that operator/carrier. As such this is an end-to-end system on semi-closed network (infrastructure is all within the carrier environment, and cannot be normally accessed to the Internet as a whole. Further to this, the deployment infrastructure and devices to access it are all managed and operated by the IP-TV carrier). IP-TV will offer essentially the same product and programming offered by digital cable and satellite providers. Similar on-demand and pay per view products probably with some extra integration with voice, and different pricing..." Excatly the opposite of where Jeremy's new baby, Brightcove.com is presently headed. The Internet of Television is the new vision for Brightcove and you can read its unique profile by Jeremy Allaire here.

  24. But how will the content producers get paid? by jessmeister · · Score: 2, Insightful · on Video Distribution Platform Aiming to Kill TV

    For any decent piece of content produced somebody is going to have to dedicate some time and resources to it. To do this in a steady stream it will require a near full time effort. Since the basis of P2P is going to be to distribute it free it will be very hard to get a DRM model to work. They could however come up with an ad supported system to make it equitable. I guess my only question is, would the community using this type of software be willing to accept that? Time will tell I guess. I do see this as a trend of companies like Brightcove, Prodigem and Akimbo emerging to fill this new demand. It will be interesting to see what business models play out.
