Wikipedia To Add Video
viyh writes "Wikipedia will be adding a video option within two or three months, according to the MIT Technology Review. '... a person editing a Wikipedia article will find a new button labeled "Add Media." Clicking it will bring up an interface allowing her to search for video — initially from three repositories containing copyright-free material — and drag chosen portions into the article, without having to install any video-editing software or do any conversions herself. The results will appear as a clickable video clip embedded within the article.' They will be requiring all video to use open-source formats. This is in hopes of getting content providers to open up their material to gain wider exposure on the Wikipedia website. There is also an in-browser editor that removes a lot of the headache often associated with any kind of video editing. With the new Wikipedia system, 'people will be able to easily inject media into pages, in a way that wasn't possible before,' says Michael Dale, a software engineer from Kaltura, the company assisting with development of the tools."

Google doesn't give a shit. It's just a corporation like oracle or microsoft. They're all inherently evil, except that google is smart enough to know that a good image counts. They are many ways to improve their image but donating bandwidth will raise costs tremendously (this is not your average javascript library included directly from google code) and bring little benefit in return, not to mention they have their own competing product.
Using "her" or "she" in this way is common and adds balance when mixed with "his" and "he". I don't care if English teachers and opponents of "political correctness" say than "his", "he", "man", etc. correctly cover both genders, because the rule itself is sexist, coming from a past when the principal actors in society were assumed to all be male.
