I don't see anything wrong with this. They are just trying something and seeing if it will work. They aren't saying hey "give us all your medical records". If you are concerned with your privacy or you have an STD that you are trying to hide...no one is pointing a gun at your head and saying give me all your medical records.
Maybe in the future hugely busy New York doctors could use it to keep track of their patients and become more paperless.
I could definitely see a nutritionist using this. I mean there is obvious benefits to this.
I myself being part owner of a Sports Nutrition Store already do web based nutrition planning for our customers. You sign into a web-based app and you can choose your meal plan for the day and pick from a list of foods.
Obviously if google could do something like this it would be quite successful. I already use google apps to host our corporate email (justsaymax.com).
NoScript is designed so the user can protect themselves. SSP is designed so that the website owner can protect users from other users, malicious widget developers, or perhaps unscrupulous CDNs.
SSP would be great considering the huge amount of attacks....from google, to microsoft, etc. Which have been successful.
The only problem with SSP is if microsoft doesn't implement it it will be shot down because IE has 60+% market share. Without IE it would be useless because you can't put the work to protect less than half of your users but the rest that use IE will need some other form of protection.
It could skew already complicated cross-browser development.
Let's just hope microsoft doesn't make their browser even less standards compliant...although I did hear that IE8 scored high on the acid2 test. Guess they are making some headway.
-no but u gotta find them and sometimes they just aren't around or they are badly seeded -um yah on bt if its badly seeded -...throttling -obviously streaming is easier. u open the page and watch as it gets downloaded...what more can i say?
and i was not saying that hulu is the end all solution. im saying it is a step in the right direction.
If you would have read the post and read the context of it you can see I am saying that the MPAA are retards compared to the TV industry which has been actually making some effort.
The entertainment ESPECIALLY the movie industry is out of touch with their base. While I think the TV and RIAA are idiot and are extremely out of touch with their base. At least the RIAA has come up with some half decent solutions (although stupid) like amazon mp3, rapshody/napster (unlimited), audible, etc. Although I think they are all stupid due to DRM and i dont use them anyways but at least are heading towards the digital age (not forcing people to use CDs).
At the same time I think the TV industry is making strides. NBC put full episodes on the net (althouth the player was shit) and now they partnered FOX to make hulu which isn't half bad. Heck for all the work it takes to download a movie off BT
-Find the torrent (its hard to find tvshows compared to movies) -Download the torrent (ahhhr may take a a few hours) -Get past ur shitty ISP (shitty ISPs: its comcastic!) -Than finally watch the video and than delete it
I'll gladly watch a sheer minute of ads in a site which has a better player than youtube. You can resize the player an it will start where you left off. Also there is no annoying parts and you can even preload your shows in advance.
All the industries are doing SOMETHING and even the tv industry is excepting people just aren't willing pay as much for content. Obviously they are making a lot less money money off hulu (1 minute of ads vs 9 minutes) but they figure that it's more money they'de be making than if people downloaded their shows. THEY ARE ADAPTING!!!
The movie industry wants it to the stay the same as when i was buying topgun in laserdisk.
They still consider it illegal (according to the DUMB F*** DMCA) just to put a movie on your IPOD or PC (and I'm talking a DVD that you own). There is no movies on itunes but their is a ton of ad free shows that you can do pretty much anything with (of course there is still DRM but its not as big of a deal for a show their is only so many places you use a video for:P).
DAMNIT MPAA learn something. What you guys should be doing if you weren't still living in the glorious 80s where your focus was guys on the side of the street. What you should do is negotiate with every ISP and have ISP hosted downloadable moviees for dirt cheap (like 2 or 3 bucks) that you can do whatever you want to. Or watch on your TV (um comcast/time warner/Adelphia/Advanced Cable)
DRM is stupid....people will just bypass your DRM and go straight to the net.
If you do ISP hosted downloads -it'll be super cheap because you're not using any physical bandwidth (probably like a cent or two a movie) -No shipping or any crap -Compares in convenience considering how hard it is to download movies. -Can offer Blue-ray quality videos for dirt cheap (considering that it costs a lot of money to burn blueray) and people could play bluerays on their PS3 (well Sony will be for anything to further their standard considering the PS3 was for the sole objective of pushing blueray).
And i don't want to get to the RIAA. Its almost 5 am and btw im finished itll be 12.
They are also living in the past because of how incredibly easy is to download thousands of songs in a couple hours.
An jeeze ADAPT!!!! Think of new solutions. Jesus if the most protective industry could get over their retardation anyone can.
I think what they need is a guy to tell them that they need this and execute it for them in a decent way (because they won't). Like NBC/FOX would never have made this on thier own it's a good thing these guys from outside the industry did it for them. Andthey only used like 10 million which isn't bad considering the scope of the project such as servers, software R&D (since the damn thing is better than youtube), converting the movies (they are pretty awesome quality and load really fast must be some sweet compression), and such./end rant
How is being illegally refused in 75% of requests considered "[not] too bad"? FIA is only government.....
im sure like a small buisness would be cool with it. I doubt a corp would. They need to discuss everything with their legal team and stuff and its a big hassle/mess
I really hate microsoft but not nearly as much as patent trolls and our messed up patent system where people can get such insanely broad patents.
these are abusing the original purpose of patents which was to foster innovation and not to just give people a blank check to sue anyone.
Most of these patents have no novelty and they are RIDICULOUS. They are sapping away money from american companies and cause companies to pay huge amounts of legal fees. The patent office gives out tech patents to any joe schmo and does no have the ability to check for novelty. They do not adequately validate the non-existence of prior art.
This is just wrong and it shows a weakness in the system of RND were companies invest a lot of money to create an invention and get rewarded for it not just to see some new technology in its infancy on the internet and to go ahead and legally patent a work created by a community of developers as a whole.
Once they have this patent they can even sue the original developers and make them pay for using there own invention. It simply doesn't makes sense to me and why hasn't the american government done anything to stop these money leeching abusers.
Slashdot Mirror
But the question is if Microsoft will adopt the standard or make their own.
:P
..."Ring any bells"
MSP [Microsoft Security Policy], OSS [Open Site Security] (OSS is totally on Microsoft's side), MSS [Microsoft Site Security]
all sound like completely reasonable candidates. Or even
SSP [SilverLight Security Policy] if they really want to make it their own
Than they can apply for ISO standardization and release half ass documentation.

This sure does open up a world of possibilities...for better or for worse.
You gotta hand it to google though they never stop trying!
I <3 Gmail and google email hosting for domains.
