I wonder what kind of impact this transformation of the set will this have on the action scenes which were made possible and reasonable because of the virtual oportunities. In "the real world" we aint dodging bullets, though the movie may inspire some to try:)
A very very interesting subject. Jon Katz have tried to bring it up earlier.
Personally I have researched how to benefit real geographical communities with an online companion for almost 10 years now.
I started with the bbs's, but was limited by availability of technology and lack of technological experience by the commoners at that time. Then with the web I started discovering the oportunities in 93.
My conclusion so far is that it is possible and the local web communities, as a tool for each individual, may very well become important parts of our infrastructure in this modern world of information technology.
My discoveries were that it would require enormous resources to move from thought to action. Since 93 till now, I have produced several larger papers on subject and have notes and drawings taking up a significant amount of space.
In order to turn my vision into something tangible I started a company in 96 to further my research and develop the necessary tools. Tools are required, tools for the people to produce activity, tools are the most important asset. With no tools, there will be no activity, and the level of activity is the primary indicator of success or failure.
Concider this my own little/. note on subject as after years of research, development and waiting for market readiness; this year, something will happen for real and next year it is common.
http://egnsnet.dk will contain something sooner or later. now nothing. pardon me for not disclosing any detailed information. agreements with investors prohibits me from doing so at this time.
Microsoft has also successfully convinced DBU, the largest Danish Ballgames Association to enroll with passport.
My worst/best guess is that since DBU will place info-kiosks around the country's clubs, they hope to get people to sign up in order to get better services from their clubs.
The DBU CIO's comment when questioned was "We feel very confident in leaning towards Microsoft as the biggest and most trustworthy corporation who surely have the skills to provide us with the best solution available" - my personal thoughts when I couldn't access their website build on.NET was beyond words, as it didn't work...

DiVX;-) flourished in underground movie distribution. If the new DiVX will be troublesome for the underground movie scene, DiVX may very well find itself to be replaced.
And then again who knows, the new replacing format may gain momentum, and go for the big bucks. ..and a new format may be introduced. When we are talking formats and components we all rely and depend on for interopability, open source is the only way to go. And no BSD as it will not be protective enough (though my favourite license is BSD in most cases though I support back on free will (I'm corporate myself)). A GPL type of license which allows integrating with proprietary is the only way to go to protect the standard.
Keep it open I say. As for DiVX, the author sure pulled a major stunt here. In Denmark we could call it "en narrefisse" which means a lady that on purpose turn you on pretending they are up for something, only to walk away. Yeah thats a bitch:) have fun. go ogg.
I would settle for a Microsoft that would stop embrace and extend everywhere they go.
If they do something about their document formats and make them fully compatible with open standards that would satisfy me. Then they do away with all the marketing strategies they want for all I care. As long as they don't seperate me from me friends in the windows environment that mess up our communication.
Then each of us can choose the tools we like.
A way to solve this chaos is to establish a general standards body organisation such as W3C or similar, just in order to establish a protocol for document formats and interoperability. I know XML is moving up fast, but I hear no guarantees about document support from MS.
Also it would be nice if MS would stop abusing their monopoly for excluding java from that MS OS that would do me fine.
If they are in position of a monopoly they must provide equal oportunity for all and not abuse it for personal gain and exclude competition.

The advantages of a CMS, are that deploying a full featured website is incredible fast assuming the right tool is available. If this is so, you can concider it as a toolbox. You may have plenty of ideas of what your website should do for you, but developing everything from bottom-up can be an expensive task, with a CMS with selectable components, you design as you please and can implement components as required, and it is up running in a heart beat. Furthermore you have a CMS development crew as your backing to ensure that the components are matching the needs of tomorrows tasks. To finish it off a thorough CMS also provides you with the tool to maintain and develop your deployed site even further, with ease, with proper access management to distribute specific tasks.
A sample is BLUNT a website for a new rockband featured on Danish TV3 through 10 shows generating lots of interest. Universal, their record company, had sponsored a small amount to support the band and their online promotion (We are currently preparing negotions with Universal to allow mp3 sales). The general photoshop/gimp+html design was provided by the design crew(among it were one of the band members)Monday, March 25th at around 13pm and was up and running less than 6 hours thereafter, supporting both IE and Mozilla/Netscape, Opera, etc..

A CMS is a broad topic I give you all that. What matters is that it is about managing content, whether it be an intranet(office documents and tools for the daily business..e-business..), an extranet (marketing, product, pricing material, etc..), or a website with promotion, store, discussion forums, information spreader, its all about content, and thats what a CMS can cover as a tool.
Basically its reusing code and sharing the development code of an tailored administration system, where a professional CMS consist of a lot of different components from which the integrators can implement and configure according to their needs and be up running in less time and with less waste of money. One of the benefits for non-techies is that the editing tool works just as a word processor and it can be delivered to support just about all platforms thanks to use of java or activex, depending of what is best for the users.

Appearently they would love to sell us game services online as they have been providing arcade and slot machines in the offline world.
People are used to all sorts of free online games, and thats hard to compete with.
To compete with free you need to have a killer product, remove the free game services, orprovide a near to free game service.
If it is the ladder we need a way of paying for these game services. credit card payments are simply too expensive if the product you are paying for costs less than a dollar.
Managed micropayment therefore seems obvious. To play the game services and use other services, you have an online banking account which is free to use for buyers and cheaper to use for merchants than paypal.
Another problem is the price of the games. Personally I would be compelled to purchase for online gaming services but there will be various game services. Some I only find worth a nickel, other a quarter, others even a dollar a game. The price will depend on the service I am getting.
And this is the problem with the net. Due to the cost of distributing such services over the net it may sometimes not even be sustainable business to offer the current games, large or small, because server equipment and bandwidth simply cost too much to keep alive in order to be able to offer these game services at a reasonable price. And the outcome of this, if sustainability can not be reached = chapter 11. game.DOT.NET|COM flushes down the toilet pipes..
Imagine AOL doing as pictured, implementing a proprietary mozilla version and a specific DRM kernel module, then some people will be pissed, som more than others, and these others would write some code.
Whats all this code about? Well this code is a virus called freelinuxfromaol which revokes the aol kernel module from being enabled and modifies the proprietary mozilla version in becoming compliant with the open standard version.
Don't underestimate the powers that B and those that are feeling suppressed.
