Torrent-distributed movie that vows never to be sold in stores denied listing at online retail giant's movie database. We've got a team working on the story overnight and will have complete details on tomorrow's Wicked Early News, we start now a half hour earlier than before normal people wake up.
Wikimedia gets its money from PBS/NPR-like "pledge drives" where they basically tell the public you're getting something valuable for free, please pay to keep it going.
IMDB gets its money from Amazon, who'd love to keep the pay-for-content model going, and that explains its bias.
I've thought of allowing linking of Twitter/AIM/Facebook/Myspace/MSN/Google accounts as a alternative to registering with me directly... but can't figure out which one to do first.
Yep. Even HBO stages small theater runs for their serious productions to qualify them for Oscar contention. Otherwise, all they could get would be Emmy awards.
FunnyOrDie shorts often appear in film festivals where they are shown in theaters to therefore qualify them as a theatrical short and therefore qualified for IMDB mention. Notice they only get about 100 entries despite the thousands on the site.
IMDB has a very clear rule requiring traditional distribution in order to make their site. Search for your favorite podcast there, even if it comes from CBS-owned CNET or Comcast's G4, and you get comical results of other uses of the words in the title with the exception of only those that had TV runs at some point in the past. TV shows are allowed on the site, but saddled with a "(TV)" mark every time the title is mentioned in the DB.
IMDB's purpose for living currently is a place for Amazon to collect data on video entertainment products that more likely than not will eventually show up as a product Amazon is going to carry. Even if you've got a huge budget, if you're going to go for non-studio Internet downloads, you're not going to end up in Amazon's catalog and offend the big media types that IMDB depends on.
Don't like it? Create your own directory of legal download video projects and lock big content out unless they embrace the download format. Better yet, help people download their picks onto whatever device they want. Oh, wait, that's MediaFly.
Browser makers design for tests, real world data shows exact opposite results to what you expect. We've got a crew working on the story overnight and will have a full update for you on the weekend edition of Wicked Early News, we start before normal people wake up.
The idea of a branch-menu based book may be old, but the idea of a branch-based movie theater experience is new. Sure, it's easy to join digital video files to run back to back, but to branch to a different film segment without there being a visible gap is quite the work of art. Notice the gaps between the previews/ads that are shown before you get to the ones that are already on the movie's film.
This is a lot more than a film strip you saw at school. This is 24 frames per second and you've got to get the right film for the "choice" up there in fractions of a second. This is a patent on IBM's way of making this work, you could easily come up with another way.
People who live near highways and main roads know how hard it is to get rid of traffic noise... if such a system catches 100% sound wave, that's a wave that dies at that point and is no longer heard. And, if that gets converted back to power, that's worth something in money.
Just remember Newton's Law of Energy Conservation... and remember that things powered by the car driving over a power capturing device is stealing gas from your tank indirectly.
The Walkman wasn't/isn't nearly as interactive as the iPod/iPhone. Much more random access storage and the ability to check e-mail and SMS and worse yet respond to such things is what trip people up.
Massively honoring a WWII veteran is supposed to be done on November 11. This is Labor Day weekend in the USA right now. Please, next time attribute your time off to do stupid things to the right source.
It was a beta test, and they couldn't find out a way to make it a viable service so they've open sourced the code and basically are saying "You want it? You host it. We'll sell you the server." This was also their solution to intranets that aren't open to letting GoogleBot tell the world about what it finds.
Back to the original story, this games company is installing hidden P2P servers instead of paying a CDN... basically passing a cost they should pay for onto the users, who would rather see it included in the price of the game than forced onto them because their computers don't make good servers.
Slashdot Mirror
The point is, they've got to draw the line somewhere, and this complaining production is on the "foul" side of the line.
What's Amazon's home country? They're a multinational.

All of which classes of products Amazon can sell.
I honestly would love for people to be able to use their Slashdot accounts on my site.

The Guild is available at Amazon as DVDs.
Mainly-online projects that have a small traditional distribution deal qualify for IMDB mention... those who don't do not.

Nope... the pilot episode aired on Sci-Fi in June of 2005, therefore qualifying it as a failed TV production.
Sorry, popular news is controlled by the same media interests that would rather Internet distribution that goes around them didn't exist.

That's a swing and a miss at a prior art claim... a DVD is digital video, and this concerns doing it with film.

People never understand when high score = bad score.
Translate that to the American "Points on your license" phrase. Doesn't sound so childish now.

Does he have a website we can show the Slashdot Effect to?
