Disclosure: I write for (and used to edit) Gawker Media's Valleywag. This is my informed commentary.
These are just videos that one of our staffers uploaded. Gawker Media isn't going for that Mad YouTube Traffic; we just use YouTube as a repository for videos we embed on our sites. That's one of the intended uses of YouTube.
What some may question is whether Gawker Media's videos are fair use. The company and its staff argue that they are, as we are reporting on these clips as news, or making critical commentary. The preroll and postroll aren't ads; they're identifiers. Gawker Media isn't paying someone to add them.
Right on, man! But there's one more human specialty: abstract language. Even Koko the gorilla, even dolphins, do not show rigorously defensible evidence of abstract communication. The experimental evidence:
In one test, researchers sent Dolphin 1 through a maze. Dolphin 1 was then placed near Dolphin 2, able to see and communicate aurally with Dolphin 2 as it went through the maze. Forgive my sketchy memory at this point, but trust me that the researchers believed that Dolphin 1 had a motivation to help Dolphin 2 through the maze. These were scientists who'd studied dolphin behavior, and they knew they needed to make their test meaningful.
In every test with assorted Dolphin 1s and Dolphin 2s, where the dolphins could run the maze more quickly the second time around, Dolphin 2 never ran a faster first run than Dolphin 1. Dolphin 1, then, did not tell Dolphin 2 how to swim through, though such an opportunity was presented.
Either dolphins communicate on a level that the brightest human minds can't even detect outside evidence of, rendering all their obvious squeaking redundant, or dolphins have no ability to communicate the abstract ideas of "turn left" and "pull the lever."
And the closest we've come with primates is Koko, whose handlers make excuses when she doesn't choose the right button on her keypad.
In our Rochester branches, we get jazz and international music, mostly. Decent stuff, and I could imagine paying for it. Just not that much. But I'm not in their target market - too poor.
Screenplay software Sophocles produces stats on character dyads based on characters with subsequent lines. Sophocles has an impressive array of such statistical analysis. If only I had $120.
I need HTML to send links without printing long URLs. I link to news articles and blog posts often, and it's a pain for my recipients to copy and paste a URL. Even Outlook's auto-links on URLs looks ugly.
There is no "HTML" option under "Format." The "HTML" option on the toolbar does not let me code HTML; rather it lets me use Outlook's buttons to let Outlook make HTML. That's not helpful, since I'd rather use tags than click buttons and fill forms.
Yeah, XP isn't exactly the "next generation" version of Outlook. I use Outlook 2003, and while I wish the spam blocker and sexy interface had come in earlier versions, the fact is that Microsoft has finally made a strong version of Outlook, and this version (which has been available for several months) is the correct version to compare to other e-mail readers.
In any case, the test does give a fair shake to the older version.
My college runs a Windows Exchange mail server, so I'm limited when I look for e-mail clients. Does anyone know how I can shoehorn my account into a reader that will let me compose in HTML? I have to jump hoops to pull HTML into Outlook 2003.
Sorry, the idea is in his books.
Two sets of concentric circles, the sets intersecting. Picture two big round targets laid over one another like a Venn Diagram.
My apologies for leaving these explanations out of the first post.
You're not alone. Scott McCloud believes that childrens' tendencies to game the system are what inspire new technology and new uses for existing technology.
Example: When McCloud's kids use KidPix, they co-opt the dynamite-style erase tool to make intersecting concentric circles.
One could argue that gaming the system is the soul of creativity, since the world is just the ultimate system. Foucault would agree that we're all remixers.
I know I'm drifting off-topic, but my point's that it's human nature to do something creative with someone else's creation. If no one had hacked rocks, we wouldn't have the wheel.
I know, a whole two...You'd think Darl would try to top Hilary Rosen and go for 252 lawsuits, but I guess you can't just look for Linux users by browsing Kazaa.

So we need a more open version of iTunes' podcast library. One that reports usage stats back to publishers when it caches their podcasts.
Anti-bullying groups? Seriously? So we solved that world hunger thing?
my exclusive video of a night greenlighting the town.
were actually about his Santa-killing spiked chimney.
Okay, granted.
Soon I can shoot Carson Daley?
Blogebrity could run an unlinked z-list.
Honestly, though, this is one real reason for A-lists.

It amazes me how little the laws matter. Anyone can circumvent CD protection with a bit of research. It's illegal, sure, but it's easy.

What evidence? Drudge-level evidence is all I see, and that and a dollar will get you a cup of coffee.
Which is a naughty-sounding word anyway.

Wow. Heloise could totally own this thread.
A tool that can be translated or printed on a t-shirt.
I thought everything non-classified that the American gov't makes must go straight into the public domain.
