Musion - Another Ticket Sold by Andrew McCaskey The Musion system for holographic projection is all done with light and mirrors. And, it is all done on an industrial stage for major events. The system is explained in today s video - and is as close to the full sized illusion of the Start War s hologram Help me Obi-wan Kanobi as we have seen. But, with the YouTube details above, it will only be a few months before the latest edition of Make Magazine has the desktop version, and and acceptable version that is the size (and price) of one of those expensive Sub-Zero Refrigerator-Freezer units can t be far behind. What s going to be the effect of that technology on business interaction and travel ? We are at the inflection point where the expense of air travel or driving forces the close examination of tools beyond desktop sharing or simulated conferencing (such as Alice Street). It s about time. And I bet that Apple is there with the premium version. Click to view videos submitted or recommended by other SDR podcast listeners. . .

TerraByte - One Year Later by Andrew McCaskey Roughly one year ago, we began to see Terrabyte capacity drives appear on retail shelves - first at the $1000 price point, then dropping to $500 and I think now around $230. I m not in the market for that sort of storage right now. I was trying to describe to my wife what a terrabyte was, and I mentioned it to my middle daughter during a phone call. She said get over it Dad - we ll have it on a cell phone within a few years . Not exactly on time and in a different form factor - the new announcement from University of Arizona moves the date out to 2009, price unknown but eventually knowable. They set the new nanotech based storage into a USB stick form factor. Annette, it looks like you have your finger on the pulse . Now you may be able to tell your rapidly aging father what we might do with that 1TB of memory in a USB thumbdrive or cellphone.

After 17:00 and in the weekend the speed of our internet drops beneath 300 KB/s with our 24 Mbit/s connection. This only happens to certain protocols like news and bit-torrent. This means that Net-Neutrality is no longer respected by the Dutch ISP Chello also known as UPC. Na 17:00 en in het weekend zakt de snelheid van ons internet tot onder de 300 KB/s ment onze 24Mbit/s verbinding. Dit gebeurt alleen met bepaalde protocollen zoals nieuws en bit-torrent. Dit betekent dat Chello(UPC) geen respect meer heeft voor Net-Neutrality.

A bit more though out continuation of yesterdays rant on the overabundance of social network aggregators that add features. Also get into why I think it s hard to break out of the fish bowl. I think you have to bring people in not break out. And last I talk a bit about net neutrality in Canada.

Remember that web-based tool to test whether your ISP is blocking BitTorrent that we linked to a couple weeks back? Thousands of broadband users around the world have tried it in the last couple of weeks. Well the results are in, and guess what? Comcast isn t the only U.S. ISP with anti-P2P network management in place. Fellow cable provider Cox was also caught interrupting its subscribers BitTorrent uploads. The Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, out of Germany, found that Cox interfered with roughly 50 percent of all measured transmissions. It also confirmed that Comcast is still actively blocking BitTorrent, despite numerous assurances to favor a protocol-neutral approach to network management. In fact, Comcast seems to be even stricter than Cox, disrupting roughly two-thirds of all uploads. The Max Planck Institute is using a Java applet that simulates BitTorrent uploads to detect manipulations, such as the forged reset messages used by Comcast to end P2P transmissions. The applet doesn t test for throttling, meaning ISPs that simply slow down transfers and prioritize other types of traffic aren t detected, but the institute is working on proper ways to detect these types of interferences as well. The current tests also found cases of BitTorrent blocking at seven other U.S. cable ISPs, but Max Planck researcher Krishna Gummadi told the AP that those results weren t conclusive. His team didn t find any signs of interference from DSL providers. Regular NewTeevee readers shouldn t be too surprised by these findings. We reported back in February that virtually all major U.S. cable ISPs have provisions in their Terms of Service that allow them to use Comcast-style BitTorrent blocking. Cox, for example, tells its subscribers that it might engage in traffic prioritization and protocol filtering. The cable company s subscriber agreement also contains another red flag: You expressly accept that such action on the part of Cox may affect the performance of the Service. The new findings include another interesting tidbit that could give Network Neutrality advocates new ammunition. Comcast has in the past defended its measures stating that it would only interfere with BitTorrent to minimize network congestion. That s not true, according to the German researchers. They found instances of blocking around the clock and on every day of the week on the networks of both Comcast and Cox. Free Press Policy Director Ben Scott used these findings to once again call for Net Neutrality legislation. This research proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that consumers, Congress and the FCC must urgently pursue the complaints against network providers, said Scott. Consumers have no reason left to trust their cable company. Share This

Thumbnail Views: Via Thumblicio.us SEARCH ANY STORY YOU HEAR ON THE PODCAST Indistinguishable from Magic by Andrew McCaskey According to Wikipedia, Arthur C. Clarke formulated one of three laws of prediction including the observation that Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Two articles today - one in the regular podcast and one in the video (and associated story published in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer ) reflect that we ve seen a lot of that over the past few decades. The Apollo Landing computer was impressive for it s day It s cycle time was 1 Mhz, 11 instructions. It had 1K of 16 bit words of erasable (RAM) core memory and 12K of read-only memory (ROM). And the VieVu wearable camera that was one of our CES Product of the Day selections in January of 2008 (4 hour of video, on board MPEG4 compression, 4 hours of battery life and 4GB of Flash memory ) is no less impressive. As this gets filed into the Internet Archive, it s going to bring a chuckle to someone in the future - and it will be in a lot less time than the 48 years since the Apollo Guidance Computer was designed and built.

Thumbnail Views: Via Thumblicio.us SEARCH ANY STORY YOU HEAR ON THE PODCAST Exabytes and Politics by Andrew McCaskey The article from Ars Technica starts out with a reinforcement of all of the things that we have been hearing for the past ten years about the rise of net traffic - and with the advent of video upon us, it s easy to see how there is lots of room for the sort of sky is falling rhetoric that makes for good popular press, This article is a lot more interesting - in that the message is a bit more subtle - with the urgency provides the alarming cover for the real story. Years ago, when the fiber went into the mode, I know that much of the AT T single mode fiber that was pulled was actually 144 strands in an array. The first few years of service in the 1990 s there might be as many as two or four of those fibers in use- and the rest of it remained dark - unlit and unterminated. I ve not kept up with it the past few years, other than to note that around 2001 there were estimates that 95% of the fiber was still dark. And of course terminal equipment ( and the wavelength division multiplexing that revolutionized that market in the first bubble) has made that even more effective as far as capacity. So what s the fuss about ? That fiber is not in the last mile - and the investment that is going to be required - at least according to those doing the providing - is going to be so great that net neutrality is going to have to be put aside. I think I smell a rat - and just in time for a new congress to get an education from the lobbyists. Time to send another donation to EFF.

Thumbnail Views: Via Thumblicio.us SEARCH ANY STORY YOU HEAR ON THE PODCAST Electric Cars - A Mighty Big Bite The San Jose Mercury News highlights the story of the role that the tech industry could have in the refinement, manufacture and development of the next generation of electric automobiles. As the the theory goes, the California business model of technology, finance and innovation is just the sort of breakthrough thinking and expertise that can break the electric car bottleneck. The practice may turn out to be something different. For all of the faults of the auto business, it must be pointed out that the sheer size and scope of the operations of a GM or a Toyota producing tens of millions of vehicles per year is something that is pretty ambitious, even by Valley standards. One bit of rationality that has crept into the discussion is the realization that we probally need at least two sets of vehicles - small and economical city cars and bio-diesel / extended range vehicles for long haul or thinly populated areas. The only fly in the ointment ? Rationality does not rule. If it did, there would be an immediate mandate on any Federally funded project to require paved sidewalks on any new construction from here on out. Consider how many miles of sidewalk got paved in your neighborhood and just how much of your daily life is walkable. That s the challenge. And it is just as big as the challenges facing the electric car. Click to view videos submitted or recommended by other SDR podcast listeners. . .

Without the ability to control content by scarcity of transmission capacity (as enjoyed by broadcasters for almost ninety years), businesses are going to be looking for a way to constrict the channel in some way so as to erect a toll booth. Some have speculated that we will look back in twenty years at this period of time as the Golden Age of digital media, and podcasts (like this one) a luxury before it went all corporate. You only have to look at the changes in the podcasting world over the past two years to see the saturation of public awareness over the blog of a politician - or his paid writer. Observe the podcast of a news reader of the celebrity stripe produced with obvious flair, professionalism and resources of many talented people. The NNsquad will have their main value providing case studies and exhibits that the rest of us will have to bring to the attention of the political machinery in the US. That is where the battle for Net Neutrality is being fought, with some of the best financed lobbyists in history. Net Neutrality is going to be a team effort, and the NNSquad will be providing the ammunition. Click to view videos submitted or recommended by other SDR podcast listeners. . .

The 12 Angry Men blog has a wonderful description of the Gilbert Chemistry Set that was a dependable fixture of anyone interested in science or engineering in the 1950 s and 1960 s. The memories of sulfur, hydrogen flames, test tubes and chlorine - along with the somewhat affordable ignition cell dry cell batteries (still in use in rural areas in the 1950 s for local telephone loop and electric fence chargers). All gone - due to restrictions permits and general nanny state oversight. Not that you can still purchase diesel fuel and fertilizer on the open market. I can t say it much better than they do : What is at stake here is no less than the future of America’s competitiveness and the innovation the make the United States the magnet for international entrepreneurs and scientists. Without the chemistry set, will we have scientists and innovators, or just a country of rock stars, political commentators and movie idols.

The incident in California that pits the GPS record of a teenager s vehicle with the testimony of the radar gun operator will continue the cat and mouse game. Fun.

ENB #34 DOJ on Net Neutrality, The Surge Protector, YouTube vs. Gays, Economy Sucks, RIAA Losing transcript follows: HELLO I M RICHARD BLUESTEIN AND THIS IS THE ECLECTIC NEWS BRIEF FOR TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2007. THIS PODCAST IS SPONSORED BY PODSHOW AND GODADDY. CHOOSE GODADDY TO RELIABLY HOST ALL OF YOUR DOMAN NAMES. ENTER CODES INSANE1, INSANE2, OR INSANE 3 WHEN YOU CHECK OUT AT GODADDY.COM. PODSHOW.COM IS THE THE BEST WAY TO HOST YOUR AUDIO AND VIDEO PODCASTS. UNLIKE YOUTUBE, PODSHOW ALLOWS FOR LONG-FORM CONTENT AT VERY HIGH QUALITY. THIS PODCAST FOR EXAMPLE, IS OFFERED IN A 720P HD FORMAT IF YOU GO TO INSANEFILMS720.PODSHOW.COM. ### IN A REMARKABLE ACT OF CHUTZPAH, THE US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ARROGANTLY SHRUGGED OFF THE NEED FOR INTERNET NEUTRALITY LAWS. THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS CONCERNED THAT THESE MEGA-HUGE CORPORATIONS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO *GOUGE* HIGH ENOUGH PRICING LEVELS. THE DOJ SAID THAT NET NEUTRALITY COULD MAKE CARRIERS UNABLE TO AFFORD TO KEEP UP THEIR INFRASTRUCTURES. THIS ACCORDING TO A SEPTEMBER 7 EWEEK ARTICLE. THE DOJ SAID QUOTE ANY REGULATION THAT PROHIBITS THIS TYPE OF PRICING MAY LEAVE BROADBAND PROVIDERS UNABLE TO RAISE THE CAPITAL NECESSARY TO FUND THESE INVESTMENTS. UNQUOTE. RIGHT. POOR AT T DOUBLE DIP BY CHARGING BOTH CONTENT PROVIDERS AND CUSTOMERS FOR THE SAME DATA. HMMM. THAT S INTERESTING WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT THE CEO OF AT S CEO, ALMOST 14 MILLION A YEAR, SPRINT-NEXTEL S CEO 19.5 MILLION PER YEAR. HOW EVER WILL THESE POVERTY-STRICKEN CORPORATIONS BE ABLE TO PAY FOR THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE, PROBABLY BY INCREASING HEALTHCARE COSTS FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES AND DECREASING BENEFITS. OH, BY THE WAY, DID I MENTION THAT AT S CEO GET S AN *ANNUAL* PENSION OF ALMOST 5.5 MILLION DOLLARS? I TOOK A HUGE DUMP TODAY. ### DESPITE THE SUCESS CLAIMED BY THE SURGE PROTECTOR, GENERAL PETREUS, IRAQ S CITIZEN S SEE THINGS QUITE DIFFERENTLY. A COMPREHENSIVE POLL OF THE IRAQI PEOPLE WAS COMMISSIONED JOINTLY BY THE BBC, ABC, AND JAPAN S NHK. THE POLL STATES THAT ABOUT 70% OF IRAQIS BELIVE SECURITY HAS DETERIORATED IN THE AREA COVERED BY THE US MILITARY SO CALLED SURGE OF THE PAST SIX MONTHS. A POLL OF IRAQIS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY SUGGEST THAT NEARLY 60% SEE ATTACKS ON US FORCES AS *JUSTIFIED*. BREAKING THAT DOWN TO SUNNI S AND SHIA, 93% OF SUNNIS AND 50% OF SHIA FIND ANTI-AMERICAN VIOLENCE LEGITIMATE. THE POLL SHOWS THAT THE OVERALL MOOD IN IRAQ IS AT AN ALL TIME LOW SINCE THE US INVASION IN 2003. THE MARGIN OF ERROR FOR THE POLL IS PLUS OR MINUS 2.5 PERCENT. IN OTHER WORDS, THE SURGE HASN T JUST MAQDE THINGS WORSE IN IRAQ, IT HAS MADE THEM *MUCH* WORSE. BING LADIN COULDN T HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB OF MAKING NEARLY AS MANY PEOPLE LEARN HATE AMERICANS SO QUICKLY. ### THE GAY NEWS BLOG REPORTS THAT ZEITGEIST VIDEBLOGGING SERVICE FOR THE ORIGINALITY CHALLENGED, YOUTUBE, DISCRIMINATES AGAINST GAYS. YOUTUBE MANAGERS REMOVED A VIDEO OF TWO TEENAGERS KISSING FOR FIVE SECONDS. YOUTUBE HAS NOT CENSORED, HOWEVER, MULITUDES OF HATEFUL FUTURE REPUBLICANS CALLING GAY PEOPLE FAGGOT , COCKSUCKER AND OTHER HORRIBLE THINGS. I CAN ATTEST TO THIS PERSONALLY. MY OWN CLIP OF WANDA WISDOM PRETENDING TO USE A FURBY AS A VIBRATOR WHILE FULLY CLOTHED WAS REMOVED FROM YOUTUBE STRAIGHT AWAY. AT THE SAME TIME, VIEWERS NOTED THAT MUCH MORE EXPLICIT VIDEOS OF STRAIGH WOMEN USING *REAL* VIBRATORS WERE NOT BANNED. OH, DID I MENTION THAT THIS PODCAST IS SPONSORED IN PART BY PODSHOW.COM WHERE NOBODY CENSORS MY OFT-TIMES *UNSETTLING* CONTENT? ### ECONOMIC FORECASTERS SAY THAT ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE US IS AT IT S LOWEST IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS. THE ECONOMY IS EXPECTED TO BE SLUGGISH, AT BEST, NEXT YEAR AS WELL. THIS ACCORDING TO A FORCEAST RELEASED MONDAY BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR BUSIENSS ECONOMICS. THE NUMBER ONE RISK, ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, IS THAT THE CONOMY WILL LOSE ITS FOOTING ALTOGETHER AND FALL INTO A RECESSION. YOU MAY RECALL I REPORTED THAT ANOTHER ECONOMIC ORGANIZATION FORECASTED A RECESSION DUE TO THE SUB-PRIME MORTAGE CRISIS LAST MONTH. ### IT LOOKS LIKE SOON, WE MAY ALL BE ABLE TO START PAYING FOR OUR MUSIC AGAIN ! THE RIAA HAS BEEN FAILING TO WIN ITS LAWSUITS AGAINST GRANDMOTHERS AND CHILDREN FOR QUOTE STEALING MUSIC. TECHDIRT REPORTS QUOTE RECENTLY, WE VE SEEN THE COURTS GETTING LESS AND LESS WILLING TO ACCEPT THE RIAA S FLIMSY EVIDENCE AS BEING ENOUGH TO CONVICT SOMEONE OF BREAKING THE LAW WITH FILE SHARING APPLICATIONS. IN A RECENT CASE, THE RIAA SIMPLY PRESENTED A BOILERPLATE COMPLAINT AGAINST A PLAINTIF, NOT EVEN BOTHERING TO CUSTOMIZE THE ELEMENTS OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGMENT TO THE PARTICULAR CASE BEING ARGUED AT THE TIME. IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THE COURTS ARE FINALLY BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND THE INTERNETS. PERHAPS THIS MEANS THAT DISASTEROUS LEGISLATION SUCH AS THE 1990 S DCMAA WILL NOT GET THROUGH AS EASILY NEXT TIME.

There should be a law against this. Apple, Net neutrality, and fair use, all in the same day. As you can imagine, we had some things to say on the trifecta of rant-itude, to the tune of about 46 minutes. But hey, think of it this way: it'll get you through pretty much the entire weekend. Enjoy!

Local news is the heartbeat of democracy, so why is it disappearing from many communities around the nation? Media consolidation isn't widely covered by the mainstream press, but potential changes being considered to the rules governing the nation's big media companies could have far reaching effects on democracy. Bill Moyers Journal devotes an hour to this important issue with a report on the disappearance of local news and community radio and in-depth interviews with journalist Rick Karr, media activist Hannah Sassaman, and FCC Commissioner Michael Copps.
