Shelly Palmer
Looks to be an interesting read. Guess we will find out in the near future.
From the site:

The book also looks at the business rules and legal issues that are having a huge impact on the future. File sharing, copyright laws, geographical form factors, temporal windows and much more. During the next few years, everything we know about the business of television is going to change - Television Disrupted The Transition from Network to Networked Television will serve as a guidebook and roadmap for the foreseeable future.

The promise
Boing Boing: Promise TV -- PVR records a month's worth of shows from all channels
"What the Promise does is grab the entire broadcast TV multiplex -- all the channels being broadcast in the UK -- slices them up according to the free, over-the-air electronic programming guide, and stores an entire month's worth. Why program a TiVo to get certain shows for you when you can record every single show on the air, all at once, and then use recommendations, search, a grid, or any other means you care to name to figure out which of those thousands and thousands and thousands of hours of programming you want to watch."
Wow..
Here is the site: http://promise.tv/

Television goes Social (on the internet)

Shoot, Mix and Share Video
//// Welcome to eyespot ////
Just came upon this interesting new platform for online video editing. Flash based and targeted to non-video folk. I like the MMS submission process for mobile users and blog publishing though I wish it created a feed for use in things like FireANT. Guess that is a bit hard when everything is Flash video based.
From the site:
Shoot, Mix, and Share your Video.
Use the eyespot Mixer to combine your videos, photos and music. Share your video and mixes with the world for Free.

YouTube success brings lawyers
A Video Clip Goes Viral, and a TV Network Wants to Control It - New York Times
From the article:
When a video clip goes "viral," spreading across the Web at lightning speed, it can help rocket its creators to stardom. Alas, the clip can also generate work for corporate lawyers.

Video BOMB (down) or Rocket (up)
Video Bomb - Front Page
From the site:
Video Bomb is a community site where people filter up the best videos on the internet. It's creates a democratically chosen flow of internet TV.
Interesting but I still have to ask Why? The top material on the internet has no trouble being distributed. Perhaps there should be a threshold system where we only see the videos that haven't hit a certain level but are above some other level...

FlashMeeting
FlashMeeting - The One Click Videoconference
Despite my early resistance to all things Flash, this application is very nice. I had a chance to participate in a Flash Meeting today and actually enjoyed it. Definitely a far cry from the days of CuSeeMe ;-)
The one strange thing is the cue to talk. I would prefer that it was a bit more conversational and therefore I felt more natural in the chat room than talking into my mic.

Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace
WikiHome - codebook - JotSpot
I haven't read the book (yet) but this collaborative effort to keep it up to date is fantastic and looks to be very well organized.
From the site:
Lawrence Lessig first published Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace in 1999. After five years in print and five years of changes in law, technology, and the context in which they reside, Code needs an update. But rather than do this alone, Professor Lessig is using this wiki to open the editing process to all, to draw upon the creativity and knowledge of the community. This is an online, collaborative book update

A far cry from Big Brother scenarios, RFID technology has recently become a medium for artists like Meghan Trainor, whose work offers a glimpse of a future in which computers will be able to scan any item and know something about it. She sculpts objects out of plaster, rubber and other materials, and embeds them with RFID chips and tags.

Article from Wired about an anonymous OS (or two) that you can take with you:
Titled Anonym.OS, the system is a type of disc called a "live CD" -- meaning it's a complete solution for using a computer without touching the hard drive. Developers say Anonym.OS is likely the first live CD based on the security-heavy OpenBSD operating system.
