Chris Cantell annouces New advertizing models for online videos

Obviously there is a trend that people like to watch their favorite TV shows not on TV but online. "Advertisers want to reach both audiences," said Jeff Ratner, managing partner and digital director at Mind Share Interaction. There will be a wind of change in the new online video experience. The wind is called impressions-based pricing model. It is supposed to come with time-based model. And what it is about? You know, when you are watching you videos online and you have to wait (or if you are lucky you get an option to skip) until the commercial is over then get to your video? And of course it happens with every video you click on over an over again. Well the time should be more user-friendly and actually save your time. With this kind of model the viewer will be exposed to commercial not before every video, but just once in specific period of time. This way everybody, meaning viewers and advertisers should by satisfied. "It's a better user experience because they now have a lot more flexibility to jump around and see different content and consider consuming more before being served more pre-roll," said Max Marvel, video sales director for msnbc.com. So who is using this model? It's the abcnews.com, Heavy.com, Video Egg and msnbc.com will be joining them next month. "A lot of it is being driven by the networks coming into the space. I think you are going to have pay-for-performance model as well. Right now it's essentially based on viewership," said Jeff Ratner.

Chris Cantell annouces Facebook, it"s features and it"s problems

Raise your hand everybody who doesn't know Facebook! Not many hands, I see, but anyhow. Facebook is one of the many social networking websites for example like myspace or friendster. It is here to allow you to interact with other users, online friends, real life friends that you do not meet on daily basis. All you have to do is sign up and after registration you can start your social life on line. Especially Facebook, which was founded by Mark Zuckerberg in Cambridge Massachusetts, was meant for the students, after some time it got so popular that now, anybody can join. And anybody is joining, Facebook has now days about 54 million active users and it is expected to grow to 60 million by the end of the year. What is so great about the Facebook? Apart from staying in touch with people and uploading photographs it the site's features. You can write your facebook friend a message on the "Wall", so the others would see it too or buy someone a "gift". By gift we mean a small icon that will appear on recipients's profile, unless you want the gift to be private. Very popular is the feature called "Poke" that allows you to poke others or even start a poke war. But Facebook has its problems too. Lately there is an issue about tracking and privacy. Facebook had from the beginning high privacy policy, but users are afraid it got lower. For instance with "News feeds" feature which let you now if your friend changed something on his profile. This feature was followed by huge users protests, so now it's optional and you cat turn it off. Another feature that users are complaining about is "Beacon". Thanks to this if Facebook users buys anything, his friends could see. The company statement to this issue is: "Beacon gives users an easy way to share relevant information from other sites with their friends on Facebook. Information is shared with a small selection of a user's trusted network of friends, not publicly on the Web or with all Facebook users. Users also are given multiple ways to choose not to share information from a participating site, both on that site and on Facebook."

Chris Cantell annouces We must do something mates!

In last two centuries our parents and grand-parents wanted to make their life easier. They built a manufactures where coal made a steam for moving all machines and railway and trains to move faster and more comfortable and improved boats with big coals machines. And many many other improvements were bringing more and more carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide. Sulfur dioxide with water makes acid rain. So the industrial revolution mainly started damaging our planet. But our grand parents and parents didn't care about it because they pass over this problems. In 20th century our parents notice that something is going on with weather. But they still want their life without problems so they continued with passing over all this climate problems. But mates do we want bring our children to this world? Do we want let them breath poisoned air from their first breathe in? To be honest with you I don't want. I do want stop ruining this planet, stop hiding real problems because we have only one life and only one planet. Start doing new better decisions which helped not us but people after us....our children. One of right thing is renewable energy project. Britain woke up and start building the biggest biomass plant in the world. The 350-megawatt wood chip-fuelled electricity generating plant will be in the industrial town of Port Talbot. The plant is expected to contribute about 70 percent of the Welsh Assembly's 2010 renewable energy target. Lifetime this plant is 25 years and it will create 150 new jobs. I don't want to say to you that you must build biomass plant but just maybe properly separate rubbish, safe energy, walk to work, don't waste a water and other simple things which can makes our planet nice and clean for our children in the future.

Chris Cantell annouces Safer and faster airport security scanners

After September 11th all countries wants safe traveling for their citizens. But traveling with spending many hours in airports checking all passengers is boring. But maybe next year 2008 can be everything changed. Why?....Because hardworking South Korea's Samsung developed a new digital X-ray system. Spokesman Henry Kim told that this is the first flat panel X-ray detector using thin-film transistor technology. The flat panel detector for radiology machines provides ultra-high definition images. And I'm sure its true, because Samsung Electronics is the world's largest flat panel screen maker. And as well the South Korea's government proudly predicted that the device would help the X-ray detector market become completely digitized within a few years. Brain new digital X-ray detector using thin-film transistor technology and this technology is the first of its kind in the world. X- ray detector converts invisible X-ray images into digital signals, which are transformed into pictures. The new detector will transfigure the global market and out come in the first quarter of 2008. But on the other side Henry Kim said that plastic-based analog film for X-ray photography applications isn't done jet. Professionals still working on it hardly, but it can take long time. Everyone of us are hoping that South Korea's hardworking professionals will completely finished new X-ray detector as soon as possible. So if you are waiting in queue on airport reading this enjoy it, because maybe next year this time will be long queue just sweet remember on boring time spent there.

Chris Cantell annouces David And Goliath 3:2

Do you hear bible story about David and Goliath? Can you remember the end of this old story? If you can't, let me tell you the point. This story was about huge and powerful Goliath who was one day proudly fighting with small and skinny David. And guess who won?....I will give you a clue....not Goliath. All I wanted to say is, that sometimes it's surprising when we hear about little and not expected team to win like on Wednesday Croatia hits the England Goliath. And smacks him out from the EURO 2008. It will be the first time since 1984 that England miss out on the European Championship finals and the first time since the 1994 Word Cup that they have failed to qualify for a major tournament. All big preparing process for England team was for nothing. And last night was better little David. Croatia coach Slaven Bilic said that his team was simply a much better team last night. In the fact it was big surprise when fans on tribunes saw 2:2 and after a second-half substitute England captain Beckham said:"This is a big setback, not just for the players but the nation.....We have to show the English way which is to fight back." But they didn't win the match and Big Goliath fall down in front of the little David. Wednesday 21st November brought sadness to England Goliath but happiness to David Croatia.

A delicious truffle

Earth wonders never seize to amaze and it only proves that there are still things that can make us gaps in surprise. Furthermore, we don't know still the potential that the nature has and instead of taking advantage, we mistreat it. Looking all the way to Italy, the latest discovery gives us the chills; a 1.5-kg white truffle was found in the Italian countryside. Christiano Savini is a truffle hunter and every year he goes hunting together with his father in an area of Tuscany. His dog, Rocco, sniffed out the truffle by an oak tree near Pisa last weekend. At the beginning it wasn't a surprise due to the fact that ten years ago they found there another white truffle of a half-kilo. It was buried 2.5 feet underground and they had to dig wider and wider, like in a reverse cone, rather than digging down and narrowing towards the spot where the truffle was, according to Savini's statement. The dog was all agitated and he continued to jump from one side to the other as if to indicate they had to enlarge the hole. After displaying the enormous truffle at a five-star hotel in Rome on Tuesday, Savini sent it to Macau, a Chinese enclave, for a charity auction that will be held on Saturday and it is expected to get as much as 150,000 euros (108,000 pounds) because a truffle of the same size found last year in Italy's truffle town of Alba, was bought for 125,000 euros by a Hong Kong bidder. Although it is not the biggest white truffle ever (in 1954 was found a 2,5 kg truffle that was presented to former U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower) Savini consider it to be a gift for him and his family. The truffle hunter deserves our applause not only for his achievement but also for the fact that he looked beyond money and all other financial retribution. Good for him and bon appetite to the one buying it (if he/she eats it). Enjoy!

Adoption: Tell or not to Tell

The adoption in its pure meaning is a gesture of hope and new life for children that had not the chance to be born in the whole family, who were neglected, fighting their little wars on streets or eating from trash cans until the social workers find them and accommodated them. For some of those it was even worse, coming to a place, where dozens of the same stories found their way. The only thing left had been the hope- the hope for luck to be adopted. For these kids, the old dilemma of tell-or-not-tell about the adoption is resolved. Let`s think about those, who were adopted as infants, small babies in diapers, not able to remember a thing, a single memory of who their real parents were, where they were born and how they found their happiness in another family. Those can be endangered by the reality. Their lives can suddenly change from a heaven to hell. This is the reason why the majority of parents that once adopted are so concerned about the decision- Tell or not to tell? People always worried, that when their adoptive child find out about hers/his real origin, he/she will immediately pack one suitcase and left the home to find the HOME. That`s why there where so many children that had no clue about the fact that they had been adopted, in the past. New research challenges the common perception that adoption negatively impacts a child's self-esteem. A study by a Dutch researcher shows that adopted children tend to overcome developmental and emotional problems, and achieve a normal level of self-esteem. Don't worry, your child can be disoriented or confused, but at the end of the day, he/she will know who the mama really is.

Lost in Germany

You know the Lost in Space? Or the Lost in Translation? Sure you do, but you don't know the new one. I's called Lost in Germany. Maybe Germany is not as big as the space, but indeed, it is big enough to get lost. Actually Germany means 357,021 square kilometers of ground you can get lost in. Well, it never happened to me, but then again I've never been to Germany. However one Lithuanian farmer been there and done that. He got lost in Germany. Just so you know Lithuania is in northern Europe in between Latvia, Belarus, Poland and the Russian exclave of the Kaliningrad Oblast and it's not a big country. And think, with its 65,200 square kilometers, we can even call it small country. That might be the reason why Saulius Marcinkevicius, 41 and some of his friends and fellow farmers decided to go on the road trip. The first one abroad for the Marcinkevicius (and now he claims that also his last one). The group of adventurous farmers stopped at the servis station near Leipzig. It was November 13. After the break they went on, but no one noticed that somebody is missing. That somebody was Marcinkevicius. Alone, in foreign country, not able to speak any foreign language, with just 100 Euros and his passport (thank god he had it in his pocket) farmer decided to hike. So, he walked around 200 kilometers, not speaking to anybody, eating apples he had found and drinking water from rain puddles. Finally after 9 days of walk and loss of 5 kilos he got home safe and sound and is now happy. In his words:"I got lost, and went through some extreme experiences, the kind that other people sometimes pay big money for."

Piercophrenic?

Piercophrenic? It is becoming a custom that famous Hollywood stars are not being charged for legal offence. After Lindsey Lohan who was accused of causing a car accident and Paris Hilton driving under the influence of alcohol it is now the former James Bond who was set free after a scuffle. Actor Pierce Brosnan was lately accused of hitting a photographer outside a Mexican restaurant in Malibu. The incident happened when the photographer tried to compliment Brosnan's movies but instead of an appropriate answer to his question ended up with a couple of bruises. According to the Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney James Garrison the actor will not face any charges over accusation as "there is insufficient evidence to prove this case to a jury". Brosnan has not broken the law before which may lead to speculations he had confused himself with a fictive character of a well-known spy James Bond. So Pierce, never ever attack innocent people with guns and bombs and remember that harming the others is not right. And please, do not introduce yourself as "My name is Bond, James Bond." Your real name is Pierce Brosnan.

Valuable corals in west Atlantics" coast

Another environmentalists' action in Ireland. Again. Squirrel is not the only one that needs help and protection. On the west coast of Atlantic Ocean are some really valuable and unusual cold & water corals that need help of government. Because of fishing near this coast are these corals in danger. There are two species in the Atlantic Ocean that need our protection & Lophelia pertusa and Madrepora oculata that create forest under the water of the Atlantic Ocean. They are comparable to tropical corals, but live in cold water what is really curious and bizarre for plants of such as specie. This is the main reason why we should protect them against pollution and spoil. I thing government should do something to help activists. I know there are some bigger problems, but this conservation and safeguarding of these two peculiar species is good reason to do something for them. These species could be 500 or 600 years old and have colorful past. Old people we usually adore, so we could say these cold-water corals are something very similar to them. Ireland should be proud to have this natural treasure and it is not only the good will of Irelands' government to help corals to survive. It is duty of Ireland to do something for cold-water corals. What will happen? I really don't know. But this situation will be solved I thing. This problem is not so big to has none solution. There are a lot of possibilities to do something with it and it is only the thing of government how will solve this problem not to big to become a world problem.

Kiefer Sutherland has already paid his dues in jail

Kiefer Sutherland was sentenced a drunken driving charge for 30 days, and in addition to this, he was sentenced for drunken-driving from 2004 for 18 days for violating probation stemming . He did not deny any contest for drunken-driving with alcohol level over 0.08 percent over allowed standard. Sutherland confessed that he was disappointed in himself for the poor judgment he had exhibited recently, and that "I'm deeply sorry for the disappointment and distress this has caused my family, friends and co-workers." Officer John Balian expressed his opinion about Sutherland's stay in prison that he had paid his debt to society within 48 days, which is quite long, but Southerland accepted the sentence and with no problems he served his full time in jail. He did not require any special treatment and spent his time in jail as a model prisoner, making no troubles, cooperating in every aspect and it was known that he felt humble due to his previous behavior. He tractably accepted his duties, including 5 years probation, six-month week therapy sessions and alcohol education program for 18 months. Almost all the time was Southerland in his own, except the short common activities provided together with the rest of the prisoner, such as cleanings in the laundry or pillowcases. There were also some attempts of curious people who wanted to see him, but all of these acquisitive temptations were being looked through. He was released from jail on Monday, 12:05 at a back door near the Glendale jail's major entrance in order to avoid media.

The Improvement of Yahoo Mail

Yahoo wants to improve and turn to more social and mobile Web. Company co-founder and CEO, Jerry Yang, was speaking at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. He said that making Yahoo Web more flexible, mobile, and social would strengthen its position between the users, that want to be use online communication. Jerry Yang rendered a little example of the Yahoo Mail new generation, Inbox 2.0, which had a success because it enables users the personal connections over the Yahoo and its networks. The basic and important idea lies in the separating of messages according to the level of importance. The most important people for you list above the other mails. This "testing inbox" shows the summarizing results not only of the e-mail messages, instant messages, text messages, and your voice messages, but when you click on the button "simplify your inbox, " you can see the summarizing result also in your connection in the MySpace and LinkedIn social networks. Jeremiah Owyang, an analyst for the Forrester Research thinks that Web mail is supposed to have some social connection between all the products provided. He says: "By centralizing the main communications and aggregating on the Yahoo mail platform, the opportunity to centralize and add value to users is at hand. The challenge will be in Yahoo gently deploying these features, educating users and being flexible, changing the communication habits that users are accustomed to takes time."

American expatriates voting online

Great news for American Democrats living abroad! This year they can on the first time in their lives vote online. This huge opportunity for expatriates to cast their ballots on the Internet allows them to vote for their representative anywhere they are. Democrats Abroad is an official branch of the party representing overseas voters. Thanks to them Americans can select their candidates by the Internet, fax, mail and in-person, too, in about 100 countries. The main point of this project was to provide the security of the whole system, and his authors are sure, that they succeed. "The online system is incredibly secure: That was one of our biggest goals," said Lindsey Reynolds, executive director of Democrats Abroad. U.S. citizens, who would like to vote online, must join the democrats before February 1 and must prove their preference to vote by the Internet. They also have to promise not to vote for a president twice. Than they get a personal identification number from the company running the online elections- Everyone Counts Inc. This number they can use to log in and cast their ballots. "We've had no security breaches. We do constant monitoring;" said Lori Steele, chief executive officer of Everyone Counts Inc .She is convinced that online voting "provides really a higher standard of security than is available in any other kind of system, including paper." We just have to hope, that this system will be working properly, and maybe a couple of years later we just can sit on our comfortable sofa and vote for the president.

Give me your IP and I tell you who you are!

Technology as still increasing industry has bigger and bigger popularity. But every coin has two sides. On one hand there is a fact that internet and computers save our time and let us do things quicker and better. On the other hand there is endless problem with our privacy and safety of the dates we have in our computers. The European Union seems they want to solve it. What actually that IP is? IP or Internet Protocol is an address used by certain electronic devices which should identify them and enable them to communicate with other computers which are using computer network. In other words IP is a string of numbers by which can be our computer identified on the Internet. Browsers such as Google Inc., Yahoo Inc. or Microsoft Corp. and many others should keep some privacy policy and so comply with EU privacy laws. While Peter Scharr, Germany's data protection commissioner, thinks IP has to be regarded as personal data, Google Inc. doesn't agree. Google claims that by IP address only location of a computer can be identified, but not individual user. Google also says that they collect IP addresses to provide better services to their customers and they can't do it properly if they don't know which part of the world these customers are from. Microsoft Corp. does not use IP address in the way Google Inc. does; their policy strategy uses logging into the Passport network. This whole situation makes me a bit crazy because people want to use internet connection, want to browse on the net and search for some information but they don't want to count with possibility that someone else will find out some little information about them. They are afraid of IPs but they have no problems with registering on sites as MySpace or FaceBook and writing there about themselves, sometimes very private data such as date of birth, description of their job or even photographs. The truth is that this topic will be problematic until someone comes out with some new and good solution. Hope someone like that comes soon.

Law about elk importation in Kentucky

Kentucky has settled new law concerning the injunction of transporting elk and deer into the state. A result of law issuing is a dispute over the interstate commerce restriction. According to two Feathers Elk and Bison Ranch in McMinville, Tennessee, and the North American Deer Farmers Association it is illegal to set such a law limiting the international importations. Shawn Schafer, executive director of the deer farmers in Lake City, expressed his doubts about the precise interpretation of the law. The Kentucky's commissioner of Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, Jonathan Jasset, was sued by the farm and the group as it brings them many troubles to obey the law due to the fact that they ship animals in both directions, to and from, Kansas just passing Kentucky on the interstates. Jasset did not answer himself, but Morgain Sprague, general counsel for the Fish and Wildlife department, has warned them by sending a letter that the law is constitutional and interpreted as it was intended. In addition to this, he informed them, that all animal caught in Kentucky will be destroyed. Kentucky intended to protect its own deer and elk from chronic disease. Hence, it proclaimed this so often discussed law including not only import of these animals but it also bans any transportation designed for another country. As it is written in Sprague's letter, "Your clients are free to use the interstates surrounding the Commonwealth of Kentucky to import cargoes into Tennessee." Any violation of the law will be punished by 5 years in prison, paying up to $10,000 and is considered as a felony. Schafer expressed his opinion about this interpretation of the law as the unique and the only one that was provided by Kentucky. He said that it was the only state that banned deer and elk from even crossing state lines.

Astronaut missed the spacewalk

Hans Schlegel, aged 56 is astronaut of German origin and currently a member of the crew on space shuttle Atlantis. The mission's main objective is to bring up $2 billion European Space Agency's science laboratory called Columbus, connect it to the International Space Station and activate it. A control center is being built in Europe to follow the ISS and most of all Columbus. By having lab module on orbit Europe becomes an important partner in international spaceflight community. Schlegel did not take part in the first spacewalk because of his illness, which he refused to specify, because "medical issues are private." "I did my very best inside," said the Mission Specialist 3. "But I do not deny that personally, for me, that was a little bit bitter. But it was the better choice to have the other crew member go out, and once that decision was made, I fully supported as much as I could." When it comes to the next spacewalk on Wednesday, February 13 there are no changes announced from NASA and European Space Agency officials. Schlegel is to go outside together with Rex Walheim who participated on Monday outing, and to adapt new nitrogen tank to the space station. The astronauts spent Tuesday by opening up and installing Columbus. "I have to say that the crew is like a bunch of kids with a new toy box," said flight director Bob Dempsey. Although there were some initial problems NASA stated that it is only natural with a new hardware. Atlantis will leave the ISS no sooner than Sunday.
