For you nightowls.
Newly up at the Internet Archive is the classic horror film Nosferatu:
Originally released in 1922 as Nosferatu, Eine Symphonie Des Grauens, director F.W. Munarau’s chilling and eerie adaption of Stoker’s Dracula is a silent masterpiece of terror which to this day is the most striking and frightening portrayal of the legend.Go grab it now.
Big entertainment has captured Oren Hatch (see Induce) and at least 46 state attorneys general also appear to see themselves as responsible to big industry and not the citizens of their respective states.
The Washington Post and C/Net are reporting that the SGs are
are set to warn major peer-to-peer file-sharing networks that they may face enforcement actions if they do not take steps to stem illegal activity on the networks, such as the trading of child pornography and stolen movies and music.But, really, does this reflect consumer or industry concerns:
“We are writing to encourage your companies to take concrete and meaningful steps to address the serious risks posed to the consumers of our states by your companies’ peer-to-peer file-sharing technology,” the letter said. “At present, P2P software has too many times been hijacked by those who use it for illegal purposes to which the vast majority of our consumers do not wish to be exposed.”Uhhh, with the possible exception of ad/spyware that may come bundled with some P2P applications I don’t think anyone is exposed to anything they do not choose .
Thanks to Nurse Ratched for the pointers to bush’s campaign ketchup (You don�t support Democrats. Why should your ketchup?) and kerry’s campaign panties, e.g., expose bush, lick bush, etc.
Not DSL, not 3 Mbps cable. Nope, this is broadband:
Cairns, North Queensland, Australia, July 6, 2004 – ResearchChannel, an industry leader in Internet distribution of quality content, demonstrated the first successful transmission of full bandwidth High Definition (HD) 1080i video between two desktop computers using high speed networking technology at the Asia Pacific Advanced Network (APAN) conference in Cairns, Australia today. Conference attendees were treated to three HD video clips streamed at a sustained data rate of 1.5 gigabits per second. (emphasis added)And, I think, this is exactly what big media and big cable are afraid of and why we haven’t seen a more agressive roll out of broadband services. Heck, even 100 Mbps full duplex would open the door to massive disintermediation of the media industry.
