Watching Football on Computer
If this really is to be the future of tv sport, then someone needs to think about cushions.
A wooden Ikea chair is not made with two hours of football viewing in idea, which meant that by the final whistle, I was hankering for the comfy sofa.
How many an other fans paid ‘tween £5 and £12 to watch the equate live was later revealed to be close to half a million. Some were angry about being asked to pay anything.
There was a lack of enthusiasm in my peer group, partly due to the fact that England had already qualified, but also because a 20-inch computing device screen does not have the same appeal as a 40-inch plasma.
Millions of people view broadcasts in this way on the iPlayer, but watching a live event for two hours would be a new feel for many.
Even with a laptop sitting in comfort, or viewing the web on your television via a PC, the picture will not usually be approaching high-definition quality.
So for most people, computers can’t yet offer the modern football experience. What they are good at, however, is forcing people through mundane processes of registration.

EA gets into the cheap, fast game market on iPhone
EA has seen the iPhone as a place to release $10 ports of its big-name properties, but a new EA studio will go in the other direction with inexpensive, high-concept titles. The first game? Yup, it involves zombies.

Film101: Award-Eligible Podcast Snubbed!
Recently, Rich Albertoni wrote a very good article about local podcasts for Isthmus. Given my penchant for hyperbole, “very good” is a scathing critique from my keyboard. Why, I gave a review of eight of ten multiple orgasms to the week-old fries I found under my couch last night. This so-called piece of journalism claims to discuss local culture in the podcast era, yet fails to mention our very own semi-professional, not-technicaly-illegal Film101.
What’s the deal, Albertoni? Or should I say, Alber-phony?! Do you think we do this podcast for fun? Why do you think I spend literally dozens of minutes every couple weeks to bring the best in local cinema to Dane County? I didn’t go to film school, fail to get a job in Hollywood, and spend my day job hours reviewing movies and crying into my beer for this. Read the rest of this entry »

JD: It’s the way I’ve always been visualizing information. A stream, imagine a 911 calls a typical center gets, and those calls flowing into a stream that bubbles up makes sense. We developed it over many iterations.
ES: Facebook always had a stream element, but with the latest re-design this has been emphasized in a big way. How’s that going? Read the rest of this entry »
