Hi-def DVD format wars over? Hah.

So, Toshiba dropped HD-DVD into the abyss. Sony actually won a format battle (note: not war) - amazing - it had been a while

But anyone that thinks Sony’s won a format war here, is a fool. It beat a rival, but its other rival, the one people forget, is ubiquitous broadband and ever larger hard disks. Good luck beating them, Blu-Ray!

UPDATE: Bang on! A roundtable in the NY Times comes to a similar conclusion

Ever watched robot wars?

For a little while, I adored Robot Wars, a TV program in which chainsaw, articulated pickaxe, or plough- adorned robots fought gladiatorially under the able (or not so able) piloting of their constructors. It overstayed it’s welcome on British, unable to evolve it’s format to resist the incursion of The Simpsons and teen soaps into the only timeslot (~6pm) programmers could find it. Anyhow, this video of an astoundingly advanced, oddly dog-like four-legged robot has been doing the rounds for over a fortnight. Watch it - it’ll make you realise just how far things have come. The actual mechanics of the thing don’t *look* that impressive from still shots, but just wait ’til you see how incredibly it recovers from a hard kick in the ‘ribs’ that send it toppling sideways as it’s walking along. Or how it scrapples over incredibly uneven surface in a forest, in the snow, over rubble, how it jumps two legged over ‘gaps’… a LOT like a dog. The sensors and intelligence are the strength of this thing (instantly calculating the right foot placement when it’s toppling over sideways, to stop it falling over). That kind of AI has probably been the biggest hurdle in...

Seesmic buys a Twitter client: a big step for desktop micro-broadcasting

When I post short blocks of text to Twitter, short posts on my blog, a quick video to YouTube, etc, I'm broadcasting myself in micro-format compared to the 30 minute format standard TV broadcast. This is being done from my very own desktop (including browser, mobile, playstation, etc), not in a professional studio/newsroom. This studio-> desktop transition is the same seismic shift as that seen in digital graphics and typesetting during the 80s and 90s). What I suspect motivates Seesmic's M+A is this: just like Adobe, Corel et al got big on the back of a desktop revolution in publishing, Seesmic feels it can capitalise on the desktop (micro-)broadcasting revolution by building a unified program that people can use as a gateway to broadcasting themselves to various places on the web. Prediction: 2008/2009 is going to witness many surprise moves in the micro-broadcasting space. Here are some wild guesses to spark your imagination: (... more)...

Is Google using your brain as you browse?

I just stumbled across a research paper published by a Google employee and a Microsoft employee entitled “A Case for Usage Tracking to Relate Digital Objects“. I have no idea who Elin Rønby Pedersen is but she’s published both on this and on Google’s much vaunted foray into organising your health data. The paper highlights an interesting idea, potentially just as important to Future Google as Pagerank has been to Google so far. It’s not groundbreaking - you see it on, for example, Amazon. But it’s worth thinking about, applied to the whole web. The idea is that related objects - and I use the term extremely loosely here - can be identified because you looked at them during a session of Internet browsing; you started with one, and your later browsing takes you to related objects - blog posts or news articles on the same or related subject; similar videos; etc. Your brain does the hard work of deciding what objects you’re looking for; average that with other similar datasets and Google has a pretty damn good idea of what objects on the web are related, no matter what format the object has (could be visual, textual, a flash...
