TV produced by the user: the epic remake »FM 1980?



At the beginning of the 80 , it was via the FM band the breakup of the monopoly of large national radio stations. For younger children who have not lived to see the excerpt below from Wikipedia.

I'm betting that today we live fast breakdown of that monopoly for the last great bastion protected media: the national private TV channels or public.

because all parts are in place:
was missing a piece of the puzzle to complete the palette: the talk-show proximity (to social component, of course). Korben shows that it is possible today with the application MyTVLive on Facebook, which, in the vein of Justin.tv and UStream , allows Mr Tout le Monde, which has retained its single webcam, to do his TV show and webcast live via Facebook embellished with comments by users Facebook's watching. We had already "major events" live on Facebook or Youtube experimenting also direct , now we have local content that can emerge ...

course, all these components are still a few odds and ends and a few months / years are needed to thin anything new magma media personnel and make it accessible and digestible by all.

However if I was TF1 and France Television, I worry: unlike the FM of the 1980s, behind this "DIY enthusiast" (which also reminds me of the epic CB and in the same years) the huge global giants (Google and Facebook) that are ready to help all those "personal TV producers" by their technological capabilities without limit (see infrastructure Facebook or Google's ) that they make freely available via the Web to chew chewable Toothy in the advertising pie which Television is by far the largest share !

It takes time for the outbreak of the breastplate of "TV history? ;-)

Preview Wikipedia on FM in the 1980s:

"From the 70s, some groups of young radio enthusiasts are beginning to broadcast locally on FM. On 13 May 1977 Green radio broadcasts on Paris and announces the launch of dozens of FM radio stations across France.

The challenge is great noise, the stations are increasing and multiplying the state seized and interference. Considered by Prime Minister Raymond Barre as "a powerful seed of anarchy" free radios to FM struggle to exist.

The election of François Mitterrand in 1981 marked a real change because he supported the initiatives of free radio. After hesitating to face opposition from the press, the Socialists began a timid liberalization of FM, power limitation, prohibition of advertising revenues.

Soon these constraints yield the benefit of strong stations and better organized, NRJ, Skyrock. Free radios become private local radio stations. "

Welcome Speech For Annual Day

Google now, when Wikio Digg, etc.. ? The algorithm can defame .....

The recent decision by the Paris Court convicting Google CEO Eric Schmidt and his for defamation Following the search keywords associated with the unpleasant name of the complainant will undoubtedly be a landmark in French jurisprudence and even international!

It is extensively detailed on the merits by William.

Anti-Americanism will s' to rejoice ("Google sentenced, cool!") but I think they have a great mistake: this decision could in fact destroy rather the innovative efforts of many technology startups, much less well equipped than Google in terms of legal defense and with very deep pockets that the Mountain View giant to pay the bills of lawyers. And if the situation of digital innovation freezes or slows dramatically in the current situation, Europe will only lost many battles but the war ...

Indeed, the key sentence of this decision is in my opinion. "algorithms or software solutions proceed from the human mind before being implemented" and it TGI deduced that these algorithms to the responsibility of those who produce / use so that Google in this case.

Even if taken literally, this assertion is obviously correct. It poses a real problem because, by analogy, it can potentially endanger all sites that publish content items from the application of algorithms on their raw material: the digital information generated by their users or direct collected on other sites.

The court here applied this assertion keywords defamatory connotation coupled by the searches of other users but the way is open for other trials:

all content aggregators (Wikio, Digg, etc ...) whose algorithms put the first page of information at times "contentious" are now risking such trials in their turn. Ditto for social networks (Facebook in mind!) Who republish information at the request of their members. In general, these are the most salacious which travel faster through these algorithms for any "emotion"-they generate.

These sites must therefore obtain, if not already done so, a team of editors willing to eradicate any content soon it is contested by the players he puts into question their claim. This will at least ensure their compliance with the law LCEN .

doing so, these sites will acquire an editorial side more and more marked (when they want to escape to continue to operate at large scale without enormous human cost ...) and thus expose themselves more to legal attacks from the manual selection ever more intense they will have to make to "fix" the flawed results of their algorithms. The trap of the vicious circle!

Trials similar to those of Wikio or Fuzz (Earned by these startups in the first round) or other instances when Google might re-emerge in the short term for a second test against this new law! For example, the famous "hole in the c. .." The recent presidential next to which you could not pass in recent weeks: again, these are the algorithms that Google brought up this page of results for these keywords. The argument so often used by Google "is not us, our algorithm is" no longer holds ....

This decision does not she just open the Pandora's box ? Wrongly or reason: to me it is not clear right now .... é

PS: Loved the court balances on one side then the other are normal. It is not easy to deal with these situations all very similar when it comes to judging the indirect result of the work (algorithm) of a person / team for its realization (the results of the moment) that can come from months or years after writing that algorithm, ie in a new and different.

Ulnar Nerve Impingement Exercises

Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) personally richer than Steve Jobs (Apple)

"Value does not await the number of years, "said Cornelius.

for the CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, it would have been enough just to write the" pecuniary value. "Indeed, with a personal fortune now estimated at 6.9 billion dollars by filing periodic Forbes, he passes that Steve Jobs is not worth it "only" 6.1 billion (for the most part from the sale of Pixar to Disney rather than Apple shares its 1.3 billion). Not bad for 26 years!

He still has some work to catch the 2 Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page who are Now everyone rich $ 15 billion. The best is still Bill Gates with $ 54 billion. Still a little work, Mark .... This

forturne Mr. Zuckerberg is obviously due to the explosive growth of its creation: the social networking site Facebook now very a half billion people frequently active . This massive global penetration blew the value of his company estimated these days at $ 23 billion against 14 there is still only 9 months.

The value of Facebook is not at its peak: Zuckerberg confirmed yesterday the ongoing development of a platform for mobile social to put the "social whole" in our pocket.

Based on Google's Android? It's not impossible for Mr. Zuckerberg does not want a new mobile OS (the war raged otherwise ...) but rely on an existing OS and profoundly change to achieve its goal: the initial legal choice of Google in terms of the license allows perfectly!

Alliance circumstances for companies that are struggling as of ragpickers on other areas?

How Can I Increase The Range Of Ir Remote

Orange: Vade retro Android, iPhone!

Mobile operators are faced with an immense challenge that might well become a huge problem. They live around iPhone and Android the full force of disintermediation / re-intermediation to potentially becoming mere carriers of bits that can no longer fight on their prices as their benefits will become indistinguishable if such transport actually becomes their only mission . Bad for growth and margins!

Freenews the reports about the Figaro Stéphane Richard, CEO of Orange

operators can they regain the upper hand against Apple or Google?
Yes, I think. That's why I invited 8 October in Paris bosses of Vodafone, Telefonica and Deutsche Telekom. We want to think together to create an operating system, which is the Trojan horse used by Google and other Apple to establish their own relationship with our customers. We advocate for the world as open as possible. At four of us, we weigh nearly one billion customers and have a real clout and ability to influence the industry. This can take various forms: a joint venture, a small plant applications Commons, we'll see ... We do not want to be followers but take the reins in innovation.
Indeed, Google via Android and Apple iPhone via currently shaping the mobile market totally new
  • they define, design and market their combined without actually asking their opinion on mobile operators historical . Previously, they worked hand in hand with Nokia, Ericsson & Co to define our next phone being careful not to "shoot itself in the foot" by innovating too fast or in dangerous directions for their flow income. The new handsets thus have very different objectives: to be the most innovative and rich accelerate our rate of turnover (Apple), we facilitate the use of the Internet to maximize and therefore maximize advertising revenue (Google) .
  • they opened the market: the development kits are inexpensive (Apple) or free (Android). Anyone who has some originality and some talent can become programmatic developer to participate in this new gold rush ...(.. ordinator in our jeans pocket) which suggests Eric Schmidt to ensure "as milk on the fire ".
  • they facilitated the marketing of these applications: apps App Store and Android Market other. For Apple, each download is worth 30 cents but it is mostly always sell more handsets even if to 40% it becomes dangerous . For Google, it's about creating more applications more quickly: most of them are free. And then, where to look for developers monetize through advertising ;-)
  • they captured the billing relationship in a partial but still increasing for many years: Buyers applications directly pay Apple which then transfers 70% ( ditto for Google) to developers. The operator is no longer the driver of these transactions on which it could be directly commission without having to seek retribution for indirect still fragile ...
  • they removed the support relationship: the range of applications is so large that users are doing now largely through Internet forums, etc.. to fix their problems: call centers are now unable to resolve many problems in this application and does not wish to do so elsewhere.
  • They killed most of the services with high added value (and therefore higher margin): the integration of GPS chips in handsets has disintegrated the potential windfall of location-based services, VoIP apps to the Skype mobile would even take voice communications juicy (roaming) or abroad.
The largest numbers ever produced in turn by Apple and Google must create nightmares in the above mentioned because they are all publicly listed and the disenchantment of their shareholders will dawn soon as plummeting prices if they never found no solution to this thorny problem. The current tactical

packages all inclusive only awkwardly defensive: it seeks to protect current revenues, but not a strategic direction to ensure sustainable profitability and growth of these florets Fellows past and today. How to build future bases on too tenuous?

Google initially wanted to help manufacturers meet these operators strategy behind its Android : he can not put them in trouble because its prosperity depends on advertising their own viability. This reaction shows that she ' it there is "a bone in the soup" in the vision of Mountain View? Re-intermediation (see of the press) is not an unfamiliar situation for Google, which has also that of the TV in the crosshairs ....

iPhone: Photos from the funeral by Microsoft Official Google Instant


What's all geek blogs this morning in the U.S., the pictures of the funeral procession of the iPhone Organized by Microsoft employees to celebrate the start of production Windows 7 in its mobile version.


this is inflated "in the coffin - canning" even if it's good to have fun after hard work! When one looks at the evolution of respective market shares , one wonders who buries whom so it's hard to spot their presence on the graph

Stay dan tradition of Steve Ballmer, their boss, with his great classic Dance Monkey Developer MS employees were even offered a little dance on Michael Jackson's Thriller



We may have a response soon from Apple employees with "We Are The Champions" ( ... and for good reason) Queen? ;-)

Is It Bad To Have Pityriasis Rosea More Than Once

: 5 to 7 times more queries on the servers! Google Instant

In my first post Google Instant: gamble? " , I speculated on the number of queries generated by additional queries anticipated (via Javascript / Ajax - in the background) to central servers that are needed to save the time allotted to users.

In a post that details the backroom of Google Instant , an engineer gave a figure: 5 to 7 requests anticipated for an effective search (ie a query in the old mode of operation). So, 5-7 times more physical activity for the same human activity! It's finally good: the machine is ready to do anything to serve us. For many, until now, it was just the opposite .... ;-)

If one accepts the 2 million machines at Google, this change would have required hundreds of thousands of additional servers.

same time, these massive extensions infrastructure is "business as usual in Mountain View:
And all this with a goal "filling up" these new machines to minimize the carbon footprint of the Googleplex! ;

Bath Salts After Waxing

: a big gamble?

Google Now is the new interface of Google or the search results are displayed and edited in real time as and when you type each letter of the keywords (itself supported by the proposed predictive Google Suggest).

To learn more, visit this page at Google or more, do some research on the engine to see these dynamic results.

map put forward by Google, his famous "Do not be evil" (ie the contrary, "be good") around the theme that the only thing that is sought by Instant ; of gain time on each search. A shot 2-5s by motion Google evokes 11h of human time saved every second for the billions of daily requests ( suddenly 30,000 + / second )

L economics unit per query is certain but is it really saves time overall for the user? We may believe that it is rather to show - for the time invariant it devotes to research - to more organic results but mostly commercials (which are also dynamic ...) to swell turnover at 97% still dependent on advertising (Very slow decay: -2% in 3 ½ years on a total volume incomparable).

It's a real gamble anyway from Google:
  • multiple technologies (central caches content, Ajax interface in the browser, etc.). have been (re) developed for occasion
  • operating costs resulting enormous: Google's servers respond to n intermediate query results instead of one with the old interface. Of course, with 2 + million servers, you can see coming but such a large scale must launch despite all mean the addition of a high percentage of new machines, so massive investment to handle the load without firing a shot. What seems to be the case: Google is answering as fast as yesterday. That line about the E. Schmidt speaks of operational excellence as a strategic advantage Google!
  • how to use and exchange of feedback from users: it seems to me personally that I focus exclusively this morning on the organic results (center column) because I know it changes as and when my entry. I do not see results right advertising. Even if I assume that Google has tested with massive panels before launching a large scale, there is a huge financial risk for them if we are all acting like this and sustainably
  • this new interface could also disrupt the entire system AdWords / AdSense: users will enter more words to narrow down the results live before submitting their research. The consequence may be violent advertising: the keywords unique and very generic very expensive because of competition between thousands of advertisers ( among 1 million!) Will become less attractive. Cost per click could fall by mechanically reducing bidders and then cause a decrease in revenue correlated Google
  • the market will become less clear: it was enough to last at institutes such as Comscore & Co count of queries at the server level to define shares market. Instant Google, queries to the servers instantly lose their significance in relation to their actual use! So Google may see less clearly its 67% market share with advertisers to seduce
Google Instant is a step forward for the user but not to such a single blow to the supplier I think this is really swollen!

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained," says the proverb. To risk all that, Google has finally want to win a lot .... The first gain is anyway surely panic among competitors like Bing!

..... unless there is no risk because all behavioral consequences have been analyzed thousands of users over time to anticipate the results.

The 20,000 employees of Google with Instant surely live for months. But are they representative of the average user? the launch of Buzz had not proved that ...

Does Lupus Butterfly Rash Come & Go

Apple: we activate iOS 230,000 per day, Android better!

Photo: Techcrunch

The race for market share in the field of mobile gadgets continues between Apple and Google :

For 200,000 Androids activated daily by Google, Steve Jobs said yesterday by 230,000 iOS "activated" each day.

The ambiguity remains on the products concerned: iPhone only or iPad and / or also iPod ? They are connected to the App Store via iTunes must also be "activated" in this connection even if they have not expanded mobile capabilities (wifi only)

Anyway, this race Apple \u0026lt;> Google site for different reasons:
We had already "mine is bigger than yours" for engines research, we now turn the theme "I turn faster than you": it will in turn take a few years ....

PS: Google, Apple, watch out when mêmeà not ultimately be achieved "early activation"! ;-)
