Short attention span web-television is not the entire story. Reacting to a NYTimes article, MarketingVOX points out, longer form should not be counted out.
At INTV in 2002, and up through our current release on intv.com, Ryan Fields and I believe long form has legs. Back in the day I had an investor tell me with absolute seriousness that people would never watch television on computers. The sad fact is, that guy, like so many business people just did not understand the shifting device marketplace. It’s not television on a computer, it’s a computer controlling a video signal.
Take a look at these two charts. In the first we see, in the aggregate, almost 50% of users watch online video on a separate display device from their primary computer monitor (not including mobile). In the second, note that 70% say they’ll cut cable within 5 years because the programming they want is either only on the net, or is of better quality. These are the trends Ryan and I have been projecting now for a decade. No, we have not made the leap to be as famous as RC Cola, but at least we’re still slugging it out and trying to make a difference.
“So maybe Jackson couldn’t keep the world moving to music, and maybe he did terrible things or maybe he didn’t. But for one long, glorious moment he made the world dance. And he did it like no one ever had or probably ever will.”
This Sekai Camera iPhone demo gets a “Standing-O”, and in my book awards for best application and most entertaining presentation. In the video our presenters are very clear in their effort to motivate the audience and investors panel to:
Please Join Us. Let’s make together. Whole world.
Please imagine there is no web.
And yes, the billion dollar question was ask.. When Google buys you… “NEVER”.
Will the future feel object-free, and placeless? If so, won’t we not know it when we’re there?

Zero History references a book-in-progress by William Gibson.
So it’s been done before: Microsoft Live Sync, and IRC fserve
And it’s not secure enough for some things, but is it secure enough?
Blah, blah, blah.
Ignore the chatter. The back story is this…
Opera Unite makes personal file sharing into a browser setting, instead of a mile-long process. It means I can share without uploads, and I can host without dyndns. These are milestones indeed, if for no other reason than because it’s so simple your mom can use it.
Charlie Miller hacks browsers, and I suppose other web techs, but this little tidbit from our title shows a bit of the future. He works for Independent Security Evaluators, and in this ZDNet articles points the way forward for exploitists.
I have a new campaign. It’s called NO MORE FREE BUGS. Vulnerabilities have a market value so it makes no sense to work hard to find a bug, write an exploit and then give it away. Apple pays people to do the same job, so we know there’s value to this work. No more free bugs.
And this note:
I actually found this bug before last year’s Pwn2Own but, at the time, it was harder to exploit. I came to CanSecWest last year with two bugs but only one exploit. Last year, you could only win once so I saved the second bug.
We always knew hackers were smart, but Charlie proves they are also business savvy. Cheers to you Mr. Miller for turning the tables ever so slightly. You may piss off the elite hackerati, but I endorse your entrepenural spirit.
I first saw The Avett Brothers with my brother Kevin in Winston-Salem at an outdoor concert back in 2006. Tonight at 11:59 EDT they hit the stage at SXSW (listen live / archive). For those web and music jocks not yet exposed to The Avett’s I can think of no better statement for what you will experience (actually I wacked the title from NPR, but who’s counting).
Video here is from the Winston show courtesy YouTuber twicetreasured who ironically seems to also have a Chris Cook thing, a band I saw last night in Belmont and who’s playing the world famous Double Door Inn in Charlotte this Sunday, March 22, 2009. Go figure that synergy.
