Labelling the commercials
[Archived in DVD Recorders, Entry]
Kayne on 2003/09/30:
„This request is obviously well-meaning but it is probably not going to change the content of television shows. There are a relatively low number of Tivos, DVD Recorders, and other time-shifting electronics, and not all consumers use the commercial-skipping feature. Networks have found another way to increase their revenues, and they're going to fight any attempts to regulate this new advertising model.“

„AARE 2002 Paper code: MCS02081 Academics' metaphors and beliefs about university teaching and learning Kim McShane The University of Sydney Tel.: 02-9351 4872 Fax.: 02-9351 4331 E-mail: k.mcshane@itl.usyd.edu.au Abstract University teaching is becoming more professional (Hativa and Goodyear, 2002); the discourse of'the student experience' drives quality assurance processes, and lecturing staff are feeling compelled by institutional incentives and impositions to demonstrate improved curriculum and effective, efficient teaching. Cherished beliefs and teaching methods are changing. According to McWilliam and Palmer (1995), the certainty of'standing and delivering' (lecturing) is coming to an end.“http://www.aare.edu.au/02pap/mcs02081.htm - Cached
„I wouldn't call it being a perfectionist either; I would call it being a fiddler or a pussyfooter." As suggested by the unpopular choice of producer (American label Atlantic were worried Fripp's influence would result in an uncommerical record), Gabriel was becoming more confident in the studio. He insisted on using Roy Bittan (of Bruce Springsteen's band) for some of the piano and keyboard parts. Elsewhere on the record is the now familiar Tony Levin and Larry Fast from the first record, new drummer Jerry Marotta, guitarist Sid McGuinness and saxophonist TImmy Capello.“http://www.solsburyhill.org/essays/scratch.htm - Cached
„Seems just as likely they will stick around and become a "hub" for users' other devices, possibly as a storage device for all of the photos/text/audio/video content that people are creating. Tools from companies like Apple and Microsoft seem likely to play a big role here - Apple leading the way. Of course innovative new tools will be created (ex: Audblog, Typepad) but ultimately isn't there still a HUGE incentive for desktop sw giants to commoditize the personal content creation tools market as others were?“http://joi.ito.com/archives/2003/07/.../ thoughts_on_microcontent_metadata_and_trends.html - Cached

„This already shows clearly that a food supplement, regardless of its content of nutrients, has to be considered a food and not a medicine, as long as it is not offered with medical indications. Therefore, discussing a limitation of dosages, as least towards a maximum dosage, seems to be quite superfluous.“http://www.laleva.cc/supplements/ codexalimentarius.html - Cached
„To vindicate the naturalism in whose service it isdeployed, an informational theory of content must show how intentionalproperties can be characterized in naturalistic terms.While it is not obvious what terms should count as acceptablynaturalistic, proposed naturalistic accounts of intentional propertiesshould not presuppose that intentional properties arecompatible with naturalism (on pain of begging the very question suchtheories are intended to answer).Consequently, the necessary and sufficient conditions for havingintentional features required by a naturalistic theory of content mustnot themselves employ intentional idioms, nor should they employ anyother notions whose compatibility with naturalism is in doubt.That is to say, the naturalism constraint is intended to forceanalyses of intentional features to break out of the circle ofintentional features, and therefore proposed analyses of thesefeatures in terms of others of these features - satisfaction, truth,content, believing that p, etc. - will count for present purposesas unacceptably non-naturalistic.On the other hand, the insistence on naturalism is not intended topreclude abstract entities (e.g., laws, properties, numbers) fromappearing in the analysis of content.

„People habituated to the ease of use of TiVo, of burning shows to DVD, of networking television throughout the home, are in for a rude awakening when the broadcast flag takes effect. Frankly, there are going to be some seriously inconvenienced consumers come July 2005 and I would hate to be the politician on the other end of their anger. I can see the bumper stickers now: The FCC can have my TiVo when the pry it from my cold dead fingers.“http://www.corante.com/importance/archives/ 001580.html - Cached
