Viacom and YouTube ridiculed the evidence leaves

YouTube has a dispute with Viacom over the years . The owner of entities such as MTV , Dreamworks, SpongeBob TV Nickelodeon and Paramount monumental claims compensation for the alleged losses suffered by the number of video clips that users upload theirs to YouTube, “without these do enough to avoid it. “

But now returns the campion YouTube to Viacom, and how. In a post on its official blog, reported that Viacom has been raising their own videos to YouTube through no fewer than 18 marketing companies, in order to have more arguments in its application to YouTube. In many cases, these videos have been damaged intentionally designed to look like leaked or stolen.

Other times the videos have been uploaded by employees of Viacom. Even many company executives have stated publicly that their videos should stay on YouTube. Come on, that from the Google service insist they have nothing at Viacom even his position clear , but which nevertheless remain in demand.

Do not even have a hair cut and are delivered to Viacom mock for the many blunders they have had with their own videos:

On countless occasions demanded the withdrawal of Viacom video clips that she had uploaded to YouTube, only to return later to ask them to return sheepishly to be published. In fact, one of the many videos for those who demand we were uploaded Viacom’s own Viacom .

Also criticized the double standards of Viacom , which has been using YouTube as an advertising medium, posting videos or not reporting the withdrawal of some, while the game was dirty and kept the demand. These tactics have made it difficult, as the post content from Viacom detect which was authorized by it and what not. “But Viacom believes that YouTube should know in some way.”

If you’re going to embark on an absurd demand, at least not throw stones on your own roof. And above all, do not underestimate Google’s ability to analyze your moves online , put two and two, and give it back with interest. Your business relies on having data and extract the juice, you know?

The draft “Law Sinde” has been approved, welcome to the banana republic Spanish

Ladies and gentlemen, the Government of Spain has just put us to the bottom with premeditation, treachery and deception including to approve today March 19, 2010 aberration draft “Law Sinde” via Council Ministers in the Spanish city of Seville.

Yes friends, or the # manifest, or meetings with the Minister of Copyrigh t, and the demonstrations in the street, or any other initiatives that were put into operation against the first final provision included in the framework of the Act have served Sustainable Economy for the Government to stop the advance of Spain, and more than safe passage in Congress, this legislation (legislation says who says evil thing), which among other things allow from now on Spain can be closed without requiring court intervention sites .

But the adoption of the draft “Law Sinde” shows (and will soon) a lot more truly grave , we have just got confirmation that today’s weight is almost equal citizenship to zero, we are pure puppet political power around by its nose. On the other hand the adoption of the Law Sinde “is also confirmation that corporate lobbyists are those who run the place” in Spain. And finally this new legislation is an egregious abuse of fundamental rights of citizens. These are the most critical points, but there are many more negative consequences, some of which even we can see today, we have to wait a while to appreciate the true negative impact that will have the First Final Provision.

What now? Many will be wondering. For the truth that is hard to answer that question, but several do have very clear thing: is not the time to whine nor reproach, it is time to reflect together on how to continue to give battle where it hurts (now we must talk in terms of war that are best blocks). And we have to do it or yes, what we’re playing lately, not only in Spain are extremely important things we do today or do not, a decisive impact in the future.

Will lower the price of music disc to fight against iTunes and downloads (Are you kidding?)

I’ve forgotten when was the last time you bought a music disc. I want you to know that not only is the money, but also because it is a means annoying , big and complicated to carry. But if you’re one of those people who have stopped buying them due to price, perhaps you are interested in this proposal Universal .

The people at the label aims to lower the cost of the discs to U.S. $ 10 and although not yet made the final decision to do so, they are talking with distributors to reach an agreement.

There are more than one reason. First by the emergence and success of iTunes, where the disks are not only cheaper but cost is also the option of buying a song and, in his own studies, that is one reason why people stopped purchasing CDs. Another is by downloading copyrighted material.

It appears they were doing some tests at different stores where they put the cheapest material and others where they put the same price. Consumers responded very well, as the percentage of sales in the places worth less were much higher than others.

The disks are a format of the past which, fortunately, are slowly beginning to disappear . It is impossible for anyone today to compare, say, a CD player with MP3 player when listening to music while traveling and the argument of quality loss was completely invalid since they appeared formats like FLAC.

Will Google stop working in China since April 10?

It appears that the decision to Google left China is getting closer to materialize and after months of negotiations there is no news to show a hopeful horizon as we would like. In fact now a newspaper in China, the China Business News reports that the search engine plans to stop providing its services on 10 April and the official announcement would be next Monday, March 22nd.

This information was allegedly confirmed by a

employee of the company there but still not officially confirmed. In addition also would allow all workers to migrate to the company’s offices in the U.S..

If this were true it is not known whether Google would do is just stop providing form or completely remove all of its services. Chances are that is

the second option , but it is not known.

For those who are not aware, this is currently happening in the country because the government wants-go-censoring search results and providing them only to look correct.

For example if the word is currently looking for Tiananmen the Chinese version and the versions of the rest of the world, you can see that

the results are not the same . This Google does not want to allow and that is why there is talk of taking the most drastic decision of all: leaving China.

Friday’s game: Staggy The Boyscout Slayer

This week has a name: KRATOS . The third installment of the most famous game of PlayStation 3 to stores today comes in several variants.

Kratos marveled at its first delivery to users of PlayStation 2, then surprised by the great God of War 2 in a game that hurried PS2 full potential and capacity of DVD9 and now in God of War III , this Spartan custom to end the gods of the bloodiest way possible promises action, blood and a little more blood to all the lucky owners of a PS3.

Maybe that’s the only problem that we can find God Of War III for PS3 only, so that users of PC and XBOX 360 we are left with the desire to get their hands and enjoy to the absolute limits of graphics and streams of blood flowing through our incredible screen shots while you run on a huge number of enemies. The history of the game promises, as in his first two versions, and appears not to disappoint.

But then, what about PC users? For if we enjoyed Dante’s Inferno but the scythe and Nothing more, we found a little gem in the bowels of Flash games. His name is Staggy: The Boyscout Slayer , which comes to mean “the herd of Boy Scouts. Yes, this weekend we will be able to satisfy our bloodlust killing boyscouts. The game is pretty simple, but in turn funny and cruel.

Will play a style of armor to be wearing Darth Vader, wielding a sword with which we can cut off heads, gut or from the middle to the Scouts who will try to destroy us. Also get power-ups to increase the life and power of our weapons destrucion. At first level is easy, and scouts only besiege us with sticks, but things will get worse when to multiply and attack us with bows, swords and laser guns.

If you have a good time and spill gallons of blood while your friends enjoy sublime graphics, Staggy Enter, you need not install anything, just hold on to the arrow keys and the spacebar.

The creator of Mario Bros among candidates for the 2010 Prince of Asturias Award

If I Shigeru Miyamoto is more than likely hundreds of readers know very well that I’m talking about, but for those who do not tell them that Miyamoto is an institution within the video game world as creator of some mythical titles like Mario Bros, Zelda and Donkey Kong to which we have all missed a game at some point in our lives.

“ Well, it’s no big deal “are thinking at all. They are wrong, whether it’s for both because Shigeru Miyamoto is not just a video game designer is but a genius who revolutionized the field on several occasions , there are some examples that support the statement:

• Time magazine selected him as one of the most influential people in the world

• The British Academy of Film and Television was awarded the BAFTA Award

• Is the author of Wi fit (30 million sold) and Wii Music

• Is the creator of one of the most played games of all time: Mario Bros (about 240 million copies sold )

• The main character of Mario Bros, Mario, was the first video game character to move freely around the screen, the first to introduce the lateral movement and the first move in a three-dimensional environment

• By Gamerankings four of the five best games ever were created by Miyamoto

• In total he created nearly 200 games of all kinds and colors

I could go on but I think that is enough to understand why Miyamoto is a genius that people Gamelab International Fair of video games and interactive entertainment, has decided to propose to receive the Prince of Asturias Award for Communication and Humanities 2010 .

Personally I am glad that someone has filed candidacy by Shigeru Miyamoto for the prestigious Templeton Prize, since aside from the points above as you said the director of Gamelab, Ivan Fernandez Lobo , Miyamoto is ” the leading exponent of a great generation of interactive designers, who conceived the game as a new medium, able to unite people around a shared experience, regardless of age, sex, social status or culture “. Good luck Miyamoto !

Tweeterview interviews in 140 characters via Twitter

Since there is internet in general and particularly social networks, the world is getting smaller where everything is more accessible, including people. To tap this vast potential has been created Tweeterview , a website from which we can tuitero interview any real time , while users are connected and comment on the live event.

To participate in the interviews, we will create account on the Web and Twitter have to associate with another, although the record is minimal , we need only a username and password. After that everything is a matter of configuring the interview, indicating the date, time and the interviewee.

The best part is that while we make the interview, we receive questions from the “spectators” to our Twitter account in the normal way, without delaying the conversation, so as to facilitate the interaction with the public through this feedback.

The truth is that the service is pulling a bit simple, as only see the timeline for inquiries and all in English . But still, it gives us the opportunity to make things interesting enough without having great knowledge. So all that remains is to find the perfect candidate to ask him some questions. Does anyone dare to interview some of the greats of Twitter?.

The nature and numbers

Nature by numbers is an amazing movie Spanish Cristobal Vila about mathematics, numbers and nature. The short is very well done and is an interesting way to learn how to learn basic concepts in the education process have a real representation (and not just theoretical) on the things that surround us.

The video pauses to explain how the Fibonacci spiral appears in nature and also the Golden Ratio and Angle, and The Delaunay Triangulations.
