Apple Store Grand Opening - Chermside Brisbane (Blog Entry by dag)
But then I remembered that Apple is a soulless company that doesn't give a dime to charity, feigns a sophisticated and suave culture of pretentiousness, and revels in general technological ignorance to satiate its mass market audience.
So I blissfully continued about my day.
Time Lapse Visualization of US Unemployment
The dollar is only really down to levels it was pre-financial crisis. Taking your reference point at the height of the global financial crisis is unfair because everyone was buying up US treasury bonds and over inflating the currency.
The fact that countries are considering moving away from the US dollar as the reserve currency, the currency they trade in, and which they keep as foreign reserves is a good thing in the long term. This has kept the US dollar overvalued for decades, and has contributed significantly to the unsustainable consumption and housing binge, and was obvious a major catalyst for the global financial crisis. A rebalancing would put the onus further on factors of GDP such as investment as a contributor to economic growth.
To say that the economy is in recovery is not disingenuous. They're simply using leading indicators such as stock price or inventory levels, which are generally good predictors of economic recovery and in this case a pending fall in unemployment. The scale of that is anyone's guess though, as is how much of the economy was spurned by returning business confidence in the private sector rather that purely government stimulus and specific programs such as first home buyer's grants and cash for clunkers.

Leaked footage of a Modern Warfare 2 level as a terrorist?
Some distributor or developer decides the best way to give their game publicity and to boost its all important opening earnings is to include a gratuitously provocative, sensationalist and utterly unnecessary segment. Somebody acquires the game early, posts the footage on youtube and it reaches critical mass.
The media is drawn to this like a moth to flame in anticipation of easy ratings. They sensationalise it, take it out of content and bring in some 'experts' who have never actually played it or any other video games for that matter but are stalwart advocates against violence in videogames.
They pontificate about how because games are interactive and so realistic, they compel people to commit violence mentioning notable mass killings but being unable to provide any peer reviewed evidence for a significant link between the two.
Uproar ensues, game sells better than it would have otherwise. Rinse, repeat.

Getting Ready for VideoSift 4.1 (Sift Talk Post)
2. Add a way to pop up videos in their own tiny window. i remember asking for this ages ago and it didnt happen but now that I see youtube has this i know i can't be the only one who thinks this is a good idea! Because what I at least tend to do, is if I'm watching a long sift such as a documentary, I'll put it on in the background, and do something else while it's playing. you can already kinda do this in chrome pretty easily by ripping the tab off and squeezing it into a small box and shoving it to the side of the screen, but if there was a simple button to create a neat popup, it'd be so much easier.
3. Add a small drop down menu on each video page, that gives you an option of all the obvious long/short/genres/blocked commands to be posted automatically. Leave it so you can still do it manually too and add some witty comment at the end of it of course. I just think not having such a simple option makes it seem a bit archaic.
