Youtube duet: Miles Davis improvising on LCD Soundsystem

YouTube-дуэт: попробуйте сами

Взято два отдельных ролика: LCD Soundsystem 2009 года с поющим лягушонком Кермитом о его любви к Нью-Йорку и запись-импровизация Miles Davis к фильму Луи Маля "Лифт на эшафот" 1958 года и воспроизведены - получился чудесный дуэт. Смотреть не отрываясь!

Я тут же попробовал сделать это самостоятельно, и это действительно получилось. Давайте немедленно это повторите!

Эффектнее это смотрится, если ролики открыть в новых разных окнах, и поставить рядом друг с другом. Сначал открываем http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eohHwsplvY - можно сразу и запустить, громкость - на половинку. Теперь открываем в новом окне http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-XVlrauLxc, сразу нажимаем на паузу, громкость на максимум - и ждём. Когда в первом ролике лягушонок дойдет до 0.32 - запускаем второй ролик.

А если у вас два монитора - то лучше развести ролики на разные мониторы и сделать полноэкранный режим.

Всё, дальше наслаждаемся).

Можно попробовать сделать это и здесь. Запускаем первый ролик:

Ждем, и на 0.32 запускаем второй:

Получилось?

Steve Wozniak Predicts Horrible Problems With the Cloud

"'I think it's going to be horrendous,' said Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak when asked about the shift away from hard disks towards uploading data into the cloud in a post-performance dialogue with audience members after a performance in Washington of The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, monologist Mike Daisey's controversial two-hour expose of Apple's labor conditions in China. 'I think there are going to be a lot of horrible problems in the next five years.' The engineering wizard behind the progenitor of today's personal computer, the Apple II, expanded on what really worried him about the cloud. 'With the cloud, you don't own anything. You already signed it away through the legalistic terms of service with a cloud provider that computer users must agree to. I want to feel that I own things,' Wozniak said. 'A lot of people feel, 'Oh, everything is really on my computer," but I say the more we transfer everything onto the web, onto the cloud, the less we're going to have control over it.'"

Chinese prisoners forced to produce virtual gold, real profits for their guards

Chinese prisoners forced to produce virtual gold, real profits for their guards

By Vlad Savov  posted May 26th 2011 5:14AM

The virtual goods economy of massively multiplayer online games may be thriving, but it's also stimulating an undesirable side-effect: exploitation. A former detainee at a prison in Heilongjiang province, China, has told the Guardian about how he was habitually forced into playing MMOs likeWorld of Warcraft for the collection of loot, which the prison guards would then resell online for as much as ¥6,000 ($924) per day. Such totals would be the product of up to 300 inmates working 12-hour daily shifts, though predictably they saw none of the profits themselves. The unnamed source was at a "re-education through labor" camp where the usual toil would involve actual, rather than virtual, mining. The profitability of the online market has seemingly inspired prison bosses to move with the times, however, with business being so brisk that the computers "were never turned off." A Chinese government edict from 2009 is supposed to have introduced a requirement that online currencies only be traded by licensed entities, but it's believed that the practice of using prisoners in this fashion continues unabated.

Stop the Cloud, I Want to Get Off!

By Jason Cross, PCWorld    Apr 30, 2011 9:55 PM

Remember when the "cloud" was just called the "Internet?" This absurd fascination with naming online services after suspended atmospheric condensation is kind of driving me nuts. For around 14 years, millions of people have used Hotmail, but they didn't use a "cloud email solution." When we were all ripping our CDs a decade ago and looking up track information on the CDDB, we weren't using a "cloud music information service." Look, it's just the Internet, people. We don't need a new word to say that data is stored on a central server. I can't wait for the day when "cloud" joins the dustbin of overused and meaningless technology marketing words, along with push, virtual reality, and multimedia.

The Men Who Stole the World

A decade ago, four young men changed the way the world works. They did this not with laws or guns or money but with software: they had radical, disruptive ideas, which they turned into code, which they released on the Internet for free. These four men, not one of whom finished college, laid the foundations for much of the digital-media environment we currently inhabit. Then, for all intents and purposes, they vanished.

In 1999 a Northeastern University freshman named Shawn Fanning wrote Napster, thereby pioneering peer-to-peer file sharing and a new paradigm for consuming media without the intermediary of a big studio or retailer. TIME put him on its cover, as did FORTUNE. He was 19 years old. (See the 50 Best Inventions of 2010.)

That same year, a Norwegian teenager named Jon Lech Johansen, working with two other programmers whose identities are still unknown, wrote a program that could decrypt commercial DVDs, and he became internationally infamous as "DVD Jon." He was 15.

An Interview With WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange

Admire him or revile him, WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange is the prophet of a coming age of involuntary transparency, the leader of an organization devoted to divulging the world’s secrets using technology unimagined a generation ago. Over the last year his information insurgency has dumped 76,000 secret Afghan war documents and another trove of 392,000 files from the Iraq war into the public domain–the largest classified military security breaches in history. Sunday, WikiLeaks made the first of 250,000 classified U.S. State Department cables public, offering an unprecedented view of how America’s top diplomats view enemies and friends alike.

But, as Assange explained to me earlier this month, the Pentagon and State Department leaks are just the start.
