Google WebRTC - browser based communications. The WebRTC API can be used to provide peer-to-peer communications directly between apps running in the browser. This could be the end of Live Messenger, Skype and the rest... The browser is the OS. Who can argue with this. Now Google thinks that we don't need anything more than a browser for real time communications as well. So throw away that chat client, sorry IM client, VoIP client, phone, video chat etc. As you probably guessed this is an HTML5 based technology and the idea is that it can be used without plugins or the need to download anything at all. From the developers point of view there is a JavaScript API to master and then you can get on and create any audio, video or text based communications apps you care to invent.
The idea is that its all open source and will become in time a W3C standard. What can you do with WebRTC? So should you rush out and start building apps? Not just yet.

By Nicole Kobie Posted on 7 Dec 2010 at 11:06 Piracy is so difficult to battle because file-sharers are motivated by altruism and not financial gain, according to one academic. Joe Cox, an economist at the Portsmouth Business School, believes file-sharers who post content online see themselves as the "Robin Hoods of the digital age," according to a study he's published in the journal Information Economics and Policy.
Such insight could help drive policy and find ways to prevent illegal downloads, he claims. We spoke to him to find out more. Q. Why did you decide to look at file-sharing? A. I was more interested in the behavioural motivations. I called them seeders – it’s a pretty standard term for people who make the material available – distinguishing them from leechers, who just take material from others but don’t give any back. Q. A. Their main motivation was that they were seeking notoriety, peer recognition, peer esteem, some sort of feeling of getting one over on the system. Q. A. Q. Jennifer Stoddart: making your privacy her business. Canada's fearless privacy cop is having an awkward public moment. It's not because I've asked Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart about government secrets gushing from the leaky pipe that is Wikileaks. Or creepy Internet stalkers who collect personal information from giant Web utilities such as Facebook or Google.
Or even because I stuck my nose into her private life. No, Ms. Stoddart is agitated because I'm fumbling through the flotsam of my purse in search of a misplaced credit card to pay for lunch at Play, the latest irreverent eatery from award-winning Ottawa restaurateur, Steve Beckta. Noooooo," she protests. Slapping a purple wallet the size of a small cabbage on the table, she yanks out a series of green and blue bills to pay for lunch, ignoring the receipt. "I must be like Caesar's wife," she says, glancing quickly behind herself at the fortress-like U.S. embassy that faces the restaurant, "above suspicion! " Her technology epiphany occurred in the early 2000s when Ms. The Top 50 Gawker Media Passwords - Digits. Why Broadband Prices Haven’t Decreased - Creating the first broadband consumer price index. After a new technology is introduced to the market, there is usually a predictable decrease in price as it becomes more common.
Laptops experienced precipitous price drops during the past decade. Digital cameras, personal computers, and computer chips all followed similar steep declines in price. Has the price of broadband Internet followed the same model? Shane Greenstein decided to look into it. Since there are no public data on what has happened to broadband prices over the last decade, Shane Greenstein, a professor of management and strategy at the Kellogg School of Management, and his co-author Ryan McDevitt, an assistant professor of economics and management at the University of Rochester and a graduate of Northwestern University, analyzed the contracts of 1,500 DSL and cable service providers from 2004 to 2009. Greenstein says many observers believe broadband prices have stagnated largely due to the concentrated market structure.
Table 1. Related: The Web Is Dead. Long Live the Internet | Magazine. Two decades after its birth, the World Wide Web is in decline, as simpler, sleeker services — think apps — are less about the searching and more about the getting. Chris Anderson explains how this new paradigm reflects the inevitable course of capitalism. And Michael Wolff explains why the new breed of media titan is forsaking the Web for more promising (and profitable) pastures. Who’s to Blame: Us As much as we love the open, unfettered Web, we’re abandoning it for simpler, sleeker services that just work. by Chris Anderson You wake up and check your email on your bedside iPad — that’s one app. During breakfast you browse Facebook, Twitter, and The New York Times — three more apps. You’ve spent the day on the Internet — but not on the Web. This is not a trivial distinction. A decade ago, the ascent of the Web browser as the center of the computing world appeared inevitable.
But there has always been an alternative path, one that saw the Web as a worthy tool but not the whole toolkit. Infidélité - Facebook, votre meilleur ennemi. E-commerce, Web 2.0 et e-tourisme.

Why Advertising Is Failing On The Internet.
Editor’s note: The following is a guest post by Eric Clemons, Professor of Operations and Information Management at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. In it, he argues that the Internet shatters all forms of advertising. “The problem is not the medium, the problem is the message, and the fact that it is not trusted, not wanted, and not needed,” he writes.
The views he expresses are his own, and we present them here to foster debate. (Obviously, we hope there is a place for advertising on the Internet since it pays our bills). Update This post has obviously touched a nerve. Clemons responds to his critics below at the bottom of the post. 1. The expected drop in internet advertising revenues this year was neither unpredictable nor unpredicted, nor was it caused solely by the general recession and the decline in retail sales. 2. The internet is the most liberating of all mass media developed to date. 3. Consumers do not trust advertising. 4. (Photo by nickyfern).
