Shortly after eleven o’clock on the night of May 1st, two MH-60 Black Hawk helicopters lifted off from Jalalabad Air Field, in eastern Afghanistan, and embarked on a covert mission into Pakistan to kill Osama bin Laden. Inside the aircraft were twenty-three Navy SEALs from Team Six, which is officially known as the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, or DEVGRU. A Pakistani-American translator, whom I will call Ahmed, and a dog named Cairo—a Belgian Malinois—were also aboard.
It was a moonless evening, and the helicopters’ pilots, wearing night-vision goggles, flew without lights over mountains that straddle the border with Pakistan. Radio communications were kept to a minimum, and an eerie calm settled inside the aircraft. Fifteen minutes later, the helicopters ducked into an alpine valley and slipped, undetected, into Pakistani airspace. The SEALs’ destination was a house in the small city of Abbottabad, which is about a hundred and twenty miles across the Pakistan border.
Fifth of gamers watching online TV. One fifth of consumers with access to a games console are using their devices to watch video content. The trend is one of a number of shifts in the marketplace reported by the regulator Ofcom in its annual Communications Market report. The 22% of gamers includes 11% that claimed to have downloaded/streamed from the web and 19% who have watched content through the BBC iPlayer. Four per cent used their consoles to watch live TV programmes/content; this rose to 7% among people aged 16-24. The rise of high speed internet access has also impacted on the amount of content that is being downloaded or streamed over the internet. Ofcom says 54% have watched TV shows and 63% movies. Personal Video Recorders are now available in 46% of homes and within these households time-shifting accounts for 14% of viewer hours – suggesting that watching ‘live’ linear television is still by far the more popular pastime.

" We most definitely live in interesting times. Leaving behind the strictly Anglo-Saxon media world, the news as entertainment, and turning towards places that are evolving quickly, telling stories dynamically, challenging us and growing at rates beyond belief, lie the realities of the rest of the world.
Their points of view are not our own. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, recently added, "We are in an information war, and we are losing that war. " Instead of fear, a chaotic economy in the West and upheavals elsewhere causing us to think nationally and turn inwards, now is actually the time to reach out towards other parts of the planet. Wouldn't it be absolutely awful that all that is left of this American decade is reality television? Why Content Isn’t King - Magazine. How Netflix became America’s biggest video service—much to the astonishment of media executives and investors Taylor Callery Netflix famously engenders fierce loyalty from its ever-growing customer base. This year, it even beat out reigning champion Apple, among 528 other brands, in Brand Keys’ annual survey of customer loyalty.
In more-rarefied circles, however, the company provokes equally intense but quite different emotional reactions. Among traditional-media executives and investors who like to bet on the fall of high-flying stocks, Netflix’s continual share-price appreciation and accelerating subscriber growth have sparked aggravation and even anger.
Netflix recently announced that with nearly 23 million U.S. users, it is now the largest video service in the country.
