Dissent Magazine 5 Fresh Places to Find Great Online Video The Digital Entertainment Series is supported by the Sony Ericsson Xperia™ X10, the seriously entertaining smartphone that knows how to have fun. Check it out here. Here at Mashable, we're big fans of web video, and we're not alone. People spend more and more time online watching (and many times, rewatching) video content, both user-generated and commercial. Even five years ago, during the early days of startups like YouTube and Blip.tv, sifting through content to find the best the web had to offer could be difficult. After all, with 24 hours of video uploaded every minute just to YouTube, there's a lot of content out there. In today's landscape, where we have not only a plethora of user-generated content, but also mounds of new and catalog content from commercial publishers, finding the best in online video can take a lot of time and effort. Fortunately, more and more sites and services are stepping up to help sift through the vast, expansive wasteland of online video. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

The Christian Science Monitor The Lie Factory It's a crisp fall day in western Virginia, a hundred miles from Washington, D.C., and a breeze is rustling the red and gold leaves of the Shenandoah hills. On the weather-beaten wood porch of a ramshackle 90-year-old farmhouse, at the end of a winding dirt-and-gravel road, Lt. Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski is perched on a plastic chair, wearing shorts, a purple sweatshirt, and muddy sneakers. So far, she says, no investigators have come knocking. Kwiatkowski, 43, a now-retired Air Force officer who served in the Pentagon's Near East and South Asia (NESA) unit in the year before the invasion of Iraq, observed how the Pentagon's Iraq war-planning unit manufactured scare stories about Iraq's weapons and ties to terrorists. Until now, the story of how the Bush administration produced its wildly exaggerated estimates of the threat posed by Iraq has never been revealed in full. Both Wolfowitz and Feith have deep roots in the neoconservative movement.

YouTube Topics: A Better Way to Explore Web Video? YouTube will begin testing a new feature Wednesday evening that gives users the ability to explore broad topics and search terms through suggested searches. YouTube Topics, which will be available in TestTube, is essentially a dynamic cloud of suggested topics to explore based on your searches. For example, if you look for "supersonic," YouTube will deliver a string of related topics at the top of the page. In the case of "supersonic," you might get "fighter jet" or "sonic boom." The feature appears as an "Explore" on every search engine results page, just below the search box and above the search results. It displays a list of approximately a half dozen related topics, most with a very faint background color. One other interesting feature of YouTube Topics is the "addition" button. Google cited "fighter jet" as an example of when you might want to use this feature. The problem YouTube is trying to solve is the issue of discovery.

Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) Weigel Dana Stevens and I just recorded a Spoiler Special for The Unknown Known, Erroll Morris' long-awaited, critic-confounding documentary about Donald Rumsfeld. Off the clock, I went to see Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the latest blockbuster in the Marvel movie universe, and the one most likely to incite anger on Fox News followed by anger-at-the-anger on The Daily Show. It wasn't planned this way, but the two films went together like a white wine and fish pairing. The Unknown Known comes to the screen with heavier expectations, of course, and an aura of Importance. Eleven years ago, as Americans began to turn on the postwar occupation of Iraq, Morris released the definitive interview with former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara. Donald Rumsfeld was not paying attention. But that's it. The Captain America sequel, naturally, makes its black hats and white hats more distinct. Plenty of critics have called this one of the best, or the best, of the Marvel films.

The New Israeli Left As the controversial 443 highway, which connects Tel Aviv with Jerusalem by passing through the West Bank, begins to curve toward Israel’s capital, the eye is inevitably drawn to an imposing gray structure with massive concrete walls, part of the Ofer Military Prison. Commuters are barely aware of what takes place behind those walls, and that’s no accident—the Ofer compound, comprising a military court, detention center and prison, is just one of many black holes that enable Israelis to go on with their daily lives, unaware of the everyday realities of the occupation. We Recommend The deteriorating ability to protest and the narrowing space for political activism against the Israeli occupation, Pollak says, have coincided with a growing space for racism and nationalism.
