Qui possède quoi ?, MEDIAS IMAX Theater Opens in Lakeland Tomorrow! - Ylakeland Imagine watching your favorite movie, or the most recently released Hollywood film, on a 72 x 53 foot 3D compatible screen; and hearing the film with the most technologically advanced sound – making it feel like you are really there. All of these features are typical for an IMAX experience. However, few people in Lakeland are actually able to have this experience, or are forced to travel to Orlando or Tampa for it, since Polk County does not have an IMAX screen at any of our theaters. However, that all will change tomorrow. At the Cobb Theater at Lakeside village, an IMAX theater will be put in, for the entertainment and enjoyment of Lakeland residents. This basically means that one of the theater rooms will be converted into IMAX capability, with a screen that spans floor to ceiling and wall to wall. For the full story, be sure to check out what was written on the IMAX theater in the Lakeland Ledger .

Andart: Join the Cloud Join the Cloud I participated in the Cloud Intelligence Symposium at the "Human Nature" Ars Electronica Festival 2009. It was a very fun event that linked rather theoretical considerations by me, Stephen Downes, and Ethan Zuckerman with very real-world applications and activism by Isaac Mao, Hamid Tehrani, Xiao Qiang, Evgeny Morozov, Kristen Taylor, Teddy Ruge, Pablo Flores, Andrés Monroy-Hernández, and Juliana Rotich. Audio and video of our talks can be downloaded here. Presentations are appearing on Slideshare. Cloud Superintelligence My slides can be found here. A simple example is how Wikipedia page quality may develop. This works even if people have a noisy estimation of their own competence (or the page's quality): even if the noise is two standard deviations there will be almost one deviation improvement in quality after 100 visitors. Another reason why big groups are good is that they can maintain more knowledge and competence than small groups.
Christian Science Monitor Calls First Web-Only Year a Success A year after going to a Web-only format, the Christian Science Monitor is reporting increased Web traffic, unique users, page views and revenue for its weekly edition and daily E-newsletter. But, like most other outlets, online ad revenue is not as high as expected, prompting a buyout and a slight reduction in staff, including the shutdown of two news bureaus. "This was a pretty major change that we went through," says Editor John Yemma. "We made it through the transition, we are on budget and we are growing." The change occurred March 25, 2009, when the newspaper stopped its daily print edition and went to a free Web-only format . It later added a weekly print edition on April 12, Yemma recalls. A year after the change, Yemma said monthly unique users are up 64% to 5.3 million, with monthly page views up 87% to 14.5 million, as of March 2010. He also said the circulation for the paid weekly print edition is up from 43,000 at its launch to 77,000 today.
Les nouvelles séries sur Showtime 14 octobre 2007 · Séries · 11 Commentaires Showtime, c’est la petite chaîne qui monte aux Etats-Unis, mais beaucoup plus vite que M6 en son temps en France. Et en beaucoup plus excitant aussi. Pour ne parler que des créations les plus récentes, coup de projecteurs sur 4 d’entre-elle : Californication : c’est le grand retour de Duchovny dans une série près de 10 ans après la fin des X-Files. Dexter : la première saison a déjà été diffusée sur Canal, la deuxième vient de débuter aux US. The Tudors : attendue également sur Canal + (je vous avais prévenu), The Tudors est une fresque historique qui raconte la vie trépidente du jeune Henry VIII, roi d’Angleterre de 1509 à 1547 : marié 6 fois, il a fondé la religion anglicane histoire de divorcer aussi facilement qu’on coupe une tête. Weeds : Une mère de famille, dans une banlieue tranquille , se lance dans le trafic de Cannabis auprès de ses voisins histoire de subvenir aux besoins de sa famille après le décès de son mari.
Happy holidays from Google Chrome: free holiday Wi-Fi at 30,000 feet Not too long ago, flying home for the holidays meant disconnecting for several hours until you touched down at your destination. Today, Wi-Fi technologies allow us to stay connected even at 30,000 feet above the ground, so we can read the news, browse the web (to beat the long-haul boredom) and send that last-minute planning email before the family reunion. This holiday season, there will be more connected flyers than ever before. On the Chrome team, we’re big fans of innovations that make our lives on the web and in the browser better—and it all starts with more ubiquitous access to the Internet. We were excited by the response from last year’s free holiday Wi-Fi program, and thought that this would be a perfect holiday gift to help you stay connected to your loved ones as you head home.
Facebook and Bing Introduce Social Search - Technorati Blogging Facebook has found another use for the use of "like." Bing will integrate "like" data into their search engine database. When you use the search on Bing, your results will show the best recommendations along with likes suggested by your Facebooks friends. The search tool will launch on Wednesday. Now you can use Bing's profile search feature to find old friends or movies and other items liked on Facebook. Now instead of asking a friend what they thought of a movie or restaurant you'll be able to find the answer on Bing. One wonders how Google will respond if this catches on and more people start using Bing as a result.
