What's more important, that Voices of Iraq has a low production quality or that it was made at all? I think the more compelling the content, the more likely people are to accept a lower quality of content. When you're trying to fill 30 minutes with news at 5,6, and 10, you have to have a high production value because quite frankly, the content is often such fluff.

Q. How much news would local stations produce if there was no time constraint?

I've never been a huge fan of Eminem. I don't know if it's talent, but he's definately got something that sets him apart from the rest of hiphop crowd. He's new video reminds me of Gorrilaz Clint Eastwood video. If Jamie Hewlett wasn't involved in this project, he should sue. This has Jamie's style written all over it.

QuickTime, Windows Media, and RealVideo are all avilable online. Interesting to note, the QuickTime version is currently #8 on Blogsnow. Windows Media, #22... Real, #27.

The iFilm version currently has 99,228 views. Sites don't make Blogdex without 250,000 views. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe 350,000 is more viewers than the original Crossfire interview probably had. (I can only find that CNN averages 757,000 viewers during prime time).

Update: From the time I posted this until the time I finished an email with similar content, 40,000 people viewed the iFilm version of the Crossfire interview. Every time I've checked BitTorrent, there have been more than 100 people sharing the file.

While developing an intranet for Quebecor in 1996, I was asked to make 7 year predictions as to what they'd need from a hardware perspective. I asked for a flying boat in year 7. Why? Why not? Commercial use web wasn't even that old. An academic project had Microsoft in panic mode, revising its business plans from the ground up. Who could predict the hardware needs of a revolution?

A few weeks ago, Information Week columnist Jon Udell pointed out that Apple was pretty close when they released their Knowledge Navigator video in 1988.
