A call to one source

Granted a universal app for a product that would allow a user to use just that app without updating 3 or more apps so many times a year may echo the word "socialism", or "end of competition", or whatever else. Perhaps though, there are a few items, apps out there that could be developed into a universal state for universal usage. Apple and Microsoft may both hate this blog entry, but so be it.

Between the number of sites that offer video watching, audio listening, etc, it becomes clear that there are more than one program for audio and video. I find for web surfing, accessing audio and video online my favorite set ups are that of Youtube, Vimeo, NPR, WRS (World Radio Switzerland). The worst... I would say Parliament TV, and anything else that requires that you have an up to date version of Microsoft Silverlight, or Quicktime. I get that probably these programs are useful for certain features, but for the use of complete cloud access sites such as Parliament TV should go the way of Youtube, Vimeo, etc. A video format that allows one to access the information without first having to download Silverlight, or keep updating it.

In this case a universal feature would be ideal, a universal video feature, a universal audio feature, even a universal photo feature, though that is not as pressing. It just would be nice to access some of this stuff, like Parliament TV on my smartphone that doesn't have Silverlight programmed into it. I'm not advocating however that these programs give up in existence, they serve a purpose for some. I feel even that these companies should compete each year for a better version to replace the universal version, thus if Apple wins the 2012 competition of a universal version, their version is the universal version used on the internet through that year. No one needs to download or update since the video programs would be similar to that of Youtube. Companies compete and make better universal versions and a better cloud accessing video format and audio format is developed.

On to other things that need perhaps not to go universal..but needs to have it's borders removed. Sites that allow users to ask questions and others to answer are fairly decent sites. I can ask a question in Google and more likely someone has asked that question or a similar version of it. Yahoo Answers and Wiki.Answers seem to be the most prominent of these sites. Yahoo Answers is really the only reason why I ever go to Yahoo these days. Another question asking site, Quora, fairly decent. Google had an Answer site too, till they closed the new entries down. It would be ideal if there was a site out there, that umbrella'd all of these sites. That had a program of sorts that found similar questions and was able to route out the best answers, with the most adequate citations for sources. Instead of getting 20 of the same questions with hundreds of different answers, you got 1 question that is the best asked, with the best answered with the best citation. The site would sift from Yahoo, Google, Quora, Wiki, Ask.com, and others out there to analyze and interpret the best selections. The user could then look at the back log and see all the other questions similar to the finding with such answers. The user would rate the umbrella's sites findings so the company who owns the site could make tweaks as it grows.

Along with answers and questions comes the need for an umbrella site to look at reviews of movies, music, and books. That sucks in the reviews of Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Borders, Powell, Allmusic/movie/games/books series of sites, blogs, news sites, and published reviews in media outlets, etc etc. That would deliver the most up to date published product with all it's previous published editions as back log, and reviews from written, audio, and video. All so the user can have the best, more well round set of reviews out there available to him or her. To see, hear, read, listen...smell (?) all reviews from all sides.

I guess all this leads up to my conclusion. Hopefully in 2011 we get closer to a better analytical system that can umbrella the results so one can compare and contrast what is all on the web in that topic. Hopefully universal software for audio and video become more widely used all over the internet so one can access....Parliament TV while commuting via train using their smartphone. I look forward to the tech things that are to come in 2011,  I'm not a computer scientist, but I have a vision that I believe we all share in the internet usage world. Some organization, less need to go from one web page to another, less need to update programs constantly. I hope Chrome OS grows to what Google hopes for it, I hope Chrome OS will become available on smartphones. I hope Chrome OS becomes available on laptops over netbooks with the ability to rip a CD or DVD in the cd-rom drive and have the ripped files go directly to the users cloud just as it goes to a user's hard drive, but instead to...the cloud.  Less updates, and less need to have 2 or more video and audio programs loaded onto my laptop. Have a good new years interwebs.

A few ideas I feel like sharing to Google

Typically when I get an idea to share with Google, I go to Google's front page, and go to the link that says "About Google", from there I go to Contact Us , and to Business Proposals. I fill out the form accordingly, however along with sharing these ideas in the traditional method I thought it would be interesting to post them in my blog as well.

The first idea is that of syncing. Chrome is great with this, you can sync all your bookmarks, apps, etc by signing onto your account onto another computer, and unsync them by signing out. Cool. But one thing that I've noticed lately is from my Android phone, I can't sync the bookmarks on my phone, along with the browser history. It would be sweet, cool, ideal if the user could eventually sync their bookmarks and history from the phone to their google account to Chrome. With that said, sync Chrome bookmarks, web browsing history to the phone. This is kind of done so far with the history, but not so much with the bookmarks.

Ideally along with the two way syncing, one would be able to sync their Chrome extensions, and Apps to their phone. While being able to sync their Android Apps to Chrome. Thus I would be able to use an app from Android market from my phone, through my Chrome browser on my laptop. I would also be able to go to the Chrome App page, and click on an app that I have for Chrome while on my phone. This would be sweet!

Second idea. Google, I give you the power of this idea, because I know you can do it. If not...screw it lets get someone else to do it. 1 website account that connects all websites that require accounts (Yahoo, Paypal, Ebay, Google, Amazon, Facebook, AIM, Home Depot, Best Buy, Youtube, Myspace, Last.FM, Twitter, Photobucket, NPR, NYTIMEs, etc) Not to get all information in one spot, no...that would fall victim to the selfish "ME" wars. But a site that connects the accounts to one site so you can change the password of all accounts from this site, without having to go to all of them. I go to the site, enter it, connect it to the sites I have accounts with. Update my information, my information is updated on all, all in sync, including passwords.

Third idea, which isn't my own, so I should just say..third request. To add onto the topic of a possible Chrome OS for smartphones. A smartphone with Chrome OS, it would compete with Android probably, but eh, you know you want to! Other than those, there are more ideas, but they are sort of off topic from these previous ones. I may share them sometime soon, but I want to let them develop into a clearer topic.

Chrome OS, and my new toy, the netbook

So earlier this week I received an email from Google Chrome OS..department (?) telling me that I am eligible for a Chrome netbook and to fill out a survey. I filled the survey out and really did not expect to receive the laptop at all, I figured this was a lottery picking of sorts. Who the hell wins the lottery?

Well on Friday Thursday I received the netbook with a bit of surprise. I've been playing with it since I got it out of the package. I'm not a huge IT guy, but I can say so far its running pretty well. The videos from other sites than youtube can get a bit shotty, but so far nothing really big is standing out. I plan on trying to watch some Stronge Bad and visit a few other heavy flashed sites to see if this baby can handle it.

Before ending this post, I can't go without thanking Google for sending one of the netbooks to me, super rad, thank you. I'll "kick the tires" the best I can. While on winterbreak I will work on blogging and using documents, creating powerpoints to try to use such utilities to the fullest to see what works and what doesn't.

Till next time, blogya later.

Justttaaa testing this whole web-social-extension thing out:

Now this would be SWEET! Discovery Channel :: Extreme Engineering: Transatlantic Tunnel

So as you'll see...

As I stated earlier on, I would be making this blog kind of about "whatever", I'm working on connecting various aspects to web tools to this blog: Google Chrome extensions "blog this!", to, Huffington Post article comments, posting the comments on this blog as well.

It's going to become a mix array of comments, random sites & articles I find on the web, and at the same time a few comprehensive blog entries such as you may notice below in regards to Media and Alcohol Policy. As I play with all of these tools, and the blog formulates into something of it's own, I hope to take advantage of Adsense, Adwords, and Facebook ads just to really test out the whole interweb advertisement arena. 

It shall be fun, look forward to more randomness!

Drunkenly Barfing On Gifford Pinchot's Grave: A call for Alcohol Policy Reform in the state of Pennsylvania

        “Mmm”, I said to myself, “perhaps I’ll relax tonight with a six pack of beer”, my plans for the night was made after a long week of rain, lots of homework, and dealing with an unusual high amount of traffic throughout the week. With the plan set in motion, I made my way to the beer store, well, the beer distributor. As I pulled into the parking lot, I soon remembered “oh..you can only by a 24 case of beer in this state, ok I’ll go to the bar.” So I turned around and left the parking lot to make my way down the next street to go to a bar that I know sells six packs. Silly of me to think that they would sell anything good, “Miller lite is the only beer you can get to go here” I was told. “Sigh”, in reply, I made my way over to the next bar, which had a carry out area with “more” selections, however, in the year 2010, in a Toll Brother’s built suburbia..the carry out area did not accept credit or debit. Really? Considering the fact that I do not use cash all that often, this alienated me as a possible customer. I went onto another bar that over charged for their beers, by this point of the night I figured the hell with it, maybe I’ll have a bottle of wine instead of a six pack of decent quality beer that apparently does not exist in suburban bars. I swung by the Wine & Spirits to only be reminded that everything that is sold under the Wine & Spirits monopoly is $10-20 extra in cost versus the price that they are sold across state lines (but wait, transporting alcohol across state lines is illegal!) By this point I gave up, I was not willing to purchase a case of beer as I don’t drink that often, and by purchasing a case I would feel compelled to finish it over the weekend. The first bar would only sell Miller lite, a joke for a beer snob like myself, the second bar only accepted cash, a joke for a 2010 customer, and the third bar sold a Gulden Draak at $15 a bottle, a joke because across the river I could buy the beer (and drink at a friends over there) for $4 a bottle. The same with wine, the wine was over priced for what I could get in New Jersey. The mission of Governor Gifford Pinchot to “discourage the purchase of alcoholic beverages by making it as inconvenient and expensive as possible” (A) was successful this evening. A point won by Pinchot’s ghost, yet a point lost not just on myself, but a point lost on Pennsylvania’s economy. In an age when states across the United States of America are facing budget shortfalls, thus having to roll back spending and find new forms of revenue. The “full privatization of Pennsylvania's wholesale and retail liquor structure could return $1.7 billion to state coffers in one-time sell-off payments.” (B) If this is true, it would be a wise choice by Pennsylvania to privatize the state’s monopoly on alcohol sales.

         “Pennsylvania has been criticized as having one of the most outdated and arcane state run alcohol sales regimes” (C), read a veto that Governor Ed Rendell gave for Bill 81 that would essentially make the states alcohol laws even more restrictive . It is shocking that a bill that is met to make an archaic regime even more strict made its way to the Governor’s desk. At least for the sake of Pennsylvanians, the Governor had the common sense to reject this bill. Despite the horror of this bill, another bill introduced by State Senator Rafferty, SB 1300, is met to liberalize the sale of beer, allowing convenient and grocery stores to sell six packs of beer. There is much fan fare behind this bill, however, with any bill in either the State or the Federal government, there is always a special interest group that may be effected by the outcome of the bill’s possible passage. In Pennsylvania this special interest group is the MDMAPA (Malt Beverage Distributors Association of Pennsylvania).

        The MDMAPA (we will call them MDMA from now on in this blog) much rather see the liberalization of six packs to only be sold by the distributor. However this is a “step” forward, it’s still not exactly where Pennsylvania needs to go with it’s alcohol policies. While MDMA is worried about competition, through competition the price of alcohol would go down which is good for the consumers pocket. MDMA likes to point out however that the competition may kill smaller breweries, thus costing Pennsylvanian more in the long run. This claim is just an effort to take a stance of any unfavorable liberalization of the alcohol policy in order for the MDMA to keep their monopoly over beer. If one was to look at states such as Oregon, and Vermont, one can easily walk into a grocery store or convenient store and find a number of locally brewed beers that one has never heard of. Also, if the distributors are worried about the sales of microbrews going flat, one needs to look at who is buying this microbrews in the first place. It’s not the Miller lite guy, its the guy that actually enjoys a real beer. So if the guy who enjoys real beer can’t find any good selections else where, he will go some place else that has such a selection. From this, distributors can become appealing to the beer snobs by carrying a number of specialized imports from around the world and microbrews from across the states. Ideally with the ability to sell in six packs as well.

        “Among states with retail operations, Pennsylvania probably has a lower return to the general fund because it loses business to neighboring states…State liquor taxes drive prices to the point that customers living near the borders buy their booze in those states” (D) By going across the border, people are taking their money else where. Granted, Pennsylvania is trying to make it more convenient for shoppers to purchase alcohol in the state. With beer distributors and bars in the same shopping plazas as grocery stores, Wine & Spirits shops that connect to grocery stores such as McCafferties in Yardley, Pennsylvania, and with the introduction to a Kiosk system that has been described by some as the Red Box for wines. The kiosk system has been getting much fanfare and hype to those who are non-snobbish about what they drink. However like a Red Box DVD rental vending machine, the selections are at best, laughable. They are the populists choice, “Avatar” for a DVD, “Yellowtail” for a wine. Both of which in my personal opinion are equivalent to nothing more then a toad’s vomit. The selections are sanctioned by the room in which this machines can hold. Perhaps a good choice for someone who doesn’t care what kind of wine they drink, or movie they watch. The Kiosk system however is a radical move, and while it brings convenience to the general shopper, it does not answer the demands from some one who looks for Quality - over Quantity. It’s just another attempt by the PCBL to fend off demands to sell off it’s monopoly and privatize the industry.

        In states such as Oregon, you can have wine shipped to your house. Just as Red Box DVDs are soon to probably go out of style as Itunes, Netflix, Verizon/Comcast On Demand makes it easier to watch straight from home, the Kiosks will last for a bit but not for long. They are okay for the shopper who is not too picky about their brand, or are looking for a cheap cooking wine. However the hassle of having to be breathalyzed and the possibilities that the breathalyzer picks up mouthwash, or Listerine mouth strips as a part of alcoholic readings, could prove to be disastrous. It’s too unbearable to deal with a Red Box, or a wine kiosk, ideally in the near future we can allow wines to be purchased and shipped through Fedex or UPS with the requirement of matching name and person receiving the package with an ID, that proves the person is over 21.

        If the Tea Party activist are for less government interference in one’s personal life, and are anti-socialist tendencies, an issue such as liberalizing and privatizing the sale of alcohol should become a primary campaign issue in the near future. Despite the understanding that certain special interest (who are well mobilized) are against such changes in the law, we must over come the opposition of the well mobilized, which represents the interest of only themselves and their associates and not the populous in the state. We must look at the need to sell off this monopoly, bring in the revenue from the sale back into the state to help the general budget and it’s current short falls. Mean while, even after the sale of such a socialistic monopoly, we maintain the taxes that are paid on the product thus keeping revenue from the product flowing into the state’s budget. Just as the F-22 provided jobs throughout the country, and the districts involved were staunchly against axing such a program, the program itself was inefficient, and eventually had bipartisan support to ax it despite the amount of special interest opposition. A line can be drawn from the F-22 project to the monopoly that the state of Pennsylvania holds over its alcohol sales. The monopoly is costly and burdensome to the tax payers of Pennsylvania. If we really want to talk seriously about cutting costs and raising revenue in the state of Pennsylvania, axing the monopoly should be the first place that we look to - not pensions, - closing down state parks, and not cutting the states funding to universities and community colleges.

       This blog entry may seem like a declaration of sorts, but it’s not. I am merely adding to the growing voices in the blogosphere, online media world voicing their support to end the state of Pennsylvania’s monopoly. One of the leading efforts of this call is Lew Bryson’s blog, his facebook group can be found here. In the process please invite all your friends, and your friends - friends, etc etc to both these groups in effort to raise awareness on the issue, need and challenges of changing the way alcohol is sold in Pennsylvania. Keep up the good work Lew Bryson, and lets try to get more and more people to write blog entries in support for alcohol policy reform/privatization.

Amusing video I made using Google video search program on youtube:

Open Letter to the American media:

Looking at info on the decline of newspaper sales, the rise in piracy of ebooks, and continued growth in piracy amongst other media formats. The interest groups have it all wrong, you don't charge for the media created, but instead you charge for the creators. Let's go into it for a bit. As a creator of content, you work your way up from small jobs such obituary writer and intern work to staff writer, to perhaps columnist or editor. One works there way up the latter from job to job. So the content that is created should be free to the public, but how does say...a newspaper make money off of the content this person creates? One way could and should is through contracts, and allowing the sale of contracts to other papers, typically larger in size.

For example a writer working at Portland Mercury, writing X amount of articles forms a set of skills that makes him or her desirable for a bigger paper such as the Oregonian. An Oregonian writer does the same and is now desired for a bigger paper such as the San Francisco Chronicle, who is looking to replace a writer who recently went with the Los Angeles Times, who replaced a writer who went to work for the New York Times, replacing a writer who was hired by the Daily Show. The system interconnects to the bigger media outlets. The writers and other media workers are contracted and a bigger company buys a contract out for X amount of dollars, which goes to replace the profit from the product created to the profit gain by selling the creators contract to a company bigger in size that can afford the purchase of the the contract. Companies would also be able to decide to rent the creator out to the bigger company, instead of selling thus receiving the profits from renting and still maintaining that talent in the company. This can flow with models, actors, musicians etc.

The creator is simply the person who creates a product for the media. A contract could exist for a certain level of a creators. The contracts as stated are sold like a product to a bigger company that can afford them, and the profits from the sale are used to run and grow the smaller company. While the creator who goes onto a new company works to make a name for him or herself there, eventually either being attracted, or attracting another company. There is a moral issue here, what about the creator? The creator simply can not be seen just as an object to be sold or even traded. But we already live in a world of contracts, a person could have a say in whether they prefer not to go with the bigger company, but at the cost of the smaller company. So in a rosey world, the smaller company then is stuck with this creator, until they decide to apply at another company in order to make more money, new responsibilities, etc etc, all the reasons why one applies for a new job. But the smaller company could essentially hold the creator back in vengeance for not going with another company, thus costing the company a sale. However it wouldn’t be in the company’s interest to hold the creator down because that would be a loss in revenue as well. They would continue to polish the creator, making him more appealing for bigger companies to buy, or offer rent. Eventually the smaller company can no longer provide a higher pay to the creator, or better benefits, because of company size. So the creator then may feel the need to move on to pursue a better position else where at a larger company. This wouldn’t be the case with every creator, and each creator, being that of a person, will have a different story, which is too much to theorize in this blog post.

As the creator moves on to bigger companies, they rise through the ranks. A number of them reach the level of popularity that makes them celebrities, and are in demand for groups such as non profits and big lobbies to be a spokesperson. Even rising to prominence to be in demand for political campaigns. Their contracts are rented or sold to companies that have a demand for such people. Others may not become such celebrities, but are content with holding a staff writing job at a newspaper like New York Times, New York Post, they are happy being where they are at. Nothing changes, just contracts become the commodity that is bought and sold that works to cover the cost of providing media content to the public. People rise to prestigious roles, others prefer to take the back seat. Larger companies have more money than smaller companies, so in theory they can pay more for contracts from smaller companies. The larger companies such as Fox create ad revenue that can be used for such purchases of contracts. The creators they get, some can eventually be sold to groups that have more money, and are willing to pay for the contract at a higher price than Fox paid for. Such companies would be various corporations such as Exxon, or Haliburton,whom have the money to spend to get a well groomed reporter, or anchor for a public relations, or spokesperson, or adviser etc. The creator’s contract than can be bought by the next level, that of political campaigns, or even back into the publishing industry for a higher position, or whatever reason would exist that companies, organizations would want to buy the contract.

Renting as said before can be an option too, and companies that own the contract can make extra profits by having the creators, visit on competing networks, or appear in movies by other companies, or write for such projects for other companies. The renting of the contract provides extra funds to the parent company holding the contract, and allows them to maintain their talent while grooming it in other media jobs.

The profits from these contracts would cover the consumer cost, and would benefit companies from small to large. I’m writing this, not as a manifesto, but as an idea to share to groups such as the Newspaper Association of America, Recording Industry Association of America, Motion Picture Association of America, etc. The idea can certainly be analyzed deeper, and I hope a few professionals in business practice, economics, sociology, political science and other fields consider studying this idea of “contracts” and “creators”. As for now, as for every product that is digitalized, there is an illegal copy out there. Even for products that are not legitimately digitalized, they can still make there way to the illegal file sharing world (not just online but offline too.) Something needs to change, we are a capitalist society, and what is “cheaper” wins over the consumer. How to make money off this industry is no longer about selling it as a product to consumers, or giving it for free to a consumer with ads (that the consumer ignores.) The industry of media needs to look beyond charging singular fees and membership fees for digitalized media, as this is easily accessible for free (yes illegally but the fact that it’s illegal doesn't seem to be deterring the download/sharing numbers). So contracts on “creators”, that can be rented out, or sold to companies wishing to use the person they’ve found at a small company, can then off set the costs that companies bear in order to provide the media. As a “creator” gets more known, and becomes more in demand, a larger company that can afford to purchase the contract of this person would follow suit in order to get such talent under their roofs.

The way profit is made by the providers in the media needs to change in order to make the media that is created to be legally free to the consumers. If ignored, illegal file sharing will probably continue, online and off. It’s the era we live in, not just the information age, but a hyper-information age that consists of a wide range of knowledge which is so widely available, and so easily accessible ,both legal and illegally. This change needs to happen for it to be legal, and for companies to still be able to make profits thus being able to provide products to the consumers. The way in which media, information is so widely available with such ease, is really a beautiful thing.

IntroME

It’s been some time that since I last compiled a blog, the last one being through wordpress, where I operated multiple blogs. This new blog, through Blogger, is more about central, non-themed topics. A lot of the previous blogs were focused on either advocating for a community project of some sort, or some other activist type project, another was mainly focused on politics, but let’s face it, as a non-full time blogger, it’s pretty hard to really run a political blog considering how much comes out in a day, and how many other political blogs that are out there. So this blog, this new blog, what is the prime focus? Nothing, just random stuff I feel like typing about.

My history of blogging I guess goes back to the early decade of the aughts, naughts, whatever you want to call the past decade. First through AOL’s wonderful webpage feature (actually this was back in the late 90s !) then onto an angelfire web page that I ran with rants and stuff about eh, nonsense really. Then onto Livejournal…which may still be online some where, and then myspace debuted. As myspace became too iconic with the teeny-bop age, I moved onto wordpress. From wordpress now onto Blogger. The reason for blogger is to attempt to run a blog with all the other features that google has to offer, and to test out the blog with twitter and other social media tools. It’s mostly an experiment, but while I test out these features I will do my best to make this blog interesting. It’s not going to be a Sullivan quality blog, and may at times seem weird, and may often at times have not be updated for a month or two at times.

So that’s that for the first blog entry, don’t expect anything too brilliant, but then again, for things that were never met to be brilliant, some of the most brilliant things were born from. Until next time, blogya later.
