Study Finds That Apple Dominates Tech News

http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/27/study-finds-that-apple-dominates-tech-news/

A new study confirms what some in the technology industry have long sensed:Apple commands an inordinate amount of the media’s attention.
A yearlong look at technology news coverage by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism found that 15.1 percent of tech articles were primarily about Apple; 11.4 percent were about Google; and a meager 3 percent were about Microsoft.
It’s not as if Microsoft lacks for public relations people. But Apple is especially effective at seizing journalists’ attention, said Amy S. Mitchell, the deputy director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism, citing the anticipation for new devices and Apple’s “very public way of releasing products.”
Apple software powers only a tiny slice of the world’s computers, an area dominated by Microsoft. But its popular and innovative iPods and iPhones helped Apple exceed Microsoft’s market capitalization earlier this year…

What to you call out on set?

http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/archive/index.php/t-161594.html I think Roll Camera, Action and Cut are expected on most sets. I know when I work as a camera op they kinda let me know what I'm supposed to be doing. Keep rolling, Let's go again is another important one. Most of the folks I know who won't say those things are worried that people will think they take it too seriously, or are putting on an act. But they fail to realize that those words are used for a reason: They are very clear and work very well. Agreed. I follow standard protocols for the most part, though it's kind of odd if I don't happen to have a 1st A.D. for the project because I'm not used to yelling out all of the rest of the stuff, you know the roll sound, (sound speed back), roll camera (camera rolling), etc. Plus with music video shoots it's also different, more like roll cameras, cameras rolling, and then I say something like ok get ready or positions, then roll playback (3-5 seconds of beeps). There is no "action." The action starts when the song starts, it doesn't start when I say it starts, haha. That's only for the narrative elements we film for a music video...

'Our relationship was the greatest achievement of my life'

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2005/jun/10/gender.politicsphilosophyandsociety

'Our relationship was the greatest achievement of my life' But did Simone de Beauvoir's scandalous open 'marriage' to Sartre make her happy, asks Lisa Appignanesi

"What we have," he said early on to De Beauvoir, "is an essential love; but it is a good idea for us also to experience contingent love affairs." Recording Sartre's proposal, De Beauvoir writes: "We were two of a kind, and our relationship would endure as long as we did: but it could not make up entirely for the fleeting riches to be had from encounters with different people."

Lucy Walker - Devil's Playground

If Lucy Walker weren’t a filmmaker, she could have been a cop. She can make anyone talk, whether it’s the camera-shy Amish elders in her 2002 documentary, Devil’s Playground; idealistic mountaineers in 2006’s Blindsight squabbling over how to help blind Tibetan adolescents climb Mount Everest; the impoverished Brazilians who glean what can be salvaged from the country’s biggest dump in Waste Land (2009); or the amazingly chatty Russian truck driver caught smuggling weapons-grade uranium to terrorists in Walker’s most gripping documentary yet, this month’s Countdown to Zero. Walker jokingly calls herself “the queen of access,” but she’s dead serious about her new film, a vivid, heart-pounding wakeup call to an intensifying nuclear-arms race that makes the Cold War’s saber-rattling standoff seem almost cozy. (Sometimes it was: Her most shocking revelation details how in 1995 the hard-drinking Soviet premier Boris Yeltsin literally saved all of our lives.) Unlike the superpowers, terrorist groups want to get their hands on nuclear weapons for one reason only: to use them on the rest of us. Imagine 9/11 with nukes. “It’s the scariest stuff ever,” Walker says, “the most urgent threat we’re facing.”

Walker, a Londoner who took top honors at Oxford in English literature and language, started honing her craft when she won a Fulbright to study film at New York University. “A lot of my friends were snobby about documentaries,” she says wryly. “They thought they were Martin Scorsese.” But Walker learned how to make all kinds of films at NYU. “I felt I should master as many aspects of film as possible. That was my strategy for trying to get a leg up in this high-tech, massively maledominated profession.” It worked. She was nominated two years in a row for a Daytime Emmy for her directing work in her first job out of college (Nickelodeon’s animated series Blue’s Clues). Her first three documentaries have won major awards, and Countdown to Zero, already generating big buzz, is all but certain to get an Oscar nom. “I do want to make fiction films, too,” Walker says. She undoubtedly will, just as soon as she’s finished doing her bit to save the world.

Video games qualify for First Amendment protection. Like protected books, plays, and movies, they communicate ideas through familiar literary devices and features distinctive to the medium. And “the basic principles of freedom of speech … do not vary” with a new and different communication medium. Joseph Burstyn, Inc. v. Wilson , 343 U. S. 495 . The most basic principle—that government lacks the power to restrict expression because of its message, ideas, subject matter, or content, Ashcroft v. American Civil Liberties Union , 535 U. S. 564 —is subject to a few limited exceptions for historically unprotected speech, such as obscenity, incitement, and fighting words. But a legislature cannot create new categories of unprotected speech simply by weighing the value of a particular category against its social costs and then punishing it if it fails the test...
