title: Review: Audio anecdotes: tools, tips and techniques for digital audio

authors: Whalley, Ian

subjects: music

abstract: Audio Anecdotes is the first in a series of three books covering creating, recording, processing, and analyzing sound and music, also touching on the opportunities presented by digital media and computing. This first book divides into eight chapters and twenty-five essays addressing measurement, perception, recording, synthesis, signal processing, computer techniques, computer tools, and human experience. Co-editor Ken Greenebaum notes that after being frustrated and disappointed with the lack of resources available to understand digital (and previously analog) media, his intention was “to create the book I wished for then and that I still want today” (p. xi). The editors note that “articles take a variety of forms: introductions, essays, in-depth technical explorations, presentations of tools and techniques, and post-mortem analysis” (p. xiv). With the variety of authors that have contributed, particularly those coming from beyond the academy and those drawing on personal experience, readers are encouraged to learn about the contributors’ backgrounds before reading each section.

title: Implications of China's latest statute on internet and the forthcoming real-name registration scheme

authors: Liao, Zhixiong (Leo)

abstract: A scheme called 'real name registration of information network users' is required to be implemented in China by the end of June 2014. Presumably this scheme is based on the NPC Standing Committee's latest legislation on internet titled Decisions on Strengthening the Protection of Network Information, which imposes on ISPs and ICPs not only obligations to protect online personal information and privacy but also the obligation to collect their clients' true identity information. The latest internet-related legislation and the forthcoming 'real-name registration' scheme raises the question whether the Chinese Government is changing its policy, law and/or the law enforcement regime on regulating the internet contents. Are they merely a disguised internet content control toughening, or something indicating a new trend of China's internet regulation, that is, paying more attention to the protection of online privacy? Does the new legislation add anything new to China's pre-existing legal framework and enforcement mechanism for internet content regulation? Is the Chinese Government sacrificing citizens' freedom of speech for privacy? What are the most possible implications of the latest internet-related statutory legislation and the forthcoming 'real-name registration' scheme? This paper draw its conclusions mainly based on in-depth analyses of China's pre-existing internet regulation regime and the new legislation.

title: Iwi, institutes, societies & community led initiatives

authors: Whaanga, Hēmi

abstract: With the rapid evolution, innovation and incredible growth of ICT, the avenues to exchange, access, manage, create, disseminate, display and research Indigenous data and Mātauranga Māori have increased at astounding rates. This generation, often referred to as ‘digital natives', ‘homo zappiëns’, ‘Net generation’, ‘millennials’, ‘i-generation’ (see, for example Akçayır, Dündar, & Akçayır, 2016; Kirschner & De Bruyckere, 2017; Prensky, 2001; Yong & Gates, 2014), have been raised, immersed and exposed to a myriad of digital technologies, video games, computers, digital music players and cellular phones during their brief lifetimes. Technologies have dramatically transformed how each generation access, communicate, share knowledge, distribute and view information. Social networks like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, Pinterest, Tumblr and social networking apps such as Messenger, WhatsApp, WeChat, QQ Chat, QZone, Viber, LINE, and Snapchat, with billons of active users per month, are as familiar to this generation as was the radio, television and landline telephones to the Baby Boomers who grew up with pre-cellphone mobile technology.
