Apparently not. You must not be a sports fan if you think it's a solved problem; there is live streaming of about 2 NFL games a week and a handful of English, French, and Italian soccer league matches. Everything else is pirate at best, or stupidly requires you to have a TV subscription anyway. Olympics and World Cup are each once every four years, streaming them is helpful but not really a full solution.
I read Isaacson's long-ago book The Wise Men (written with a coauthor) and found it masterful, engaging, and comprehensive.

One of Siracusa's main objections to the Jobs bio is that Isaacson does not understand technology enough to separate the important from the trivial.

Isaacson has faced this kind of problem begore. It seems from this review that he had advice from Brian Greene on his Einstein bio:

I wonder if Isaacson did not have enough help with the tech on the Jobs book?
Don't be so sure this started as a PR pitch...Cade has been covering Cloud Foundry and Appfog since they adopted Cloud Foundry, see all of his articles about it over at the Register, example: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/13/appfog_adds_ruby_and...

I like movie previews. Am I the only one?
I tried to play catch-up with all the drama yesterday (i.e. read through a number of articles/reports from the last few months). I only feel more confused about what the take-away from all of this is.

Didn't they receive ample compensation for their work? Why do they want to try and buy back TC? I understand that since their acquisition there has been a slew of disagreements but I fail to understand the mass of continuing drama.

Perhaps there is a good article I missed that sums it all up tidily? Basically, all I have learned from the mess is don't expect life to stay the same once you accept an offer from a mega-corp.
I think Netflix needs exclusive content to survive.
In my opinion, Sarah Lacy is one of the best writers who reported for TechCrunch. Wired-level. Very good research, engrossing details, captivating style.

One of my favorites: "Inside the DNA of the Facebook Mafia" (the last paragraph, the bang)

Unlike NPR (et al), Wikipedia could actually ask for donations and then not show the appeals for donations to people who have donated (e.g. by providing simple logins). Similarly, Wikipedia could show ads or not depending on whether someone paid a small fee. I wouldn't mind either.
The TV deals are still good enough that the leagues won't offer all of the games through their online platform.

The hope, I suppose, is that future TV deals will decrease to the point that the leagues realize that they can make more money by just distributing it all themselves. That's seems to be what they are setting up at least, but the short term they are making so much money off of TV licensing.

The NBA All-Star game has been shown online for the last few years and it's a better experience because you can choose from four cameras (one of which was following a single player, very cool). That part of the technology is awesome, but I suppose you'd have bandwidth problems at a large enough scale.

Agreed. The only reason to use torrents is to get your content delivered to the devices you want. It's hard to find a device that doesn't support Netflix. An offline Netflix option might be the only exception
No, you're not. I could do without the TV-like nonsense that runs in between shows, though - I can actually tolerate a blank screen.
One, in my case, that was delayed a few moments while I tried to grok why the second photo obviously wasn't taken in the same location as the first ... and then ... oh, it was.

The article mentions that the intrusions involved a security hole in PHPMyAdmin, so, likely neither (unless the attackers just got access to the database through PHPMyAdmin using the default admin password rather than a security hole).
I would be more tolerant if there were 2 listed times: (1) when the previews will begin; (2) when the movie will begin.
If you paste that funny clip you saw on MTV on your Facebook, MTV can shut down Facebook or sue you.

Video is an interesting case since much of it is explicitly embeddable; you can't encourage embedding and then call it copyright infringement.
So...I don't actually understand what you mean by "spent $20 on sending email to my opt-in list".

Do you mean this person owns a list and spent $20 somehow sending email to this list? How does this relate to the $180 bracelet?

I have a friend who is a cop, and on slow days they just browse through the facebook pages of suspects. People regularly publicly post pictures of themselves breaking laws. A paroled felon posted a picture of himself holding a rifle as his _profile picture_ (in the US it is illegal for any convicted felon to posses a firearm).

I think it's unfair to call out WebGL specifically when the same is theoretically possible in Flash 11's Stage3D and Silverlight 5's Direct3D.
I understand this, I mean that they don't know how many layers of misdirection are actually involved, you can provide n fake layers of encryption with trivially incriminating information, as long as the "free space" of the volume in question contains randomised data, they can never know if it is actually an encrypted volume one level deeper or not.
I just want to make sure I understand: you called the Congresswoman's office, the aide answered, you explained the situation to him, he realized it was important, and he agreed to let you talk to his boss?
Wonder what the reverse side looks like. Come to think of it it would be cool to slice the dice, to save weight and numbers.
I normally ignore Techcrunch, but I admit there is something satisfyingly “meta” about an organization that is devoted to dramatizing other people's private business dealings dramatizing its own private business dealings.

I don’t say this in a mean way. Perhaps people like Sarah Lacy are simply walking their own talk and living the kind of transparency they have forced other people to display.

I made an effort to specifically highlight that in the conclusion.
You're still obstinately missing the point in your nerd rage — letting other people run the same source code does nothing to replicate that part of the experiment — they need an independent implementation to do that! Releasing the source code publicly actively works against that goal because anyone who reads it won't be able to do a black-box implementation.

Besides, the code is almost always worthless compared to collected data. What would actually be most valuable and practicable is for groups to be running their proprietary code on each other's public data for confirmation.
This amounts to nothing more than suspicion. When we get to the point where their failure to find the incriminating evidence they were searching for is evidence of your guilt, we're by nature already at the point that that evidence was never required anyway, and we're just in a fascist dystopian reality.

Exercise to the reader to ascertain if this has already come to pass.

I try to always keep in mind that you can deal with any error except data loss. Any bug can be fixed but if data is gone there is absolutely nothing you can do.

With that in mind, I'm going to do a test restore from our backups right now!

Its not much harder to capture netflix than any other live show.

You can buy $100 capture cards and record live gaming. DRM isnt an issue since you dont even need to crack the source.
Fair enough, but that's not really a very good argument for its inherent security either.

There is a long history of problems with Flash. Silverlight has had vulnerabilities as well.

But those are 3rd party binary plugins. It's a lot easier to disable, uninstall, and move beyond 3rd party plugins than it is widely-adopted standards implemented by the browser vendors themselves.

It's because it is so appealing and has the potential to become quite popular that we're talking about it now.
This is great that Netflix is being bold. Netflix needs to be bold. The networks own the studios that produce all of the content and will continue to use that to keep Netflix under heel.

Arrested Development certainly has risk though. It's impossible to pick up where the show left off six years ago.

Hopefully if this succeeds Netflix will consider following up by reviving Better Off Ted. A similar, critically acclaimed, and more recent show with actors that seem generally available.

If that IS their biz model I personally would love it. I don't watch much TV, but what I do watch is usually in bulk via a 3rd party streaming service and a year or five late. If Netflix started bringing other titles that were cancelled too soon like Firefly, Deadwood, etc with the budget of HBO and the postsight of watching the net for sleeper hits that were cancelled, you can count me in.

The source article appears to have been modified to imply that it will not be exclusive to Netflix.

EDIT: Other sources seem to be indicating that it will indeed be exclusive.
A whole million huh? Sorry, I'm really not impressed. Why is this becoming about native versus html5. The article has kind of an anti-Apple subtext to it too. I don't know. There was just something off about the whole post.

Native and web both have pros and cons. Some site used html5 despite the app store trend. Big whoop. I hope people use both in the future and I hope web apps get faster and the app store reduces fees. It's kind of a non story like filler to keep a page on TC filled for a bit.
I didn't say anything about whether something _should be_ patented. I was commenting on the eligibility for patenting.
Shit, now that you've made that good point about their niche I'm starting to rink my first reaction to this. Maybe a million is pretty impressive after all.
It just needs to be non-predictable. Give the wrapper object and ALL his methods a random name for every session.
The networks already want to cut Netflix out. That is what caused the whole fiasco this summer. Netflix can't just behave and hope that the networks keep throwing them bones -- that's just not how business works. It's important that they take aggressive moves to counteract this. If copyright law were a bit more reasonable, maybe this wouldn't be necessary.

And I think the thread they're picking up with AD is perfect -- just imagine all of those long-lost fan favorites like Firefly, AD, and now Community getting picked up and streamed on Netflix in a climate where the show's creators are at least theoretically given freedom from network meddling (not to mention the much more realistic "ratings" that would be possible like this). I may even pay for that, and I almost never watch TV and generally hate it, but if Netflix cultivated all of the great content that the mainstream networks regularly threw away, they'd definitely have a much brighter outlook.

The problem I see potentially arising out of this is the conflict of interest for cable companies as online streaming continues to override cable TV viewership. With Netflix picking up shows that had initially been considered by premium cable networks like HBO or Showtime, how much interest will Comcast have in keeping pricing for internet access out of the ridiculous ranges and varied pacakges of cable television?
Hopefully they'll buck current trends and offer episodic content for $1 or so per episode to non-subscribers. Content available "exclusively" to subscribers is a customer-hostile model, as, e.g., Apple and Amazon seem to realize.
Here are 3 reasons for gTLDs that come to mind. (I'm late to the scene, and there are plenty of pioneers around who can provide a better answer):

1: Without some sort of naming convention websites would be a string of numbers. This was what the one we ended up with, and we are all used to it now.

2: The TLDs provide the first port of call for looking up a url. Thus the .com DNS server needs to know al the .coms, but that is it. the 2LD servers likewise have to deal in their area only. That's a lot easier than storing and refreshing the entire authorized internet DNS lookup at all points. (I'm getting out of my depth here, but there is some pretty clever stuff going on these days)

3: As you say the TLDs provide basic 'segregation' and while .net and .com use cases seem to have merged, .gov, .mil and beyond that country ccTLDs such as .uk, .nz and .au are all performing important roles for now and for a long time going forward.

Meanwhile there are 7 billion people, and goodness knows how many businesses in the world, and many of them have similar names. Different TLDs and 2LDs give them a chance to coexist.
Yahoo and other giant corporations are a bit different as they are truly global and need to buy up all domains, but most companies are not interested in every last TLD.

The money made from the gTLD and 2LDs goes towards supporting the DNS system, which is what makes the internet work, SOPA notwithstanding.

Perhaps there is no need for a standard for everyone. Take any student who wishes to enter into an industry, whether it is engineering, philosophy, aviation, or sports. Is there any value for him or her being rated by a standard that does not apply? Instead the student will try to achieve the accepted standard for the industry they enter.

How many years after high school will you or any employer care about your transcript? How about college? The experience you have in an industry quickly outweighs the number of years in college, at least in my industry (this may not be true when you need to go to specialized schooling, such as when you enter a medical profession, but I speak of general schooling).
