Hans Rosling

Using technology in presentation generally is what you would think that catches the audience, but in Hans Rosling's presentation I believe what kept me interested was how he presented it. He was very up beat joking and very knowledgeable of his subject not once did he hesitate on his facts.
Granted how he created and used charts were amazing having a running graph is very impressive, but to also know how the graph will move makes the presentation explode.
Hans had many computers present so he was able to go from one statistic to the next without missing a beat his designs on his graphs were not all the same which help keep the boredom non existent.

Controversy on the new kindle 2

Does the Author Guild have a good case in saying the kindle2 violates audible copyrights, my guess is no if Amazon has audible and they are a huge part of the kindle2 I'm guessing they have rights to use audibles in the kindle2.
Now to talk about how amazing is the kindle2, its a great feature that could be used in schools for kids that have trouble reading. This device could act as an aide to students so they won't get behind on their reading assignments.
Maybe teachers could use it along with smart boards to read a class book so the whole class is on the same page when the story is done.
I know in my case I'm not big on reading so this device would be a great investment for me because I know as soon as I get into the book I won't want to stop it's the part of getting started.

Copyright and Fairtrade

two styles of recreation:

WOW this whole copyright act is highly confusing. My thoughts in the whole Shepard fairey and AP/ Garcia incident is Garcia took the picture he was working for Ap, does this mean Garcia had no say in the picture its all AP that doesn't seem right. I mean if it wasn't for Garcia AP would never of gotten that picture, yeah they would have had a picture of Oboma but not that same one. My idea of the fair trade was that as long as you change the look of the original copyright then you were safe, by far Fairey's picture has resemblance but doesn't look like the original.

The iphone craze

When one thinks of a phone they think the only use is to talk on it or text. Once again technology comes out with multi purpose items. Reminds me of the old infomercial it chops, it dices, and slices. The new iphone can make calls, you can text, record, download, and take amazing pictures, this little beauty will make you a photographer.
Realistically the only thing that makes the iphone handy is as soon as you take a picture you can upload it in a gallery, it doesn't mean you are a better photographer it only means that you have a camera on you at all times, meaning when ever there is a photo opp you always have your camera.
