Western Digital network drives crippled
Western Digital network drives crippled -- no serving any multimedia files: "Gary sez, 'This is the most extreme example I've seen yet of tech companies crippling data devices in order to please Hollywood: Western Digital is disabling sharing of any avi, divx, mp3, mpeg, and many other files on its network connected devices; due to unverifiable media license authentication'. Just wondering -- who needs a 1 Terabyte network-connected hard drive that is prohibited from serving most media files? Perhaps somebody with 220 million pages of .txt files they need to share?'"
thx steve!!!

Are You Not Devo? You Are Mutato - Randall Roberts - The Essential Online Resource for Los Angeles
Are You Not Devo? You Are Mutato - Randall Roberts - The Essential Online Resource for Los Angeles: "The Mutato Muzika building in West Hollywood is painted Day-Glo green and looks like a tipped-over hamster wheel, with mirrored windows as rungs that make the building seem like it’s constantly spinning. Beneath the main-floor recording studio is a big, cluttered circular room. To enter you pass a threshold guarded by a Speed Racer rug, and beyond this threshold is a sight that would give the Klaxons or Datarock a conniption: Korgs and Rolands are scattered on the floor. An Optigon, a rare 1970s-era console organ that uses flimsy discs to play odd, ghostly sounds, sits in a corner. Shelves hold computer monitors, cassette decks and DAT machines; tubular bells are ready to be struck; an EMS polysynthesizer and an electrocomp synthesizer await electricity. An Ondioline keyboard that once belonged to Pink Floyd. Boxes are strewn throughout, but look closer and they’re filled with more memorabilia: a hand-written score for the film Drop Dead Gorgeous; busts of Chairman Mao and JFK. "

FAC51-Y3: The Hacienda
FAC51-Y3: The Hacienda: "Behold the latest shoe from one of my favorite brands Y-3 in collaboration with Legendary Manchester UK nightclub, The Hacienda. The shoe%u2019s awesome (read: dead sexy) design was a collaboration between Peter Saville (original Factory Records designer), Ben Kelly (architect who did The Hacienda%u2019s interior) and Joy Division/New Order Bass player, Peter Cook (not sure why he had this honor). Regardless, never before have I seen so many cooks in the kitchen deliver such a fantastic sneaker-specimen. The sneakers come in a custom six-sided, maple-bottomed box (naturally it%u2019s the same shape as the dance-floor as at The Hacienda). Then, the shoes inside are wrapped in four sheets of tissue paper, two feature Kevin Cummin%u2019s photography in the 80%u2019s, one will show designer Ben Kelly%u2019s original sketches for the clubs interior, and the final will show the current state of the club space. I kid you not%u2013 this is packaging detail at its best, absolutely gorgeous! Along with the incredible package and shoes, lucky buyers will also get a DVD documenting the whole club history and experience. The shoe is a short run at 250 pairs and will sell exclusively in the Y-3 Manchester store for two weeks before it goes into Selfridges in London and Y-3%u2019s flagship in Tokyo. The FAC51-Y3 will be 345 GBP, or just under $700 US."

Anthropomedia: SAG and Internet Video
Anthropomedia: SAG and Internet Video: "In the past, one of the hallmarks of professionally produced material has been the participation of Screen Actor's Guild (SAG) members. So what's SAG doing about made for Internet DV? I posed that question to myself today, and decided to ring SAG in Hollywood.
After negotiating the voice menu system and a pleasant operator, I reached another assistant type, who pleasantly took down my information and promised to relay my request for info to Mark Friedlander, who works in Contracts as a Signatory Rep for Internet/Interactive Productions. I was told Mark is one of two people working in this area at SAG. I guess the union is on the case.
Stay tuned to see what SAG has to say about Internet, or as they call it 'Interactive' video!"

The 463: Inside Tech Policy: Starving Actors to be Fed by YouTube?
The 463: Inside Tech Policy: Starving Actors to be Fed by YouTube? "On the eve of tomorrow morning's 9:30 am ET Congressional hearing on "The Future of Video", we raise a sleeper issue that promises to eventually have significant impact on online video business models.
It's about the talent. Yes, the actors who make those shows that still aren't reality-based possible are going to want a piece of the Internet video revenue pie, too. There has been noise from the Screen Actor Guild that they are well aware of where video is headed and when their next contract round is up, they plan to make their case well known. So much so that the Screen Actors Guild just created a new-media department. From the Hollywood Reporter:
SAG and other guilds have been ramping up operations dedicated to tracking and researching new-media issues. In the next round of film and TV contract talks, the guilds are expected to demand significant improvements in residuals paid for the re-use of member-created entertainment content distributed over the Internet and other new-media platforms.
"This is the dawn of a new era in entertainment," Friedlander (the SAG new media lead) said. "The developments in new-media formats give actors new opportunities, but it's important to make sure they are compensated fairly for their work, no matter what the format..."
Perhaps this will be raised by tomorrow's hearing witness Phil Rosenthal who is the Executive Producer of "Everybody Loves Raymond" and is also representing the Screen Actors Guild."

Friedlander set to guide SAG's new-media unit
Friedlander set to guide SAG's new-media unit "In an appointment underscoring the industry's increased focus on emerging media, SAG on Wednesday promoted contracts veteran Mark Friedlander to head the guild's newly formed new-media department.
As director of new media, Friedlander and his department's staff will work closely with SAG's new technologies, interactive contract and organizing committees. He will report to deputy national executive director Pamm Fair.
"Mark's expertise in new-media and interactive contracts, combined with his knowledge of emerging technologies and his legal background, make him the perfect choice for this new position," Fair said. "Our elected leaders and staff have made new media a top priority, and this new department, along with our research and economics department, will provide essential research, analysis and strategy to guide our long-term decisions and policies."

The department will help accomplish that, and I'm excited to lead this critical area for the Screen Actors Guild."
Friedlander joined SAG in 2005 as a business representative in the contracts department, specializing in theatrical, new-media and interactive projects. He previously worked as an entertainment attorney."
Its a bit weird when I threw parties I wanted in URB or Project X. Now I get in the Reporter! COOL!
