CCA Vs Kaleidescape
If you are interesting the recent Kaleidescape ruling yesterday
(Kaleidescape Ruling) then i highly recommend this link as a worthwhile read http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/03/12/194218/ruling-prohibits-kaleidescape-from-selling-supporting-movie-servers as there are some ex RealDVD employees filling in some of the back story.
In light of the Kaleidescape ruling i'd really like to know how Rovi are getting away with their dvd "cloud lifting" service that was just announced at CES 2012 - http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2012/01/ces-rovi-digital-copy-dvd-cloud.html
BTW yes http://www.cloudification.net/ domain is still available for sale :)
Cheers,
Dean

IMDB review for "Drive"
lol haven't seen the movie but a friend of mine sent me this link and i had to share.
I've never seen a movie with so many wildly varying reviews
- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780504/reviews?start=20
Soo slow and boring! - Author: steph_jt - I have no idea how this movie has received such glowing reviews. Gosling appears to be heavily sedated throughout the movie, and the virtual lack of dialogue through the majority of the film just adds to the overall boring experience. Overall it's a movie about nothing with no message at all, and it ends by leaving you with no sense of closure or understanding of why you have been subjected to such a depressing experience. If there was any message at all, I would say it was that life sucks and then you die, or crime doesn't pay perhaps, but overall that's a little bit too Disney for my tastes, but perhaps this will appeal to the masses? Do yourself a favour, and spend your time watching something else, or at the very least take some Valium to get yourself in the correct frame of mind for this slow-paced, self-indulgent offering. No Stars.
Anyone seen it? what did you think? any thought on why it got an average of 8.0 but 90% of the reviews give it 3 or less stars (lol apart from the movie PR people paying for SEO inserts).

Ads Capture - "Slide to fit" works perfectly
Was just about to fill out yet another captcha when i saw something new...
Wow this is actually quite neat, by moving the slider icon from left or right you need to line up the picture. Although this was a default image from http://www.adscaptcha.com/ you could imagine it quite easy to have a product image in there that would be remembered....
If you check out this video on their website you'll see a phillips shaver being used as one of the early adopter advertisers. http://screencast.com/t/HdUyQNEwnRn3
Neat idea. (lol lets hope that Yale locks and Apple dont come after them for slide patents...)

Ninja blocks
This kickstarter project has already reached funding.- http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ninja/ninja-blocks-connect-your-world-with-the-web
No mention of ongoing costs for backend servers etc...
Looks great (albeit high price for general market) but built in the thousands costs should/could fall to 1/10th and be the beginning of something cool.
Just hope the founders have the money to run the back end servers for a while....(yeh I'm looking at you Peek).

AMD acquires SeaMicro
Wow that didnt take long - http://sites.amd.com/us/promo/stave/Pages/seamicro.aspx
Makes a lot of sense for AMD to "skin that cat another way".
Though you have to wonder even with some fast success can SeaMicro really be worth that kind of money eg Now that’s what you call an “ACQUIHIRE”…. “The small 80-person Silicon Valley server maker” = $4.1m per employee
