Audio Interviews zum Tsunami im ZDF Weblog
Wolfgang Harrer interviewte Howard Rheingold über die Auswirkung der Tsunami Katastrophe auf den Blog Journalismus.
"Als Citizen-Journalism gelten Massenmedien, die nicht mehr von Journalisten, sondern von Privatpersonen produziert werden. Bisher erfolgreichstes Beispiel war die koreanische Website Ohmynews mit ihren rund rund 30 000 "Citizen Reporters". Die Tsunami-Katastrophe zeigte jetzt, dass das Prinzip des Citizen-Journalism auch in Notsituationen funktioniert."

Panasonic's latest digicams: The Lumix DMC-FZ5, DMC-FZ4, DMC-LZ2, DMC-LZ1, and DMC-LS1
Not to be out done by the likes of FujiFilm, Panasonic also announced a bunch of new cameras today:
The five megapixel DMC-FZ5 and four megapixel DMC-FZ4 — These are the latest additions to their line of prosumer FZ
cameras. Each sports a 12x optical zoom lens (made by Leica, no less), though only the FZ5 (which is pictured above)
gets its LCD bumped up to 1.8-inches.
The five megapixel DMC-LZ2 (pictured above) and four megapixel DMC-LZ1 — Two new compact cameras, each of which has a
6x optical zoom lens, a 2-inch LCD screen, and Panasonic’s Mega O.I.S. optical image stabilizer technology. They’re
also making a lot of noise about how rare it is to have a 6x optical zoom lens on a camera of this size, which is sorta
true. Runs on two AA batteries.
The four megapixel DMC-LS1 — An entry-level digital camera that has a 3x optical zoom lens, a 2-inch LCD, and
Panasonic’s Mega O.I.S. optical image stabilizer technology. Runs on two AA batteries.

Images of Ocean Floor Show Effects of Tsunami
Iphtashu Fitz writes "This week the UK's Royal Navy presented images taken by the survey ship HMS Scott of the damage to the floor of the Indian Ocean that triggered the tsunami two months ago. The Scott has a high-resolution multi-beam sonar that let it generate highly detailed images of the sea floor, some 200m to 5000m below sea level. An image showing the scale of the damage, and the full presentation made by the Commanding Officer of HMS Scott (38MB PowerPoint, die ich schon runtergeladen habe) are available. The presentation contains a number of images that have more detail than those available on the websites." [gefunden bei Slashdot ...] 10:18:57 PM trackback []

Audio Hijack Pro Podcast Q&A
Along with all your comments, Hugo Schotman emailed me a list of pocaster-related Audio Hijack Pro questions, which I figured I'd answer here for the benefit of everyone.
Where does latency occur? and What buffers are there in the application and how big are they
Depends what you are doing. If you are doing Mic Input to Headphone Output, the main latency is in the audio device input and output buffers. These were fixed sized buffers before, but we will be making them adjustable in Audio Hijack Pro v2.5 (they already are in LineIn 2).
If you are hijacking an application, any latency comes from the target application and how it buffers and uses CoreAudio. If you use Soundflower with Audio Hijack Pro, you'll run into another pair of input and outputs buffers. Soundflower varies it's buffer size based on the audio it's dealing with.
How can I get the least amount of latency from Mic input through some microphone effects to my headp [gefunden bei ...]

dot mac breaking podcasts
Something funky is going on with Apple's DotMac hosting infrastructure. Their new (?) system makes it impossible for some http clients to obtain the size of a file through a HEAD statement. This means that ipodders and other auto-download applications can't perform this task and therefore aren't auto-downloading. I'm presuming this is a change that was made in the past 7 days and somebody knows what changed and can enlighten us. All podcasts hosted through DotMac are experiencing this problem and if not fixed soon, will have to find alternative hosting solutions. Including me.Here's a header dump that shows the error:

Germany's 1960 sacrelicious cola ad
Cory Doctorow: This sacrelicious 1960 German TV ad for "Afri-Cola" was the subject of much controversy for its depictions of stoned nuns tripping on sugarwater.
LinkFollowing its TV broadcast, this commercial was the subject of great discussion: nuns lounge around in an afri-cola rush. It led to a boycott of the Bayerisch Rundfunk, and in a letter, Cardinal Frings mentions afri-cola in connection with the "denigration of the church".

How Google Maps works
Cory Doctorow: Joel Webber has blogged an excellent analysis of how the astonishing Google Maps service is accomplished. Great place to start if you're trying to figure out how to build stylish, cross-platform dynamic Web apps:
The top and side bars are (more or less) simply HTML. The center pane with the map, however, is a different beast. First, let's address the map itself. It is broken up into a grid of 128x128 images (basically like an old tile-based scrolling console game). The dragging code is nothing new, but the cool trick here is that each of these images is absolutely positioned -- and the 'infinite' scrolling effect is achieved by picking up tiles that are off-screen on one end and placing them down on the other end. The effect is kind of like laying track for a train by picking up track from behind it.Link (via JWZ)The push-pins and info-popups are a different matter. Simply placing them is no big trick; an absolutely-positioned transparent GIF does the trick nicely. The shadows, however, are a different matter. They are PNGs with 8-bit alpha channels. Personally, I didn't even realize you could depend upon the browser to render these correctly, but apparently (at least with IE6 and Mozilla), you can. And they actually render pretty quickly -- for proof, check out the overlaid route image (at the end of the article), which is often as big as the entire map view.

Close Call During ISS EVA
Spacewalk thruster incident alarms NASA, MSNBC"Behind closed doors, the origin of what one source called a "major close-call incident" and NASA's reaction to it are the subject of concern within the space agency and between the space station's U.S. and Russian partners."
Spacewalk on the wild side, MSNBC
"After a round of denials from Moscow, a U.S.-Russian investigation has confirmed that at least one of the international space station's astronauts roamed into a "keep-out zone" (or KOZ, in NASA-speak) during a spacewalk last month. In a worst-case scenario, the spacewalkers' Russian-made Orlan-M suits could have become contaminated with toxic fuel from the station's thrusters. The internal NASA memo confirms James Oberg's report for MSNBC.com that the mistake raised concerns at the U.S. space agency, even though the Russians said "nyet problema" at the time."
