That’s right! Everybody else has done one, why not me!? Unlike all the other blogs you go to, this blogger is by far the best looking, smartest and healthiest around.

Iran Protestors Death Neda Soltan Shocks Video World
These videos are graphic, please watch with caution
On June 16 Charlie Fulton posted a very thought provoking blog. After discovering the new video of Iranian Protestor Neda Soltan’s death that is quickly reaching alarming views on Youtube I decided to give my thoughts on the same issue. Today we live in an age where technology rules, with the click of a button and audience awaits all of us and what we choose to show that audience. The idea that in a place where the media does not have access, the people are using social networks and privately shot video to bring the news to the media is a powerful example of how times have changed since the birth of Youtube & social networks. It is also alarming and at the same time refreshing to think that people are turning to themselves that there own abilities to bring each other into the know, rather than a tv with a rather one sided point of view. Here are a few more links and media outlets on the story:
OLED is coming!
Hopefully…
EngadgetHD is reporting that a new mass-production technique may push OLED technology into the hands of consumers sometime in the near future! Basically since the new means of production will scale down the cost of OLED development, the production expenses will be lowered and then so will the cost of all OLED products.
Research coming from Arizona State University’s Flexible Display Center and Universal Display managed to produce a pair of flexible OLED displays using the same process and techniques when creating LCD displays. The technology allows transistors which control the pixels to be applied to plastic. Even though normally glass is used for this process. By putting together the plastic & the glass, it’s then put through the LCD manufacturing process & pulled apart yet again revealing the picture to our left!
Cisco to buy Pure Digital
Pure Digital Technologies, or as many of you know them: the company that brought the Flip Video line of video cameras to the world. Is looking to sell the company to Cisco for the meek price of $500 million. Flip cameras - the perfect user friendly internet uploading YouTuber aimed small video camera, have become extremely popular over the past 7 years. Apparently racking up more than $200 million dollars worth for Pure Digital in the past two years with a little help from the recently released Flip Mino HD.
Pure Digital Technologies founder and CEO Jonathan Kaplan is rumored to have $80 million set aside to himself specifically from the sale. Quite the small chunk indeed… That was sarcasm.
Check out That Media Show
If you haven’t seen it yet, there’s a new weekly online show that focuses on the world of video production and post-production called That Media Show.
The show comes in fairly fragmented news bites, focusing on film, television shows, software and hardware. But it’s a handy way to get your video news for the week as a roll through of press releases, presented in an easy to consume info-tainment format. I know that doesn’t sound exactly flattering, but trust me, it works.
