ABC News: Will a 'Cyberarmy' Stop Violent Videos?

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:51:51 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Now Aftab is taking action, forming a "cyberarmy" that will monitor the Internet, find these videos and notify the sites to have the offensive content removed.

"If we can find these videos and the sites take them down, that'll make a big difference. But if I can get [the sites] to stop posting them in the beginning, so that it will keep kids from being famous even for the five minutes that they're up, I can make a big difference here. So I'm going to be looking to the industry to help and be responsible. I know they care about this issue very much and I expect them to help us do something about it."

Parry Aftab of WiredSafety.org to the rescue! I love the idea of an army of volunteers patrolling the web looking for this garbage. Go, Parry! posted by kjarrett

The Coming of the Holodeck - Bits - Technology - New York Times Blog

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

The camera can translate human hand motion or body motion into the movements of a virtual character inside Second Life. The demonstration works by placing the camera near the computer screen and pointing it at the human navigator. It is possible to move forward by leaning forward and move backwards by leaning back. It is also possible to jump and even fly around in cyberspace with the correct hand gestures.
