„The actual candidate could do his bit as usual in the ad and then the database could be used in post production as a filter to alter the image of the candidate to make him or her more electable on grounds that may have little or even zero to do with qualities that make for a good president. Given that such filtering techniques are more likely than not to appear in a sophisticated form in commercial film and video editing software in a year or two, it strikes me that some attention should paid to producing legislation which would bar political campaigns and other media uses of direct social consequence from utilizing the technology, because essentially its use constitutes fraud.“

„Bluetooth standards integrated into devices of all types are going to change the way we think about online information and web access. Convergence technologies, such as Bluetooth enabled cell phones, are just now beginning to be sold in Canada (although the rest of the world seems to have had them for some time already). It is predicted that in less than 8 years more people will access the Internet via their cell phone than they will from a PC.“http://www.blogdriverswaltz.com/archive/ 2002_10.html - Cached
„One thing we might see in the future are real spaces, saturated with sensors and smart materials, that allow for new sorts of physical sports—the equivalent of the data caves that military and scientific researchers now use to project and interact with large bodies of information. A few companies are already producing playing fields that interact with players, or changes with the progress of the game. In Makoto Arena, for example, players use a staff to strike lighted targets on three towers.“http://Blogger.iftf.org/Future/ 2004_01.html#000302 - Cached

„A fascinating (and scary) summary and analysis from Salon's Jake Tapper of how the rethoric of politicians in the US shifted as the Iraq war drew closer. I say "fascinating" in how the media and the power of institutions is "managed" to adjust the public's reaction; in its end result it is, of course, worrying, if not really new. One conclusion: decentralized media (of which weblogs are the tip of the iceberg) will have to thrive to counterbalance these forces, since "big media" is out of the game of "objectivity" at this point.“http://www.dynamicobjects.com/d2r/archives/ 2003_06.html#002103 - Cached

„In other words, we are faced with a question: Will BAM use its expansion as an opportunity to further engage and support the kind of culture Fort Greene is well known for a racially integrated, funky avant-garde flava or is BAM striving for a more homogenized, euro-centric kind of sensibility, consumer taste and artistic expression?“http://www.hairyeyeball.net/jotbook/archives/ 2003_04.html - Cached
„Rob & Company are a class act and they put together a great show with an awesome picture and sound system. A terrific time was had by all and our film "SLEDGE" looked awesome on the big screen! I urge everyone in the indie film world to support the Coney Island Short Film Festival and their fabulous work.“http://www.indiefilmpage.com/praise.html - Cached
„You wanna be an encourager, not a boss, an encourager, a servant, a leader, a guider, someone who provides inspiration. And if you're successful at doing that, if you're successful at giving yourself to other people, if you're successful at forgetting yourself for a little while, you're gonna be able to do whatever you wanna do for the rest of your life. Now, this statement needs some repairs, doesn't it?“http://amway.robinlionheart.com/commen56.htm - Cached
