Data De-Dupe University: Five Important Considerations for Evaluating Disk-based Backup Solutions with Data De-Duplication October 9, 2007

Many vendors have jumped on the data deduplication band-wagon because dealing with rapid data growth is a fact of life for IT departments. Organizations of all sizes are facing the dilemma of how to backup increasing amounts of data while reducing their reliance on traditional tape-based systems. Now that disk-based backup with data deduplication technology makes disk-based solutions about the same price as tape, there is even more interest and vendor hype. With all the noise how do you ensure that the disk-based backup system you choose grows easily as your data grows? The scalability of the disk-based backup system and its core architectural underpinnings must be carefully considered.

Adobe announced the availability of its long-awaited media player at Adobe MAX 2007 in Chicago. By Tim Siglin October 1, 2007

In Chicago, Monday, two important events took place. A rally to spur the Cubs on in their quest for the pennant took place at Daley Plaza at noon. A few hours before that, though, at Adobe MAX 2007 in the McCormick Place convention center, the company announced availability of the first beta of its long-awaited desktop video player--the Adobe Media Player.

During a presentation at MAX, Adobe's worldwide users group meeting, the company showed off the media player, called AMP, and noted that it's immediately available in pre-release form at labs.adobe.com. This version does not, according to AMP product manager Deeje Cooley, include the underlying technology from the upcoming "Moviestar" Flash player. AMP will play traditional Flash video files,"

Get Internet TV through Windows Media Center

US users can now access over 100 hours of television content through Microsoft's new service, Internet TV. Lunched as a direct competitor to services like Joost, where users can watch online content for free on their PC, Internet TV aims to bring the service into the living room. Internet TV is available to US customers through Windows Update, and is listed as a service in Windows Media Center. This means that users will be able to stream the on-demand content to their TV using a media extender such as the Xbox 360, giving Internet TV an advantage over Joost. So far Microsoft has secured music concerts, movie trailers and full episodes of the excellent US series 'Arrested Development.' High-definition content will also be a prominent feature of the new service.

The beta is available for download now, but unfortunately for the non-US world, there is no word on international release.

Tiny Tin Whiskers Endanger Electronics By JORDAN ROBERTSON, Fri Oct 5, 1:20 PM ET

SAN JOSE, Calif. - They've ruined missiles, silenced communications satellites and forced nuclear power plants to shut down. Pacemakers, consumer gadgets and even a critical part of a space shuttle have fallen victim.

The culprits? Tiny splinters - whiskers, they're called - that sprout without warning from tin solder and finishes deep inside electronics. By some estimates, the resulting short-circuits have leveled as much as $10 billion in damage since they were first noticed in the 1940s.

Now some electronics makers worry the destruction will be more widespread, and the dollar amounts more draining, as the European Union and governments around the world enact laws to eliminate the best-known defense - lead - from electronic devices.

    Vinyl May Be Final Nail in CD’s Coffin

    As counterintuitive as it may seem in this age of iPods and digital downloads, vinyl—the favorite physical format of indie music collectors and audiophiles—is poised to re-enter the mainstream, or at least become a major tributary.

    Talk to almost anyone in the music business’ vital indie and DJ scenes and you’ll encounter a uniformly optimistic picture of the vinyl market.

    “I’m hearing from labels and distributors that vinyl is way up,” said Ian Connelly, client relations manager of independent distributor alliance IODA, in an e-mail interview. “And not just the boutique, limited-edition colored vinyl that Jesu/Isis-style fans are hot for right now.”

    OpenSocial opens new can of worms

    When Google announced that its new social-networking initiative would extend to any site that wanted to participate, the land grab for the social Web’s attention just got a whole lot more intense.

    In a move that was anticipated for weeks, Google has unveiled a set of application program interfaces (APIs) that allow third-party programmers to build widgets that take advantage of personal data and profile connections on a social networking site. But instead of limiting the project to its own social-networking property, Orkut, Google has invited other sites along for the ride—including LinkedIn, Hi5, Plaxo, Ning, and Friendster.

    The initiative, appropriately, is called “OpenSocial.”

    Defining Search Engine Optimization

    Search engine optimization (SEO) is the practice of guiding the development of a Web site so that it will naturally attract visitors by winning top ranking on the major search engines for selected keyword phrases. That’s a long and rather complicated sentence, and yet it hardly begins to define search engine optimization.

    It doesn’t address the fact that most often, search engine optimization consultants (SEOs) are not invited to participate in a project until after the Web site is completed and launched, and are therefore not “guiding the development” of the Web site. Rather, SEOs most often are called upon to rehabilitate an existing Web site, usually after it is determined that a competitor is ranking higher in search engine results.

YouTube Increases Upload Limits, Provides Batch Uploader

YouTube announced yesterday that it had increased the size limit for videos to 1 GB, and also introduced new software that allows users to simultaneously upload multiple videos.

Users may still opt to upload their videos to the site through the browser form if they do not wish to put a piece of YouTube software on their hard drives, or in the case of Mac users, if the software isn’t supported at all.

If you’ve ever watched a feature film on YouTube, you know that files are broken up into increments and compressed severely. The new multi-upload application seems ideally suited for the purpose of putting such longer-form media on the site. By also increasing the potential file size, it will likely means that compression will be less of a detriment to picture quality.

Online Advertising Dollars Soaring

The amount of money spent in the US on online advertising will nearly double in the next four years, going from $21.4 billion in 2007 to $42 billion in 2011, according to a report by eMarketer. This represents an increase from a 7.4% share of total media in 2007, to a 13.3% share in 2011. In roughly the same period, online spending will nearly triple, rising from $16.9 billion in 2006 to $42 billion in 2011.

According to David Hallerman, eMarketer Senior Analyst and author of the new report US Advertising Spending, these four milestones mark the change:

“First, US Internet ad spending surpassed $5 billion in Q2 2007, the largest sum recorded in any quarter according to research from the Interactive Advertising Bureau and PricewaterhouseCoopers.”

Advertisements in Web videos seen missing mark

November 09, 2007 (Reuters)—Companies are rushing to serve up advertisements with online videos, but that doesn’t mean anybody is paying attention to the promotions for cars, soap or sneakers.

Although increasingly widespread, the short commercial spots that run before videos—everything from entertainment clips to news spots—may do as much harm as good, according to media experts. Studies show the commercials, known as prerolls, often irritate consumers, thus raising the risk they’ll ignore the promotion or click to another Web site altogether.

It’s really frustrating to watch 15- or 30-second of advertising before you get to see the video,” she said.

In one alternative, Google is offering an ad-supported video service known as “video units,” which runs relevant banners along the top of the video and text ads along the bottom. It’s considered a less invasive way of showing the audience an advertisement.

Other alternatives could include anything from sponsorship to product placement. Yet another possibility would be to rely on subscriptions rather than advertising.

But few believe consumers are willing to pay subscriptions, after getting so much content for free until now.
