MC2 Post 1338 Please Don’t Watch NBC Tonight _ Or Any Night







Please Don’t Watch NBC Tonight.  
Or Any Night

This is 2012, not 1996. NBC has put all of the events live online, provided you have a cable subscription, but won’t have them available recorded online and won’t air many events, including the most high-profile ones, until a primetime tape delay.

This isn’t a new strategy, just a dumb, outdated one.

This isn’t just the first social Olympics; it’s the first Olympics where we can see in real time the dysfunction of the broadcast monopoly

— Michael Roston (@michaelroston) July 28, 2012

Sums it up pretty well. We’ve already covered the failings of NBC (and the IOC) fairly extensively, but its a topic that bears repeating. 

Check out   #nbcfail    for a live (gasp, what’s that?) stream 
of people’s frustrations with the peacock network.

Now, I like to think that NBC isn’t completely outdated and stupid. 

They’re doing this for a reason: m-o-n-e-y.

I wanted to Post this Yesterday, right after I saw the "Live" 9:00 am KC - Google annoucement, from a Google + Link posted by the venerable Mike Elgan, he seems to keep track of a lot of Cool Stuff.

(( Like TODAY, Mike has a video link to Microsoft PixelSense Demo - Airhockey. ))

Sadly, after the Live Feed (from KC) the video was locked down and I couldn't Re-Post it Here.

So Today I'll just Point You over to the CNET Story that lets you have a look-see and listen on You Tube directly.

First For Something "Out of this World..."

The over 490 year-old "empanadas".
 Is still rather popular

(according to KCAL9 news story yesterday.)

NONNAS Empanadas Beverly Hills serves

From:  http://losangeles.cbslocal.com

STUDIO CITY (CBS) — Nonna’s Empanadas Co-Owner Eduardo Ekmekgian

how to make homemade empanadas.

Nonna’s Empanadas is the first restaurant in the world to offer more than 40 international flavors of empanadas.

Hak5's Darren Kitchen was on Tech News Today, 
Leo Laporte's Daily Tech News Show.

Darren's Review on an article that proposed something that could possibly "Save Blackberry" was very interesting.




How to Save RIM: ‘Pull a Reverse Apple’

EarthWeb/Dice co-founder Jack Hidary oversaw a record-breaking IPO in 2007, and he has taken to Fortune to offer some free, unsolicited advice for struggling smartphone vendor Research In Motion (RIMM): “Pull a reverse Apple.”

This was not posted on the Show Notes 
or on TNT Reddit page either.
 
So I had to really hunt to track down the reference...

Hey, It's what I Do.

Coming: Dell Ultrabook with Ubuntu 12.04 
for Developers



===================================
===================================

This autumn, Dell plans to start offering a variant of its Ultrabook XPS 13 with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS pre-installed. The Linux device is specifically intended for developers and is designed to offer a "complete client-to-cloud solution". Dell will install software that implements a micro cloud on the notebook, allowing developers to test their cloud software before uploading it to public cloud deployments.

The Ultrabook running Ubuntu came out of Project Sputnik, which was publicised a few weeks ago and saw various Dell employees evaluate the market potential of such a product.
