GoDigital to Deliver thousands of Hours of Movie & TV Programming to YouTube

Posted: 20 Apr 2011 05:19 PM PDT

 

GoDigital Media Group, a leading entertainment media distribution and marketing company, recently announced the upcoming delivery of up to 2,000 hours of movie and TV content to YouTube and I just can’t stop thinking about my iPad. This information comes directly after the announcement that YouTube is planning to add a channel based video experience to their site.

GoDigital President, Logan Mulvey says, ”We’re thrilled to be a part of YouTube’s new channel based platform for feature length content, the move makes a lot of sense in the evolution of content distribution.”

GoDigital has already distributed thousands of hours of content in the digital space and shows no signs of slowing down. GoDigital uses the ContentBridge suite of digital supply chain management software to internally manage its content and automate its external packaging and deployment to retailers and publishers like YouTube.

GoDigital is an industry leader for the monetization of movie, television, and music assets in the digital space.  GoDigital provides over 100 major library owners, distributors, and sales agencies digital distribution, marketing, and its proprietary AdShare™ social media monetization program.  GoDigital monetizes over two million copyrights from clients including three of the four major record labels and 23 members of the Independent Film & Television Alliance.  Nearly 500 million homes around the world can access GoDigital content on dozens of digital retail platforms including iTunes, Amazon, Netflix, and Hulu.

Excellent. I just finished watching “Autopsy, a Love Story” on my iPod. Oh the possibilities…. Thank you GoDigital.

This Atari 400 keyboard will bring back early eighties computing

Posted: 20 Apr 2011 04:28 PM PDT

Ah, remember the early eighties? Before everyone had a personal computer, you could always get a computer that you could hook to your television set.

This was the age of the Commodore 64 and the Atari 400 and the 800. There was no Internet available for them at the time, but you could play games for them that looked better than anything on the Atari 2600. I would imagine that you could program on them too, but I never did, honestly.

The Atari 800 had a clickity-click keyboard that resembles most computer keyboards, but the 400 had a look that was quite unique. If you it back, hit the jump to find out how.

A Japanese company known as Niyari has reproduced the orange, brown, and tan keyboard and it can be connected to a computer via USB. In all honesty, I don’t know why you would want this keyboard. The keys don’t stand out much, and I’m sure you will give yourself some serious carpal tunnel syndrome if you type on it for too long. Did anyone know about ergonomics back in the early eighties?

However, if you need to have this bit of eighties nostalgia on your modern-day computer, then this is the device for you. It costs a pretty hefty price of about $149.

Fraunhofer IPMS OLED microdisplay-based eyetracking HMD

Posted: 20 Apr 2011 04:04 PM PDT

For those of you that don’t know what HMD is, it is an acronym for Head Mounted Device. This particular HMD has a microdisplay, like the Lumus PD-20 that we reported on a while ago.

This odd-looking set of eyeglasses that looks like something from an 80s science-fiction film poster is from Fraunhofer IPMS, and it can do eyetracking thanks to its sensors and integrated photodetectors.

The bi-directional microdisplay can be used for augmented reality applications, just like certain apps like Layar. I suppose that the end result of this is some sort of analyzer that gives us an Iron Man point of view. I can live with that.

I must admit that the frame for this HMD looks kind of crude, like it was built by Matrix refugees. If a sleeker, more practical version of this electric monocle could be made, then perhaps we have something that might have practical application in the real world.

So, is this the face of the future? If so, then I don’t see why you can’t put two of these special lenses together and make some augmented reality glasses. Then I suppose we will live in a world where we will never have to ask what anything is, because the augmented reality (AR) glasses will tell us.

Yes, the future looks bright, and I have to wear AR shades.

AutoGyro Cavalon Gyrocopter

Posted: 20 Apr 2011 03:35 PM PDT

It has been a while since we reported on a gyrocopter with The Amazing Flying Dutch Car. This particular gyrocopter is AutoGyro’s Cavalon, and it is planned to be unveiled at Aero Friedrichshafen, which I can only assume is some airshow of some type.

The Cavalon is a two-seater chopper that my Source states has “plenty of space for a passenger and a pilot, with plenty of room to move around if needed”. I strongly doubt that by the looks of it, as it looks like my mini-van has more room.

However, my mini-van can’t fly. This Cavalon looks like it can go on land as well as the air, but I only say that because of the three wheels on it.

I suppose that this is probably as close as we are going to get to flying cars. I remember that the main characters of Brave New World flew around in helicopters, and I thought that was an interesting theory about the future, back in the 1930s.

The AutoGyro Cavalon is going to be pretty rare as only 10 will be made. It is going to have a price tag about $94,276. Yes, that is pretty expensive, and I don’t think I can afford it any more than I could build one of my own like that guy in China.

GoKart Golf Trolley Review

Posted: 20 Apr 2011 06:01 AM PDT

I recently took delivery of the GoKart electric golf trolley and as we’re having some nice sunny weather over here in the UK I’ve been able to take it out for a couple of rounds, here’s my thoughts and experiences with it.

The assembly is quick and easy, simply 2 folds, attach the wheels, insert the battery and you’re ready to go. The battery holds the trolley together and there is a bit of a knack to be mastered when lining it up. When folded it’s pretty compact which is great for storage and people with unpractical cars (holds hand up).

The controls are located on the handle and are really simple, there’s a toggle for on and off, next to which is rotating knob that controls the speed. You set the speed to match your walking speed and let it motor along alongside you. It only works in one direction so if you are going up a steep incline you’ll want to hold onto it it to prevent it toppling over (I learnt this the hard way). Also on the handle is the standard holder for you score card, tees and a couple of balls.

Battery life has been great and completed various hilly par 5′s (there is also a 36 hole upgrade available), if the battery does run out its light enough to drag around without wearing your self out.

If you’re in the market for a new golf trolley I’d certainly recommend the GoKart (even if the first time I used it I had the round from hell). It’s available in the UK from GoKart (surprisingly enough) for £244.
