The contemporary style of Shikhar Dhawan
Jun 22, 2013: He's refreshing and fearless, and it will be interesting to see how he negotiates the tough period that inevitably follows a fairytale beginning
Why India have had success in this Champions Trophy
Jun 14, 2013: The unexpected conditions in England have favoured India's adventurous batting
A need for governance and systems
Jun 7, 2013: Indian cricket needs solid back-room boys to lay down stringent rules, not people seeking cameras
The BCCI must do right by the fans
May 31, 2013: The board must give assurance that it intends on a complete clean-up of the sordid mess Indian cricket finds itself it, or it won't be long before the government steps in
May 24, 2013: The spot-fixing controversy teaches us about the pitfalls of insecurity and of the desire to keep up with the Joneses
A time for anger, a time for action
May 17, 2013: Out of the shattered lives of three young men caught up in allegations of fraud, newer and stronger players must emerge
May 10, 2013: As ever, the IPL has thrown up a few notable young players. Here's a look at the pick of this year's crop
The curious case of home advantage
May 3, 2013: Is the IPL creating strong city loyalties that are playing on the minds of away teams?
Give viewers the no-commentary option
Apr 26, 2013: It will challenge commentators to get better, and give fans a choice

The problem with Indian cricket academies
Apr 5, 2013: Increasingly young players (and their parents) look at them as ways to generate returns on investment
Cricket can't afford to be snobbish about its followers
Mar 29, 2013: Those who are interested in runs and wickets, winning and losing and nothing else in between need to be embraced if cricket is to survive and thrive
English cricket must reach out to its public
David Hopps: Its image as an establishment game fits uncomfortably with the impulse to spread T20 cricket to a wider audience
Ahmer Naqvi on why Stuart Broad is a little bit Pakistani
The Cricket Monthly July issue
'I'll always try and remain a player first and captain second'
All Out Cricket: Heather Knight on taking over the England captaincy from Charlotte Edwards, and charity work in Rwanda
Australia's happy hunting ground
Why do Australia, so often poor in Asia, never seem to lose in Sri Lanka? Daniel Brettig offers four possible reasons
Misbah and the art of wicket acquisition
Ahmer Naqvi: Lord's presented us with a fine study in his methods, where bowler and captain showcase their styles while sticking to a larger plan
Pakistan, press-ups and national redemption
The themes of redemption and rehabilitation had been a constant companion for Pakistan in the build-up to what proved to be an epic first Test, but it was only in that moment of victory that the true significance of their 75-run win could be understood
Pakistan's thrilling triumph at Lord's was underscored by their captain's serenity
West Indies need to paper over bowling cracks
The hosts' pace attack, with a combined experience of 31 Tests and 56 wickets, is a candidate for being their weakest ever, yet India cannot simply show up and expect to win
Yasir's 13 going on 100, and 42-year-old centurions
Also, losing ten-fors, and back to back Tests at Lord's
England played a full part in a compelling Test, but if they are to continue to evolve as a Test side the top order has to shape matches
West Indies need to paper over bowling cracks (62)
The hosts' pace attack, with a combined experience of 31 Tests and 56 wickets, is a candidate for being their weakest ever, yet India cannot simply show up and expect to win
Herath versus the mighty Australians? (44)
Sri Lanka's lead spinner must feel like a bus driver in charge of a spluttering vehicle as the hosts strive to challenge a strong Australian side
Australia seek returns on Mitchell Marsh investment (37)
Australia will be hoping that Mitchell Marsh grows from an emerging allrounder into a top-quality allrounder by the end of the Sri Lanka tour
Cook braves criticism as England play it safe (33)
There was enough logic in Alastair Cook's decision not to enforce the follow-on to make it understandable at worst and reasonable at best

This took far too long to make...3.98 / 5.00 6,814 Views
Although well animated, it didn´t follow as well as I was expecting, no Gilda, no hacksaw, no chunk of meat placed in her mouth against her will, no "Look I´m Rarity!"
Maybe, if it was longer, followed the story more, and MAYBE voices, you´d deserve a 10.
Why are you confused?
Cupcakes is legendary. Pinkie turns into Pinkamena, chops up her friends and disguises their remains by making cupcakes out of them. Most bronies don't like it but at least everyone knows of it. >_>
O_O omg
DUDE!!, that was twisted as HELL!! it's the only reason it got a nine. I can't believe I watched the whole thing. but as twisted as it was, it was well animated and well done. Thanks for the warning at the beginning, but it still didn't prepare me for THAT.
Where did this originate? I dont read fan-fics but this is um well not what ponies should be doing... By the way "Dashie" would be dead when her wings were chopped off.
But it could use some voices. and could be longer :)

2 Claims.
This invention relates to a novel blanking circuit, and more particularly to a blanking signal generating and utilizing system suitable for use in radio detecting and ranging equipment (radar) to desensitize the pulse receiving circuits, not only during the transmission of the pulse, but also for a predetermined time interval subsequent thereto.
In radar systems it is customary to transmit time-spaced pulses in the form of a series of high frequency pulse signals (interrupted continuous waves) and to receive the same pulses upon reflection from distant objects. Means are provided at the radar station for measuring and indicating the elapsed time between the transmis sion of a pulse and the reception, upon reflection, of the same pulse. With such systems it is frequently desirable to desensitize, or blank, the receiver during the transmission of each pulse, so that the receiver, and particularly the associated indicating. circuits, will not be overloaded by the direct reception of the transmitted pulse signals. It has been found, however, that under certain conditions it is not sufficient merely to blank the receiver only during the brief pulse transmission periods. It has been found that the high intensity transmitted pulse often produces a strong transient in certain of the receiving circuits, and that these persist for an appreciable time after the termination of the pulse. In addition it has been found that pulses reected from nearby objects, such as parts of the antenna housing, nearby structures, and the like, may produce undesirably strong signals in the receiver and consequently undesirably strong indications on the indicating means. In long-range radar systems this latter effect is not regarded as serious, since the objects sought after are at a very considerable distance from the radar station compared to that of the interfering nearby structures. However, in short-range radar systems these short term reflections may be objectionable and in such instances it is desirable that means be provided for minimizing their effects upon the receiver and indicating means.
It is therefore a primary object of this invention to provide means for desensitizing, or blanking, a radar receiver not only during the transmission of the pulse signal, but also for a predetermined interval thereafter.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a blanking signa] which desensitizes the receiver during the transmission of the main pulse, and which thereafter gradually restores the receivers normal sensitivity over a predetermined period of time such that signals reflected from nearby objects and structures are greatly attenuated, while still producing indications of moderate magnitude in the indicating means.
Other objects and features of the invention will become apparent hereinafter.
The invention itself will best be understood by reference to the following drawings, in which Fig, 1 is a block diagram of a typica1 radar system;
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the blanking signal generator and circuit comprising the present invention; and
Fig. 3 is a diagram used in explaining the operation of the circuit of Fig. 2.
It is believed that the invention will best be understood, if its description is preceded by a general description of a conventional radar system, such as that illustrated in the simplified block diagram of Fig. 1. As is well understood by those skilled in the art the basic elements of such a system comprise a pulse transmitter l, a pulse receiver 2, and a suitable device 3 for indicating the elapsed time between the transmission of a given pulse and the reception of the same pulse. The indicating means 3 may comprise an oscilloscope with its associated control and operating circuits. The operation of the transmitter may be controlled by a switching signal from the pulse source 4. In a typical radar system the transmitter I and pulse source 4 combine to produce an interrupted constant wave signal comprising, for example, pulses of one microsecond duration occurring at the rate of 1000` per second. These signals may be radiated from a suitable antenna structure 5. Upon reflection from a distant object the returning pulses are received by the same antenna structure and supplied throughtbe agency of the T-R box 8, to the receiver 2. The T-R (transmit-receive) box 6 is a device whose function it is to decouple the receiver 2 from the antenna l5 during the pulse transmission periods, and to decouple the transmitter I from the said antenna during the intervening periods. Such device is known in the art, and since it is not a Dart of the present invention it is deemedl unnecessary to describe it in detail.
The indicating means 3 is responsive both to the modulating pulse (from the source 4) and to the reected pulse (which it derives from the receiver 2), and is constructed and arranged, in known manner, to provide a reading or indication by means of which an observer is enabled to determine the distance of the reiiecting object, the time interval between the transmission of the amplier portion, of the receiver 2 of Fig. 1.
ceiver by way of a coupling condenser II.
3 pulse and the reception of the reflected pulse being proportional, of course, to the distance between the radar system and the reflecting object.
While the T-R boX 6 is effective to a considerable degree to decouple the receiver 2 from the antenna during the pulse transmission period, it does no-t entirely prevent the receiver and indicator from being deleteriously affected by transmitted signal energy, and consequently it is customary to provide additional means for rendering the receiver insensitive to the transmitted signal. This is commonly accomplished by a blanking signal circuit.
In the system of Fig. 1, signal is derived from the pulse source 4 and supplied to a blanking signal generator 'I which generates a signal of suitable polarity and amplitude and applies it to selected gain controlling elements of the receiver 2. By means of this procedure, the receiver may be thoroughly desensitized during the pulse transmission period. As has already been indicated, however, this procedure is not entirely satisfactory in short-range radar systems, for the reason that the receiver is deleteriously affected by transients produced by the transmitted pulse, and also by powerful signals reflected from structures associated with the radar station, or from nearby objects such as aircraft and the like.
According to the present invention there is provided an improved blanking signal generator and circuit which is constructed and arranged to desensitize the receiver not only during the transmission of the main pulse, but also for a predetermined time thereafter, the said time being sufficient to protect the receiver against transients. The device of the invention is further constructed and arranged to restore the normal gain of the receiver gradually whereby to prevent receiver overloading due to the reception of strong reflected pulses received from nearby structures. An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the schematic diagram of Fig. 2. In this figure the pulse source 4 corresponds to the similarly designated pulse source of Fig, 1,
while the triode 8 and its associated circuits comprise the blanking signal generator I of Fig. 1. Y
The pentode amplier 9 is representative of a portion, preferably the intermediate frequency Signal from a preceding portion of the receiver may be supplied to the amplifier Q through a suitable coupling condenser I Il, and, after amplification, may be supplied to subsequent portions of the re- Plate and screen potentials are supplied to the amplifier 9 from a source designated +220 v. The screen circuit includes the resistor I2, the con'- ductor IS, and the resistor I4, while the plate circuit includes these elements together with the plate load resistor I5. The screen gridu I is grounded at the operating intermediate frequency by the condenser Il.
In vthe intervals between the pulses the triode is biased below plate current cutoff, so that the potential applied to the screen and plate electrodes of the amplier 9 is less than the voltage of the source (in this case 220 volts) only by the relatively small vo-ltage drops in the resistors I2, I4 and I5. In the embodiment of Fig. 2 the effective bias on the triode 8 is given by the dif- `ference lbetween the cathode and grid voltages, in thev case illustrated, -135 volts. During the pulse interval a square signal pulse is derived from the pulse source il of sufficient amplitude to drive the triode substantially rto plate current saturation. In this condition the plate impedance of the triode forms, with the resistor I2, a voltage divider across the plate and bias potential sources designated, in Fig. 2, 40 v. and +220 v. Preferably the triode 8 has a plate impedance, in the saturated condition, which is loW compared with the resistance of the plate load resistor I2, so that during the pulse the-point I8 (the junction of the triodes plate and its load resistor I2) drops'somewhat below ground potential. Since the point I8 is the effective source of screen and plate potential for the amplifier 9 it follows that during the pulse period the screen and plate potentials drop from their normal positive value to a value which may be below ground potential.
In the absence of the condensers I'I and I9, the plate and screen voltages of the IF ampliiier 9 would be at low or negative potential only in the presence of the pulse signal, and in consequence the IF amplier would be blanked only during that period.
In accordance with one of the features of the invention, sufcient capacitance is connected between a low potential point (e. g., ground) and the plate of triode 8 substantially to lengthen the blanking interval and thereby to desensitize the receiver not only during the period in which the pulse is transmitted, but also during the period immediately following. Such capacitance may be provided by the already present screen bypass condenser I'I, and, if desired, by the additional condenser I9 connected from the point I3 to ground. While these condensers are physically separated by the small screen filter resistor I4, this has no substantial electrical effect upon the blanking system illustrated. The effect of these condensers can best be described with reference to Fig. 3, in which the graph 2|] represents the signal derived from 4the pulse source 4 plotted against time in microseconds. The pulse 2| may have a duration of the order of 1 microsecond, and its amplitude may be suicient, when applied to the grid of the triode 8, to drive the tube to plate current saturation. In the intervals between pulses the condensers I'I and .I9 are each charged, from the source +220 v., to the normal operating screen potential of the tube 9 (ignoring the negligible voltage difference between the condensers produced by the resistor I4). This potentia1 is indicated in the lower graph of Fig. 3 as E13. With the arrival'of the pulse 2| the triode 8 is driven to plate current saturation with the result that the upper plates of the condensers II and I9 are connected, through the low impedance triode path (which may be of the order'of 500 ohms), to the source of voltage designated -40 v. Because the impedance of the saturated triode 8 is very low, the voltage on the condensers, and hence on the conductor I3, drops almost instantaneously, as indicated in Fig. 3, to a voltage which is preferably of the order of, or slightly below, ground potential. As the condenser voltage approaches very closely the voltage of the cathode of the triode 8 it falls less rapidly, finally reaching the voltage designated by the point 22 of Fig. 3 just as the pulse is terminated. At the conclusionV of the pulse the triode 8 is again driven to a bias condition belowplate current cutoff, and the condensers Vare rechargedV through the resistor I2, the potential 1of the conductor I3 returning to the normal voltage E1s along a path 23, the shaperof which is largely dependent upon the time constant of the circuit comprising the resistor I2 and the condensers I'I and I9.
In one satisfactory physical embodiment of the invention a time constant of 2.4 microseconds was employed. With a time constant of this magnitude the screen and plate electrodes of the amplifier 9 are returned to within the approximately 30% of their normal operating voltage within 2.4 microseconds. This condition is illustrated approximately in the graphs of Fig. 3. Under these circumstances the amplifier 9 is rendered inoperative for a substantial period following `the pulse with the result that transients produced in the receiver by the reception of the pulse are rendered harmless. Aside from this, however, the invention provides theadditional advantage that in the period following the pulse and the immediately following transient, the sensitivity of the amplifier is restored gradually, as indicated by the portion 23 of the graph of Fig. 3, so that pulse signals reflected from nearby structures, and which are consequently of considerable amplitude, are discriminated against by the amplifier 9 with the result that they emerge from the receiver 2 with substantially no more than normal signal amplitude.
In the schematic diagram of Fig. 2 the gain controlling voltage derived from the conductor I3 is applied, as hereinbefore described, to both the screen grid and plate of the amplifier 9. It will be evi-dent, of course, that a lesser degree of gain control may be effected by applying this voltage to only one or the -other of said electrodes. On the other hand, if it is desired to secure a greater gain control elect, it is entirely within the province of this invention to apply the gain controlling signal to the screen and plate electrodes (or to any combination thereof) of a plurality of amplifier tubes.
While the features of the present invention have been described with respect to speciiic embodiments, it will be understood that this is solely for the purpose of disclosure, and should not be taken as a limitation of the invention to the specific constructions illustrated. Moreover, a1- though the embodiment illustrated in Fig. 2 has been described with particular reference to radar systems, it will be evident that the blanking circuit there disclosed is applicable in any instance where it may be desirable to blank or desenstize receivers during and shortly following the transmission of carrier Wave signals.

During a recent French Ligue 1 game between FC Nantes and Valenciennes FC, Nantes striker Fernando Aristeguieta scored the go-ahead goal in the 89th minute, giving his team a 2-1 lead. He celebrated by running over to the cheering crowd.
Who embraced him with the largest group hug ever known to man, as the entire section rushed to be a part of the action.
The moment was both amazing and terrifying at the same time.
But mostly amazing. Just imagine receiving that kind of love and support at your job.

Not a whole lot of development further into this storyline. It was a rather funny movie though, with several memorable lines. I enjoyed the home-made sound effects and the music as well. Looking forward to part 3!
Interesting idea- using drawings and not traditional animation. The Speakonia voices were great, and having it in widescreen was a great idea. Overall, a unique and interesting animation.
Happy Clock Day!
Nice style
This was really entertaining, looks like you put a lot of work into this.
Looking forward to the next episode.

Yeah I'm sorry about that.

Man, Were We Wrong

Women control 80 percent or more of spending, right? Wrong!
Despite the fact that it's been a generally accepted statistic for as many decades as I've been writing about retailing, several recent surveys suggest that men have a nearly equal say these days on spending. And, as it turns out, industry experts are hard-pressed to definitively corroborate the 80 percent statistic — let alone trace its origin.
Aside from the fact that I'm ashamed of myself for glibly passing along this bit of folklore for so many years, I wonder if retailers pay any attention to research about who controls the purse strings. After all, if they're tapping the business intelligence and predictive analytics tools many have in place, they should already have a pretty solid view of who's shopping in their stores and what they're buying.
Furthermore, the very notion of what constitutes a household has been radically evolving for decades. Yes, more men are shopping than ever before; they're also sharing child-rearing responsibilities and occupying more seats at the local PTA meeting. Is this really news to anyone? Let's face it; any retailer still harboring a "Brady Bunch" view of household dynamics won't be around much longer.
At my house, I continue to do most of the shopping (probably about 75 percent), but I can count on my husband to step up to the plate for some of the supermarket shopping and nearly all "warehouse" runs. I think I could get him to increase his efforts if there were more retailers who indulged his penchant for playing with technology.
Case in point: Stop & Shop. The store closest to us allows the shopper to use a handheld scanner as he shops, then hand over the device at checkout, pay and go. Whenever my husband shops there, he uses the scanner; he loves the darned thing and has deemed it "smart and efficient."
I'm not quite as enamored; I tend to be the one tossing things in the cart at record speed and huffing in exasperation as I queue up in the checkout line. I've tried using the scanner, but old habits are hard to break. To be honest, I've forgotten to scan a few items on occasion. Then I'm foraging through the bags trying to determine what I missed in an effort to elude jail time over a jar of purloined peanut butter.
The lesson here is simple: Know who's shopping in your stores. It's not the same mix of shoppers it was five years ago — or even two years ago. And pay attention to the shopping experience; it needs to be in sync with the changing dynamics of the shopper.
Oh and on a personal note: If the execs at Macy's could create a smartphone app that mimicked the Stop & Shop scanner, I would be a very happy woman.

Randy Sparks takes what might appear to be a minor port on the Gold Coast and gives us a history of the whole Atlantic Basin, through the history of one carefully defined branch of the slave trade. He shows us how multiple actors from different cultures speaking a number of different languages managed to cooperate, argue, compete, and finally succeed in knitting a transatlantic community together. This is a masterpiece of turning micro-history, with its fine detail, into mega-history of the first magnitude.
(John Thornton, author of A Cultural History of the Atlantic World, 1250–1820)
This well-written and altogether gripping story is Atlantic history at its best. Randy Sparks demonstrates the complexity of enslavement itself, examining the multiple processes by which persons came to be construed as property, both on the coast of Africa and in the Atlantic trade.
(Rebecca J. Scott, co-author of Freedom Papers: An Atlantic Odyssey in the Age of Emancipation)
Randy Sparks's well-illustrated study of this Gold Coast port expands and deepens our understanding of African middlemen's importance in the Atlantic economy before 1800 and of the operations of the transatlantic slave trade.
(David Northrup, author of Africa's Discovery of Europe, 1450–1850)
This persuasive, well-researched study of the 18th-century Atlantic slave trade takes the unique approach of examining 'the African merchant elites who facilitated that trade,' who, according to Tulane University history professor Sparks, 'were as essential to the Atlantic economy as the merchants of Liverpool, Nantes, or Middleburg.' That premise may be somewhat surprising, if not outright provocative, but he delivers proof. (Publishers Weekly 2013-10-28)
Africans entered the trans-Atlantic slave trade as more than cargo; many operated as wily merchants integral to the far-reaching Atlantic commerce that began with European contact and the search for gold in the 1430s and shifted to traffic in humans…Unveiling African merchant elites functioning as cultural brokers, literate in English and traveled in Europe and the Americas, and operating as major forces responding to 18th-century market opportunities, Sparks expands our understanding of the Atlantic connections of West Africa's coastal trading communities. (Thomas J. Davis Library Journal (starred review) 2013-12-15)
Where the Negroes Are Masters is a pathfinding work that surely will have great influence on our understanding of 'the largest forced migration in history.' Sparks is a diligent researcher who shows the many ways in which the Fante leadership entrenched its position in the trade…An interesting and important book. (Jonathan Yardley Washington Post 2014-01-31)
Carefully researched, completely engaging…Sparks recounts a story that is so telling, and so profound in its implications, that it should be explored in every school in the land--and used as a touchstone for a new way of describing the birth of America. (Marc Aronson School Library Journal 2014-05-08)

there is truth and there is White people's 'truth"... sensationalism and false equivalence. I'm just going to point out some real info, regardless of this pathetic book, this was rough draft write up and I have not had the time to rework it, but it will do:
From a historical standpoint, there is no ancient recorded history of African slavery, comparable to what slavery truly is. (SLAVic enslavement) Indentured servants are not property. They are workers paying off a debt. Slaves have *no* rights, in African servitude you did.
African servitude is different from slavery. While there were instances where you could be bartered or captured because of a crime (form of imprisonment); it wasn't slavery. As slavery was and is a European concept and practice, it's where we get the word and practice from. ''Slavery simplistically, is the LEGAL and STATE use of a people to build an economy through multiple generations of BORN SLAVE status where people have few to no rights/freedoms; that is not African servitude and we need to begin to look at it from an *African* one and not a *European* one, the two are different and are NOT interchangeable.''''
People have actively sought to put the Maafa (transatlantic) and African "slavery" on the same level.Read more ›
"Where the Negroes are Masters" is the story of the major British slave and gold trading port in West Africa, on the Gold Coast, Annamaboe. Annamaboe is a city that thrived only during the slave trade. This is the story of it's rise and fall. It still exists, but only as a mere shadow of it's former glory.
The intrigues, diplomacy successes and failures, the strong personalities, the strife between the Native Tribes (mostly Fante and Asante) and the British with extensions into the French and Spanish and Portuguese, the battles and problems of governing such a place, the cultures and empires of the Fante and the Asante, the Native merchants and rulers and peoples, and much more are well described and their interactions discussed.
Randy Sparks enables us to see the "Atlantic World" of trade between South America, North America, Europe and Africa. In this book Randy focuses on the Gold Coast and its role. The other legs of the "Black Atlantic" are in many other books. This is a side of the story seldom told til recently. We even get a chapter on slave trading in the African interior between the African Empires.
The book is well and interestingly written. The stories of power and greed and gore are well done. The reader comes away from the book with a much better understanding of Africa and the Gold Coast slave trade. The detail is amazing, gleaned from historical records and primary sources. The notes and bibliography are nearly 25% of the book.
For a more reading on the slave trade, I recommend both Meredith Martin's "The Fortunes of Africa" A 5000 Year History of Wealth Greed and Endeavor," and Paul Lovejoy's "Transformations in Slavery (African Studies)." These two give a wide angle view of the slave trade where Sparks chose to concentrate on one major port. For a modern, not Eurocentric view, both the wide angle and the sharp focus are recommended.

GOP to Women Voters: Heed Our Statements, Not Our Votes
Republicans have recently deployed a new tactic to deal with the fact that key aspects of their agenda — including their opposition to the previously noncontroversial Violence Against Women Act and their party-line vote in the Senate against legislation to end gender discrimination in pay – are directly at odds with the women voters they need to close the gender gap favoring Democrats and win on Election Day. They've simply decided to mislead those women by telling them they believe the opposite of how they voted.
After the RNC celebrated Labor Day by tweeting out a graphic reading "All Republicans Support Equal Pay", which neatly confuses "support" with "voted repeatedly to block," we have yet another issue they seem intent on misleading women voters about on the road to Election Day.

Florida Rep. Steve Southerland took a page out of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's book and touted his support for the Violence Against Women Act reauthorization in a new ad, even though he voted against a comprehensive version of the bill that was signed into law. In fact, Messrs. Southerland and McConnell actually voted for weaker protections for some victims of violence.
Earlier this month, GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who is considering a presidential run in 2016, declared that no one wanted to ban contraception access, despite supporting a "personhood" measure that would likely ban many forms of birth control.
It's not clear yet that Republicans can keep this up for the 60-plus days left until women head to the polls – or if women will notice they aren't being told the truth.

Amazon AutoRip for books and video? Hopefully in the future, says execPocket-lint
Amazon launched its AutoRip music service in the UK and other regions in Europe today, an added benefit to customers who buy CDs and vinyl records from the online retailer. They get free MP3 versions of all tracks to play in or download from Amazon's Cloud Player. And it even works retrospectively, taking in music on physical media purchased at any time since the retailer opened its doors (in 1999) also applies.
It's a revolutionary idea, and has already seen a rise in sales of CDs since its US launch in January. And with vinyl records around 60-90 days later, after that option was added.
So what if the same concept was applied to books? Amazon has the world's biggest eBook store and, in the Kindle, the most popular device to read them on. How about offering a free eBook for every physical book sold? Or digital video download with every DVD or Blu-ray disc, such as a more universal version of UltraViolet?
Pocket-lint put these questions to Steve Boom, Amazon's vice-president for digital music, who agreed that these were areas worth investigating, and have been the subject of requests by US users of the service in the past few months.
"There's always a possibility for everything. If you do an AutoRip search on Twitter, for example, you'll see a lot of people saying how great it is and that it should be done for books and video," he told us in a one-to-one interview.
But there are many things to consider before either books or video downloads could be AutoRip-enabled. While Amazon has deals in place with all of the major record labels and many independents, it would have to sign similar agreements with rights holders in other industries. They don't necessarily operate in the same way as their equivalents in the music business.
"Use of those market segments is different and operate differently from an economic perspective. With rights ownership and the evolution of rights ownership too," said Boom. "Anything is possible – it would certainly be a great customer benefit if this were a characteristic of all media types – but right now it is just music.
"Hopefully in the future it might become possible."
