While Mark Rein was away, the lawyers did play. During last week's GDC a cease and desist order was sent to Emilio Lopez over a very well done one-time piece of Gears of War art. Lopez had created the Munny doll for his cousin. The lawyers requested all Gears of War trademarks be removed -- even though the assets used to create the doll were taken from a fansite pack Epic released. Epic's VP Mark Rein apparently got back to the office after hearing about this and typed out a statement of apology and clarification.
Rein says on the Epic website, "Ugh. Our lawyers are trying to do their job and protect our trademarks but I guess they didn't realize this wasn't a commercial project and they fired off a standard form letter ... What we need to do is come up with some sort of permission letter for things like these so that we're properly protecting our future commercial rights but not stopping people from doing cool fan art like this. On behalf of Epic I apologize to Emilio and anyone who was offended by this."
[Thanks Frost]

text: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7891222.stm The United States army is to accept immigrants with temporary US visas, according to the New York Times. Until now immigrants have had to have permanent residency - a "green card" - in order to qualify for the services. Those with temporary visas will be offered accelerated citizenship if they enrol. The immigrants will gain their citizenship and get on a ramp to the American dream." Army recruiters say their job has become easier in recent months as unemployment has risen. There appeared to be some opposition from officers and veterans, who expressed concern that some foreigners might have divided loyalties or be terrorists seeking to infiltrate the US armed services.

Busy Summer
I have been having such a crazy summer running wise. I have a few accomplishments I have to share. =) So far I have run over 14 weeks of over 80mi and just a couple weeks ago hit a personal high of 150. I also ran the longest run I have ever run, 30mi. I pr'ed in the 10k by almost a minute and a half with a time of 33:53 winning the race, and I did three laps around this crazy hilly run that my high school calls rim. (normally only varsity runs this and never more than one lap). I still have a few weeks to go but I have already achieved so much in the summer before my last xc season. ='( I'm gonna miss this.

Belarussian journalist Evgeny Morozov was getting sick of encountering the same stories about US politics on many of the blogs and news sites he frequents. So he decided to engineer some serendipity, building a new type of news aggregation site: Polymeme.Polymeme (Thanks, Ethan!)
Polymeme relies on the wisdom of crowds in a very different way that sites like Reddit and Digg. For each of twenty core topics, the algorithms behind Polymeme monitor a small set of blogs, chosen because they focus on a specific topic, like evolution, education or economics. The algorithms look to see what stories - in mainstream press, alternative or citizen media - are being linked to and discussed in these "expert" blogs. Polymeme offers a link to the story being talked about, as well as to a selection of blogposts that address the story in question.
The site lets you encounter new ideas as a conversation between an original author and a set of bloggers engaging with the ideas. And the stories featured tend be both fascinating and not to be the ones getting lots of love on Digg and Reddit.
Of course, some things don't change no matter how wide a net you cast: according to the site's own statistics, the two people most often mentioned in the blogs tracked: Barack Obama and John McCain.
Polymeme: the stories that Digg and Reddit miss
12 Responses to "Polymeme: the stories that Digg and Reddit miss"
As soon as I read the title of this post I thought it should read "Polymeme: the stories that Digg and Reddit miss because of rampant fanboi posturing and spin"
And on a side note, did you know Kevin Rose got a "special thanks" credit in GTA IV? I thought it was weird when I saw it. But then again there were no less than 40,000 names in the credits, my mother could have been in there somewhere.
It's a shame Polymeme went away. I've never really found anything to replace it.
Like digg, but without the morons.
sounds like what metafilter strives to be, except replacing contributing site users with algorithms
True, but if it's finding positive stories about McCain or negative stories about Obama, you can be sure those were previously slipping through the cracks of Digg and Reddit.
(I mean, say what you will about the campaign, but when Digg's best response to a story asking "Why are there so many positive Obama articles and negative McCain ones" is "Because Obama is Jesus and Santa Claus rolled into one, and McCain is like Bush, only older and more senile," you get the impression they're not even trying anymore.)
"sick of encountering the same stories about US politics on many of the blogs and news sites he frequents."
And yet the vast majority of the stories on Polymeme still seem to be about the USA.
@#2 It says sick of the same articles on US politics not all articles on US politics.
Looks like a great site.
Concentrating the good stuff?
We need a LOTTA more o' that on the web these days. Bravo.
I like it. I especially enjoy how you can view the default page and your own custom page with topics more relevant to your interests.
It lets you find things you'll like and discover new things at the same time.
Yeah, I used to read digg about two years ago, before it got invaded by the myspace crowd.
Now it's all "U all need to see this pic OWNED lolol!"
Or "Iran feeds orphan children, invents perpetual energy machine"
Thanks Cory – I'll have to give this a spin in my rotation. Digg fell out of my regular reading a while ago now, and Reddit is suffering more and more from an epidemic of slow turnover on the front page. Slashdot, Fark, Arstechnica and Engaget just don't fill enough time in my day!
Memeorandum has been doing something similar to this for a while for politics.

The call for proposals for O'Reilly Emerging Tech 2009 has just gone up: "Living, Reinvented." I was involved in every ETech from the first P2PCon in 1999 right up to last year (I'm taking a year or two off while I catch up on fatherhood and book-deadlines), and I have had some of my most mind-blowing, life-altering conversations and experiences at these events, which showcase the leading edge of (often impractical but never boring) experimentation, skunkworks, and passionate development.

Cloud Computing | News
Google has unveiled several enhancements to its cloud services, including premiere support for its app engine and database, storage, and machine learning offerings.
With the company reporting more than "200,000 developers" already having used its services to create apps, the newest offerings are designed to allow more users to do likewise in a cloud environment.
Among the new offerings is Google App Engine Premier Accounts, a premium package available at $500 per month.
Key features of this product include:
A free database service is also available with the recently released Google Cloud SQL, which utilizes relational database technology to match data by means of common characteristics in a data set. Among uses, student records, and grades can be grouped more easily around desired criteria, as can other data.
Free for now, the product is expected to see upgrades in the future.
"It will continue to evolve as we work out the kinks during the preview," announced Jessie Jiang, group product manager, in a blog post this week.
Online storage will be made easier with Google Cloud Storage, an update to the company's previous cloud storage option. Pricing has been modified to provide volume discounts and to eliminate charges for ingress.
Features available include:
Google has also rolled out the newest version of its machine learning offering with the release of Prediction API 1.4.
