Justin.tv, the non-stop TV show featuring an extremely popular webcam of a guy named Justin in San Francisco (see it in action below), is unveiling a network to allow other people to do the same thing.
The technology required to stream video of your life to large numbers of viewers, while you are constantly on the go, for example in a car, is not as easy as it looks, and Justin.tv has gotten a reputation of doing it well.
The show is trying to become a company (in Silicon Valley, you can’t stay small and frivolous without people wondering what is wrong with you), and so a network is one way to do this. It will offer people a vanity URL (http://justin.tv/name) and the staples featured on Justin’s page, such as a chat room, calendar, clip archives and so on. Techcrunch has the details here. These features are certainly nifty, when compared to most off-the-shelf video tools offered by YouTube and chat/networking sites. Yet another company, Ustream.tv, has recently popped up to do something similar.
Justin.tv got previous funding from YCombinator. It has benefited from hype and entered bubble territory more than most companies. The other problem with a network is that anyone shooting 24/7 cams of themselves are unlikely to want to fork over any ad revenue they earn to Justin.tv. Few people are likely to spark with viewers as well as Justin.
Even this evening, the future of Justin.tv was being debated at the site itself:

If you read Apple Insider you've heard the rumor, the next product to be jettisoned by Apple will be the Mac Pro. The main culprit, as was the case with the Xserve, is slow sales. Which all makes perfect sense but doesn't address the deeper question of why sales are slow for the Mac Pro. After all, who has ever lusted after a slower Mac?
The quick answer is that the Mac Pro just doesn't make financial sense for many folks anymore. To get a good feel of what that means we have to step back in time, to the mid nineties.
If you were a graphic designer in 1995 and a heavy Photoshop user you were familiar with the wait. For younger readers the following will seem crazy but here's the way it worked in olden times: You'd apply a filter to your image and then Photoshop (or some other program) would go about the business of actually transforming your image. This could take some time and "some time" could range anywhere from 15 minutes to weekend for a really complicated change.
There are some jealous designers out there right now. They are thinking "Ma, if my compy would take 4 or 5 hours to apply an effect I'd have plenty of free time for the internet, games and paying my bills online! It would be a dream come true!" Sadly, you're mistaken. In the olden days Mac couldn't multitask very well if at all so while your Mac was chugging away you were locked out of it.
In those days, if you were being held up by your Mac, it made a lot of sense to run right out and buy a new Mac when the processor speed doubled. You'd get close to twice as much work done. You could charge less, have happier clients and make more money.
These days even heavy duty graphic designers don't find themselves held up much by their Macs. Photoshop times are measured in seconds instead of hours so the time and money savings aren't nearly as great as the used to be. The trend isn't new, in the days of Classic Mac OS the gap between the entry level Mac and the high end Mac easily justified the price difference. For example, a $10,000 Mac IIfx was more than 10 times as fast as the $1,000 Mac Classic.
Which brings up the value question. Is the Mac Pro a good value? You get easy expansion and a top of the line Mac but it comes with a hefty premium. But this isn't the olden days where your top of the line wasn't surpassed in performance for two or three years and when the Mac you dropped big dough on it was surpassed by the next top of the line Mac. With modern Macs the Mac Pro will be the fastest Mac around until the next iMac comes out. The price for premium performance is just too high.
Expect some wailing and gnashing of teeth when Apple does pull the pull the plug on the Mac Pro but don't expect a ton of people to really care. Take the grand or two you save buy buying an iMac and get some Apple stock instead. You won't regret it.

We wrote about Project Agape, a new startup that is applying viral principles to altruism and social causes, in late March (“Project Agape” is a working name for the service, it is yet to be formally named). Today, the service is launching as one of the initial Facebook Platform partners.
The company was founded by Sean Parker and Joe Green and is designed to help social causes – charities, religions, political parties and candidates, etc.
Integration with Facebook is very, very deep, which isn’t surprising given the founders connections to Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s founder and CEO. Parker was Facebook’s founding President, and Green was Zuckerberg’s college roomate.
Facebook already has a popular “groups” application, and many social causes are represented as a group. Groups, however, don’t let users do much more than join. With Agape, users can create causes, take donations, and recruit members. Whenever someone creates a cause or joins one, it shows up in their news feed for their friends to see. Information about the cause is also included in the profile itself, including total amount raised by that user and new users recruited.
There’s a multi level marketing approach, too. Any money donated by other users you’ve recruited is also included in your “money raised” total (see top image). Gaining status by recruiting members and getting donations will be a big incentive for users to not only join a cause that they feel strongly about, but will also get them to participate on an ongoing basis.
I spoke with Green and Parker and asked them why they decided to show their service to the public for the first time via Facebook instead of launching on their own site. The answer: Facebook has a huge and active user base (20 million users, each viewing 50 pages daily on Facebook), and they are a demographic that is highly likely to want to become involved actively in causes they believe in. The hugh popularity of Facebook Groups is evidence of this, they say.

A graphic interface bypasses the verbal and appeals directly to the visual
Paul Graham is an essayist, programmer, and programming language designer. He can be contacted at www.paulgraham.com/. This classic article first appeared in AI Expert, October 1988.
A user interface is an unusual sort of program because its success depends on emotional appeal. Emotional appeal doesn't ordinarily enter into our judgments of software. We judge a compiler according to more objective considerations, such as its speed and robustness and the speed and robustness of the code it generates. With interfaces, the rules are different.
The user interface is often the least sophisticated element of a program but the one users most care about. For the programmer, this means a relatively small amount of effort can make a program more appealing.
The biggest payoff, as software developers are discovering, is in graphics. A graphic interface by-passes the verbal and appeals directly to the visual. And anyone who has seen a video game knows how much more quickly visual information is assimilated. Who could play a real-time video game in which the state of the game was displayed as a screen of text?
This article discusses how to write graphic interfaces for LISP programs. It includes most of the code necessary to attach graphic objects -- dynamically updated graphic representations -- to LISP data structures. The code can be used to make a wide variety of programs more appealing to the front end of nearly any LISP program in a matter of hours.
This code runs under Common LISP with a very simple window system. If your LISP doesn't support windows, the code will work if you simply eliminate all references to them. It could easily be adapted to run under some other other lexically scoped LISP (such as Scheme), but it depends too heavily on lexical scoping to run under dynamically scoped dialects.
The Aim
This article will discuss graphic interfaces with an object-oriented flavor. To say that the things we're going to make will be objects is to say that:
Each will be a discrete collection of LISP functions (or "methods") that entirely defines its behavior.
Each will be an instantiation of some archetypical object.
Each will act of its own accord; after we've defined an object, we won't have to think about it again; each object will update itself and, if necessary, any other objects, dynamically.
A concrete example will make all this clearer. Using the code given here, we will be able to define a type of graphic object called a "dial". We will then be able to make instances of dials as we need them, attaching them to LISP objects simply by saying attach, dial, and where we want the dial" attached: Once we have attached a dial to something, the dial will henceforth display its value. As the value stored in the LISP object changes, the needle of the dial will move automatically.

Her eyes convey a kind of benign ferocity, a flicker of knowingness that’s jarring in a 33-year-old. But then again, for all her youth, Ma is carrying an unlikely burden: the aspirations of 1.3 billion people.A Beijing-born, New York-seasoned artist, Ma is part of the seven-member creative team masterminding China’s great coming out party–the opening ceremony of next year’s Beijing Olympics. Leading her group is acclaimed filmmaker Zhang Yimou (Hero, House of Flying Daggers, Curse of the Golden Flower); celebrated artist Cai Guo-Qiang (New York’s Museum of Modern Art, London’s Tate Modern, an upcoming retrospective at the Guggenheim) is also on board. But, younger than her colleagues by a generation or so–and with an artist’s résumé that includes a video work, projected onto a tousled bed, of a woman engaged in what she politely calls “self-comfort”–Ma is emblematic of a newer, edgier China. The opening ceremony will no doubt be a G-rated affair, but when the Olympic torch finally arrives in Beijing next year, Ma wants to smoke out your clichéd ideas about her country–and those of your 4 billion fellow viewers–right along with it. “We’re going to try to keep the ribbon dancing to a minimum,” she says. “Whatever we end up doing, the bottom line is to showcase the innovation of the Chinese people. Everyone wants to project a very modern image–one that will stun the world.”China is not content to serve as factory to the globe. Call it economic foresight, or cultural pride, but despite the stratospheric growth of its economy–10.7% last year–China knows that cheap labor alone can’t sustain the boom. While a flurry of activity (and, yes, a government five-year plan) has stressed scientific and technological innovation, look a little closer and you’ll see that creativity in art and industry–in design, fashion, media, and the like–is fast becoming a driving national mission.Look past the behemoth Three Gorges Dam, past a highway system that will be larger than America’s by 2020, and China is building a creative infrastructure, too, at breakneck speed. You can sense it in the trendy restaurants and slick boutiques popping up in major cities–and in the gritty ex-warehouse and factory districts where imagination-driven companies are joining the cafés and art galleries that first settled in. Newsstands are brimming with glossies such as Vision, Urban, and Modern Weekly that, joined by online counterparts like Coldtea, feature international trends alongside promising local talents. China’s answers to YouTube (Tudou and Yoqoo) and social-networking sites (Douban)–along with an estimated 34 million (and skyrocketing) blogs–are bringing in digital reinforcements on a national scale. | 2024-11-08T01:26:26 | en | train |
