Qual'è l'audience di Current ?
Ieri sera ho cercato di guardare Current sul canale Sky dalle 19 in poi. Volevo vedere questa famosa diretta i 6 ore che sembra non faccia nessuno, una sorta di innovazione assoluta nel campo della comunicazione multimediale. Non ci sono riuscito, nonostante la buona volontà, l'impegno, la compagnia di alcuni amici, l'aperitivo, un comodo divano.
E' stato più forte di me dopo circa 40 minuti ho abbandonato ed ho guardato Fox Crime.
Riproverò lunedi.
Da quello che ho visto mi è sembrato tutto nello stile Current: noioso.
Dai finti collegamenti con la complementare ed alternativa diretta radio, agli argomenti, alla scelta, allo stile in cui venivano trattate le notizie, all'inutilità assoluta dello stacco sulle parole più ricercate, al siparietto sui blog.
Una diretta che poteva benissimo essere registrata, con il lancio di pod spesso inglesi, segno che in Italia non si è prodotto quasi nulla, senza nessuna pertinenza con gli argomenti trattati superficialmente prima. Un contenitore vuoto.
Una domanda semplice, semplice: è possibile sapere qual'è l'audience del canale Sky di Current ?
L'ho già chiesto molte volte, ma non ho ottenuto nessuna risposta. Ci riprovo: quante persone guardano Current e qual'è il tempo medio di permanenza sul canale ?
Per quale assurdo motivo questi dati sono tenuti segreti ? Ieri sera ho cercato di guardare Current sul canale Sky dalle 19 in poi. Volevo vedere questa famosa diretta i 6 ore che sembra non fa... more -

Sky told to hand over footy and film rights
The UK's media regulator Ofcom has told Sky it should offer to sell rights to football games and Hollywood films to other broadcasters at a fair price.
The investigation into pay TV was begun after complaints were made by BT, Virgin, Setanta and Top Up TV. Ofcom reckons that consumers make their choices of which service to go with based on content not the features of different platforms. Big films and live Premiership games are a big draw for viewers and Sky has "market power" in these areas.
This I would like to see. Hopefully consumers will have a wider and better choice than Sky. The UK's media regulator Ofcom has told Sky it should offer to sell rights to football games and Hollywood films to other broadca... more -

Pollution has a Solution in Beijing
July 21, 2008—The skies above Beijing, China, appear relatively clear of pollution in this Terra satellite image.
With just weeks to go before the August Olympic Games, Chinese officials have scrambled to put pollution control methods into effect.
The country has banned automobiles on alternate days, halted construction projects, and even shuttered factories. The restrictions, which are scheduled to last two months, are expected to reduce emissions by 60 percent.

The moon gets bigger today
Get ready to experience the moon illusion. The solstice moon will rise later today looking much bigger than usual. That is because the full Moon is coming only two days before the beginning of northern summer when the sun is highest in the sky, giving us a low horizon-hugging moon and a stronger big moon illusion...
"Apparently, only human beings see giant moons.
Are we crazy?
After all these years, scientists still aren't sure. When you look at the Moon, rays of moonlight converge and form an image about 0.15 mm wide on the retina in the back of your eye. High moons and low moons make the same sized spot, yet the brain insists one is bigger than the other. Go figure." Get ready to experience the moon illusion.

Space Spotters Scoop Spy Satellite's Sunset
"From his 23rd-floor balcony, or the roof of his 32-floor building, Mr. Molzcan will peer through his binoculars at a point in the sky he expects the satellite to cross, which he locates with star charts. When the moving dot appears, he determines its direction and the distance it travels across the patch of sky over time, which he can use to calculate its speed.
...
'There are people who look at train timetables and go watch trains,' he said. People are drawn to what interests them, he said, and 'it’s what draws people to any hobby.'
While recent news coverage has focused on the current satellite’s threat to people when it falls from above, that threat is, statistically, very small. Even when the space shuttle Columbia broke up over Texas five years ago and rained debris over two states, no one on the ground was injured.

Rudolph Can Take Christmas Off This Year
Mars is going to be unusually bright and the moon will be shining in full on Christmas Eve, making the night sky so bright that Santa likely won't need the guidance of his reindeer's shiny red nose.
And scientists have re-written the famous reindeer song for the momentous occasion!
"Mars is a red-tinged planet
With a very shiny glow
And if you look to see it
You will find the moon in tow.
All of the other Yuletides
Santa would have at his side
The shiny nose of Rudolph
Acting as his big sleigh's guide
But this very Christmas Eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph, now with Mars so bright,
You can stay at home tonight."
Then all the reindeer teased him.
And they shouted out with glee:
"Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
Outsourced to astronomy."
oh, scientists. hehehe. Mars is going to be unusually bright and the moon will be shining in full on Christmas Eve, making the night sky so bright that Santa ... more
