But we've never seen them. Even now we probably won't really get to see them on the big screen. The first clone war begins at the end of Episode II and the last is reported to end in Episode III, probably (this is speculation on my part, so don't spoil it, anybody who has specific knowledge) early so that the story can focus on the fall of Annakin Skywalker. But we have the unique chance to see the Clone Wars on the small screen, either TV or computer. Lucas contracted to have a clone war cartoon series made by cartoon action-master Genndy Tartakovsky (known for such action-oriented toons as The Powerpuff Girls and the visually-stunning Samuari Jack) for Cartoon Network. The results turned out well enough that Lucas asked Tartakovsky to go back to the drawing board and do a sequel clone war cartoon series that would lead directly in to Episode III. In fact, the final shot of the last animated clone war toon is supposed to be the same as the opening shot of Episode III (immediately after the roll-up). Events in the second clone war toon series also directly set the stage for the Episode III roll-up, which refers to events occurring in the second animated series, conferring on this at least a semi-canonical status (unlike the rest of the "Expanded Universe" materials). This presents Episode III spoiler-avoiders with a unique If you wanna do that, how do you go about doing it? Well, chapters 1-20 are now out on a DVD called Star Wars: Clone Wars, Volume 1. You can also read a brief, spoiler-light summary of them here. Chapters 21-25, the ones that immediately set the stage for Episode III aren't on DVD yet (and I haven't been able to find out when they will be) BUT, for a limited time only, you can For those who care about such things, here is my non-spoiler review of the two series: The first twenty chapters were produced as 3 1/2 minute segments which, together, form a story 69 minutes long. The need to have each 3 1/2 minutes form a self-contained chapter severely hampers story development and tilts the series too heavily toward action rather than plot or character development, though Star Wars fans will still want to see the series. In my opinion the series gets better as it goes, with more plot and character development occuring as it progresses. The action also gets better, and the climax of Annakin's personal arc is particularly effective, as it is clear he is still moving toward the Dark Side. The second series of five episodes has chapters that are twelve minutes long (for a total of an hour), and this makes a night-and-day difference. Suddenly there is far more room for plot and character development, and the second series is far superior to the first. The series is more richly-drawn, both metaphorically (better character development) and literally (better animation). The backgrounds are particularly good (even though I saw them on a 2" x 3" screen). There are significant bits of Jedi lore that are filled in, and the climactic battle that sets the stage for Episode III really has some surprisingly dramatic action, including intense and creative light saber work that I'm hoping they copy (or even surpass) on the big screen. |

Terri Schiavo, Andrew and the "F-Word"
The death of Terri Schiavo was, to me, an incredible act of inhumanity. I grieve for the crime committed against her and my heart goes out to the family that loves her so deeply. I also grieve for our country. Not only because those in authority stood by impotently while unwise judges condemned this woman to starve to death, but because I begin to see the "f-words" raining. Maybe only a drop or two now; but soon a drizzle, then the storm. How long will it take before we are immune to the cries of the defenseless? How long before a judge deems the "quality" of an Alzheimer patients life to be low enough that they should be "allowed" to die? How long before the mentally handicapped are questionable? Extreme? Of course it is! But many things acceptable began as the unthinkable. We no longer hear the cries of the unborn. We're immune. |
How stupid CopyRight Law and bad DRM block You from your own Content Clay Shirky tells Boing Boing his tale of woe: He wanted to Transcript a talk he gave online. A friend had recorded the talk and made him a copy on a DVD. He needed to convert it to AVI format (used by his my transcription service), and what happened? He got an error message, which read: "To comply with copyright laws, DVD device input is not allowed." Except he's the copyright holder. There are no issues here, or should be non. No moral, ethical or legal issues. But it will not allow him to do it. I think he saw red (with reason) : Got that? I am in possession of a video, of me, shot by a friend, copied to a piece of physical media given to me as a gift. In the video, I am speaking words written by me, and for which I am the clear holder of the copyright. I am working with said video on a machine I own. Every modern legal judgment concerning copyright, from the Berne Convention to the Betamax case, is on my side. AND I CAN'T MAKE A COPY DIRECTLY FROM THE DEVICE. This is because copyright laws do not exist to defend the moral rights of copyright holders -- they exist to help enforce artificial scarcity.He did figure another way to get the transcript he wanted. Maybe he figured another way around to convert it? Remember DRM doesn’t work; it only makes it inconvenient to the law-abiding and the non-technical. But that's him. What if you made a home movie of you child and wanted to share it with your parents. Or you parent’s wanted to share it with someone else. Could you or your parents figure another way around the restrictions of your of copyright material. The consumer electronic equipment manufactures have hard coded a set of assumptions, made into rules, into which only allows BIG CONTENT PRODUCERS to convert and manipulate all of this digital media. Why because your supposed to be a CONSUMER, not a producer of your own media, entertainment and information. Your not allow to be a copyright holder. If your trying to do something like backup or copy your home movies, you get treat like a pirate. Lots more under : DRM/CopyRight |

Wanna say anything for the camera? Professor: Like wha-at? Dave: I dunno, how about the people who died on 9-11? Professor: Oka-ay, but you gotta promise my Board of Regents isnt gonna see it. They were targeting those people I referred to as 'little Eichmanns.' These were legitimate targets. Dave: That was wild! Professor: Woo! I am so wasted! Dave: Hey, how about, um, showing us your tenure? Professor: ohhh kay . Dave (to camera): Are you guys getting this? From the icy cold slopes of Colorado, Dave travels to the Lone Star State to check out the action on Padre Island and the annual International ANSWER Wet Manifesto Contest! Sounds like this uninhibited journalism prof from the University of Texas has had one too many Tequila Shooter! Dave: Hi, were filming a movie whats your name? Professor: Robert and I wanna say Hook Em to all my antiwar comrades back in Austin! Wooo! Wooooooooooooo! Wooo, yall! Wooooooo! Victory to the Iraqi resistance! Dave: I heard you UT profs were lightweight airheads. Bet you cant recite an anti-American polemic and touch your elbows behind your back at the same time! Professor: Oh yeah? Well, look at this, Mister Smartypants. My primary anger is directed at the leaders of this country... [Sept. 11] was no more despicable as the massive acts of terrorism the deliberate killing of civilians for political purposes that the U.S. government has committed during my lifetime.

Snoop: Man, you is one crunk b*tch. Where'd you get that pizimped-out Audi? Professor #2: My daddy bought it for me. Under capitalism, we can't have democracy by definition.

I think that the Iraq election is being run with Main Street, U.S.A., more in mind than Main Street, Baghdad, and for them to get away with saying such things depends on our collective gullibility. Professor #2: (giggle) You think that's naughty? I think Israel is a military base for the rising predatory empire of the United States! mmm... Professor #3: (giggle) Oh, yeah, II personally want to see a million more Mogadishus, mmm... (giggle) Dave: Okay, lets see those tenures... show off those grants... Professors: giggle!

Converting Videos (MP4) - nothing so far... Non .Net content to follow. Normal proramming will resume after this post. In a previous post, I lamented about the fact I cannot convert my MP4 video files created on my PDA (XDA IIs) into anything useable (tjhat includes sound!) that I can burn to VCD/DVD. Well I still have not had any success, and it seems neither have many other people, but I have learnt a lot about making VCD's/DVD's so I thought I'd share. Using free software requires a bunch of software to put it all together. I have listed most of them below. 1. When making a DVD, use DVD-R discs, instead of DVD+R. Dont know why, but only a few players would play DVD's I made with DVD+R discs. My XBox wasn't one of them. When I burnt the same ISO images with DVD-R discs, both my XBox and all the DVD's I previously tested on worked. 2. To make the video, I used either Windows Movie Maker or Photo Story. Both are great apps and did what I wanted. There are many better commercial offerings but these apps are great value and produce some great clips. 3. Get yourself a copy of CDBurnerXP Pro. Its free and is worth it just for the help file. Its simple and gets you up and running easily. 4. Get yourself a copy of DVDStyler. Again its free, allows you to create DVD menus but more importantly, seems to re-process/sample the MPG/video file that is created and basically makes it work. I had many difficulties playing the completed DVD when I didn't use this program to re-process the MPG/Video file so now I put some menu on regardless. 5. Get a copy of TMPGenc. You can convert to/from many different formats, and has preset templates to convert to VCD/SVCD/DVD in various formats. 6. If you dont use the CDBurnerXP Pro I mentioned above to burn the actual CD/DVD, get a copy of DVD Decrypter. This does a great job of DVD burning, and for the more DVD/VCD technicaly savvy, has about 1 million options you can fiddle with. For me, I load the ISO file, press the button to burn the disk. Done. So my initial quest of converting some of my videos from my PDA is still unsuccessful, however I have taken a sidetrack and will be porting some of my large digital photo collection to viewable DVD. I am still hopeful on finding something and will post any success I have here. |

Reasonable Intellectual Property Policy The United States intellectual property policy is so far out of whack to be almost laughable, unless of course you were sentenced to jail for downloading a song - not funny at all then. Sound far fetched? It’s not, that’s what S.B. 3021 was all about - and it was passed by the U.S. Senate on November 20, 2004. Luckily procedural problems that kept it from becoming law, but you can bet it will be back - and then even first time offenders can be sent of to prison with murderers and rapist for 5 years! Does anyone one except big media and politicians influenced by big media think that downloading a file from the Internet is as serious a crime as rape? Of course not, but the United States Senate passed a bill that would make those two crimes equal in terms of prison sentences. Okay, so you don’t download music from peer to peer networks and think that artists should get money for their music. So do we, so do most people. In fact the RIAA/MPAA use various strawman arguments to try and make anyone that is for sensible IP policy look like a thieving pinko maniac - when the fact is that they are the ones that have the extremists views on this issue. How about this - you buy a DVD and want to let your kids use it, but want to make a backup of it in case they scratch it. The software is available to back it up, hardware too, and if you read the fair use provisions of our current laws you are well within you rights to do so. But guess what - if you make that copy, of a DVD that you legally purchased, you are a criminal in the eyes of these big media moguls and their lobbyist. How about if you use your legal Tivo to skip commercials? According to former Turner Broadcasting CEO Jamie Kellner, “Because of the ad skips…. It’s theft” and you are a criminal. If you are a long time reader of OMB you know that we are not in favor of wholesale file swapping, have never endorsed a P2P app, and only feature free, legal downloads on the site. We love music and want artists to get paid for it. But this is not about music. It’s about big media producers trying to maintain their monopoly on the content distribution industries and to continue producing mostly crappy music and movies while screwing ( all but the biggest ) artists that actually create the content that we all love. Throughout history business haved tried to stifle new technologies - from the indroduction of player pianos to terrestrial radio to VCR’s - the content companies claimed each time that these technological advanced would put them out of business and “ruin music”. Of course we all know that in each case the opposite happened. Radio feeds CD and concert ticket sales. VCR’s launched a revolution in legal home video viewing making the movie companies more money then their “theatrical” releases. So while are not advocating “stealing” content, we do think that you should download all of the free, legal music you can get your hands on - as well as standing up for your fair use rights. Click on over to Jailed for a Song and then to IPac and do what you can to make sure that this country returns to some semblance of a sensible intellectual property policy. Join us in trying to help ensure that our fair use rights are protected and that the U.S. is not left out of the next era of technological advances just to please the current monopolizers of content distribution and their cronies in Washington. |
Mercilessly copying |
Google's Gmail notably turns 1 on it's birthday today. Google in the latest round of slinging laughable pun back to Yahoo's Mail, today launched its top secret "Infinity+1 Email Storage" for Gmail users. No kidding... 
It’s big. It’s bad. And it’s back for more. Got a problem with that?
