This title is held in the Free Culture Forum 2011 an interesting round table in the center Arts Santa Monica organized by Francis George , attended by film director Alex de la Iglesia , Juan Carlos Tous platform streaming movies Filmin , The Activist Amparo Peiro , the Internet entrepreneur Eudald Domenech of InOut TV and attorney Joseph Jover .

The technology will bring the work of an author to his audience:
For some time now we have tools to process a product as simple as text, quality tools now exist to process a more complex product such as music, quality, and we shall soon be able to process even more complex a product as video with the same quality.

The heterogeneity of the panelist suggested by Paco George, allowed to show a clear picture of the current state of cinema over the Internet.

Emphasising the block exerted by intermediaries for distributing the work between the producer and consumer. Clinging to its traditional business model, that for example you can not see a movie on the Internet "legally" until 22 months after its theatrical release, to movie theaters, video stores, sales of DVDs and passes by Pay TV and monetize the successive open windows operating the product.

Another textbook case, where demand is not an offer to your liking.

People want to see a movie when it opens, not 22 months later. But consumption is not allowed in a commercial manner. People "Pirates" movies basically because there is no way to use, paying for it.

When demand goes one way and another offer is that the players in the industry want to divert all the water to his mill. But what people demand is evident, and always ends up imposing any market demand.

Just as he resisted the music industry, and this resistance until the fine of the book, the film industry does not want to change the business model that has given so much money.

But the technology will allow this, as in many other sectors, eliminate middlemen who do not provide added value to the product:

If in a while it was possible for anyone autoeditara books and other writings, and now is likely to occur self their records, the constant technological advances should allow video editing drastically reduce its costs to offer products similar quality to that offered by the majors now.

Making a film is now very expensive, and you can not make progress without industry money (something like what happened years ago with the recording industry, where anyone can now create their discs with similar quality) and that makes this exert greater control over the product, which makes you can not see a movie on the Internet at the same time it opens in the cinema.
At least in Spain, because big American monsters as video streaming Netflix deal enough money to provide funds for the filming of the movie and make sure they can begin to exploit the Internet at the same time it is released in cinemas.

Saturday was held in La Seu d'Urgell the 4th edition of the Tubes Pads Catalunya, where Receptes.cat was one of three finalist in the category blogs kitchen gastromía and enology.

Among the three finalists in the category by popular vote, the jury chose as winner of Receptes.cat Pads Tubes Catalunya 2011.

I want to congratulate the other two blogs finalists for its quality, and thank everyone who voted for us to be finalists and winners declared avenos jury.

I also want to thank the fantastic STIC.cat for its work with the organization of these awards.

Re-I undertake my collaboration with the " L'Altra Radio "National Radio of Spain, the oldest program on telecommunications and media culture, which this season will air every Friday at nine o'clock at night and re-issue the Sunday at twelve o'clock.

My collaboration that you can hear the second week of each month treat various aspects of the Knowledge Society.

Miquel Murga, director and host of Weekend magazine "The millor ... de l'estiu" issued by National Radio interviewed me Sunday to tell him about the recipe site Receptes.cat

You can listen to the program in the radio section to the letter of RNE.

The " Empenta "Com Radio entrepreneurs who run Pau Garcia-Mila and Jordi Collell (of EyeOS) aimed at the dissemination of ideas and projects, highlighting the project has considered Receptes.cat

You can listen to the program or download the audio file from the website of the station Radio Com.

The search for funding is often key to developing a start-up.
And this goes through three levels of investors in the degree of development of the project and needs money;

1. FFF
2. Businnes angels
3. Venture capital

The three Fs: f riends, f amily and f ulls are the way to raise money in your immediate environment to bring up the idea.

If the thing up, and we need more resources come into play bussiens angels, investors who can contribute their capital if the business idea sounds interesting.
These cover the space between the contributions of those closest to help us implement the project and venture capital funds that invest in a project if it is a very large volume of money.

Finally, the VC (venture capital) invested in projects when they are already in a phase that require large sums of money.

That is usually the time when the angels bussines companies withdraw from collecting their winnings.

In each of these capital increases the percentage of the company in the hands of the entrepreneur "dissolves". Besides pressure from investors, who demand performance, is a factor to consider, so many entrepreneurs do not recommend raising money in a round of funding, if not strictly necessary.

Emilio Marquez has invited me to the session of Active Networking being held today in Madrid to present my experience in Alpinaut.com , but I will be unable to attend.

The format of these "Working Breakfast" is to collect a maximum of 12 experts in a topic to share knowledge and create synergy in this case in relation to the "Management of forums and online communities"

Once the event is collected in a highlights document as key ideas and conclusions.

The event will be repeated in Barcelona and I hope to attend this time.

The first installment of my collaboration in the audiovisual culture program " L'Altra Radio "Radio Nacional of Spain in Catalonia will air this Sunday at twelve o'clock for Catalonia.

It spoke of how consumption is changing the radio with the arrival of the podcast, and explains how to use it.

I thank the director and presenter of the program, Belt T-shirt, which has had with me to be part of one of the oldest programs in the Spanish broadcasting. And I hope to live up to the magnificent specialists who are part of the team.

Much has been said of the new capabilities of Firefox 4, the most obvious to the users is their new more intuitive interface (he had lost a bit of usability in the previous version).
Although for my taste in the new arrangement of tabs, the shortcuts bar should be below the menus, and out of these.

That said, there are many other improvements in the new Firefox, some so subtle that we may go unnoticed ...

Speaking with Pascal Chevrel (Secretary General of Mozilla Europe) tells me that the new Firefox is friendlier to the writing of Anglo-Saxon characters, such as the midpoint of the Catalan geminated.

The improvements are on the one hand to use newer versions of Pango and Cairo libraries that allow rendering sources and partly to improvements in support for OpenType and adding property
CSS -moz-font-settings-feature that allows to exploit its fine binding properties and thus indicate to the page if the Interpunct should behave like a letter or whether it should be considered as a space that would choose a word at the end of a sentence is cut or not Interpunct level to advance to the next line, it should also allow fine way to define its relationship with neighboring points and in particular calculate more evenly
space that separates them.

It is also true that largely depends on the capabilities of the operating system because Pango / Cairo at the end make calls to bookstores in charge of drawing operating system fonts (Window XP/Vista/7, Mac, Linux).

Even as he tells me that they will notice a substantial improvement are the users of non-Latin alphabets.

The digitization of terrestrial television (DTT or DVB-T) assumes that a channel which aired before, now can issue four, and the elimination of the analog signal to that used to live together for "digital switchover", this means that part of the UHF spectrum becomes available.

In the Information Society in which we live this is a precious resource that does not lack suitors.

The European Union had agreements with mobile phone manufacturers to deploy DVB-H (DVB Handheld version) that would watch TV on mobile phones. But it seems that the state will provide the top of the UHF spectrum to mobile operators for 4G services.

The needs of mobile operators are getting older, because users are becoming more and make more intensive use of their phones.
Increase consumption of voice, and a time now, it triggers the consumption data.

European operators began offering its services in the band of 900MHz, but were soon overwhelmed, and when the band was saturated offered their services in the 1800MHz band.

Interestingly, America and Asia operators using GSM-800 variant, which uses the center frequency of 850MHz, i that the European standard could not be used because it is occupied by terrestrial television that ranges from 470 MHz to 862 MHz .
But now, with the off analog and digital streams by placing the low band frequencies of the TV the top of the UHF television is free so that it can operate on mobile operators. As recommended by the ITU frequency range 790-862 MHz should be free in 2015.

Interestingly, this will mean benefits for mobile users, since the frequency of 1800MHz had trouble getting into the buildings over the original 900MHz, and raised new frequencies for mobile telephony were still higher (the higher frequencies are often used to be free to use more modern technology, compared to lower frequency technologies that have been used historically, it being recalled that emits frequencies in the 'old' FM radio)

Phones when they find the saturated 900MHz band changed automatically to 1800MHz, which in the middle of a conversation inside an office in a place where many people are talking on the mobile phone is common for the switch to the frequency higher, with the consequent loss of coverage inside buildings.
But I glad to know that given this new frequency is very close to the original of 900MHZ and allows for better coverage inside buildings. With this new allocation of the digital dividend frequencies produced by the analog switch may be perceived as a significant improvement for mobile phone users.

Of course, these low frequency band that are released may be an advantage for operators, since the use of higher frequencies (such as 1800MHZ) represented a minor extent and consequently an increase in the number of antennas to cover the same territory with a consequent increase in costs that entails.

Good thing we had to bring-DTT.
