New York Times launched Adobe Air Desktop Application. I am unbelievably impressed with my first impression of the NYT Adobe Air Desktop Application. Let me rephrase that, I am impressed with the NYT Digital Edition. Because that's what this Adobe Air App is, it's a Digital Edition complete with Multimedia (video, photo, audio and text) as well as clickable hyperlinks, a newspaper layout which resizes up to 5 columns depending on how big you want the app to be on your desktop.There's a front page, the international section, local news, tech and any other section you can image.I am blown away at how effective, smooth, fast and clean this application is. It looks like a newspaper, on my desktop.But the question to answer all is: How will this make money?

Mainstream media and democracy dead by 2014

I am surprised that I have never seen this video before. It is interesting and a true while being a load of codswallop at the same time.The video is titled: Epic 2014It talks of Google and Amazon forming Googlezon while Mircrosoft tries to compete. New York Times competes with Googlezon's new media algorithsms in the supreme court and lose, they subsequently go offline in protest to a hegemony that is dominating media and democracy where everyone has access to everything all the time.I wonder how real this is, will be or can be?Have a look here and here
