    The six touchdowns and 19 of 20 passing for 298 yards is more than enough to elevate USC quarterback Matt Barkley to Pac-12 blog player of the week status. But when you throw in the fact that he set the new standard for career touchdowns in the Pac-12, he's a lock.

    USC's championship bid imploded Saturday afternoon in Tucson, despite the record-breaking efforts of wide receiver Marqise Lee. After the Trojans' 39-36 loss to Arizona, Lee trudged off the field with tears in his eyes. The sophomore wideout caught 16 passes for 345 yards, more than any other Pac-12 receiver before him and fifth-most in FBS history.

    In the hot heat of Arizona, Marqise Lee has caught fire, already boasting 255 receiving yards on 12 catches and one TD, and is nearly the only bright spot for the Trojans, who lead the Arizona Wildcats at the half, 21-13. For USC, the first half - and more accurately, the first quarter - was a regrettable one.

  • Actually, the text above is not exactly analogous to the terms on which we bargain with every mouse click. To really polish the analogy, I'd have to ask this magazine to hide that text in the margin of one of the back pages. And I'd have to end it with This agreement is subject to change at any time. What we agree to participate in on the Internet isn't a negotiated trade; it's a smorgasbord, and intimate facts of your life (your location, your interests, your friends) are the buffet.
  • By reading this agreement, you give Technology Review and its partners the unlimited right to intercept and examine your reading choices from this day forward, to sell the insights gleaned thereby, and to retain that information in perpetuity and supply it without limitation to any third party.
  • Facebook then responds to the inevitable public outcry by restoring something that's like the old system, except slightly less private.

  • pricing out the net present value of a decision whose consequences are far in the future.
  • No one would take up smoking if the tumors sprouted with the first puff.
  • "intermittent reinforcement."
  • Give a lab rat a lever that produces a food pellet on demand and he'll only press it when he's hungry. Give him a lever that produces food pellets at random intervals, and he'll keep pressing it forever.
  • Lawrence Lessig pointed out in his book Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace, there are four possible mechanisms:
  • norms, law, code, and markets.
  • If there's one thing the last 15 years of Internet policy fights have taught us, it's that nothing is ever solved by ascribing propertylike rights to easily copied information.
  • Right now, there are two ways to browse the Web: turn cookies off altogether and live with the fact that many sites won't work; or turn on all cookies and accept the wholesale extraction of your Internet use habits.
  • There's a business opportunity for a company that wants to supply arms to the rebels instead of the empire
  • Behavioral scientists have a name for this dynamic: “intermittent reinforcement.” It’s one of the most powerful behavioral training techniques we know about. Give a lab rat a lever that produces a food pellet on demand and he’ll only press it when he’s hungry. Give him a lever that produces food pellets at random intervals, and he’ll keep pressing it forever.
  • But the truth is that dialing down Internet tracking won’t be the end of advertising. Ultimately, it could be a welcome change for those in the analytics and advertising business. Once the privacy bargain takes place without coercion, good companies will be able to build services that get more data from their users than bad companies. Right now, it seems as if everyone gets to slurp data out of your computer, regardless of whether the service is superior.
  • What if mobile OSes were designed to let their users instruct them to lie to apps? “Whenever the Connect the Dots app wants to know where I am, make something up. When it wants my phone number, give it a random one.”
  • Far from destroying business, letting users control disclosure would create value.

  • What the adaptation-extension distinction was intended to address was additive comprehension, a term borrowed from game designer Neil Young, to refer to the degree that each new text adds to our understanding of the story as a whole. So, the Falling Skies graphic novel is a prequel which tells us about the disappearance of the middle brother and thus helps to provide insights into the motives of the characters on the Turner television series. In this case, additive comprehension takes the form of back story, but the same graphic novel also helps us to better understand the organization of the resistance movement, which we can see as part of a world-building process. Most transmedia content serves one or more of the following functions: Offers backstory Maps the World Offers us other character’s perspectives on the action Deepens audience engagement.

  • A franchise can be multimodal without being transmedia — most of those which repeat the same basic story elements in every media fall into this category

  • That’s why shortening transmedia to “a story across multiple media” distorts the discussion.

      This is a key element: we'll need to decide if our story is transmedia or simply multimodal: what's the "additive comprehension" we're aiming to convey?
