    I wonder if the story is true. If so it's a highly evocative example of the digital preserving traces of the dead.

GTA V to Skyrim: the ten most beautiful walks in gaming | Tech | The Guardian - 8 views

  •  
    Thinking of gaming as an immersive, and aesthetic experience.
  •  
    Following the article above I found another interesting article directly linked to gaming aesthetics and their introduction to the short film genre with the use of in-game footage (the festival was last year): http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-10/16/other-places-andy-kelly The Videos are worth a watch. Other articles on wired.co.uk are also worth a look. EDIT: http://www.otherplaces.co.uk/ ----> For a longer list of short beautiful videos consisting of ingame footage.

W&V: "Bitcoin ist dem derzeitigen Finanzsystem überlegen" - 0 views

  • Diese Technologie ist meiner Meinung nach dem derzeitigen Finanzsystem überlegen. Bitcoin – oder jedenfalls etwas auf Grundlage derselben technologischen Struktur – wird langfristig Zahlungsmittel wie etwa Kreditkarten ersetzen.
  • Nach Berechnungen von Goldman Sachs würde der Gebrauch von Bitcoin allein in den  USA zu Einsparungen in Höhe von etwa 165 Milliarden Dollar pro Jahr führen.

Interviewing For The 'World's Toughest Job' - Digg - 2 views

  • Wait until the end. This takes a turn and you're going to want to call home afterward.
  •  
    In one way this is just another viral video. In another, I would say it is a nice example of how emotions can be transferred via the web. It is an fake-interview via some skype-like software in which people are being pranked. At the end though, it shows very well how emotions might be carried not only within the video but also to the viewer.
  •  
    Yes, and it's also a piece of viral marketing, showing how companies are getting better and better at using this format to elicit and manipulate emotions. Which is not to take anything away from the power of webcams to transfer emotions.
