Questa è la pagina Amara di sottotitolazione del video originale, che si trova in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-qgVmsV3hM . I sottotitoli o una trascrizione in testo semplice possono essere scaricati da http://www.amara.org/en/videos/XrJl1HLnXmYL/en/632351/ Per altre "Thug Notes" su altri capolavori della letteratura, vedi http://www.youtube.com/user/thugnotes/videos . Questi video non solo sono introduzioni allegramente dissacranti alle opere, quindi utili in lezioni di letteratura, ma anche brillanti esempi di adattamento multimediale.

"Here's the problem: web video is beginning to rival television, but there isn't a good open resource for subtitling. Here's our mission: we're trying to make captioning, subtitling, and translating video publicly accessible in a way that's free and open, just like the Web. Our approach: Make a simple and ubiquitous way to request, create, and translate subtitles for any video Work with others to define open protocols so that whenever subtitles for a video exist, any website or video player will be able to retrieve them Create a community space for people who subtitle video, to encourage contributions and facilitate collaboration" Posted April 13, 2010 by amarasubs.

Se avessi lasciato l'intitolato basato sul tag "title", questo segnalibro sarebbe intitolato: "Subtitles and Captions for Every Video on the Web | Amara - Buy captions, video translations, transcriptions, and crowd subtitling". - con la parte prima del | il titolo del primo post del 13 aprile 2010 del blog di Amara (allora Universal Subtitles": "Sottotitoli tradotti e per sordi per ogni video online" - e con la seconda parte dopo l'|, che dà il titolo attuale del blogo, cioè "Amara - Compra sottotitoli, traduzioni di video, trascrizioni e sottotitolazione di massa" Quite a change...

I am currently investigating file formats for long-term preservation. Obviously they must be free of proprietary ownership and publicly accessible and avoid vendor-locking - even if the vendor is a non-profit organization. What I wonder: which conditions must a video file format fulfill to permit captioning / subtitling? Are there public and open standards of formats for captioning / subtitling? Where do I find them? Can they be enriched with metadata about the author of the subtitles?

""Amara's captioning and translation services have helped Coursera deliver educational videos to hundreds of thousands of students around the world," said Andrew Ng, co-founder of Coursera. "This was key to making our content accessible to non-native speakers, and has allowed our content to be delivered in dozens of languages.""

Queste "pagine nascoste" del blog about di Amara sono strane: un pezzo di codice per embeddare un player con una trascrizione interattiva, comunicati stampa non datati, fra i quali questo: ora la cosa bizzarra è che è da un anno che Coursera ha smesso di usare Amara, e da 10 mesi che ha cancellato il suo team Amara. Il team di Khan Academy c'è ancora, ma è praticamente deserto.

Non è che capisca cosa significhi: ma è una pagina normalmente nascosta del blog about.amara.org il cui link mi è apparso in un momento di connessione lenta, e sembra una cosa interessante: infatti è da oltre un anno che i link sui codici temporali delle trascrizioni generate dai sottotitoli, che dovrebbero consentire la navigazione nel video, non funzionano. Perciò ben venga una trascrizione interattiva funzionante, come su TED.com, DotSUB.com e YouTube.com.

January 22, 2014 | By Katitza Rodriguez "We aren't going to let the NSA and its allies ruin the Internet. Inspired by the memory of Aaron Swartz, fueled by our victory against SOPA and ACTA, the global digital rights community are uniting to fight back. On February 11, on the Day We Fight Back, the world will demand an end to mass surveillance in every country, by every state, regardless of boundaries or politics. The SOPA and ACTA protests were successful because we all took part, as a community. As Aaron Swartz put it, everybody "made themselves the hero of their own story." We can set a date, but we need everyone, all the users of the Global Internet, to make this a movement. Here's part of our plan (but it's just the beginning). Last year, before Ed Snowden had spoken to the world, digital rights activists united on 13 Principles. The Principles spelled out just why mass surveillance was a violation of human rights, and gave sympathetic lawmakers and judges a list of fixes they could apply to the lawless Internet spooks. On the day we fight back, we want the world to sign onto those principles. We want politicians to pledge to uphold them. We want the world to see we care. Here's how you can join the effort: Send an email to rights (AT) eff.org confirming your interest in participating in this action and receiving updates. Let us know what you would like to do in your own country so we can send you more information and amplify your voice. Visit TheDayWeFightBack.org and Take Action.

by Shara Tibken - January 30, 2014 11:10 AM PST "Things are about to get tougher for Apple. Google late Wednesday made an unexpected announcement that it's selling Motorola Mobility to Chinese PC giant Lenovo for $2.91 billion, or less than a quarter of what it paid for the handset vendor just a couple of years ago. During the years Google owned it, Motorola lost money and market share, and the relationship caused tension between Google and the other Android vendors, particularly Samsung. It also led those other phone makers to develop their own software and services, rather than push those from Google. That amplified Android's fragmentation in the market. Overall, Google's purchase of Motorola turned out much better for iPhone maker Apple than for Google. That's now going to change. Google, sans Motorola, can go back to focusing on what it does best -- making a really great operating system and apps. It can mend its relationship with Android leader Samsung and the other vendors. And it can concentrate on unifying and streamlining the Android experience, rather than worry about bolstering its own hardware operations. All of those factors mean that Apple may not be able to win over customers as easily as it has in the past. Related stories: Google sells Motorola unit to Lenovo for $2.9B With Motorola out, can Samsung, Google be BFFs again?

"Wordcounter is a word count and a character count tool. Simply place your cursor into the box and begin typing. Word counter will automatically count the number of words and characters as you type. You can also copy and paste a document you have already written into the word counter box and it will display the word count and character numbers for that piece of writing. Knowing the number of words or characters in a document can be important. For example, if the author is required to write a minimum or maximum amount of words for an article or paper, word counter can help them know if their article meets these requirements. In addition, word counter automatically shows you the top 10 keywords and keyword density of the article you're writing. This allows you to know what keywords you use most often and what percentage each is used within the article. This can help you from over-using certain words in your writing and allow you to make sure you have the correct keyword distribution you're trying to obtain for any article you write. Word counts can also be important in defining typing and reading speeds. Word counter can help determine both of these. Simply set a timer and start typing and when the time is up, you'll instantly know how many words you have typed for that period of time. If you have any questions about word counter, please feel free to contact us here. Disclaimer: We strive to make our word counter as accurate as possible but we cannot guarantee it will always be so."

Contatore di parole online: si scrive o si incolla un testo, e lui ti dà automaticamente il numero, oltre a quello delle parole, dei segni (non so se con o senza spazi però), delle frasi, dei paragrafi, e la lunghezza media delle frasi (in No di parole), nonché la frequenza delle parole chiave più usate. Cioè potrebbe anche essere utile per scegliere tag quando si fa un segnalibro su Diigo ;)

"In Douglas Adams's famous Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series of science-fiction books, interstellar species use Babel fish - "small, yellow, leech-like" creatures that feed on "brain-wave energy" - to translate speech in real time. A team of developers at Google is working on the real thing, using statistical models to translate different languages, including Afrikaans, on the Web and on mobile phones, using voice input and output as well as text. TechCentral sat down with Google Translate research scientist Ashish Venugopal at Google's headquarters in Silicon Valley last week and asked him about the stumbling blocks to effective real-time translation and the future of the technology. This is an edited transcript of that interview. (...).Do you have a team of linguists working all over the world? We have a team of statisticians, all working right over there [points and laughs]. It's less linguistically orientated. There are linguistic ideas that influence our decisions. To give you an example, when I was working on the last set of Indian languages that were launched, I didn't use any linguistic knowledge; I used Wikipedia and my grandmother. So, it's Wikipedia, my grandmother and statistics. That's what we use to put a language together. - Duncan McLeod, TechCentral"

"... Big Data sind vor allem Massen von Informationen, die wie ein digitales Biotop Heerscharen von Propheten hervorbringen, deren Augen bereits in das Morgenrot einer neuen Menschheitsepoche vordringen. Was allerdings auffällt, wenn man sich ein wenig durch den wachsenden Bücher- und Artikelberg zum Thema arbeitet, ist, dass sich die Beispiele für neuartige und spektakuläre Big-Data-Analysen wiederholen. Ganz vorneweg läuft ein Artikel in der Zeitschrift «Nature» aus dem Jahr 2009, der über die Zusammenarbeit von staatlichen Epidemiologen und Google-Mitarbeitern berichtete, die zwischen 2003 und 2008 ein Verfahren zur möglichen Prävention von Grippe-Epidemien entwickelt haben. Sie korrelierten einschlägige Suchmaschinen-Nachfragen nach Grippe-Symptomen, Medikamenten, Antibiotika in bestimmten Regionen mit der Frequenz von Arztbesuchen und stellten damit ein prognostisches Modell für den Verlauf einer Epidemie auf. Zuvor wurden aus mehreren hundert Milliarden Google-Anfragen rund 50 Millionen ausgefiltert, deren Stichworte dem Grippe-Thema zugewiesen werden konnten. Jetzt erlauben es avancierte Rechenverfahren, die Entwicklung einer Seuche beinahe in Echtzeit zu verfolgen und dabei Vorbeugemassnahmen zu treffen. Das Beispiel ist schlagend, vor allem darum, weil es sich unmittelbar ins Reich des Menschheitsheils fügt. Wer will künftig seine Google-Anfragen noch unter Datenschutz stellen, wenn es doch - das oberste Pathosregister ist hier am Platze - um das Leben von Tausenden geht? Die übrigen Beispiele, die die Big-Data-Literatur zur Verfügung stellt, fallen eher in das Feld des smarten Kommerzes. Dass Jeff Bezos, der Gründer von Amazon, seine Bücher nicht von Kritikern anpreisen lässt, sondern den Kunden immer wieder Bücher empfiehlt, die sie eigentlich bereits gelesen haben, ist eine solche smarte Big-Data-Idee. Wer ein Buch über Hühner bestellt, bekommt kurz darauf eines über Hähne empfohlen. Im Prinzip geht es darum, Real-Time-Informa

OK, questa opinione libera è in tedesco, poco insegnato in Italia - poi per giunta è scritta da un professore di letteratura, perciò Google traduttore - se si mette l'URL in http://translate.google.com/ - a volte se la cava sorprendentemente bene, a volte produce parole alla rinfusa.

""A mook? What's a mook?" asks "Johnny Boy" Civello, the fast-talking gambling debtor in Martin Scorsese's 1973 film Mean Streets. For years, "mook" existed in English as an obscure slang term referring to "a foolish, insignificant, or contemptible person" (as Merriam-Webster's Online defines it). According to one Scorsese biographer, Vincent LoBrutto, the term first appeared in 1930 in the work of S.J. Perelman, the well-known writer and humorist. Since then it has occasionally resurfaced-in Mean Streets, for example; and again, around 2000, to classify an emerging class of poor, angry white kids who listen to rap metal. But that particular monosyllable was rarely at the tip of anyone's tongue. Until recently, that is, when college professors began broadcasting their courses to a worldwide audience. They called their courses "MOOCs," which stands for massive open online courses and is pronounced "mooks." Suddenly, that unfortunate syllable could be heard everywhere: in the news and the blogs, at tech conferences and faculty meetings, in legislative hearings and policy proposals. Now, it has been formally enshrined into the English language. Oxford University Press this week inducted "MOOC" into its Oxford Dictionaries Online. The definition: "A course of study made available over the Internet without charge to a very large number of people.""
