Video won't always be opaque to the non-human eye. I know that YouTube is experimenting with automatic subtitles using voice recognition. Also Google does a lot of work with image recognition- won't be long.>> ^spoco2:

Yeah, no issue with Firefox here, worked fine and dandy.
It is interesting indeed and am fascinated to watch how the web morphs along with this.
Of course, there will ALWAYS be those saying 'If you can't read it text only, it doesn't belong on the web'.
To which I say 'fuck off sir' (as it's pretty much always a male).
Sure, sites that have important information that requires access should be able to be read via screen readers etc. But why shouldn't there be exciting and interesting things out there to make our life on the web more interesting.
Do these same people believe that books with pictures should not exist? Or popup books?

Beck is easy fodder and this segment seems to be implying that gold's price is a result of illegitimate fear and not actual currency debasement worldwide. Not even Beck's massive ego can affect the price of gold. Gold began going up years ago when Greenspan lowered interest rates to 1% and blew up the real estate bubble.

http://www.kitco.com/charts/popup/au3650nyb.html

The Fed's continued policy of inflation, the arbitrary creation of dollar units at no labor or material cost, is what is making dollars less scarce relative to gold. Yes, the real estate bubble was allowed to collapse about halfway, but gold continues to rise in anticipation of the banks eventually loaning all that bailout money they received. It can't just sit on the sidelines forever, either it's retracted and we pay the piper, or it's loaned out. The problem with loaning it out is that we may lose key buyers of our debt. A bond is a promise to pay future dollars, and if we are rapidly decreasing their scarcity relative to goods, it becomes a losing proposition to buy bonds at such a low interest rate. Some of the largest purchasers of gold are foreign central banks, which are currently VASTLY underinvested in gold. China has only 1% of its reserves in gold, the rest is paper. India recently bought 200 metric tons.

I will start believing in the gold bubble crowd when I stop seeing those infomercials getting highly indebted Americans to SELL their gold for paper. You talk to the typical person the street, and they're still oblivious to what gold represents, and those that do are not buying, but selling. This is just the beginning of a huge bull run, and it's kind of hilarious to see some people calling the top over and over again. Peter Schiff wrote a funny article in 2006 about what a gold bubble would actually look like.

You may be captivated by the simple formula of a cute girl-next-door who can carry a tune and play the guitar who picks a song from one of the best songwriters of the 50's to cover.
Lubbock, Texas, baby.



Here's a pop-up player with the original tune

Upvote for the fear of heights popup. That gave me the chills.

Meh, those sleazy practices are nothin. It's the damn popups that want you to bug your friends that I hate.

Level 131...

Remember that episode of Star Trek where there was a stupid little addictive game that got passed around? Mafia Wars is like that without the pleasure reward.

1. Add a function for either a non-vote (as opposed to up/down) or simply allow us to keep track of videos we've seen or already clicked on and those we haven't. They could change colour somehow like hyperlinks maybe.

2. Add a way to pop up videos in their own tiny window. i remember asking for this ages ago and it didnt happen but now that I see youtube has this i know i can't be the only one who thinks this is a good idea! Because what I at least tend to do, is if I'm watching a long sift such as a documentary, I'll put it on in the background, and do something else while it's playing. you can already kinda do this in chrome pretty easily by ripping the tab off and squeezing it into a small box and shoving it to the side of the screen, but if there was a simple button to create a neat popup, it'd be so much easier.

3. Add a small drop down menu on each video page, that gives you an option of all the obvious long/short/genres/blocked commands to be posted automatically. Leave it so you can still do it manually too and add some witty comment at the end of it of course. I just think not having such a simple option makes it seem a bit archaic.

^That was another problem...certain porn causes popups on firefox that chrome is able to corral into a new tab. As to keep the memory lower. ctrl+shift+n for incognito mode is awesome. For all of my porn needs I give chrome a rating of DVDA.


It is ctrl+shift+p in firefox, but the privacy mode is kinda different in that it isn't a new window, but it's like a crash / restore tabs method.

Popups shouldn't be happening, I'll look into it. Thanks for letting me know.

In reply to this comment by ReverendTed:
Has anyone else complained of pop-up ads on the Sift?
I got a Classmates ad and a couple of opinioncentral ads popping into new tabs - something that's only happening here.

The popup ads on metacafe are getting ridiculous.
