I was just thinking about google maps the other day, and how eventually (in 20 years or so) all of the images will probably be live streaming, which would be both awesome and invasive to personal privacy at the same time.

i am not so familiar with the rules, i hope it can stay.
it is a live stream, you can check the code here:

I take it this was a live streaming link only?


Yep. No longer relevant. Time to *discard.

>> ^EndAll:

I'm assuming it was recorded? I'd like to see that sifted. I almost don't want to, but I still do.


It was recorded, but live streaming was $98, and they're going to be asking money for the DVD of the debate.

Which is BS.

even though this is kinda cool (i onyl hear sound though), this should be blogged not sifted.

i don't think live streams, even if they are submitted in flash format (don't know if that is possible), should be submitted as a video. there's a clear difference between live videos and other videos and it creates a couple problems mixing them together on the sift.

>> ^burdturgler:
That sucks. So you can't see the video even by going to NASA's site then?

It's just the browser plugin that doesn't work. I can still use windows media player if I'm feeling particularly perverted. I'm pretty sure VLC could probably handle it too.

Well, since I doubt NASA is going to change their live streaming platform anytime soon .. I can make this a sift talk post instead and promote it every week or so .. so

How about on your blog? Blog posts can be promoted too, you know.


People should definitely contact NASA and complain, this material should be as cross platform friendly as possible.

I'm kind of surprised - NASA used to be very QuickTime oriented.

No, it doesn't work for me because there is no browser on the Mac that can embed windows media. It's a known bug created because Microsoft programmed their hooks for the plugin in a non-standard way. (This info might be out of date.)

Well, since I doubt NASA is going to change their live streaming platform anytime soon .. I can make this a sift talk post instead and promote it every week or so .. so the small fraction of viewers with windows based machines can enjoy it .. or you could return it and let it die it's miserable death in my p-queue .. whichever.

I do think the concept of live feed Sifts is very interesting in any event and this one especially. Sorry you can't enjoy it!

And just a side of awesome .. I got to listen to a wrong "phone call" placed between NASA Mission Control and .. someone (Russian staff aboard the ISS? .. not sure .. these guys never shut up really) while I typed this

Just FYI, you can watch live streams on Hulu which appears to be FOX feed (yes, they added freaking ads)

And CNN live

[EDIT]Sorry I didn't see the techcrunch roundup

Zing!

Thanks Fisty. I think MSNBC may have an unblocked embed that we can use. If not I'll give the Hulu as a last resort.

Also - thanks for the feedback on the picture - I was planning on replacing it with that photo set I did with your mom. It's nice that girdle porn is making a comeback. Ta.

Hey, dag, two things. First, hulu has an embeddable (albeit *blocked) live stream of the Obama Inauguration (http://www.hulu.com/spotlight/obamapresidency) that would go nicely at the top of the Talk Post you will surely be doing during that time. And, second, I think that picture you put of yourself on your bio up there is hurting the Sift. Just, you know, FYI and all.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

FAO BUTTHOLES:

If you read the stuff in the parenthesis above the link, you'll see the link is described as "link to NASA live stream page". Not "here's all the info you need".

SO I WIN ONCE AGAIN!

Next sift up, we'll do multi-channel live streaming, with POV cameras on our heads. For a fee, users will be able take control - MMO style - for PvP battles.


Do I smell a new eSport?

Maybe Lucky can add that for release 3.4?
