Startup web broadcaster Joost signs deal with Warner Brothers

May 11, 2007 Internet TV came one step closer to reality as startup web broadcaster Joost recently announced that it signed a deal with Warner Brothers to host some of its WBTV-branded content. This deal, along with content deals with other television providers, lately Time Warner and Sony Pictures Television, makes Joost (pronounced "juiced") the sweetheart aggregator and provider in the coming on-demand, freely distributed online TV broadcasts.

Joost bills itself as an online community where viewers, "can watch what you want, when you want, in full-screen eye-quality proper TV." The service currently provides about 150 channels, although the availability of some channels varies by country or region due to copyright restrictions. Viewers can navigate screen menus to make programming choices, and then use “widgets” from drop-down menus that allow users to interact with the programming.

"Widgets include a clock, integration of instant messaging, RSS/News feeds and a chat room for the particular channel being viewed on the screen. Users have the ability to opt out of the widgets during viewing or can easily access them from the mouse-activated menus," according to John P. Gamboa of the Dailey Aztec.

The development efforts at Joost are backed by technology-savvy web entrepreneurs Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis. The two used Internet peer-to-peer networking to create Kazaa, and then later Skype. The cutting-edge music file sharing and telephony implementations of these two applications, some say bleeding edge, appear to have had an affect on the approach being used now by the two at Joost along with co-developers. The copyright infringement-plagued Kazaa was sold to Sharman Networks in 2002. Skype was sold to eBay in October 2005 for $2.6 billion. In July last year, Kazaa settled with music record labels by making a $100 million payment as reparations for illegal file sharing activities employed by users of the application that enabled the distribution of copyright-infringed music files.

Kazaa became a copyright bust. Skype became a jaw-dropping hit, and a hit in the jaw of telcom carriers whose management of voice transmission became undermined by the sub-set of Internet users with broadband connectivity and peer-to-peer web awareness. The evolution is distinctively one-way. Online broadband peer-to-peer connectivity is here to stay after a nasty birth.

"People are looking for increased choice and flexibility in their TV experience, while the entertainment industry needs to retain control over their content," said Joost chief executive officer Fredrik de Wahl. "We’ve married that consumer desire with the industry’s interests."

The "marriage" of TV content to "consumer desire" is the hot-spot that media conglomerates are still seemingly trying to figure out as they dispense their less valuable content for Internet consumption. Joost has managed to secure some rights to webcast programming, but the content is not the highest quality broadcasted TV programming currently available through established subscription cable and satellite distribution channels, or even free airwave TV.

Underlying the concept of Internet TV is the distribution of content in a way that is more efficient than the existing model. Peer-to-peer networking over the Internet makes programming available when a user asks for it. The 'on-demand' feature of this approach frees up space in the distribution pipeline and provides feedback to the aggregator to know exactly what is in demand. It gives a middle-man the leverage to negotiate with media conglomerates and then manage a pipeline flooded with unviewed content, thereby conserving bandwidth. It also lets viewers opt for free online TV programming through content arrangements made by the web broadcaster, who acts as a gateway to the programs. However, it is not an advertising-free service.

The Joost hoopla is partly spurred on by its expansionist decision on May 1 to allow users of the Beta version to distribute 99 invitations to other people who could become Beta users.

Canadian government employee faces criminal charges in leak of environment plan

May 10, 2007

A Canadian government employee of Environment Canada was arrested Wednesday for criminal breach of trust with respect to a leak of the Conservative government's green plan days before it was due to be made public.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) arrested the unidentified male employee following a complaint from Environment Canada's security department. The department alleges that a secret draft copy of the government's regulatory framework, Climate Change Section of the Eco-Action Plan, had been leaked to the media prior to being released officially to the public.

"An employee who violates the terms of their workplace security clearance, including the release of secret documents, may be subjected to legal consequences, including criminal charges," said Superintendent Stan Burke, officer in charge of the RCMP's financial integrity division. There was also concern that if the details were leaked, securities laws could be compromised if stock trades were made based on privileged information.

Environment Minister John Baird was forced to reveal details of the government's climate change plan on April 24, in an opinion piece published in the media. The move came after a copy of a speech describing the plan was faxed by mistake, a day earlier, to an opposition Liberal party member and environment critic, David McGuinty. It is not clear whether the police action Wednesday was related to that incident.

The RCMP stated that the matter remains under investigation and, as such, no further details would be released at this time.

Two Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants close in Buffalo, New York, USA

May 11, 2007 At least two Kentucky Fried Chicken [KFC] restaurants, operated by G & H Restaurant Specialties, have closed in Buffalo, New York "for remodeling," according to signs placed on the front doors of at least one location on Elmwood Avenue and Bryant Street in Buffalo. The other KFC is located on East Delavan Avenue, also in the City of Buffalo.

Despite the claim of closing for remodeling, the Erie County Health Department says that several health code violations were found at both locations. The most recent violation was logged by the health department in March at the Elmwood location for failing to keep food stored at correct temperatures. Violations were also cited for failing to keep cooking supplies and equipment sanitary and for not supplying hot water to the bathroom for employees. G & H Restaurant Specialties has not released a statement regarding the violations, but the corporate offices in Louisville, Kentucky for KFC said, "our franchisee has finalized a plan for some structural repairs... The units will be temporarily closed while these building maintenance issues are addressed. [They will be] re-opened as soon as the repairs are complete."

The health department also gave violations out to the East Delevan store for failing to maintain a clean floor throughout the restaurant and for not stopping food from becoming contaminated. Several rat traps were also found inside the storage cooler and around the kitchen area, but the establishment was "not free of rodents," said Commissioner of the Erie County Health Department, Dr. Anthony Billittier.

Billittier also said that caulking and traps were seen on the outside of the East Delevan restaurant, which was an attempt to keep the rats out. "It shows that they're trying to take care of a problem. But it also shows that they have a problem."

As of Thursday, May 10, 2007, the Elmwood KFC has yet to reopen. It is not known if the East Delevan location opened today or not.

New developments in Hrant Dink case

May 10, 2007

Several Turkish daily newpapers have reported new developments in the case of Hrant Dink,  who was the editor-in-chief of the bilingual Turkish-Armenian newspaper Agos. Hirant Dink was gunned down in front of his office on February 19 in Istanbul by Ogün Samast, a 17 year old ultra-nationalist Turk.

According to the Turkish daily newspaper Radikal, Bahattin Hayal told to the public prosecutor that following the killing of Hrant Dink and subsequent arrest of Hayal's son Yasin, as the mastermind behind the killing, he was taken to the Trabzon Security Services. Here he was told by a Turkish police chief that " His son (Yasin Hayal) would now live better. We would write our report accordingly. The flag could be taken from the ground by people like Yasin. He would not receive an heavy punishment with our report. God permits he would be given a light sentence."

On the hand other, Yasin Hayal forwarded five petitions to the public prosecutors' Selim Berna Altay and Fikret Seçen, in February and March of this year and informed them that he was encouraged to kill Hrant Dink  and given directions by Erhan Tuncel, who was a  police informant. Hayal also reported that an officer-in-charge who was working at the Trabzon Security Services visited Hayal and Tuncel prior to the killing and told them that "the Turkish flag had fallen to the ground and people like Erhan and Yasin would raise the flag". In his statement to the Prosecutors, Tuncel reported the same incident and also stated that he had informed the authorities about the assassination plan but the authorities failed to take an action to prevent the killing of Hrant Dink.

The Turkish Public Prosecutors believe that Erhan Tuncel planned the killing of Hrant Dink together with Yasin Hayal and knowingly misled the authorities.

Milliyet, a Turkish daily newspaper reported that Erhan Tuncel in his statement to the Public prosecutors stated that he had informed the authorities 16-17 times prior to the killing. Moreover, Milliyet reported a 48 page report about Erhan Tuncel, prepared by the Security services gone missing.

Exclusive interview with prominent blogger, David Farrar

May 10, 2007

Freelance journalist writing for Wikinews, Gabriel Pollard, with help from Brian Anderton, has interviewed New Zealand-based blogger, David Farrar on blogging, web 2.0, and the Internet in general.

David Farrar is most known for his "fairly popular" blog, Kiwiblog, where he posts on various topics, including politics and technology. He is the vice-president of the Internet Society of New Zealand, and has been involved in helping to split Telecom New Zealand up and in anti-spam legislation.

David Farrar first started using the "best invention ever," Internet, in February 1996 after having owned a BBC Micro microcomputer since 1982. On the Internet he debated various issues using Usenet newsgroups. Kiwiblog now serves for this purpose. He then got his own personal Internet account with ihug in August of that year.

Farrar also has political ties, which can be seen in some of his blog posts. For eight years, Farrar worked for various Prime Ministers (PM) and Opposition leaders for the National Party, working with the likes of former PM Jim Bolger and former PM Jenny Shipley in the Media Services Unit of Ministerial Services.

Until Farrar landed himself a job in parliament, he had been using mainly Apple computers, "[I] finally converted to Microsoft in 1997 after being the only person in Parliament to have a Mac!"

Farrar was involved with introducing public e-mail for ministers, and the first Prime Minister website.

In 2004, after leaving politics, Farrar set up his polling and research company.

Kiwiblog, sparked by now defunct blog NZ Pundit by Gordon King, currently receives over 300,000 visitors a month. He suspects that Russell Brown, and the Spareroom blogs get well over 100,000 visitors. "There’s then probably a dozen or so other bloggers who get into the tens of thousands."

"Gordon [King] would post wonderful polemics challenging the conventional thinking and reporting, and after a few months of reading him I realized that I also had views and could try sharing them with the world. So in July 2003 I made my first post, and enjoyed it ever since."

Farrar admits to not having a deliberate strategy for promoting himself and his blog, he just found that doing more posts in a day and posting what he was interested in got the visitors that were interested in the same things. "Oh and most important of all is to have a sense of humour and enjoy doing it."

If Farrar wasn't blogging, he says he would be "Earning money! I spend far too long blogging when I should be working on more business. However it is doing well enough that I can divide my time up between my business, InternetNZ and blogging and not starve."

Farrar has a few tips for those politicians who have started a blog, or are looking at starting one up, "Very few are successful because [they] treat it as a one way communication tool where they just post press releases or travel diaries. Rodney Hide is the best example of doing it the right way. John Key is video blogging and responding to comments through future videos, which is a different way to interact." But still warns that most readers of blog prefer "honest opinion" instead of reading what the politicians want them to read.

Farrar is a huge supporter of Wikipedia and says that he uses it multiples times a day. He says that he was "very proud" when the Wikipedia community regarded him as notable enough to have his own entry.

"I wish I had more time to edit Wikipedia. There’s lots more NZ content to get onto there."

Sites like YouTube, which Farrar uses daily, show that they can leave big brand names like Google Video for dead if they show strong innovation, Farrar says.

Farrar says the success to websites such as Wikipedia and YouTube is because of multiple user generated content, "...rather than tightly controlled content from one source." The focus on the community at large is also a major factor of their success.

When asked where he sees the Internet in decades from now, his simple response was, "I wish I knew." But he does predict every house in New Zealand will be connected to the Internet via fibre optics.

One scenario Farrar drew was, "...being able to see a map of your local area on your phone, and not just get told where the nearest toilets or bookstore is, but also if any of your friends are nearby."

David Farrar would just like to say thanks for the opportunity of being interviewed on Wikinews.

Blogs he's most addicted to
David Farrar subscribes to literally hundreds of blogs, below are the ones he's most addicted to.
 * Cactus Kate on men, sex and politics.
 * Whale Oil is wonderfully offensive with some great multimedia.
 * Tony Milne on politics national and local.
 * Idiot/Savant is an encyclopedia of info on what is happening in Parliament and politics.
 * You get not just Russell Brown, but also David Slack, Keith Ng and many others.
 * A bunch of female Young Labour bloggers half on their sex lives and half on politics – the perfect mix.
 * Span gives a consistently challenging view of politics from a young female feminist and unionist perspective.
 * TUANZ’s Downstream blog on what is happening in the telco industry.
 * Juha Saarinen - great stories on interesting things.
 * A great joint blog about my home town.

Where does that come from? Is it his own description? That should be made clear...

User talk:213.42.21.56

First off, we really appreciate your contribution.

But sometimes users submit an article from somewhere else, not realizing that Wikinews cannot keep copy-and-paste versions of articles which are published elsewhere under a restrictive copyright. An article created in this way is a copyright violation, and Wikinews policy is to erase these even if they are excellent article ideas.

Another problem which sometimes comes up is press releases: Press releases are sometimes excellent sources, but they do not qualify as unbiased news articles so they can't be published as they are. Two key things to remember about press releases is that they're usually written to represent the viewpoint of an involved party (Thus likely running foul of our Neutral Point of View policy). And second, they are generally covered by copyright which can conflict with our open editing approach.

A better way to get an article on an exciting subject published here is to write an original article following the guidelines described in writing an article, or to write a brief explanation of the subject and include the url address of articles or websites to use as sources. If you are part of the story that the article is about, you may also wish to consider requesting an interview rather than writing the article yourself.

Thanks again! --Mark Talk 09:24, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

British Prime Minister Tony Blair to resign on June 27

May 10, 2007 British Prime Minister Tony Blair has told the Cabinet of the UK government the date when he will stand down from office and allow his successor to take over as leader of the Labour party, and thus Prime Minister, in a private meeting.

"The prime minister started cabinet by acknowledging that it wasn't quite a normal day. He confirmed that he would be going to his constituency. He confirmed that he would make an announcement. He also confirmed that announcement would be about his intentions and that those intentions had not changed," said the official spokesman for Blair.

Just before 11:00 a.m. local time he arrived at Teeside Airport, England, on his way to his parliamentary constituency of Sedgefield, where he was expected to publicly announce his resignation, to fulfill a promise to his constituents that they would be the first to know news of his departure.

Blair arrived at the Trimdon Village Labour Club in Sedgefield at 11:25 a.m. where he was greeted by supporters with banners and a large international media presence. At midday he made a speech that named 27 June 2007 as the date when he will officially step down as prime minister.

It is widely reported that the current Chancellor, Gordon Brown, will replace Blair. In the morning's fifteen-minute-long Cabinet meeting, Brown is said to have described Blair's premiership as a "unique leadership".

 * No, I did not say that you should not be writing about this movie. But please, do so only if there is something newsworthy. If the release-date is changed by a few days ... that doesn't sound important to me. If the government banned the movie ... then that would truly be news-worthy.
 * There must be other things going on in your part of the world, we get so little news from there. It can't all be about this film, can it? --SVTCobra 17:28, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I, on the other hand, was coming to your talk page to compliment your level of interest. We have way too little coverage of South Asian filmmaking on Wikinews, so I was glad to see someone finally come to us with the passion.

 * I presume you aren't involved in the production/promotion of this movie, correct? (SVTCobra: Would you question this level of coverage if it was about Spiderman 3, Snakes on a Plane, or Titanic? It's very possible that Vagish is just a really passionate film buff.) --  Zanimum 18:30, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, Zanimum, I think I would. What are we up to? Five or six straight days of articles on one film, all from the same user. I think the coverage far exceeds anything else in Film. We seem to be getting to the of creating articles just for the sake of having one each day. --SVTCobra 21:45, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Vagish, as you asked here are a couple of places for help in writing for Wikinews WN:SG and WN:CG. Your article on the storm in India is a great example of something newsworthy that didn't get covered here. I see a couple of other users have already touched it up and published it.
 * I also want to clarify that I am not suggesting there should be zero coverage of this film. I am just suggesting that the articles should come as something major happens. Well, not sure about will be the next big item, but certainly when the movie does premiere, I could see warranting an article.
 * I am aware that Rajinikanth is a major actor. A coworker of mine described him as having achieved "god-like" status. This same friend and coworker has in the past also explained to me how dedicated the fans are (like the suicide scenario you provided). I hope I haven't disrespected Rajinikanth, as I don't want to get beaten up. Cheers and happy editing. --SVTCobra 22:15, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Feedback on UP storm story
Hi,

first off, thanks for the story. I think this is what SVTCobra meant with stories from India.

The story is within time limitations on Wikinews to me, but you should never try to write stories on events more than 2 days old, unless new and important evolutions have occurred. We are not about covering all important content, more about providing useful content every day.

When you submit a story, I think you can learn a lot from how experienced editors edit the story to learn about Wikinews conventions and formatting. The first places to learn about how to write stories are in the welcome message above: Writing an article, the style guide, and the content guide. I also renamed some of your stories, you might also want to review that.

Once again, thank you for contributing to Wikinews, and we hope that you can improve our coverage of stories you find missing out here, for example about Shiva: the boss, but hopefully not exclusively that.

cheers, --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 18:24, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

hi
hi Vagish, welcome to Wikinews, i look forward to more contributions from you. reg. ur question on my page, remember that on Wikinews, the standards for articles are set by our policies and guidelines (in particular WN:CG, WN:SG and WN:NPOV) rather than the opinions of this or that contributor. so while a new user is welcome to ask more experienced 'newsies to evaluate their work, they can equally evaluate themselves, based on the P's and G's.

yes, your articles are getting better, learning and making mistakes early on in your work here is absolutely normal, we just have to work together to fix those mistakes and get good published articles out. Writing an article is a good place to learn the ropes, and checking what modifications other editors make to improve articles is also good way to learn, especially since Wikinews' documentation of its guidelines is not particularly comprehensive, in my opinion.

so, welcome again and happy editing! –Doldrums(talk) 09:22, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: I'm leaving
Sorry to hear so, I didn't think there was anything wrong with having a lot of news about the film, as long as it was really news and not old news. I wish you all the best.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 16:35, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry to hear that as well. Bawolff ☺☻ 19:42, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Comments:British Prime Minister Tony Blair to resign on June 27

=succession= This process is cumbersome. He has already been a lame duck for months. Mr Blair should ask Labour MPs to have a vote straight away on whom they want to lead them. He should then go to the palace and advise the queen to ask the winner of that vote to form a government. Better still, he should choose a colleague who he thinks can form a government, ask him if he's prepared to do so, and then advise the queen accordingly. Parliament can then decide if it will support such a government. The prime ministership is mainly a matter for the crown and parliament and shouldn't be principally a party-matter. There is, of course, a case for a general election, and that option is always open to both Mr Blair and his successor.

Children's program on Palestinian TV propagates Islamic world leadership

May 10, 2007 The children's show 'Tomorrow's pioneers' on Al-Aqsa TV, which is controlled by Hamas, is hosted by a character resembling Mickey Mouse, who tells young viewers to drink milk, study hard and fight for Islamic world leadership and commit violence against Israel and the United States.

The images date from April but have made the press earlier this week. Meanwhile the show was reported to have been put on hold, pending a "full revision", according to the Palestinian Minister of Information Mustafa Barghouti. But a representative from Al Aqsa TV called this a mistake, so the show might still be aired on Friday.

At the beginning of the video Farfur (Butterfly), an actor in a mouse suit, calls for Islamic world leadership, starting in Palestine. He pleads for the restoration of the glory of Palestine, the liberation of Jerusalem, Iraq, and "the Muslim countries, invaded by murderers." "We will resist and protect against the Zionist occupation," co-host Saraa predicts. Saraa is only a young girl. A report by Fox News claims that children have been used before for Palestinian propaganda.

The children's program is filmed in a studio with fuzzy dice and colourful letters and numbers on the wall. In this setting the shows hosts proclaim things like: "We will win, Bush. We will win, Sharon. Ah, Sharon is dead..."

Another fragment shows how an 11-year-old girl calls the show and sings "Rafah sings 'oh oh', its answer is an AK47," which is a Kalashnikov assault rifle. The fake Mickey Mouse gestures holding a firearm.

Meanwhile the footage has been watched over 100,000 times on YouTube. The images were edited by the Israeli organisation Palestinian Media Watch, which studies and brings to attention the role of the Palestinian authority on the media and schoolbooks. The Middle East Media Research Institute was also involved in bringing the show under the attention.

Walt Disney's only living daughter, Diane Disney Miller, has already reacted to the news. She was shocked by the show, and called it "pure evil".

According to the Palestinian Minister of Information Mustafa Barghouti (who is independent from both Hamas and Fatah), the show is an illustration of the struggle of the Palestinian people against the Israeli occupation. "It's a situation of imprisonment for years. And that oppression, this apartheid system, of course drives people crazy and creates certain reactions as the one you have seen," Barghouti explained. He also called the shows content "very unfortunate," and a "mistaken approach" to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Tamil Nadu film 'Sivaji: The Boss' nearing release

May 10, 2007

The much awaited film of Tamil Nadu is nearing release. After several postponements from April 12 to May 8 then to May 17 and finally postponed to the release date of May 26. The last three dates are all add up to the magic number of Shankar's, 8. This release date was confirmed by Ayngaran International (the international distributor) and AVM (the producer). The reason for the latest postponing of the film was due to the background score of the film being incomplete, A. R. Rahman (music director) is currently working on this.

This will be Rajinikanth's 100th Tamil language film. The film has big names Shankar (director of the 8 Filmfare Award winning Anniyan), AVM (the largest producer of films in Tamil Nadu), A. R. Rahman (word recognized due to his work in the Bombay Dreams musical) and the "Superstar" of Tamil cinema Rajinikanth.

Pyramid is expecting over Rs. 120 million in the Nizam area of Andra Pradesh from the films ticket sales. So far it has been estimated that over Rs. 1 billion has been invested in the film.

Talk:Exclusive interview with prominent blogger, David Farrar/Q and A

These are the questions, and below those are the answers made by David Farrar.

For those who don't know who you are and what you do, can you please give a brief introduction to yourself?

I discovered the Internet in 1996 and it didn’t take me long to treasure it as the best invention ever. Started off debating issues on Usenet newsgroups and in July 2003 made the natural progression to have my own blog – kiwiblog.co.nz. The blog has proven fairly popular.

I spent eight years in the NZ Parliament working for various National Party Prime Ministers and Opposition Leaders. I started in July 1996 in the Media Services Unit of Ministerial Services when Jim Bolger was PM and then got appointed to Jenny Shipley’s personal office when she became PM. I was very involved with introducing public e-mail addresses for Ministers, starting e-mail distribution of news and launching the first ever official PM’s website.

In Opposition I worked for Jenny Shipley, Bill English and Don Brash before leaving in March 1994 to set up my own polling and research company. I am also very involved with the Internet Society of NZ (www.internetnz.net.nz) and am currently the Vice-President. Through them I have played a role in the splitting up of Telecom to foster more competition and anti-spam legislation.

What was the first computer you had and was it capable of getting online? That first moment you went on the Internet were you hooked or did it take time before you wanted to spend all day online?

God no – my first computer was in 1982 and was a BBC. Also had an Apple IIe and then a Mac. Finally converted to Microsoft in 1997 after being the only person in Parliament to have a Mac! I started using the Internet at work in around Feb 1996 and did get hooked and got an account with Ihug in August 1996.

Are you the most well known blogger in New Zealand? How many visitors do other New Zealand blogs get?

Myself and Russell Brown are very well known for our blogs, and the Spare Room blog by Ana Samways and Steven Shaw has a pretty high profile also. I suspect we all get over 100,000 visits a month (I am currently at over 300,000). There’s then probably a dozen or so other bloggers who get into the tens of thousands.

Also there are some global blogs run by NZers such as Read Write Web, which have huge readership globally.

What was the first blog you read and what made you decide to become a blogger yourself?

It was NZ Pundit, run by Gordon King. Sadly it is now defunct but it was my inspiration to get started myself. Gordon would post wonderful polemics challenging the conventional thinking and reporting, and after a few months of reading him I realized that I also had views and could try sharing them with the world. So in July 2003 I made my first post, and enjoyed it ever since.

What blogs do you read on a regular basis?

I have literally several hundred I subscribe to and try to keep up with. The ones which I am most addicted to are:

http://asianinvasion2006.blogspot.com/ - Cactus Kate on men, sex and politics http://www.whaleoil.co.nz/ - Whale Oil is wonderfully offensive with some great multimedia http://tonymilne.blogs.com/i_see_red/ - Tony Milne on politics national and local http://norightturn.blogspot.com/ - Idiot/Savant is an encyclopedia of info on what is happening in Parliament and politics http://www.publicaddress.net/ - You get not just Russell Brown, but also David Slack, Keith Ng and many others. http://redconfectionery.blogspot.com/ - a bunch of female Young Labour bloggers half on their sex lives and half on politics – the perfect mix. http://spanblather.blogspot.com/ - Span gives a consistently challenging view of politics from a young female feminist and unionist perspective. https://www.tuanz.org.nz/blog/e379f711-b2b6-4423-9e32-4a8bf9f301db.html - TUANZ’s Downstream blog on what is happening in the telco industry. http://www.geekzone.co.nz/juha - Juha Saarinen - great stories on interesting things http://wellingtonista.com/ - a great joint blog about my home town

How did you establish yourself and what is the best way you have found to bring traffic to your blog?

Well it wasn’t much of a deliberate strategy. I just posted on topics that were of interest to me, and found that many people were interested in the same things. As it started to grow, I found that doing updates more than once a day was a good way to have people regularly checking in. Oh and most important of all is to have a sense of humour and enjoy doing it.

If you weren't blogging what would you be doing?

Earning money! I spend far too long blogging when I should be working on more business. However it is doing well enough that I can divide my time up between my business, InternetNZ and blogging and not starve.

Many politicians, including New Zealanders, have seen the power of a blog and have started one. Are these blogs successful, or do people prefer to read other blogs not tied to a specific party?

Very few are successful because the politicians treat it as a one way communication tool where they just post press releases or travel diaries. Rodney Hide is the best example of doing it the right way. John Key is video blogging and responding to comments through future videos, which is a different way to interact.

Generally people prefer to read what they regard as honest opinion, rather than just party propaganda.

Do you participate actively in any wiki or Web 2.0 sites like Wikipedia, YouTube, etc?

Absolutely I am a huge huge fan of Wikipedia and use it many times a day. I even read random articles on it when bored, and was very proud when I became notable enough to be on Wikipedia. Also a daily youtube user and think it is very significant that they managed to basically leave Google Video for dead – it shows innovation can beat a strong incumbent brand.

I wish I had more time to edit Wikipedia. There’s lots more NZ content to get onto there.

Wikipedia and the like are hugely popular websites world wide, what makes these websites effective and successful?

Basically multiple user generated content, rather than tightly controlled content from one source. Also the sense of community such sites generate is quite integral to their success.

Where do you see the internet evolving in 10 years? 20 years?

I wish I knew. In terms of access I see NZ rolling out fibre to the home in the next 10 to 20 years and that will open up amazing possibilities as we will have totally wired homes.

The next big thing will probably be on mobile phones/devices and will be applications that use GPS, mapping and mobile technology. Imagine being able to see a map of your local area on your phone, and not just get told where the nearest toilets or bookstore is, but also if any of your friends are nearby. There will be privacy issues to get over, but this will be hugely popular with kids and many adults.

Thank you for your time answering my questions. Any final words you would like to say to finish off the interview?

Just thanks for the opportunity to be interviewed for Wikinews.

Only one World War I veteran left in Canada

May 10, 2007

Just yesterday the second-last Canadian World War I veteran died, leaving just one remaining alive in Canada. The 106 year old Percy Dwight Wilson died in Toronto's Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre's veterans residence, being there from June 2006.

Born, February 26, 1901, one of nine children in Elgin County, Ontario, Wilson enlisted in the Army in 1915 as a Bulgier. After his Basic Training, he was sent to England via a ship across the Atlantic. As he was a minor, he was never sent to the front lines, and helped to dig trenches until being sent back to Canada.

However, he was still determined to be a soldier, and re-enlisted upon arriving home, and was then discharged from the service in 1918. He joined the forces once more, as a reserve Officer in the 1st regiment reserve. World War II began and Wilson enlisted for a third time but was not accepted due to age limits.

From 1919 on to his retirement in 1966 he worked for Bell Canada, he studied music and vocals at Toronto's Royal Conservatory of Music and London, Ontario's University of Western Ontario where he met his wife Eleanor Dean, who married in 1927 and later died at 94.

His death leaves John Babcock, 106 years old, who currently resides in Spokane, Washington, USA and Gladys Powers, 108 years old, the last known female veteran of the First World War who served with the British and who currently resides in Abbotsford, British Columbia, as the sole living Canadians who once served in the First World War.

Wilson is survived by his two sons Dean and Paul, four grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.

Barry Bonds ties Hank Aaron's home run record

August 5, 2007 Barry Bonds of the has officially tied 's decades old home run record. Bonds hit the home run at in an away game against the San Diego Padres Saturday night. Pitcher gave up the homer in the second inning, a 382 foot homer over the left-center field wall. Adam Hughes, a 33-year old plumber caught the ball, which is worth millions of dollars on the collectibles market. Security guards quickly escorted the plumber and the ball from the stands.

In post game interviews, Barry said, "The hard part is over," referring to the long try to tie the record. Aaron did not issue a statement.

Bonds did not comment yesterday on the steroids scandal that has tainted his last several years in baseball. Currently, Bonds is under investigation for perjury by a federal grand jury regarding his 2003 testimony on the BALCO steroids case, in which he denied using performance-enhancing drugs. Bonds allegedly used steroids, which were not prohibited by Major League Baseball at the time, though they could not be obtained without a prescription.

Bonds is not only first in career home runs but also is first in career walks and intentional walks. Bonds also holds the single-season home run record with 73 home runs in 2001.

Bonds, a sure fire Hall of Famer, is one of the oldest players in the majors. He turned 43 on July 24. So far, Bonds has hit 21 home runs this season.

Hottest planet to date found in the constellation Hercules

May 11, 2007

, a newly found planet in the constellation Hercules is dense, gassy and the hottest planet found to date. HD 149026b is smaller than the typical gas giant and its atmosphere is much heavier, contributing to its staggering temperature of 2,310 K (2,037°C, or 3,700°F), scientists said.

Scientist Joeseph Harrington described the planet as looking "like the evil eye."

"This planet is off the temperature scale that we expect for planets," said Drake Deming of NASA's.

Harrington said for a planet to get so hot, it must be absorbing most of the light that reaches it. This energy is radiated back in the spectrum.

HD 149026b is located 279 light-years from with a light-year being the distance light travels in a year — about 9.46 trillion kilometres.

Canadian actress Barbara Kent dies at age 103

October 22, 2011

, a popular Canadian actress in silent movies who starred in the 1926 film , died on October 13 at the age of 103.

Kent was born Barbara Klowtmann on December 16, 1907 in, Canada.

She was among the last of the surviving players from the silent film period.

She attracted attention in the 1927 film  by swimming nude; she wore a flesh colored bathing suit in scenes that were considered very daring at the time. She made a smooth transition into talking pictures, opposite in the 1929 comedy Welcome Danger.

Over the next few years she landed several roles including one in the 1933 film  - the first non-silent adaptation.

Following the death of her husband in 1949, Kent retreated from public life. She came to refuse to acknowledge her film career and extend very few interviews.

Talk:Hottest planet to date found in the constellation Hercules

Title implies more than is known
The title should be more clear in reflecting the fact that this is the hottest planet found to date, not the hottest planet anywhere. You might think this would be obvious, but I would rather be more specific and correct than more general and, technically speaking, incorrect. 24.180.154.125 04:08, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Done :) DragonFire1024 05:59, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

SI units???

Infrared
Saying that the planet radiates back energy in the form of a "dim red glow" is kinda silly. It in fact radiates energy in infrared, which is a totally different thing. I haven't seen my bluetooth mouse radiating any dim red glow! So I took the liberty of editing that paragraph. 86.199.126.68 22:55, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Turkish newspaper alleges cover-up in Hrant Dink case

May 11, 2007

Radikal, a Turkish daily newspaper reported that some important tapped phone conversations of Erhan Tuncel, who has been singled out as the mastermind behind the assassination of Hrant Dink, prominent Turkish-Armenian journalist, on 19 January 2007 in Istanbul, have not been passed to the public prosecutors working on the Dink case.

According to the Radikal, just after the murder of H. Dink, Erhan Tuncel, who was a police informant received a call from a phone registered under the name of "Dilek B." However, Tuncel addresses the person on the phone as "Brother Memduh." Memduh was in reality one of the police officers who was keeping in contact with Tuncel. Concern have been raised that recordings of Tuncel's phone conversations on the day of the murder and two days after that have not been included in the file, while a recording of a 2006 phone conversation between Memduh and Tuncel is included.

It was reported that in 2005 the Trabzon police began monitoring the phone conversations of Tuncel and Yasin Hayal, who is the other planner and instigator of the Dink's killing in January 2007. It is now in the public knowledge that while Tuncel and Hayal planning the killing of Hrant Dink, their phone conversations had been tapped by the Trabzon police.

In the file of Hrant Dink murder, there are hundreds of pages of phone conversations between Erhan Tuncel and others. According to the documents in the file, Erhan Tuncel very often talked with phone numbers registered under name of different women, one of whom is "Dilek B." Erhan Tuncel talked with "Dilek B." on many occasions at the end of 2006, also on the day of murder (14.57 on January 19, 2007) at 16.43, 16.50 and 18.26. Tuncel was also called by "Dilek B." and talked with a male voice on the phone on January 20 and January 21. However, only one phone conversation from 2006 between Tuncel and "Dilek B." has been included in the file.

Erhan Tuncel in his statement, stated that he used the phone number of 0538 839 95 xx to talk with his contacts at the police. This number is registered under the name of "Dilek B." Moreover, 15 days prior to the killing Tuncel was phoned by an officer called Ahmet, a male, using a phone registered under the name of another woman, called Ayşe Bektaş. Tuncel stated that Ahmet was a police officer.

Trabzon police, between 2005 and 2007, recorded 5,025 phone conversations of Tuncel and 1,225 phone conversations of Hayal. However, when the public prosecutors in Istanbul asked for the transcriptions of these phone conversations, only 46 conversations of Tuncel and 17 conversations of Hayal were forwarded to them, and the rest of the conversations were excluded with a note in the file stating that they were deemed to be unimportant by the police.

The extent of the involvement of the various Turkish police and security services in the murder of Hrant Dink remains under scrutiny. The exclusion of phone conversations Tuncel with his contacts at the police is raising serious concerns about a cover up by the Trabzon police in order to hide their neglect, knowledge and involvement in the murder of Hrant Dink.

The court case against 19 men charged with involvement in the murder of Hrant Dink is to start on July 2 in Istanbul. Erhan Tuncel and Yasin Hayal have been accused of inciting Ogun Samast, 17 years old ultra nationalist, to carry out the killing. The Public prosecutor is seeking life imprisonment for both Tuncel and Hayal, who are also facing charges of being senior members of an armed terrorist group.

Tamil Nadu film 'Sivaji: The Boss' expectations peak

May 11, 2007

Hoardings of Sivaji: The Boss have begun to appear around Chennai (capital of Tamil Nadu). This marks the nearing of the release date, which is currently at May 26.

The fans have also began their countdown to the films release. The last Rajinikanth film was Chandramuhki back in 2005, which is still running in a few cinemas in Tamil Nadu and has broken many records. A few of the records it has broken were:
 * First Tamil film to film in Turkey.
 * Ran for more days than Haridas (previously owned the longest running film title).
 * Earning the most that a Tamil film has ever earned.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the release. Ticket prices for the first day are expected to exceed Rs. 300.

Due to Sivaji: The Boss releasing soon there have been no films set to be released in May in Kollywood. Most films who had first decided to release in May have avoided doing so due to the release of Rajinikanth's film.

Talk:Turkish newspaper alleges cover-up in Hrant Dink case

I have requested a little help with this from a Wikipedia user since I don't know Turkish and can't check the sources. There are, as you'll see there two issues:
 * 1) The article cannot substantially be a literal translation of what Radikal published - that's an effective derivative work/copyvio.
 * 2) Since I can't read Turkish I can't check all the little details, and this article has quite a lot of details.

The two above points combined mean that it may be best to try and condense this article somewhat. A list of times of phone calls on one day can be "a series of three calls after ??:00 on Month dd". --Brian McNeil / talk 09:00, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Phone number
If this phone number is, or at some point in the future goes back to being, in service then we probably shouldn't list it. Thoughts? --Brian McNeil / talk 09:02, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

attribution
i can't help with this as i do not know Turkish, but all otherwise unsubstantiated claims made by Radical or any other source shld be attributed to the claimant. Yasin Hayal is named in tha article as the "other planner and instigator of the Dink's killing". shldn't there be an "alleged" added to this statement. it would be great if English language sources can be added substantiating some, if not all, of the contents of this article. –Doldrums(talk) 09:03, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I made the change from "upstart" to "startup", and removed the following two lines to try to make this article less like an ad:

 * "But if this new model is enough for viewers to opt out of fee-based subscriptions for programming content, then Joost and its competitors have the right idea.
 * Consumer choice rules in this emerging model, which presents challenges for Mainstream Media. Conglomerates may sit back on their existing business model of "stick with our station" and let Joost do the leg work by setting up the baseline in how this multi-channel approach works."

Hubble Space Telescope successor unveiled by NASA

May 11, 2007 NASA has unveiled the new telescope that will replace the Hubble Space Telescope in Washington D.C. called the James Webb Space Telescope [JWST]. Currently, NASA has a life-sized model on display to the public which is as tall as a two story house and weighs several tons.

Researchers at NASA say that the Webb telescope will be able to see farther than Hubble "to the beginning of time."

"It will find the first galaxies and will peer through dusty clouds to see stars forming planetary systems, connecting the Milky Way to our own Solar System," said a statement posted on NASA's website. It will be sent into space where it will orbit nearly 2,000,000 miles from Earth.

JWST will have a large mirror, 6.5 meters (21.3 feet) in diameter and a sunshield the size of a tennis court.

Northrop Grumman is contracted to build the telescope and will be jointly operated by NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency. It is scheduled to launch in 2013 from Arianespace's ELA-3 launch complex at European Spaceport located near Kourou, French Guiana.

Welcome
, welcome to Wikinews! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews: By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( ~~~~ ), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! [Might as well have the same welcome as everyone else]. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:14, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral point of view - tell every side to a story in a fair and balanced way
 * Cite sources - everything in a Wikinews article must be sourced
 * Introduction - overview of the site
 * Writing an article - how to write and publish a complete article
 * Content guide - what's suitable for Wikinews
 * Contents - the contents page.

 * The front page lead articles often need updating
 * Developing stories need finishing and publishing
 * Discussions need your input
 * Audio Wikinews could always use more contributors
 * And of course, stories need writing!

Dink article
I'll make some changes per your review and publish the article. Thanks for taking the time to pop over and help out. You're welcome to stick around and write stuff, it is a LOT easier to start an article here, and everything goes on the main page at some time. --Brian McNeil / talk 15:00, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't be surprised if I have to take you up on the translation check again at some point in the future. Thanks for your help and for clearly identifying which languages people can bug you about. ;-)  --Brian McNeil / talk 08:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called AtilimGunesBaydin. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name AtilimGunesBaydin~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:13, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:29, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

U.S. Vice President Cheney warns Iran about nuclear weapons

May 11, 2007

Speaking on the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis, U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney sent a strong warning to the Iranian leadership. He said that the U.S. would not permit Iran to obtain nuclear weapons. The USS John C. Stennis is currently in Abu Dhabi. The comments are considered more poignant because Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is set to visit Abu Dhabi in the next few days.
