Online Radio Stations
An increasing number of people are abandoning their old radios and listening to their favourite stations via the internet
Resonance
This self-styled “radio art station” is on a mission to cover “the new, the undiscovered, the forgotten, [and] the impossible.” In short, Resonance is a refreshing radio station that plays alternative, obscure and always pleasant world music.

Pina
“Pina Bausch pins you to your seat. It’s like she’s connected to your bloodstream or something. She knows about fears, fantasies and dream-life. It’s like meeting your own imagination.” – Alan Rickman
Don’t swim after lunch
Miniature like digital animation happening on a real enviroment, really creative anad atractive.
My Bloody Lad
This great, comic piece by French animators ‘Wizzprod’ tells the story of a young boy who’s given a super-tough zombie as a gift. I was wowed by the colourful illustrative style, reminding me of feature animations ‘Belle Renez-vous’ and ‘The Illusionist’ (also made by French animation houses). There’s a great, energetic soundtrack too!
Enjoy!
Transparent OLEDs video displays
Here’s a really nice video produced by Corning - showing future designs made with durable, transparent and even flexible glass displays. A lot of these displays can be achieved with OLEDs, although it’s not specifically mentioned in this video. Still, it’s beautifully done:

Special Report: Google Search Fixes Algorithm in Behind-Door Deal with OPA
Google changes search algorithm to favor large publishers over small-time blogs and websites last Friday in a move that shifted $1 billion in annual revenue to members of the Online Publishers Association (OPA).
The Online Publishers Association, an insider organization representing large websites and magazines, applied pressure on Google to adjust its search algorithm in favor of “quality” content as the industry continues to suffer declining subscription revenue.
“A private understanding was reached between the OPA and Google,” an office assistant with e-mail evidence told Politically Illustrated. “The organization is responsible for coordinating legal and legislative matters that impact our members, and one of the issues was applying pressure to Google to get them to adjust their search algorithm to favor our members.”
The e-mail correspondence provided to Politically Illustrated show the OPA going back-and-forth with Google over upcoming changes to the company’s search algorithm.
“We don’t care,” began an email from a top-level staffer at the OPA. “The algorithm needs to consider the quality of content because websites, including those hosted on Blogger, are stealing our stories – they’re simply re-writing them from websites produced by our members.”
Last month, Google went ahead and adjusted the algorithm after the e-mail correspondence.
The change hurt several hundred websites, including popular Cult of Mac.
“Cult of Mac has been downgraded by the changes Google has made to its algorithm to rerank content farms like Demand Media,” Leander Kahney, who is the owner of Cult for Mac, wrote on his website. “We’re not alone. Also affected is the British Medial Journal, PR Newswire, and one of the earliest online communities, The Well.”
Cult for Mac, PR Newswire, The British Medial Journal, and The Well are not current members of the Online Publishers Association.
“I’m pissed because we’ve worked our asses off over the last two years to make this a successful site. Cult of Mac is an independently owned small business. We’re a startup. We have a small but talented team, and I’m the only full timer. We’re busting our chops to produce high-quality, original content on a shoestring budget.”
