Microsoft
Vista is the next operating system for you - (unless you are
Mac or Linux OS type of person). This is a big change and
you'll need some kind of guidance to figure it all out
and how to make it work for you. Do you have the horsepower
to run Vista? Can you upgrade? Or should you just chuck your
old machine and just buy a new box with Microsoft Vista
pre-installed? Should you not even bother upgrading and just
continue to use XP or Win 98 - or switch to a Mac?

Getting
Paid: Sites that Help Video Producers Make Money
-
Compiled by Scott Kirsner (Editor,
CinemaTech)
- New
revenue opportunities are emerging with the recent boom
in video viewing on the Web. On this chart, I've tried
to list all of the Web sites that enable independent
video producers to make money from their work. I've
ranked the sites subjectively, based on how much traffic
and buzz they've been attracting, and also how likely it
seems that a video producer would actually manage to
earn a significant return by posting a video to them.
(Media companies with large libraries have a wider range
of options for monetizing their content, including
Apple's iTunes Music Store, Movielink, and Vongo.)

real world case study
The
Mouth Revolution is a hilarious and very well made
live-action film that parodies history and contemporary
culture while informing viewers about the vital importance
of eating real, organic foods.
Narrated by revolutionary
mouths who take it upon themselves to decide what they will
and will not eat, personalities like “Sojourner Tooth” and
“Captain Mouth” unveil their "Mouthifesto" -- a Declaration
of Indigestion that details their objectives and demands: No
Trans Fats, No GMOs, No Pesticides, and No Artificial
Ingredients.
