<description><![CDATA[Signs of times? Demo, my favourite tech conference which starts this morning in Palm Springs, Calif.]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6475" title="picture-22" src="http://techpulse360.wordpress.com/files/2009/03/picture-22.png" alt="picture-22" width="226" height="68" />Signs of times?</p>
<p><a href="http://demo.com/index.html">Demo</a>, my favourite tech conference which starts this morning in Palm Springs, Calif., got smaller.</p>
<p>How small you may ask? A lot smaller. Think half of what it used to be.</p>
<p>From 80+ presenters last year, 70+ last Fall, this 19th edition of Demo is showing off only 39 products. And my experience, is that amongst them, probably 10-ish are really innovative.</p>
<p>Of course, for those who were around during the tech bubble years, this sound like deja-vu. Back then, Demo was also a shadow of itself.</p>
<p>Here is the full list of <a href="http://demo.com/news/forthemedia.html?CTR=http%3A%2F%2Fdemo.mediaroom.com%2Findex.php%3Fs%3D43%26item%3D387">companies</a> that will presenting over the next 2-days:</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="color:#888888;">By Mike Butcher</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">We’ve had <a href="http://openid.net/" target="_blank">OpenId</a> to make the transport of your ID easier between Web sites. We’ve had initiatives on <a href="http://www.dataportability.org/" target="_blank">Data Portability</a> to make it easier for you to move your data around between social networks and other apps. But what we haven’t had yet is a way to allow you to share your location between different platforms. That’s something that a new, largely European-inspired, initiative hopes to address. The alliance, called <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/locallies/web/test?pli=1" target="_blank">OSLO</a> (Open Sharing of Location-based Objects) includes many of the players in mobile social networking and location-based social software. <a href="http://iamrajendra.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/oslo.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1250" title="oslo" src="http://iamrajendra.wordpress.com/files/2009/02/oslo.png" alt="oslo" width="298" height="328" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Twelve startups, all of whom serve their users with location-based services, have signed an agreement to enable their combined 30 million users to share location information and interact between networks. Currently users are unable to do so as location-based systems operate in a similar fashion to instant messaging systems like AOL and MSN which don’t work with eachother. So for example, you can set your location on Brightkite for instance, but your friends on <a href="http://www.rummble.com/" target="_blank">Rummble</a> wouldn’t see you &#8211; but they would if <a href="http://brightkite.com/" target="_blank">Brightkite</a> joined the initiative.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">While Ronan Higgins, CEO, <a href="http://www.locle.com/" target="_blank">Locle</a> and Andrew Scott, Founder/CEO, Rummble are acting as spokes people, the other companies in the initiative are: <a href="http://www.aka-aki.com/" target="_blank">www.aka-aki.com</a>, <a href="http://belysio.com/" target="_blank">belysio</a>, <a href="http://www.buddycloud.com/" target="_blank">Buddycloud</a>, <a href="http://www.mobiluck.com/" target="_blank">Mobiluck</a>, <a href="http://www.moximity.com/" target="_blank">Moximity</a>, <a href="http://www.nulaz.com/" target="_blank">Nulaz</a>, <a href="http://www.palringo.com/" target="_blank">Palringo</a>, <a href="http://www.rummble.com/" target="_blank">Rummble</a>, Service2Media, <a href="http://www.skout.com/" target="_blank">Skout</a>, <a href="http://www.tooio.com/" target="_blank">Tooio</a> and <a href="http://www.wayn.com/" target="_blank">WAYN</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">OSLO has been in discussion with Google and Yahoo! about joining the alliance. Google of course recently launched it’s <a href="http://www.google.com/latitude/intro.html" target="_blank">Latitude</a> product, while Yahoo! has been working on <a href="http://fireeagle.yahoo.net/" target="_blank">FireEagle</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">However, Oslo is not a competitor to Google’s Latitude as they’ve spoken to Google, Yahoo! and Vodafone and, according to Higgins, they all want to get on board.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Some of the theoretical benefits to OSLO are:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">- Mobile advertisers would benefit from the combined volumes and an ability to better target their campaigns based on location, improving click through rate, ROI and user satisfaction.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">- Connecting to people on other networks gives mobile social networking users a more exciting experience.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">- Application builders can create better products on top of shared location information.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">- Member companies can focus on differentiation and adding value to users rather than bothering with re-building another location system, which is a commodity anyway. The alternative is a fragmentation of technologies.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">However, OSLO says, end user privacy and security remains not just a priority “but a pre-requisite”. So OSLO currently mandates that member companies should be able to query the location of users, as long as that user has opted-in to share their location with other OSLO services.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It will be interesting to see how this initiative develops.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Gerade als virtueller Backcountry-Pilot wünscht man sich oft eine kleine Aufgabe, die es zu erfüllen]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img border="0" align="left" width="75" src="http://www.jo-stein.com/grizzlymember/logo.jpg" height="75" />Gerade als virtueller Backcountry-Pilot wünscht man sich oft eine kleine Aufgabe, die es zu erfüllen gibt während der endlosen Flüge durch die wunderbaren virtuellen Buschlandschaften. <a target="_blank" href="http://secure.simmarket.com/product_info.php?products_id=1512"><strong>FS Cargo</strong> </a>und auch FS Passenger schafften hier Abhilfe und der Buschpilot fliegt nun Fracht oder Passagiere von A nach B.<!--more--></p>
<p>Mit FS Blaze kommt ein weiteres Aufgabengebiet hinzu, <em>Firewatching aus der Luft</em>. FS Blaze erzeugt virtuelle Waldbrände und zwar nicht willkürlich, sondern genau dort, wo sie auch in der Realität wüten.<br />
Steigen Sie also in ihre Cessna, Scout, Beaver oder in welche ihrer Maschinen auch immer und achten Sie während ihrer Flüge immer auf Buschfeuer.</p>
<p><strong>Kauf und Installation</strong></p>
<p><strong>FS Blaze ist FREEWARE</strong>, Sie können dieses Addon unter folgendem Link downloaden (<font color="#ff6600"><a target="_blank" href="http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=FS-Blaze&#38;CatID=root&#38;Go=Search">FS Blaze</a></font>). Die Anleitung bringt Sie schnell und sicher durch die Installation und schon können Sie Ausschau nach Buschbränden halten.<br />
Entweder Sie beginnen zunächst mit den verheerenden Feuern in Yellostone 1988 oder in South Canyon 1994 (die Daten dieser beiden Brände sind schon enthalten), oder aber Sie ziehen sich die aktuellen Daten direkt aus dem Internet.</p>
<p><strong>Bedienung</strong></p>
<p>Die Bedienung dieses Addons gestaltet sich recht einfach und nach dem Start erscheint folgender Screen.</p>
<p><img border="0" width="250" src="http://www.jo-stein.com/grizzlymember/fsblaze_menu.jpg" height="318" /></p>
<p>Hier haben Sie die Möglichkeit bestehende Daten aufzurufen, oder aber &#8211; wie schon erwähnt &#8211; die aktuellen Daten via Internet abzurufen. Sie gelangen dann auf die Internetseiten der <em>NOAA Satellite and Information Service &#8211; Fire Products</em>.</p>
<p><img border="0" width="450" src="http://www.jo-stein.com/grizzlymember/NOAA.jpg" height="267" /></p>
<p>Jeder der Punkt markiert ein Feuer und Sie können sofort sehen, wo auch in ihrem Flugsimulator die Feuer aufflammen werden.</p>
<p>Wie in der Realität auch, können Sie nicht wissen wo gerade ein Buschfeuer wütet&#8230; sie müssen es finden. Wer jedoch gezielt ein Buschfeuer sehen möchte, der kann sich die aktuellen Feuer mit einem kleinen Tool (z.B. New Bgl Analyze) auslesen.<br />
Das sieht dann so aus:<br />
<em>K BZ871 N52 6.63794 W122 49.93538 FS-Blaze.bgl<br />
K BZ872 N52 11.11776 W123 9.50464 FS-Blaze.bgl</em></p>
<p><em></em><img border="0" width="450" src="http://www.jo-stein.com/grizzlymember/fsblaze.jpg" height="338" /></p>
<p>Fliegen Sie ein Buschfeuer an, so sehen Sie eine starke Rauchentwicklung und Feuer, aber Sie spüren und hören das wütende Feuer auch. Fliegen genau über den Brandherd, so werden Sie in durch das Feuer verursachte Tubolenzen geraten und sie hören das Knistern und Brasseln des Brandes.</p>
<p>Ist das Feuer erst einmal lokalisiert, so können Sie mit einem Löschflugzeug zurückkehren (wirklich löschen lässt sich das Feuer leider bisher noch nicht) oder ab Sie setzen Firefighter ab&#8230; diese unerschrockenen Feuerwehrmänner, die mit Fallschirmen mitten in die Hölle springen.</p>
<p><img border="0" width="450" src="http://www.jo-stein.com/grizzlymember/skydiver.jpg" height="250" /><br />
Auf diesem Foto bei einem Testabsprung</p>
<p>Tja &#8211; all das können Sie mit FS Blaze tun und ich bin sicher, dass dieses Addon ihren virtuellen fliegerischen Alltag bereichern wird.</p>
<p>Ideal auch für Onlineeinsätze mit mehreren Fliegerkameraden! <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
