			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.creativeshed.com/blog/images//promusicapps.jpg"><img src="http://www.creativeshed.com/blog/images//promusicapps.jpg" alt="" title="promusicapps" width="300" height="139" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-208" /></a> <a href="http://www.promusicapps.com/">Pro Music Apps</a> is a new site devoted solely to iPhone / iPad applications that are music-related. One of its co-owners is a good friend of mine who has a quarter of a century as a musician and music producer under his belt, so there&#8217;ll be no shortage of in-depth knowledge and valid skepticism of dodgy apps. </p>
<p>The site has only recently launched but there&#8217;s already plenty of content on there. With the iPad now a reality, music applications will continue their explosive growth. Sites like this will play a role in sorting the wheat from the chaff &#8211; <a href="http://www.promusicapps.com/">so why not give them a try</a>?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the past few years, one of the popular culture icons that keep popping up over and over is Darth Vader. YouTube is a particular Vader domain, with some very fine humour to be found.</p>
<p>For me, Chad Vader is the pinnacle. I initially came across these videos in 2006 and they remain very popular:</p>
<p><center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4wGR4-SeuJ0&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4wGR4-SeuJ0&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center></p>
<p>There&#8217;s actually eight Chad Vader episodes and the creators have quite a business going <a href="http://www.blamesociety.net/dvd.php">selling DVDs and t-shirts</a>.</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s Darth Vader &#8211; Thriller style:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being heavily involved with technology I often get comments around the role online activitiescan play with sexualisation of kids. Independent news outlet <a href="http://www.crikey.com.au">Crikey</a>  have run an excellent story today on a David Jones catalogue &#8211; <a href="http://www.crikey.com.au/2009/06/01/foi-reveals-djs-kids-were-supposed-to-be-adult-and-s-xy/">it&#8217;s well worth the read</a>.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s just further proof that the issue is as much a societal one as a technological one. It&#8217;s also an issue that companies will need to be aware of as consumer backlash grows against practices like this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ninety minutes is an insane amount of time to spend watching one YouTube video, but this one is worth spending the time on.</p>
<p>Google Wave was developed primarily in Sydney and is a potential game changer. Ok, I&#8217;m going to rephrase that &#8211; this IS a game changer in the most significant kind of way. It&#8217;s intuitive, it eliminates a whole lot of duplication and it actually improves the email experience. Before i start dribbling, do take the time to watch the video and make your own judgements:</p>
<p><center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/v_UyVmITiYQ&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xcfcfcf&#038;hl=en&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/v_UyVmITiYQ&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xcfcfcf&#038;hl=en&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center></p>
<p>Of course, I have a potted history with predicting Google successes, having been <a href="http://www.metaversejournal.com/2008/07/09/google-lively-be-excited/">very upbeat about Google Lively</a>, which died after a few months operation.</p>
