Get Your Media in a Flash
A NY Times technology article explores the standard Adobe Flash, currently used for online video, wanting to expand to TV sets and cell phones to help advance the rapid pace of our media hungry world.
The plan is to start extending Flash to TV screens, which will reach a wide array of media. This would enable people to view video clips from the Internet on their TV and mobile phones. For Hollywood studios, this new idea will allow them to transfer their entertainment cheaply to the variety of mass media outlets.
While some major companies like Apple, who do not prefer using Flash on their phones, and Sony who has not recognized the idea of Flash being used to view video clips, the idea of viewing video straight from the Internet to your television and being able to surf the web on your phones much like that on a PC, is inevitable. However, their rival Microsoft might stand in their way of achieving this goal.
I think the idea here is to reach a large audience of media users by allowing them to receive video and images through every branch of technology. It's a good idea in theory, the thought of being able to distribute media quickly to TV, computers, and cell phones to please consumers of this generation who now demand fast technology to compliment their energetic lives.
However, I think Adobe Flash may run into problems along the way. It may be challenging to have a majority of the main technology providers to take interest in this idea.

When in a recession, go on vacation?
In the NY Times, an article describes how Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher and Flom Law Firm in New York City is taking on a new spin on how to protect their business from the grueling recession.
During the tragic times in an economy that simply cannot flourish, Skadden is looking to cut costs but not ready to lay off their associates. So in exchange for $80,000 for the year, some associates will take off work to spend time with family or take time just for them. Maybe even indulge in a getaway vacation around the world?
About 125 associates are interested in this bargain. Those who choose to engage in this deal will also have their jobs protected while they are away. If there are any layoffs while they are gone, their jobs will be secured.
If I was in this situation, I wouldn't have to think twice about taking up the opportunity to take time for myself, away from the stressful and chaotic world, but still get paid to do so. Who wouldn't want to relax for a year while being paid $80,000? I know I would be running, even sprinting to receive this deal. Also, without having to worry about being laid off any time or the scare of unemployment, you could experience a whole different world outside of your working environment.
This sounds like a stressed worker's paradise to me.
