"Unaired Woody Allen interview for Granada 1971

Unaired Woody Allen interview for Granada 1971 from DC Morgan on Vimeo.

Unaired Woody Allen interview from 1971. Woody refuses to give a truthful answer to any question, yet continues the interview for nearly 40 minutes (perhaps longer, given that other footage aired).

Talk about rarities - this is as rare as you can get. This is never-broadcast footage of Woody Allen being interviewed by Granada TV in Manchester in 1971 while he was in the UK to promote 'Bananas' - and it's very funny.

Google Now

Google Now could be added to the search giant’s homepage in the not too distant future:

Rumors about a possible launch on iOS, Chrome and Chrome OS have been rife recently, although the latter is expected to be integrated as a slightly different, yet familiar notification center.
Google Now for iOS is all but confirmed, but availability outside of the mobile landscape is yet to be verified. By bringing its cards to the Google homepage, the company would be making a big statement on the influence and value of its product.
It would also be a departure from the minimalist homepage found on the Google Search website. The simplicity of the design has become something of a calling card for the company – but perhaps it’s time for something far bolder and innovative.

Act of Terror

Act of Terror from Fat Rat Films on Vimeo.

While filming a routine stop and search of her boyfriend on the London Underground, Gemma suddenly found herself detained, handcuffed and threatened with arrest.

Act of Terror tells the story of her fight to bring the police to justice and prevent this happening to anyone else, ever again.

Official Website:
ActOfTerrorDocumentary.com

It is easy to forget about the 2005 Terrorism Act and its damaging effect on civil liberties and human rights.  Act Of Terror puts the spotlight back on this murky law, and demands that we keep vigilant in the face of ever increasing state power.

An animated journey through the labyrinthine world of English Justice, the sinister caveats of Terrorism legislation, and the shocking cronyism of the police complaints system, Act Of Terror is about strength in the face of powerlessness and finding the courage to fight back.

Aerial Footage of Arkansas Exxon Oil Spill!

This is the aerial video Exxon does not want people to see of the Arkansas tar sands oil spill. Tens of thousands of gallons of oil have flooded some of the streets and yards of Mayflower, Arkansas. The Exxon tar sands oil spill is small taste of what we would see if the Keystone XL Pipeline is approved. The media is largely being kept away from this spill. In the video you can see that Exxon's plan to clean it up consists mostly of hoses and paper towels. Go to http://www.NoKXL.org and http://www.350.org to learn more and lend your support to the fight of people over profit. UPDATE: The FAA has restricted flight over the area -http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_...

The Guardian’s new GuardianWitness app

The Guardian’s new GuardianWitness app opens up reporting to the masses:
Guardian News & Media, the Guardian Media Group division responsible for publishing Guardian.co.uk and Guardiannews.com in the US, has announced a new platform enabling the public to submit content directly to Guardian journalists.
GuardianWitness has been launched in partnership with UK mobile operator EE, and lets users share videos, pictures and text directly with the Guardian’s editorial team, as well as peruse contributions from other GuardianWitness users.
Though it’s launched in partnership with EE, it seems this is purely a branding/sponsorship exercise, as it’s available to anyone on any mobile network.

Andy Baio on fair use (Copyright enforcement as the New Prohibition)

Andy Baio (Photo credit: superfluity)

Copyright enforcement as the New Prohibition: Andy Baio's speech on fair use:

Andy Baio's "The New Prohibition" is a speech given at a Creative Mornings/Portland event, expanding on his must-read "No Copyright Intended" post, about the way that the complexity of copyright and fair use effectively criminalizes a whole generation of creators. Baio documents his own experience of being bullied into giving $35K to a photographer rather than spend a decade and hundreds of thousands of dollars proving that his limited-run, 8-bit remix of a photo was fair use, and makes some practical suggestions for what a modern fair use should look like, if it is to preserve the new, networked creativity.
