Garda Prank Call

I don’t think I’ve posted about this but the original audio was picked up by gingerpixel a while back. Now the punters over at Bloggorah found the audio put to animation over on YouTube. So what does happen when you call a one garda station on a mobile phone and another station on a second mobile while holding the phones together…..

A bit problem for YouTube?

The BBC is reporting that a Brazilian judge has ordered YouTube to remove a clip of supermodel Daniela Cicarelli romping in the sea in Spain (ya gotta love the word ‘romping’). The problem is that the initial order was issued in September and the file has since appeared under various guises. The court is ordering that YouTube do more to see that it doesn’t appear again but how are they meant to scan for something like this?

To my knowledge, it would be very difficult for an algorithm to detect a particular video. Perhaps you could do a check on the file size but thousands of videos would have similiar if not exactly the same sizes. Of course the video descriptions and tags could be checked but will that be 100% successful? This all follows a call early in December from a Japanese rights holders group calling for YouTube to proactively check if videos infringe copyright. I can see YouTube needing more staff over the next few months.

This is just sweet. Finetune is a site that lets you search music artists, and once you select who you want, you get a great selection of their songs to listen to. They’ve specifically created an interface for the Wii at: www.finetune.com/wii We tried it out briefly earlier on and it works really well. The audio quality is very good and buffering wasn’t a problem. It also displays the cover artwork for each song if it has it. There’s a video after the break:
