Leon Panetta is new to the intelligence community — but analysts say that's not necessarily a bad thing
• FOX FORUM: Will Panetta Be a Problem or a Prize?
• Obama Pledges to 'Hone and Refine' Stimulus Plan

I'd like to thank this week's kottke.org RSS sponsor, Stephen Voss. Voss is a freelance photographer based in Washington DC who has traveled around the world shooting for magazines, organizations, and -- if you read between the lines on his bio page -- for himself. He's shot Obama, the destroyed churches of New Orleans, the Fleet Foxes, Alan Greenspan, and in China. I could say more, but Voss' portfolio speaks for itself. If your company or organization has a project that would benefit from Voss' services, get in touch.

Beyond the break you;'ll find the first images and DVD cover art to Sony Home Entertainment's Steven Seagal starrer AGAINST THE DARK, which arrives on February 10th. Katana master Tao (Steven Seagal) leads a special ops squad of ex-military vigilantes on a massacre mission, their target: vampires. On the post apocalyptic globe, sucked dry by bloodthirsty vampires, a few remaining survivors are trapped in an infected hospital. Tao is their only hope and he knows the only cure is execution. Now it's time for the last stand against the flesh-eating vampires and there's nothing left to lose but the last of humanity.

pAri Brandt has left his role as digital media head of Condé Nast Business Media Group Online and joined ad technology provider a href="http://linkstorm.com/" title="Linkstorm"Linkstorm/a as CEO. Linkstorm's founding CEO, David Sidman, will stay on as chairman of the board. In July 2006, Brandt was tapped as general manager of digital media for Condé Nast iPortfolio/i. Before that, Brandt served as director of ad solutions at Yahoo (a href="http://finance.paidcontent.org/paidcontent?Page=QUOTETicker=YHOO" class="ticker" title="YHOO"NSDQ: YHOO/a), which he had held since March 2005. He oversaw the strategy for Yahoo Tech and was the business lead for Yahoo Finance and Yahoo News./p pConsidering the troubles major media companies have been having lately, going to a company that promises marketers improved ad effectiveness like Linkstorm seems like a sound move. Still, display advertising is troubled too. Nevertheless, as Brandt indicated in a statement,nbsp; the challenges facing online media may also work in eight-year-old Linkstorm's favor./p pstrongRelated/strong/p ul class="related" lia href="http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/industry-moves-yahoo-exec-at-conde-nast-portfolio-helmhttp://www.paidcontent.org/entry/industry-moves-yahoo-exec-at-conde-nast-portfolio-helm" title="Industry Moves: Yahoo Exec at Conde Nast Portfolio Helm"Industry Moves: Yahoo Exec at Conde Nast Portfolio Helm/a/li lia href="http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-contextual-ad-provider-linkstorm-completes-42-million-third-round" title="Contextual Ad Provider Linkstorm Completes $4.2 Million Third Round"Contextual Ad Provider Linkstorm Completes $4.2 Million Third Round/a/li /ul piSocial Media Deals Report: This 199-page report, filled with charts and data, examines the categories, number and size of VC and MA deal in social media from 2007 through 2008. stronga href="http://www.paidcontent.org/reports/"Visit the ContentNext Reports page/a/strongi/p pa href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/pcorg?a=LVcO9I"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/pcorg?i=LVcO9I" border="0"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?a=ButlDB.P"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?i=ButlDB.P" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?a=kj6jgY.P"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?i=kj6jgY.P" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?a=N5M6Vq.p"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?i=N5M6Vq.p" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?a=cHs2dJ.P"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?i=cHs2dJ.P" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?a=jZCfgf.P"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/pcorg?i=jZCfgf.P" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/pcorg/~4/507587783" height="1" width="1"/

pimg src="http://paidcontent.org/images/uploads/maniatv_pic.jpg" alt="image" align="right" width="200" height="171" /ManiaTV, one of the biggest online content studios, has tried to make money in a whole host of ways, from user-generated content (which it a href="http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-online-video-provider-maniatv-relaunches-without-user-gen" title="pulled the plug on in 2007"pulled the plug on in 2007/a), to letting brands sponsor skins on their video players, to branded entertainment like the Wrigley-backed a href="http://www.maniatv.com/content/site/videolanding.skin=jukebox.html#cp:,content,videos,jukebox,stage5,season_2,all_access___walter_meego_s__forever___live_on_stage_5___all_access___ep_12;" title="Stage 5"Stage 5/a show. But the five-year-old studio is about to launch its most ambitious venture yet: it's jumping into the music business with a new show called iMaking the Music/i, which effectively seeks to take over the role long played by the music labels. The original series is focused on hip-hop producer Scoop Deville as he works on a new album—band maniaTV will get a cut of the revenues once the LP is released/b. /p pDeville, who has produced songs for artists like Snoop Dogg, will preview potential album tracks during each episode; viewers get to vote on the best beat/rapper combination and the winning track gets uploaded to the site and iTunes each week. bmaniaTV CEO Peter Hoskins/b told me the show will serve as a hybrid promotional/market research vehicle: viewer analytics will give the team a better read on the demographics of Deville's fan base, which will help him decide when and where to go on tour. bThe studio is also signing up brand sponsors for iMaking the Music/i, further "mitigating the down side" of being in the music business/b, Hoskins said. So while maniaTV has got some skin in the game—the money it invests in Deville could potentially be recouped along the way if his album flops.nbsp; /p pI asked Hoskins about how he thought the studio would fare in with ad revenues this year, since maniaTV a href="http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-layoffs-roundup-maniatvs-20-ticketmasters-300-permissiontvs-6" title="laid off 20 employees last year"laid off 20 employees last year/a and said it would be cutting back its original series output.

Seamster posted this instructable for making an impressively accurate Atari joystick lamp -I have a few basic hand tools and a few small power tools. I started this project doubtful of how I was going to accomplish each step with my relatively small supply of tools, but I came up with some creative ways to use them to get what I wanted. I did have to practice making most of the parts multiple times before I got them the way I wanted them. This was by far the most difficult and time consuming thing I've ever made, but I'm very pleased with the result.Nicely done! - Giant Atari Joystick Lamp

You don't expect unboxing pr0n on a program development board like this, but uC Hobby thought this board and box was different. The board itself even has a snazzy tat. I'm not familiar with the AVR Dragon. Is this treatment new? The board has labels silk-screened on both side, too, which is nice.

Quote: In six weeks, February 17th, the US is scheduled to switch to digital TV transmissions. However, it might as well not happen if the suggestions of President-elect Barack Obama and his transition team are followed. The co-chairman of Obama's transition team John Podesta addressed the switch program and requested a delay. According to The New York Times blog TV Decoder Podesta said that funding of the transition has been "inadequate".

In addition to consumers, major television companies are ready to back up or consider the delay. NBC and ABC support the delay as well as PBS which is afraid that due to insufficient coupons some of the children would no longer have access to free educational shows such as their Sesame Street. CBS has informed that they are willing to consider the suggestion.

In December Nielsen Media Research released a report which estimated that 7.8 million US over-the-air households haven't upgraded for digital television. The converter coupon program has run out of coupons and the waiting list is getting longer. Podesta estimates that the waiting list, with currently over one million requests, could grow by hundreds of thousands every day. According to NY Times, Obama's economic recovery package would include additional funds to digital TV transition. http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/16568.cfm

Vista has been nothing but trouble with me. I already got a BSoD from uninstalling one thing and installing 2 thing without rebooting (I know it was stupid, but I shouldnt of gotten a BSoD). But I do like Vista more than XP.

My question is, are you going to upgrading, formating, or skip windows 7?

Sorry to make another topic but this one is irrelevant to the other. Because i can read, i understand that all the videos claiming to have 2G jailbreaks are fake because not even Chronic's Dev Blogs has updates coming close to it.

i found a video, it was about 8 minutes long, i watched it, saw nothing suspicious, all the comments are positive (though i know he could easily just create many accoutns and comment himself)

My question is, what does he or anybody else gain from wasting their time to make these fake videos? HE went into such detail of explaining himself and how he was jailbreaking a 2G. What does he get out of faking it?

There’s little doubt that Twitter was one of the most talked about startups over the past year. But just how much did it grow in 2008? The final numbers are in, and according to Compete, they’re astounding: 752%, for a total of 4.43 million unique visitors in December.

After starting the year with only around 500,000 unique monthly visitors, Twitter saw its most dramatic growth in the back half of ’08, picking up more than one million additional visitors in December alone. And that’s all just in the US. Here’s the chart:

Also notable in the just-updated Compete stats: Facebook closed ’08 by passing MySpace in US traffic by the slimmest of margins. While other stats services still show MySpace with a significant lead, the report we most frequently cite – Nielsen Online – has also shown a rapid closing of the gap in recent months. Look for those stats on Mashable in the next week or two.
