Andy Plesser: (Video) BBC Taps Adobe for Digital Delivery of London 2012 Olympic Games, Streamed in the U.K.


SAN FRANCISCO - (Via Skype Video) Adobe will power live streaming and on-demand delivery to digital devices of the London 2012 Olympics for the BBC, says?Ashley Still, Director of Video Solutions at Adobe Systems in this interview with Beet.TV. The BBC will use Adobe's Project Primetime video technology platform to reach viewers in the United Kingdom via computers, smartphones, tablets and connected TVs.

"There will be more content available on the Internet than over TV," Still tells us in this video interview. "BBC is the first large customer we can talk about that is extensively using components of Project Primetime."

The Adobe tools, for instance, will allow the BBC to simulcast events live on digital devices, and then also turn those feeds into on-demand clips. The programming coverage will be accessible on both Apple and Android devices.

The London Olympics is being billed as the first digital Olympics. "You can really see the shifts that have happened in consumer adoption of new technology every two to four years. It's amazing for mobile," Still tells us.

NBC Sports is also using Adobe's Project Primetime in the United States.

In London in June, at BBC headquarters, we spoke with the BBC's Cait O'Riordan, Head of Product, Sport and Olympics 2012.? Please find that interview on this page, below.

Iron Maiden calls out fan for texting

By Gael Fashingbauer Cooper

People text each other from the oddest places these days -- bathrooms, roller coasters, water parks. But one fan was called out quite publicly when he decided to text rather continuously from, of all places, an Iron Maiden concert.

Bruce Dickinson, leader of the British heavy metal band, spotted the texter and screamed out, "Oh, for (expletive) sake, the guy with the bald head and the white shirt, you've been texting for the last (expletive) three songs. You're a (British expletive)!"

The scolding was captured on video during Maiden's concert at Klipsch Music Center in Indianapolis on July 19, and the video's quickly been passed around. Dickinson didn't spend much time worrying about the clueless fan. Right after calling him out, the band ripped into "Wasted Years."

Whose side are you on -- Dickinson's or the texting fan's? Vote in our poll, and tell us on Facebook.

Whose side are you on?

Half of mobile gamers use phones and tablets as primary home entertainment console

Half of mobile gamers use phones and tablets as primary home entertainment conso

A recent survey of U.K. and U.S. mobile gamers by PopCap shows that around 50% of respondents preferred their phone to PC, console, or dedicated handheld gaming console (like a  PSP or Nintendo DS). Tablet owners ranked a bit higher with 57%. Despite the portability that tablets and smartphones offer, 69% reported to play on their phones at home on the couch (78% among tablet owners), 41% while watching TV (52% for tablet owners), and 57% while in bed (51%). 10% of the 602 American respondents had played mobile games while in a place of worship, driving a car, and/or while watching a movie at a theater. The survey's sample size was a little over a thousand-strong - take that as representative or not as you will.  

With stuff like Ouya coming out of the woodwork, I'd be interested to see just how much Android manages to displace the traditional console gaming industry and which players are savvy enough to get with the times. So far, EA has done a great job of adapting to and addressing the mobile market, meanwhile Nintendo has been vocally against the app store model.

Will players really take to switching to mobile full-time, though? I know I've definitely spent less time on my Alienware since getting really involved with mobile games, but what about you guys? Is your Xbox getting jealous of your tablet?

News and Society Green Energy is Much More Than a Pipe Dream ...

Wh?n talking ?b??t green energy, wh?t ?r? w? really talking ?b??t? In a nutshell, green energy ?? energy th?t comes fr?m ?n? one ?f th? following renewable energy sources: wind, Sun/Solar, water/ hydroelectric, geothermal, biofuels ?nd biomass energy. Th?r? ?? n? way th?t ??? ?r? n?t going t? find ??m? form ?f green energy ?n play anywhere ?n th? world ?t ?n? given moment. Th?? article w?ll discuss h?w each renewable energy source ?? considered t? b? green energy, starting w?th wind power.

Geothermal Energy

Although geothermal energy ?? n?t ?? widely used ?? th? others ?r? ?t ?? a green energy source; ?? ?t comes fr?m th? movement ?f th? magma beneath th? Earth?s crust ?nd fr?m th? volcanic activity ?ll over th? planet. Th? hot springs th?t h??? b??n ?r??t?d ?nd kept warm ?ll over th? planet ?r? clear ??t evidence ?f th? geothermal energy th?t ?? th?r? f?r th? taking.

Water/ Hydroelectric Power

Th?r? ?? a gr??t deal t? b? ???d f?r th? worldwide appeal ?f hydroelectric power. A? a matter ?f fact, th?r? ?r? n?t many countries ?n th?? planet wh?r? water ?? n?t being ??t t? use t? ?r??t? th? hydroelectric power th?t ?? ?? abundant ?nd ?? ?l?? a source ?f green energy. Th? ?nl? way w? w?ll ???r lose th?? renewable energy source ?? ?f ??r atmosphere gets stripped away ?nd w? h??? t? deal w?th th? full brunt ?f cosmic radiation th?t w?ll evaporate ??r water. Hydroelectric power generation ?? precisely wh? th? Hoover Dam w?? built ?n th? first ?l??? folks!

Sun/Solar Power

Y???ve g?t t? admit th?t th? power th?t ??r Sun provides ?? another readily available source ?f green energy f?r anyone wh? cares t? take th? time t? g?t ??m? solar panels th?t w?ll harness th?? nearly endless supply ?f th? renewable energy th?t w?, ?? a planet, ?r? beginning t? look t?. Wh?l? ??m? solar panels ?r? n?t th?t cheap, ??? ??n find ??m? th?t ?r? within ???r price range. Look ?t ?ll th? solar powered items ?n th? market already!

Wind Power

Th?r? ?r? two main reasons wh? wind power ?nd wind mill/wind turbine generated electricity ?r? considered t? b? green energy: th?? w?ll n?t b? gone ?n? time t?? soon ?nd th?? d? n?t cause ?n? more pollution t? ?r ?f th? environment around ??. Th?r? ?? always going t? b? a wind blowing somewhere ?nd ?t really d??? n?t matter whether th?t wind ?? ?nl? a slight breeze ?r a brisk wind ?r hurricane/ tornado strength winds. Wind turbines ?r? getting more ?nd more ????l?r ?? w? b?g?n really embracing green energy ?? a way ?f life.
