ABS-CBN has been really mad at people who upload clips from their shows (or even the whole show itself) on video sharing sites. A lot of these illegally posted clips are being deleted as soon as they have been found or reported. I just don’t know why ABS-CBN hates YouTube people but these YouTube people would end up as their source for video clips too.
Copyright. Copyright. Copyright. I know.
YouTube has been a haven for television fans that misses a portion of their favorite television shows. There are a lot of people who religiously upload episodes and or portions of certain TV shows on YouTube for people who have missed them. The people who upload copyrighted materials (ABS-CBN shows) on YouTube makes ABS-CBN so mad that they asked YouTube to remove these videos and eventually delete the account of the user.
I find it very ironic that at the end of the day, YouTube would still be a source of ABS-CBN for video clips. You hate people who upload your videos on YouTube because they are violating copyright then why choose it as your video source? There have been numerous times that ABS-CBN cites YouTube as source of their video on their news reports and television shows. Without YouTube, we won’t be seeing the video of Charice’s performance on Ellen, Oprah and other international shows. Without YouTube, Madonna Decena and Charlie Green would be unknown to us. Again, why are they using YouTube as source of these videos knowing the fact that the people who uploaded the Ellen, Oprah, and Britain Got’s Talent video on YouTube violates copyright too? ABS-CBN, just imagine your life without YouTube.
And by the way, citing YouTube is like citing Google or any search engine as your source, which is very stupid. Why not put the name of the uploader? Or why not contact the broadcasting company of the show and ask for the copy of the video and pay certain royalty fees? Oh, I’m not surprised that ABS-CBN is fond of using Garageband Royalty-Free music on their shows.
Join me as I live blog the upcoming American Idol Season 7 Finale. The Top 2 Performance Night would be a delayed blog coverage as I don’t have the access to the live broadcast of American Idol. As far as I know and according to the TV schedule, only the results night would be broadcasted live here. If you have seen my Miss Universe live blog coverage, this one would be better. I’ll be providing you guys with photos, videos, audio clips and more from the show. See you on the 21st and 22nd of May for the finale of American Idol Season 7!
Note: US GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY PREDICTS A 6.8 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE WILL HIT PHILIPPINE PLATES TONIGHT.PLS BE CALM & ALERT. This txt msg is from Hawaii state emergency preparedness office. Pls pass (no harm in being prepared) lets pray dis will not happen.
This was the text message, which was being forwarded to me and even my family members since this morning. In fact, even the people were following in Twitter are tweeting about it. My mom called our house just to check on us!
According to an interview conducted by DZMM with Director Renato Solidum of PHIVOLCS (Philippine Institute of Volcanology & Seismology), there is no truth to this text message. He also added that there is no such thing as US Geological Society and Hawaii State Emergency Preparedness Office. In fact, the US counterpart of PHIVOLCS is the US Geological Survey not Society. You could view the YouTube video I have uploaded. Dir. Renato Solidum also noted that it there is neither instrument nor technology that can predict when and where an earthquake can occur. Solidum states that there is really a possibility that an earthquake this massive (6.8 magnitude as noted on the text message) can occur in the Philippines. But the thing is, no one can determine when would this occur (of course except the psychics.). Solidum adviced the public not to forward the text messages.

PHIVOLCS CLARIFICATION
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology would like to inform the general public that the text message currently circulating in the Philippines about a prediction by a certain “US Geological Society” of a “magnitude 6.8 earthquake to hit Philippine Plates tonight”, purportedly issued by the “Hawaii State Emergency Preparedness Office” IS A HOAX. This hoax started the day after the Magnitude 7.9 China earthquake of May 12, 2008.
There is no organization currently capable of predicting an earthquake which is very specific in terms of magnitude and the date. There is no “US Geological Society”, only US Geological SURVEY but this agency does not issue immediate predictions especially for areas outside the United States of America. Past experiences show that rumors of a predicted strong earthquake are common after disastrous earthquakes in nearby countries.
The Philippines can be affected by a major earthquake but as to when exactly this would happen cannot be predicted and what is important is we continue to practice earthquake preparedness and risk reduction measures. via [PHIVOLCS Website]
Here’s TV Patrol’s feature on the rumors spreading thru text message about a 6.8 magnitude earthquake striking the Philippines tonight.
I bought my iPhone just a month ago and I’m very happy with it. Well, good news to those who are waiting for the iPhone to become available here in the Philippines because Globe Telecom is bringing it here. There is still no definite date for the Philippine launch of the iPhone. But rest assured that the iPhone would be available in the Philippines, Singapore, India, and Australia this year.
Good job to Globe for finally signing the agreement with Apple. I just hope that the iPhone would not be overpriced. I do hope that when the 3G iPhone comes out in the US is that it would be released here in the Philippines simultaneously.
I guess that people will still jailbreak their iPhones even though it is bought from Globe as jailbreaking the iPhone would maximize the iPhone’s resources.

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem is home for more than 3,000 ongoing research projects, 1,200 researchers, 1,400 registered patents, and 5 Nobel laureates that are supported by the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. Because of this, the Yissum Research and Developmental Company was established in 1964 to encourage and enhance more the “inventiveness” of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem is in the world’s top fifteen academic institutions as measured by revenues coming from intellectual property fees.
Yissum Research and Developmental Company serves as the Technology Transfer Services for the university. Yissum is responsible on the ongoing assessment, protection and commercial optimization of Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s intellectual property. Yissum’s annual revenues were reported around $40 million. The large percentage of their revenue comes from royalty fees.
Serving as the Technology Transfer University for Hebrew University of Jerusalem, they also made partnership with researchers and worldwide businesses to develop more commercial markets and through licensing, establishing companies, and or enhance the market value and performance of inventions made by Hebrew University of Jerusalem. These partnerships help the Hebrew University of Jerusalem to increase their invention’s availability to the global marketplace. It was also reported that the Yissum Research and Developmental Company receives an annual budget amounting to $77 million.
Hebrew University of Jerusalem recently focuses more on the medical arena; their concept is to use cellular technology to send X-rays and other medical diagnostics. This innovation allows the use of a smaller, less expensive and easier to use Data Acquisition Device, which is also known as DAD at remote patient sites. This would bring advanced medical technology into areas, which can’t afford much expensive medical technology. This would really help the medical industry as bringing MRIs and X-rays into rural places are not practical.
Yissums Research and Developmental Company’s list of products and companies is very vast and full of recognized names on the medical and technology field. Their products ranges from Alzheimer and dementia treatment Exelon, dry-eye treatments Cationorm and LO2A (Lacrycon, Dropyal), ovarian cancer treatment Doxil (Caeylx), UV-protection product UV-Pearls—already adopted by major companies for sunscreens and cosmetics, and a variety of other pharmaceutical products. And the long list goes on. Who would forget the long shell life tomatoes?
In the end, Yissum serves the Hebrew University of Jerusalem by protecting intellectual properties and encouraging the researchers to move forward with innovations and technologies, which would benefit, by the whole world.
