Cenk Uygur (host of The Young Turks) on MSNBC Live speaks with millionaires who signed a letter asking president Obama to let the Bush tax cuts for the rich expire. ______ Some liberal millionaires are putting their money where their mouths are: they are calling on Democrats to stay true to their word and allow the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest to expire next year. Joining the likes of Warren Buffett and George Soros, a calling themselves "patriotic millionaires" want President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats to raise their taxes to levels before former President George W. Bush cut them in 2001. "We have done very well over the last several years," about 50 millionaires including several early Google Inc. executives and the founder of IAC's Ask.com, say in a letter to leaders. "We don't need more tax cuts, and we understand that cutting our taxes will increase the deficit and the debt burden carried by other taxpayers." Obama wants to let lower tax rates expire above the first $200000 of an individual's income but has been clashing with Republicans, and some in his own party, in Congress on a deal to prevent all taxpayers from seeing hikes on January 1. The group is asking policymakers to extend the higher rates for those making more than $1 million. New York Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer has suggested that benchmark, as have some others. "They felt comfortable speaking for themselves and their income bracket," a spokeswoman for the group said. The ...

The Liv Tyler video - www.youtube.com TWITTER - bit.ly bit.ly bit.ly YouTube is a video-sharing website on which users can upload, share, and view videos. Three former PayPal employees created YouTube in February 2005.[3] In November 2006, YouTube, LLC was bought by Google Inc. for $1.65 billion, and is now operated as a subsidiary of Google. The company is based in San Bruno, California, and uses Adobe Flash Video technology to display a wide variety of user-generated video content, including movie clips, TV clips, and music videos, as well as amateur content such as video blogging and short original videos. Most of the content on YouTube has been uploaded by individuals, although media corporations including CBS, BBC, VEVO and other organizations offer some of their material via the site, as part of the YouTube partnership program.[4] Unregistered users can watch the videos, while registered users are permitted to upload an unlimited number of videos. Videos that are considered to contain potentially offensive content are available only to registered users 18 and older. YouTube was founded by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim, who were all early employees of PayPal.[5] Hurley studied design at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, while Chen and Karim studied computer science together at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.[6] According to a story that has often been repeated in the media, Chad Hurley and Steve Chen developed the idea for YouTube during ...

Google Tech Talk January 24, 2011 Presented by Sebastian Deterding ABSTRACT Foursquare, GetGlue, Nike+, Badgeville: From reading news to fulfilling your hearts' desires, more and more "gameified" applications and "gamification" vendors doll out points and badges to users, promising anything from increased user engagement and retention to plain mind control. While some hold that adding such game elements to non-game applications opens a new decade of design, others criticize current implementations as shallow "pointsification" and overselling of a new digital snake oil. What lessons do games really offer for user experience design? Which criticisms are valid? And what can designers interested in "gameifying" an application do to steer clear of the worst pitfalls? In this talk, researcher and designer Sebastian Deterding provides an overview of the current gamification movement, its most troubling blind spots, the motivational powers of games, and how to design for a playful experience that is truly meaningful to its users. Sebastian Deterding - Sebastian Deterding is a user experience designer and game researcher at the University of Hamburg, Germany, where he currently pursues a PhD on the motivational psychology of gameified applications. He speaks and publishes internationally on gamification, social games, and the social contexts of video games at events such as the Gamification Summit, Gamescom, reboot, Playful, or DiGRA. His work has been covered by The Guardian, the ...

This is more a Call to Action than a typical commentary. We need your video responses, even if you have nothing to say other than "I support open debates"! That's fine. Anything is better than silence. We also need to write Google, Obama, and McCain expressing our demand for Nader to be in the debate, along with any other candidate who reaches 5 percent or more in the polls. Pressure Obama not to slink away from a debate which promises to be more democratic than the CPD debates. Call him out on this one. Below are the entities you need to contact followed by part of a long-winded article I wrote which continues on my website. Google, Inc.
