When the earthquake hit Northern California, the whole world was moved. Thanks, in part, to the diligent news coverage provided by Conus Communications and our members, especially KTXL (Sacramento/Stockton) and KHJ (Los Angeles). In the six days following the earthquake, the Conus Satellite News Cooperative exchanged more than 500 live, custom reports from the Bay area. Even with all that coverage we weren't able to meet every demand. But the five Conus SNG trucks on the scene did transmit more custom -tailored earthquake insight to local stations than any other news organization.

    Why John Madden Football Has Been Such A Success Kevin Dious STS 145: The History of Computer Game Design: Technology, Culture, Business Professor: Henry Lowood March 18, 2002 Kevin Dious STS 145: The History of Computer Game Design: Technology, Culture, Business Professor: Henry Lowood March 18, 2002 Why John Madden Football Has Been Such A Success Case History Athletic competition has been a part of the human culture since its inception. One of the most popular and successful sports of today’s culture is American football. This sport has grown into a worldwide phenomenon, and like the video game industry, has become a multi-billion entity. It was only a matter of time until game developers teamed up with the National Football League (NFL) to bring magnificent sport to video game players across the globe. There are few, if any, game genres that are as popular as sports games. With the ever-increasing popularity of the NFL, it was inevitable that football games would become one of the most lucrative of the sports game genre. With all of the companies making football games for consoles and PCs during the late 1980s and 1990s, there is one particular company that clearly stood and remains above the rest, Electronic Arts. EA Sports, the sports division of Electronic Arts, revolutionized not only the football sports games but also the entire sports game genre itself. Before Electronic Arts entered the sports realm, league licenses, celebrity endorsements, and re-release of games were all unheard of. EA was one of the first companies to release the same game annually, creating several series of games that are thriving even today.

  • Personalized ESG for Converged Digital Broadcast and 3G Mobile Services
    Master Thesis Personalized ESG for converged digital broadcast and 3G mobile services Student: Xu Zhang (s050881) Supervisors: Reza Tadayoni and Michael Petersen CICT·Technical University of Denmark January 2008 Master Thesis s050881 Xu Zhang Technical University of Denmark Informatics and Mathematical Modeling Center for Information and Communication Technologies Building 372, DK-2800 Kongens Lyngby, Denmark 1 Master Thesis s050881 Xu Zhang Abstract The current designs of conventional Electronic Service Guides (ESGs) are an increasingly inefficient way for users to discover and select something to watch from the large amounts of digital broadcast content for Mobile TV available on handsets. One of the options to improve the design involves personalizing media selection from the existing Electronic Service Guide. The opportunity to deliver personalization has been made easier by the rapid pace of convergence. The overall aim of the project is to explore how to realize personalized ESG based on shifting contexts in converged digital broadcast and 3G environments. This report covers a review of various aspects influencing ESG design, an analysis of the stakeholders involved in mobile TV, and the planning, implementation and analysis of a case study based on a broadcaster. On this basis, an ESG design is proposed and preliminary work has been done on a prototype. The report concludes with a brief discussion of ESGs for Mobile TV and suggestions for future work. 2 Master Thesis s050881 Xu Zhang Preface This project is the last step of my master’s education in Telecommunications Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The thesis work was carried out at Center for Information and Communication Technologies the period from June 2007 to January 2008 with a workload of 35 ECTS points.
