Whats the difference between Open software and Free software?

The term "free software" was coined by Richard Stallman, and is associated with the 'Free software oundation'. The term "open source" was coined by Eric Raymond and is advocated by him and other people at the 'Open source Initiative'. However, "Open software" and "Free software" are the same it just changed name to Open software to not cause any confusion about it being "free" and not cheap, that it is free and you can change the programming codes.

Week 7 Tutorial Task

Prosess 

My group has decided to make a movie about communication technologies and when we use them. Originally we were supposed to make up a ‘fake’ person and see how easy it is to fool people on the internet about who you really are, but we soon found out that it required more time than planned. So we settled with plan B. In our progress we have started filming and editing so hopefully our movie is ready soon.

Week 7 - Response to content

Wikipedia is useful for basic information that you can further research on. It’s a great place to begin your research.

I have edited Wikipedia before it’s about 6 years ago, back when anyone could write anything on Wikipedia. I and my friends made a wiki page about our friend Kim. It was something along those lines of “Kim is a lonely creature who lives in an apartment above Coop Mega. Kim’s main nutrition is Nutella and spagballs”. Great fun for everyone involved. It was taken down after about a month. Now the average person can’t change anything on Wikipedia unless you they have permission like a certificate.

Facebook works because everyone uses it. It has become like a daily newspaper where you see news and storylines about your friends, family and acquaintances. It’s an easy way to communicate with people, send messages and be up to date on what other people are doing. It works because people are curious about other people in their lives.

In order for me to delete my Facebook, would be if everybody else I knew deleted theirs.

Week 6 Tutorial Task

1. Windows Live Movie Maker

To import files from wherever you just upload them to t your computer and go into Movie Maker and click on “Drag videos and photos here or click to browse for them”, then you choose a file or an image to drag into the Movie maker. To edit the time of pictures to longer or shorter time you click “video tools” and adjust “duration”. To transition images, you go to the Animations tab and choose a transition that you want.

2. Copyright

To avoid copyright violation, make sure you acknowledge the person that has the copyrights.  To do so is simple, just put the source on the end of your movie or under the picture whichever is appropriate.

3. Defamation

Defamation of character can do serious harm to a business, product or service, group, organization, and even race. In a general sense, defamation of character refers mainly to a written statement or claim or broadcast made against another that creates a negative image. These statements or claims may be considered factual or true, but are still treated as a crime.

Those who commit defamation of character usually consist of competitors, former disgruntled employees, and dissatisfied customers. These are the most common. However, there are also people out there who do it just to get a kick out of it.

Hollywood vs. Internet

Is downloading killing Hollywood or could it be the path to new beginnings? No, Internet is not Killing Hollywood not when it comes to cinema. Cinema has been standing still slightly for the last decade with no new ground breaking technology since the ability to create photo-realistic digital effects and digital projection besides 3D which has proved to be more of a gimmick that is warming out its welcome among film-goers.

 Internet needs Hollywood in order to have great movies to download. Internet is also used to commercialize trailers for Hollywood. People still like going to the movies, not just for the film’s sake but also cause it are a couple and group activity. However when it comes to everyday movies that you rent in your local blockbuster, yes downloading is easier. If you could choose between downloading a movie for free at home, or get dressed, get out, take the bus or drive somewhere, pay for the move and interact with other human beings on a shitty day, what would you do? Of course you choose to stay home, it saves you bus fare / petrol money and you can do it in your underwear.
