http://live.watchmactv.com/ represents an interesting "fusion" cooking of Internet technologies. At the site, one can subscribe via RSS to videofeeds from the site, encoded in the new h.264 codec. A 2 minute download using broadband can produce 2-3 minutes of video at a very good image size (640 by 480). All this it is presumed will be "squirtable" into an iPod more or less automatically. It seems to have some interesting pedagogic potential. Combined with eg the CMLRSS way of entraining molecules in a feed, and the potential of including RDF information (RDF is a way of associating formal information about the purpose of a link) it seems the scope for re-inventing chemical publishing continues unabated. I suppose the ultimate incarnation is that one's iPod could contain in effect a personalised issue of a chemical journal, but enhanced with eg molecule coordinates and other chemical information, in association with other articles, audio, video, etc etc. And just to complete the full range of geekery, http://www.fingergear.com/ would allow all of this to be accessed only if the appropriate biometric identification is supplied! -- Henry Rzepa. +44 (020) 7594 5774 (Voice); +44 (0870) 132 3747 (eFax); rzepahs@mac.com (iChat) http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/rzepa/ Dept.
