| Transcribing in Linux: Easy As 1, 2, 3...
I'm fairly sure that this is not open source software. My reasoning for stating this, since I have yet to see anything even close to Express Scribe, in the open source world as of yet. Much like MainActor is to those who want entry level software for decent video editing, I see Express Scribe as filling this same need, and perhaps even hitting a more important piece of the Linux puzzle.

iTALC promotes learning on a classroom network
iTALC, or Intelligent Teaching and Learning with Computers, is a didactical tool designed to assist teachers. Despite its name, the tool itself isn't a learning environment.

Thanks to its powerful remote desktop control features, simple setup, and lack of cost, it's a potential remote assistance tool for any type of network.

Dream House TV
On a yet-to-be-chosen date, the redone home with an outdated kitchen will be the subject of a seven-minute segment on one of HGTV's most-watched shows.
"It'll be neat -- our seven minutes of fame," Norris said, after more than six hours of taping ended one rainy October afternoon.
The Baltimore homeowners are among a growing number of people mesmerized by house and landscape shows -- enough for HGTV to program extensively (more than 20 hours a day) about frog homes turned into princes, house projects and crafts, home-selling hints and buying tips, design how-tos and more. And that doesn't touch similar programs.
The cable channel is 13 years old this month; the grandpa of these shows, the nuts-and-bolts This Old House, is in its 29th season on PBS.
LATEST: Eddie Van Halen, Van Halen Tour Goes On

Gadgets PS3 Outsells Xbox 360, Bested Only by Wii in January Sales
PlayStation 3 beats all but the Wii during January hardware sales Holiday sales figures for gaming console hardware were predictable. Nintendo Wii was at the top, Xbox 360 somewhere in the middle and the PlayStation 3 near the bottom. But 2008 is a new year and so far looks nothing at all like 2007 – except, of course, the Wii is still number one. Nintendo's console sold the most in North America with 274,000 units, likely still selling out whatever is shipped to retailers. Believe it or not, second place belongs to the PlayStation 3, selling 269,000, just 5,000 fewer units than the Wii. The PS2 wasn't far behind either, with 264,000. The handheld systems occupied places fourth and fifth, with the Nintendo DS moving 251,000 and the PSP doing 230,000. Surprisingly, the Xbox 360 tied for last place with 230,000 units for the month.
Coaches look for edge with sideline gadgetry
In the age of iPhones, Blackberrys, high speed Internet modems and every other technological advance never even dreamed of in the days of "Star Trek," high school football has joined the wave. For fans on Friday nights and Saturday afternoons, the focus is on the 22 athletes on the field. But just outside the lines there's an ongoing technological revolution. Equipment checks on game day go far beyond helmets and pads. Video cameras, audio headsets and laptop computers allow coaches to gather, communicate and analyze information faster than ever. Far from camera shy Film has largely gone the way of the dinosaur as the VHS tape is making way for the recordable DVD, and coaches end the practice day working with a machine that makes three DVD copies of a game at a time, all in about five minutes.

Between the Lines Latest Post | Last 10 Posts | Archives What happens to WiMax with Sprint on the ropes? Posted in: General Wired & Wireless Telecommunications Broadband Sprint Nextel had a net loss of $29.5 billion, suspended its dividend and drew down its credit line for "financial flexibility." Meanwhile, Sprint has jumped into the wireless price war fray with its own $99.99 a month all-you-can-eat wireless plan. Sprint's woes wouldn't be a big deal if the company wasn't a key cog in the effort to bring WiMax to market. Simply put, one of WiMax's biggest champions is limping along so badly (Techmeme) that you have to wonder if the company can help push services mainstream. Let's face it: Motorola, Intel and Samsung can push WiMax all they want and even throw billions behind the effort, but you need a carrier to hook people up.
Domestic Spying
Cenk Uygur: Why Do You Need Immunity If You Haven't Broken the Law? (1 comments) The Bush administration is desperately trying to get immunity for the telecom companies inserted into the next wiretapping bill. But let me ask a simple question - why would the telecom companies need immunity if they didn't break the law? I'm not trying to be clever here. I'm asking a literal question. Isn't this an obvious admission that the administration did ask the large telecommunication companies to break the law ? Tuesday, October 9: Dave Lindorff: What are Progressives Waiting For? (8 comments) The Democrats have made it clear: They're not going to end the war, and they're not going to impeach. They're not even going to stop the spying on Americans. How much more abuse do progressives plan to stand for? Dean Powers: On Wiretapping, Democrats Ask Bush: "Would You Like it Gift-Wrapped?" (6 comments) Rooting for the Democrats is like rooting for the Chicago Cubs...
