Grand Army
Hey Guys!
So here is something interesting i found the other day. A few students who graduated from UD four years ago with degrees in visual communications (my major). These UD alumni have started a company known as GrandArmy, a advertising agency made famous by their NASCAR and X-GAMES commercials. The GrandArmy was just recently announced as the winners of the Young Guns Competition in NY, an honor coveted by many artists.
I hope you all enjoy!

Facebook's New Multimedia Platform
According to the New York Times today, Facebook is about to unveil a new platform that could change the face of multimedia sharing worldwide.
Though details are sparse until a developer's conference on Thursday, Facebook's new multimedia features will supposedly "allow people to easily share their favorite music, television shows and movies, effectively making the basic profile page a primary entertainment hub".
Music sharing seems to be a big part of the new Facebook experience, so online music hubs are expected to have to make big changes in order to compete with the new platform. Sites such as Rhapsody and Spotify are expected to be merging with the Facebook community in order to provide free music listening and sharing.
More details to follow on this story as they are released!

Device Protection
So you were at the Library and had to run to get something from your car. Rather than clean up all of your things you decided to leave your bag, books, and laptop sitting at a table. When you returned, to your utter dismay, you discovered that the laptop was no longer there.
While you might think that this could never occur in the library, it has actually happened many times. First, of course, never leave your things unattended. Second, what if your phone or laptop were taken from a secure place, how would you get them back?
There are a number of programs out there that can help. Here are two of them. . . one for Mac and the other for PC:
Prey (Mac). Prey is a software program that can run in the background on your device. If your phone or laptop gets taken, you can access Prey through a browser, which will activate the software on your computer through a wired Internet connection or will search for an open wireless connection. Data can then be collected to identify the whereabouts of your property, including activating the iSight camera to take a photo.

LockItTight (PC). Like Prey, LockItTight is a software program that can run in the background and collect important information such as key logging, webcam capture, screen capture, etc. to aid authorities in getting your property back.
