We've all been sucked into an ideological view that somehow computing - because its not industrial - is resource free. I've always thought the idea of 'cyberspace' that relies on postman pat to actually make any money is a good paradox. You should have a look at the papers that we posted in PMHub from Sean Cubitt's presentation on 'Ubiquitous Media Rare Earth' - server farms now have as big a carbon footprint as airlines in the U.S. That doesn't mean we all want pay though !

]]> Comment on TV Screen in Gusto! by Yorkshire Joe http://www.dontdoitdan.co.uk/2009/09/tv-screen-in-gusto/comment-page-1/#comment-12 Yorkshire Joe Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:24:48 +0000 http://www.dontdoitdan.co.uk/?p=124#comment-12 On the subject of casino advertisments, i saw one the other day whose advertising premise was being shipped off to a remote caribbean island. The tag line of the company was "Ola Tombola" Firstly, its Hola, not Ola...if we are to assume they are wanting to be talking spanish, if not then 'ola' would be correct for the portuguese language. And Secondly, the island featured was undoubtebly caribbean in climate, landscape and relative flora and fauna. So i therefore put to you, why would they be speaking spanish in the carribbean. The only places to do so are the dominican rep. and cuba and this place was definately neither. On that note, no where in the caribbean does anyone speak portuguese...the closest portuguese speakers are some thousands of miles away. I was incredibley frustrated by this obvious error in cultural indentification!
