I am not an American. I do not watch TV, nor do I watch American TV. However, I do have quite an active life here in the web. This brings my attention to particularly interesting videos, some of the times they come straight from TV, American TV. I've been able to recognise intelligent well made video reports from faux news.

Aaron Seigo gives a very interesting overview of why should we and particularly companies and governments use open formats. In the technological era we are not able to read a document that is 5 or 10 years old, but we are well able to read books that are hundreds of years old. This paradox is due to wrong choices of using proprietary formats, which can only slow down our collective knowledge and put barriers to our communication.
