The US military has launched its own channel on YouTube, in efforts to shift the media’s focus of Iraq from a negative to a more positive light, and to ‘counter the messages of anti-American sites.’ From the article: ‘The footage is not picked specifically to show the military in a good light … and is only edited for reasons of time or content too graphic to be shown on YouTube … And while all the clips currently posted have been shot by the military’s combat cameramen, soldiers and marines have been invited to submit their own clips.’ The question is, where are they supposed to submit them? Starting ‘on or about 14 May 2007′, the Department of Defense will block troop access to Myspace, Youtube, MTV, and more sites, due to a ‘growing concern for our unclassified DoD Internet, known as the NIPRNET’.

NEW YORK, Feb 7 (Reuters) – New Yorkers who blithely cross the street listening to an iPod or talking on a cell phone could soon face a $100 fine.

New York State Sen. Carl Kruger says three pedestrians in his Brooklyn district have been killed since September upon stepping into traffic while distracted by an electronic device. In one case bystanders screamed “watch out” to no avail.

Kruger says he will introduce legislation on Wednesday to ban the use of gadgets such as Blackberry devices and video games while crossing the street.

“Government has an obligation to protect its citizenry,” Kruger said in a telephone interview from Albany, the state capital. “This electronic gadgetry is reaching the point where it’s becoming not only endemic but it’s creating an atmosphere where we have a major public safety crisis at hand.”

Tech-consuming New Yorkers trudge to work on sidewalks and subways like an army of drones, appearing to talk to themselves on wireless devices or swaying to seemingly silent tunes.

“I’m not trying to intrude on that,” Kruger said. “But what’s happening is when they’re tuning into their iPod or Blackberry or cell phone or video game, they’re walking into speeding buses and moving automobiles. It’s becoming a nationwide problem.”
