KIT digital, (KITD) just raised $31 mil. with the stated intent to acquire another property.
This might be a complimentary pick up and they will have plenty of that $31m left over.

Swarmcast Lays Off Half Of Company, Changes Focus To Target CE Devices
Last week, rumors started circulating that Swarmcast was going out of business and had laid off all of their employees. While the company is not out of business yet, they did make some major layoffs and have changed their focus. I had a call with Christian Wilhelm over the weekend who is the c...
"There isn't any, unless of course you are the movie studios and are greedy, making more money off something that costs you less to distribute."
Ummm, you buy a PPV movie for $4.99 from DirecTV, you watch it once, maybe twice if you like then it goes away.
You watch a movie in a theater once for $10., you don't own it, you watch and enjoy it.
How is the studio greedy? Sounds like a nice business model to me.

Sunday on 60 Minutes, members of the film industry and the MPAA were interviewed for a story about movie piracy. As usual, they were complaining about how much money they are losing, saying they can't do anything about it and how piracy prevents them from taking chances on making more good movie...

So it's not Cal or UCLA but it is in the system. For the students that are fortunate enough to attend this nice little universtity it all counts as a UC education.
Frankly I believe your view of UC Merced comes off as elitist, maybe I am overly sensitive here.
My son will attend the school this year. I am a third generation Californian, he was born in Arizona.

College of the Future: UC Merced
Last week I visited the latest of the University of California campuses, UC Merced, founded in 2005. It's in a cow field, or what might have been a cow field, staked out by four earth-welcoming buildings, all certified LEED, with levers like Venetian blinds fringing the windows to bring in or sh...
KIT Digital is hiring personnel in NY. Of course this blog has an embargo on ANY news pertinent to KIT digital so it is understandable it's not mentioned.
Also they filed paperwork to trade on the NASDAQ.
Also missed by this blog was a massive deal they annoumced with Blinkx.
Just saying.......

Mr.T.
Mr T as B.A. (Bosco Albert) Baracus in the A-Team did it by just being himself.
Norris is just too damn cool and that always looked practiced.
"T" has battled cancer for more than 10 years but still goes about his career full speed, never asking for pity or consideration.
Mr T is the real deal, true American original. Not taking anything away from Chuck Norris, he's the embodiment of great American.
My two cents anyway.

Mr. T vs. Chuck Norris: Who Is Your Money On?
