September 16, 2011 | Paul Bourdeaux: Sanford Health Announces New Hospital With AR Campaign
Whether we’re talking about their new facilities or their marketing campaigns, Sanford Health is on the cutting of edge of innovation. When Sanford announced plans to construct a new 371-bed hospital and clinic in southwest Fargo earlier this month, they did it with an Augmented Reality campaign that lets you view the new building from all sides.
February 09, 2011 | Lon Keller: WebM vs H.264
I’ve been trying to follow the logic behind Google’s recent decision to drop native support in their Chrome browser for the widely popular H.264 video format, favoring instead a relatively new container called WebM which uses Google’s VP8 codec. What I have been able to conclude is that the real loser in this deal is (big surprise) us. Those of us who actually enjoy using the Chrome browser will someday need to install a plugin to watch h.264 videos. In fact, Microsoft, a proponent of HTML5, has recently released a H.264 plugin for Chrome. Anyone with an Apple i-Device will totally be out of luck as there is no WebM support. Content producers will need to encode yet another video format and pay more for online storage AND invest in new software that can encode the VP8/WebM format. Web development costs will also increase to accommodate yet another format.
January 31, 2011 | Nick Green: Death to “Rich Media”
Saying “Rich Media” in 2011 is like saying a DVD menu was “Interactive” in 2006. All it meant was that it was gonna cost a bit more to produce. Online advertising technologies have grown more complex and similarly so should our vocabulary.

July 29, 2010 | Nick Green: Conquer Adaptive HTTP Streaming with OSMF
Steve Jobs’ decision to stiff arm Flash has given us in the online video delivery world a bit without an answer. But the OSMF Framework has left us with an answer that will work inside and outside the iProduct realm.
July 23, 2010 | Nick Green: Reinhart’s “Flash-first” video delivery
Since Steve left those of us desiring online video delivery, a little miffed. The question has remained, “How do we deliver video across the web and the newly divided mobile landscape?”
April 29, 2010 | Lon Keller: Steve’s Thoughts on Flash
In a recent post, I said I do not need Adobe’s Flash technology to enjoy my iPad. Obviously Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, agrees. Reporters who have continually asked Steve if Flash would be allowed on Apple’s mobile devices, usually receive a simple, “no.” Well, Steve has now given us a little more than a one-syllable response, in this post on Apple’s website.

I am not normally prone to purchasing the first generation of any product, but for the past two weeks, I have been a happy iPad owner. I’m sure most of you have already seen or read numerous iPad reviews, so I won’t dive into all of features the iPad offers. Instead I’ll simply share a few initial experiences and thoughts on what this device is and can become.

March 08, 2010 | Nick Green: Dynamic Streaming Video, VBR, & stair-stepping syndrome
Dynamic streaming is now more affordable than ever before with Amazon CloudFront’s support of Adobe’s Flash Media Server. There are may advantages of streaming, like being able to dynamically check the user’s connection speed and serve the best quality they can handle. But there are also additional considerations to take into account. Dynamic streaming isn’t as forgiving as progressive download.
October 28, 2009 | Nick Green: Open Screen Project proves Flash immortal… kind of
With RIM(Blackberry) and Google’s entry into already strong Open Screen Project, Adobe has managed to gain enough support not only to make Flash the predominant platform for rich media on web, mobile, and even television, but also guarantee that Flash will be around for a long, long time.
