Asysco Audio Visual Solutions Cut International Business Travel Costs
PR Web (press release), WA 
Before it relocated to its newly-refurbished French headquarters in Paris, the company instructed Asysco to deliver bespoke AV systems for its offices, meeting, conference and presentation rooms in a landmark building in the capital's La Défense commercial district. The world's leading oil and gas organisation now has wide-ranging, fully-interactive multimedia presentation facilities throughout its prestigious French offices, including an extensive Emergency Response Centre from where Exxon Mobil relays real-time broadcast data to the media during news-critical events. So, with global communication networks taking their positions closer to the forefront of industry's quest to bring international partners closer whilst simultaneously addressing the cost and environmental impact of business travel, how is Asysco, a home-grown AV integration specialist, managing to bridge the continental gaps that others can't?Mark Hazell, Asysco's Divisional Director of Audio Visual Systems, has the answers. "There has never been more pressure for organisations to do business more effectively," he reveals. "From the way departments talk to one another internally to the need for corporate bodies and their international partners to present their products and services professionally, innovations in audio visual technology are offering a highly-competitive edge. ""But the value of that edge is all down to integration and expertise," continues Mark. "Asysco have worked with the AV industry's leading manufacturers to produce dynamic solutions for businesses that enhance working environments, introduce a better and far higher standard of presentation environment and develop more robust trade relationships.

Thoughts On The T-Mobile G1
Information Week Weblog, NY 
Google’s never been known for its visual panache, and I’m looking forward to some skilled designers taking a crack at reskinning it. The UI is more intuitive than Windows Mobile, but that’s not saying much. It’s not nearly as pretty as the iPhone either, and I do prefer the more “grown up” UI of the BlackBerry Bold, but the G1 has a very usable and satisfying UI. But there are some negatives, and the biggest one is that you’re completely tied into the Google cloud. There’s no Exchange integration — although that’s expected in the near future — and you’re forced to rely on the dreadful Google Contacts. If you’re looking for a work and personal phone, I doubt your IT department would let this on even if it did have Exchange integration. There’s inconsistency throughout the OS as well.

Virginia Center for Computer Music Celebrates 20 Years with …
University of Virginia, VA 
“The spirit of the tour is to look at the broader issues of creativity and the excitement of the new — the excitement of exploring,” Burtner said. Since 1994, TechnoSonics festivals have brought cutting-edge performers and composers to Charlottesville to perform with VCCM talent. This year, the offerings are all home-grown compositions, Shatin said. Her composition for the concert, “Penelope’s Song,” is scored for amplified soprano sax and electronic sounds that are made from the recording and processing of the sounds of a weaver working on her wooden looms. For his composition “Sxueak,” Burtner creates sounds with his metasaxophone, which extends the acoustic saxophone’s sound output by retrofitting it with an onboard computer microprocessor that allows for computer interaction. Coffey’s “Ecce Vox: Noise,” a meditation on the meaning of noise for computer music video, has been featured on the tour.

Dialing IN To Dial UP Your Hispanic Engagement

They are all examples of "In-Call Media. " And they're all examples of how brands are reaching and engaging millions of Hispanics as they place hundreds of millions of phone calls using prepaid calling cards. Over the past several years, In-Call Media has grown in size, and now represents a goldmine of opportunity. I thought I'd share a few highlights. Pre-Paid Calling Cards – An Untapped Market Rather than merely offering low-cost international calling, hundreds of pre-paid calling cards are using In-Call Media to offer callers access to new ad-sponsored features such as: news from home, sports scores, horoscopes, offers from local merchants and more. The audio advertising is interactive, allowing interested callers to further engage with your brand to learn more. As they make a phone call, callers hear a 10-second message highlighting news, information or a targeted offer.
