Testing Chromium

September 3, 10 //

Comments Off

Google Tech Talk July 28, 2010 ABSTRACT Presented by James Hawkins. The Chromium project has 200+ committers and over 100 commits a day. That pace of development requires extensive testing in order to achieve acceptable stability. In this talk, I'll go over the best practices for testing in Chromium.

Channels & Conflict: Response to Digital Media Distribution, Impact on Sales and Internet Piracy

Google Tech Talk August 17, 2010 ABSTRACT "Channels & Conflict: Consumer Response to Digital Media Distribution, and its Impact on Physical Sales and Internet Piracy" Presented by Michael D. Smith, with introduction by Hal Varian. The availability of digital channels for media distribution has raised several important questions for marketers, notably whether digital distribution channels will cannibalize physical sales and whether legitimate digital distribution channels will dissuade consumers from using (illegitimate) digital piracy channels. We examine these two questions using a series of "natural experiments" involving changes in the distribution of media on digital channels. Our results suggest that (1) online "free" distribution can complement legitimate purchases of media goods, (2) legitimate digital distribution channels can reduce the demand for piracy, and (3) that digital distribution is unlikely to cannibalize sales in physical channels in the short-term. Michael D. Smith is an Associate Professor of Information Systems and Marketing and co-director of the Center for Digital Media Research at Carnegie Mellon University. Dr. Smith's research relates to analyzing structure and competition in online markets and substitution effects between legitimate digital distribution channels, piracy channels, and physical channels for media products. His research in this area has been published by outlets including The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, Sloan Management <b>…</b>

A Brief Prehistory of Voice over IP parts 1 & 2

Google Tech Talk August 10 & 11, 2010 ABSTRACT Presented by Danny Cohen and Stephen Casner. This talk explores the development of interactive packet voice beginning in 1974 with experiments over the ARPAnet in the NSC (Network Speech/Secure Communication) program sponsored by ARPA, initiated by Bob Kahn. One highlight will be the showing of a movie made in 1978 to demonstrate a multi-party teleconference over the packet network, including one participant interfaced from a telephone. The talk will be presented in two sessions (two days), with the movie shown at the start of the second session. Part one covers concepts and lessons from this project: * A 1971 realtime distributed flight simulation that sparked the idea * Understanding real-time vs non-real-time communication * Digital speech and the need to compress it (PCM, DPCM, CVSD, LPC/LPC10) * Network Voice Protocol (NVP) over the ARPAnet, type0/type3 packets * The birth of the Internet with TCP * Separating IP from TCP and adding UDP * Building NVP-II on top of IP * Adding packet video (DCT based compression) Part two emphasizes the development of the voice protocols: * Introducing and showing the teleconferencing movie from 1978 * Advances in equipment and function at the end of NSC in 1982 * Progress stalled, waiting to low-cost vocoding * Development of IP Multicast and the MBone * Evolution from NVP to RTP, and RTP design philosophy * Conferencing control protocols * More recent history of VoIP Speaker Info: Danny <b>…</b>

Agile Technology with Lives at Stake: InSTEDD in Haiti & Beyond

Google Tech Talk June 30, 2010 ABSTRACT Presented by Eduardo Jezierski and Eric Rasmussen. InSTEDD, a Google.org Grantee, deployed to the Port au Prince airfield with a team from AlertNet just hours after the Haitian earthquake. Over the following days, a first-of-its-kind system was created that integrated technologies from more than a dozen partners. The system allowed Haitians to use their cell phones to both summon life-saving help and to receive critical information about relief efforts. From new portable satellite data antennas to plain RSS feeds, all sorts of technologies came into play to help the humans have a more effective response during Search and Rescue missions. Come and see the technologies that were used, how they were created from requirements in disaster response and public health, and how they incorporate innovations from field teams during and between disasters. We'll discuss what we needed to build and why, where it is now, where it's going, and what we need from you.
