US Unemployment Numbers - Why The Analyzing Will Be Even Tougher in 2013
The unemployment numbers seem to be rather questionable. It's not that there are not some new jobs becoming available, it's that there are so many jobs still being cut, and so many people still unemployed. Many of the folks have run out of their maximum number of weeks allowed for benefits, so they are no longer filing for unemployment. It is known that when you're benefits run out, that 30% of the people will find a job within the next month or two. Apparently they put in an all-out effort to actually go out and get a job. Okay so let's talk about all the factors here with the recent unemployment numbers in December of 2012.

Sony Duo 11 Ultrabook review: Blurring the line between tablet and laptop
Unpacking the Sony Duo 11 (aka the SVD1123CXB) reveals what appears to be a tablet; no keyboard is immediately visible. Yet when you pick it up, it seems a little hefty for a tablet. What's going on here? Well, the Duo 11 is not just a tablet. Lifting up the top edge tilts the display and reveals a sliding keyboard hidden beneath the panel.
Welcome to the world of Windows 8 sliders. The Duo 11 keeps its keyboard tucked underneath the tablet's bottom chassis?it's there when you need it, but you can hide it away when you don't.
SonyThe Duo 11 weighs in at 2 pounds, 13 ounces, decidedly on the light side for an Ultrabook. The 11.6-inch screen offers a full 1920-by-1080-pixel IPS touchscreen panel that provides good image quality and color fidelity. Sony also built a full Wacom digitizer into the touchscreen, complete with a stylus supporting 256 levels of pressure sensitivity. Artists will appreciate the digitizer, but Sony didn't think to include a slot to store the stylus in the body of the unit, so you'll need to keep track of it as you travel.
The Duo 11 meets Intel's Ultrabook spec: It's light, it boots quickly from the 128GB solid-state drive, and it measures just 0.71 inch thick. The machine carries an Intel Core i5-3317U processor, and our review unit had 8GB of system RAM (the standard amount of included memory is 6GB). Since it's an Ultrabook, its graphics hardware consists of the on-board Intel HD 4000 GPU built into the Ivy Bridge low-voltage processor.

Top 5 best movies of 2012: From Skyfall to Life of Pi

Forrest Griffin has no intention to lose to a man in pink tights
Forrest Griffin talked to UFC.com about his UFC 155 bout with Phil Davis. The original "The Ultimate Fighter" winner is 2-1 in his last three fights, and has no intentions of dropping a bout to someone who wear pink shorts, like Davis has since UFC 112.
"I really don't want to beat up by a guy in pink tights," Griffin said. He also talked about Davis' nickname of Mr. Wonderful.
"I don't know the origin story behind it. Maybe there's a comic book that explains that it's really powerful. Maybe there's a nuclear material that turned his shorts pink. I don't know that."
Davis wears pink shorts in honor of breast cancer survivors. Several women close to him have battled the disease, and he spoke about how the shorts have prompted people affected by breast cancer to share their stories.
"As soon as people recognize me as the guy with the pink shorts in support of breast cancer awareness, they feel compelled to share their story," he said.
"Sometimes it's about their mom or sister who beat breast cancer, but that's not always the case. Sometimes, it's not a happy ending. But the whole point is to raise awareness and have people open up and tell you little pieces of their lives ? it's all about showing support."

Why First Lady Michelle Obama shouldn?t have watched season three of Downton Abbey before it aired in the U.S.
Earlier this fall, we wrote about a huge problem facing the industry that social TV is bringing to light. In “Have you already watched Downton Abby Season three?“, we discussed how delaying launches of seasons is too hard on fans who can too easily see spoilers on every major social platform (Downton season three already aired in the U.K. but won’t premiere in the U.S. until next month). In November, The Sun revealed that First Lady Michelle Obama asked ITV for the new season and got it. Even Stephen Colbert poked fun at this the other week when the cast was in town promoting the show. Why isn’t the TV industry upset at the First Lady’s impatience? Why is she allowed to watch but not the rest of country? Here’s why the First Lady did the wrong thing by requesting the third season early. continued…

Unruly Preps New Tools for Branded Video Analysis
MONACO - Social video platform Unruly Media is launching new tools in the new few weeks to better track and measure the emotional responses to viral videos. The goal is to help agencies and marketers attach a framework and metrics to social video so it's not just a once-a-year proposition, says Scott Button, founder and CEO of the company, in an interview with Beet.TV at the Monaco Media Forum. "We're looking at emotional responses to video around 18 different emotional states, and we can do panel testing at enough scale in the pre-testing phase before a campaign goes live so we can give good feedback to clients as to how effective the content might be," Button tells us. This analytical insight into what makes content shareable has been one of the missing links in the field, and brands have been asking for more science and rigor in understanding the performance of social video, he adds. Over the last 12 to 18 months, Unruly has been studying the specific emotional triggers in social video ads and how they correlate to views and other metrics of success. However, the next step in social video data and insight will come in understanding how the creative and content leads not just to views but to sales, he explains. "We will see a move away from view count as the hallmark of success to how the word of mouth sparked by a campaign is impacting sales," Button says in this video interview. "One of the big challenges for brands right now is to try to understand how to make viral video more predictable and repeatable. There is little value to brands if they can only get it right once a year," he says.Unruly was founded in 2006 and delivers and tracks social videos across the Web. Since launch it has delivered 1.65 billion video views for more than 2,000 social video campaigns for more than 400 brands, including Evian, T-Mobile, and Old Spice. The company has also been conducting regular research into social video. For instance, the just-launched creative optimization tool tests which version of a video performs best against target audiences, allowing clients to optimize against shareability, word of mouth, duration, dwell time and other metrics. Unruly also relies on its "Social Video Lab," to test physical and emotional reactions to social videos using biometrics and other metrics.Earlier this year, the company worked with a researcher to study the rise in brand recall and purchase intent when a branded video had been recommended to a viewer or shared, and Unruly has also delved into specific industries such as automotive to analyze what makes certain automotive branded videos a hit. -Daisy Whitney

AOL to Launch Brand Video Engine "Goviral" in the U.S. in January
MONACO - AOL's Goviral, the London-based, global company for the distribution of brand videos, will launch in the United States in January, says Rene Rechtman, CEO and founder, in this interview with Beet.TV Goviral, acquired by AOL last year for $97 million, says it works with 40 top global brands and some 40,000 publishers in 80 markets. Goviral works with brands in getting video views on both publisher sites and on social networks. It does not use pre-roll or in-stream advertising. In this inteview, Rechtman explains how consumption of media is moving away from the "disruptive" media of pre-rolls and banner ads. We interviewed him at the Monaco Media Forum earlier this month. In an earlier interview with Beet.TV, AOL's Chief Revenue Officer Ned Brody discusses this emerging monetization scenario which he calls "native" advertising. Andy Plesser
