Music: Zero 7 feat. José González – Futures
Director: Robert SeidelThis low-budget video was done within just 2½ weeks for the planned DVD of Zero 7’s “The Gardenâ€. The video visualizes crushed objects representing a diffuse future of wishes and desires which shape over time. Visible artefacts and the rough synchronisation add subtle emotions to the uncertain process… Side note: Another video for the song was commissioned and got directed by Duckeye, as this one was too uncommercial…

The Story of Shooting War
New York, NY The year is 2011, and Jimmy Burns, a young anti-corporate blogger has just seen his Williamsburg apartment blown to bits by yet another terrorist attack on New York City. He’s recorded the gruesome scene on his videoblog camera footage Burns beams live to a freaked-out world and that makes him an overnight media sensation. Exploited by his own network (Global News: “Your home for 24-hour terror coverageâ€), enraged by the terrorists, and determined to tell the American people the truth, Burns takes off for Iraq to get the real story of a war that’s been raging for more than eight years. SHOOTING WAR is written by Anthony Lapp, illustrated by Dan Goldman.

BusinessWeek has an interesting discussion of click fraud:
The spreading scourge known as click fraud poses the single biggest threat to the Internet’s advertising gold mine. A raft of scams and deceptions inflate advertising bills for thousands of companies of all sizes, and is the most nettlesome question facing Google and Yahoo, whose digital empires depend on all that gold. Executive Editor John Byrne in a conversation with Business Week columnists Ben Elgin and Brian Grow.
