Source for AT&T Security, Interview, Archival, and other videos http://j.mp/kUw4gk (This message on Google Buzz) - - - My posting yesterday of an old Western Electric (AT&T) promo film "fragment" ( http://j.mp/lnyc6X [Google Buzz] ) triggered a number of people asking if I knew of a source for full-length AT&T-related productions in standard distribution. As it happens, I do. AT&T has apparently been pretty busy posting both new and old videos over on the AT&T Tech Channel, at: http://j.mp/iPYtdn (AT&T Tech Channel) Around 600 videos are currently available, covering an enormous range. AT&T's long-form "cyber threat reports" are online, as are other videos related to security, privacy, etc. Tech Icons has interviews including people many of us have known for years. E.g.: Steve Bellovin: http://j.mp/iQ3Gax Bill Cheswick: http://j.mp/memgNO and lots more of the giant names in tech. The Archives section is really outstanding, with classic Bell System films going back to the dawn of telephony and forward, covering technical areas, educational films, recruiting, and numerous other categories. Admittedly, there is something a bit surrealistic about watching scenes from "Time Tunnel" and "Lost in Space" in a 1968 Bell System film on computers, or sitting here viewing (via Google TV) a 1974 AT&T recruiting film for directory assistance operators. Old tech meets new tech, indeed. AT&T is to be congratulated for making these materials available. However, I'm still strongly opposed to their proposed assimilation of T-Mobile. Sorry about that, Mother Bell. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Google Buzz: http://j.mp/laurenbuzz Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com
