Social Media Release:Asia’s Most Groundbreaking Online Reality Programme – SUPERMODELME.tv

Asia’s Most Groundbreaking Online Reality Programme – SUPERMODELME.tv

Presented by Refinery Media and Jointly Supported by A*STAR

Refinery Media, a multimedia production agency, launches Asia’s most groundbreaking English online reality show SUPERMODELME.tv – where 10 models from across the Asian continent including Singapore, Malaysia, Korea, Thailand, the Philippines and India will compete to be Asia’s next hottest face on runways and magazines.

SUPERMODELME.tv will stretch over 20 episodes and be broadcast online twice a week. The online reality series will showcase the ups and downs that aspiring models encounter in their professional careers – from dealing with the thrilling and glamorous but unforgiving demands of the fashion industry, to the bonding sessions or brash disputes with the other models. Viewers will be kept thoroughly entertained as one model is eliminated each week until the winning model is chosen out of the Final Three.

Helming SUPERMODELME.tv is founder of Refinery Media, Karen Seah. A successful, established entrepreneur in the lifestyle and entertainment scene with several notable nightclub and restaurant outlets under her belt, Seah has shown impressive insight into youth marketing. Tapping on the popularity and accessibility of Internet entertainment, Seah has conceptualized this revolutionary online reality TV series as a bridge between new media platforms, online youth culture and the local fashion landscape.

The revolutionary technology behind SUPERMODELME.tv, is one in which Refinery Media will be introducing to Singapore as well as the rest of the world.

Called Hyperspot technology, instant gratification can be delivered right to our fingertips; with one click of the mouse, viewers can have immediate access to the brands, prices and stockist locations of the outfits the models are wearing. Another click and viewers can learn who styled the models’ hair, what makeup they are wearing, and even get exclusive beauty and styling tips from well-known industry stylemeisters.

In addition, Refinery Media’s collaboration with Exploit Technologies Pte Ltd (A member of A*STAR) is to develop SubStream – a web-based subtitling technology that will allow viewers to easily switch from English to Mandarin subtitles while they watch the program. This bold innovation allows original content to be aired across different countries, from east to west and vice versa, thereby opening doors for smaller production companies to have their content seen by others all across the world.

SUPERMODELME.tv will debut online on 16^th June 2009, Tuesday.

Details of Asia’s first interactive English online reality series SUPERMODELME.tv are as listed:

Is the MacBook Air Really the technological marvel – or just airport security staff menace – itsReal

This MacBook Air blog post is entertaining so i have repeated it here – Is the MacBook Air Really the technological marvel – or  just airport security staff menace

Steve Jobs Made Him Miss His Flight

On waking, I reach for my blackberry. It tells me what city I’m in; the hotel rooms offer no clues. Every Courtyard by Marriott is interchangeable.  Many doors into the same house. From the size of my suitcase, I can recall the length of my stay: one or two days, the small bag.  Three or four, the large. Two bags means more than a week.

CNBC, shower, coffee, email. Quick breakfast, $10.95 (except in California, where it’s $12.95. Another clue.)

Getting there is the worst part. Flying is an endless accumulation of indignities. Airlines learned their human factors from hospitals. I’ve adapted my routine to minimize hassles.

Park in the same level of the same ramp. Check in at the less-used kiosks in the transit level. Check my bag so I don’t have to fuck around with the overhead bins. I’d rather dawdle at the carousel than drag the thing around the terminal anyway.

Always the frequent flyer line at the security checkpoint. Sometimes there’s an airline person at the entrance of that line to check my boarding pass, sometimes not. An irritation. I’d rather it was always, or never. Sometimes means I don’t know if I need my boarding pass out or not.

Same words to the TSA agent.  Standard responses. “Doing fine,” whether I am or not.  Same belt.  It’s gone through the metal detector every time. I don’t need to take it off.

Only… today, something is different. Instead of my bags trundling through the x-ray machine, she stops the belt.  Calls over another agent, a palaver. Another agent flocks to the screen. A gabble, a conference, some consternation.

They pull my laptop, my new laptop making its first trip with me, out of the flow of bags. One takes me aside to a partitioned cubicle. Another of the endless supply of TSA agents takes the rest of my bags to a different cubicle. No yellow brick road here, just a pair of yellow painted feet on the floor, and my flight is boarding. I am made to understand that I should stand and wait.  My laptop is on the table in front of me, just beyond reach, like I am waiting to collect my personal effects after being paroled.

I’m standing, watching my laptop on the table, listening to security clucking just behind me. “There’s no drive,” one says. “And no ports on the back. It has a couple of lines where the drive should be,” she continues.

A younger agent, joins the crew. I must now be occupying ten, perhaps twenty, percent of the security force. At this checkpoint anyway. There are three score more at the other five checkpoints. The new arrival looks at the printouts from x-ray, looks at my laptop sitting small and alone. He tells the others that it is a real laptop, not a “device”. That it has a solid-state drive instead of a hard disc. They don’t know what he means. He tries again, “Instead of a spinning disc, it keeps everything in flash memory.” Still no good. “Like the memory card in a digital camera.” He points to the x-ray, “Here. That’s what it uses instead of a hard drive.”

The senior agent hasn’t been trained for technological change. New products on the market? They haven’t been TSA approved. Probably shouldn’t be permitted. He requires me to open the “device” and run a program. I do, and despite his inclination, the lead agent decides to release me and my troublesome laptop.  My flight is long gone now, so I head for the service center to get rebooked.

Behind me, I hear the younger agent, perhaps not realizing that even the TSA must obey TSA rules, repeating himself.
