...give shape to that new paradigm is MobiTV's adoption of the WiMAX standard, a.k.a. "wi-fi on crack." It combines unicast (a stream to a single user at a time, like the Internet) and broadcast, increasing capacity to allow higher data rates, two-way communication and so on. "We're just beginning to scratch the surface," he says. Maybe he'll eventually get it to download chocolate bars...
Encryption wasn't the biggest problem in creating Joost. The primary puzzle was piecing together a network powerful enough to stream near DVD-quality, full-screen video to millions of computers simultaneously. The trick, it turned out, was to employ distributed computer power, using viewers' own PCs to speed video along. Having developed similar person-to-person networks for Kazaa and Skype--to transmit music files and phone calls through the Net--Joost's engineers finally nailed the solution last summer. Shouts of joy went up when they streamed their first video. It depicted, appropriately enough, sharks circling prey...
Keeping the lines voguish has ensured a stream of recent hits for Target, perhaps even a few bull's-eyes.

...recent night at the New Stage, a stream of patrons filed in for the premiere of The Ballets of George Balanchine - the legendary classical choreographer whom Ratmansky cites as a prime inspiration. While tourists posed for photos in the lobby, balletomanes lined up to purchase Bolshoi magnets and T shirts, and ushers hawked commemorative calendars, Ratmansky slipped unnoticed into a back booth. Ignoring the commotion and scribbling notes, he kept his eye trained solely on his ballerinas, who wore the Bolshoi's traditional monochrome leotards and leaped and jetéed to Balanchine's original choreography. The performance was exquisite...
