FROM BBC.CO.UK

The net search giant Google has launched a search service that lets people look for TV programmes.
The service, Google Video beta, searches closed caption information that comes with programmes. It only searches US channel content currently.

Results list programmes with still images and text from the point where the search phrase was spoken.

It should expand over time to include content from more channels, said a Google spokesperson.

The first version of the service is part of Google's expanding efforts to be a ubiquitous search engine for people to find what they want on the web and beyond.

"We think TV is a big part of people's lives," said Jonathan Rosenberg, Google's vice president of product management.

"Ultimately, we would like to have all TV programming indexed."

I got hold of a studio developing a PS3 title called "Dreamers". No one has heard of this game and its going to be big!!!! I got word back from them and this is what it said...

Greetings Justin,
Thank you for your e-mail and interest in Dreamgazers Interactive and our
project "Dreamers". I would be delighted to answer a few questions for you,
however I may not be able to answer all the questions you will send me as -like you already assumed - we are very early in production and a lot of the information is still extremely confidential. However, I can tell you that we have not began our PS3 development just yet since we are still in the
prototyping stage for our project.

Thank you for your comments on our site, it hasn't been updated in awhile
though hehe ;P

I look forward to receiving your list of questions and I will try to send
them back to you as soon as possible.

Have a great day!

Sincerely,
George P. Georgeadis

Hey there,

I am a journalist for PS3land.com and I was wondering if you would be
intrested answering a few questions about any of your next gen
developments (Dreamers) or maybe answer a few questions on developing for the PS3, if you are currently working on PS3 that is. You do not have to
be specific since I understand that you may be under strict NDA rules
still, but any info regarding your next gen developments would be great.

PS3land is a website dedicated to reporting resourceful and non bias
information about the Sony PS3 and other next gen consoles. We receive
about 30,000 unique visitors a day. We recently launched our new layout
design of our website and should have everything completely up and running in the next couple of weeks.

So, any new information on the progress of Dreamers or other titles would
be great and if you would like, I could send some questions for possibly
an interview and you could answer them accordingly to your NDA rules.
Also, if you know when you can release info I can email you back around
that time and we can see what we can do.
If you could email me as soon as possible that would be great.

Thank you so much and we here at PS3Land can't wait to hear from you.

P.S. Your website kicks ass!

[Rebon]

GREAT work Justin! You have become the master of getting interviews. If you like, I'll help you revise the email you send slightly so that you get the most possible positive responses from people. There are a few things you can change and add to make people more willing to talk to you. I'll write something up tomorrow.

[luxurys]

Sounds good...I sent him an email back saying thanks and asking a few q's on what he is willing to release so it will help us in our question asking.

[luxurys]

ok Rebon...if you want to help in this interview here is more info from them:

Hi there again Justin,

I highly recommend you send me all the questions you were planning to since
there might be some things I could disclose anyways. If I cant' I won't
answer them. However to answer your current questions:

The story elements will be limited to whatever the website is currently
disclosing, except maybe one or two more things. No, we aren't exclusive to
anyone yet, we are hoping to have a multi console /PC release, however as I
mentioned in my previous e-mail, we are still in pre-production and
prototyping, so its very early to say. I won't be able to tell you anything
PS3 related development wise unfortunately. Yes, some screens and art you
will be provided with just provide me with the format and size you need them
at.

Thanks again and have a nice day.

[luxurys]

So rebon what do u want to do with this?

[luxurys]

Were you going to help Rebon? I want to send some q's out to him soon...

[Rebon]

Justin - I meant for future emails to publishers/developers. Not for this interview specifically Feel free to send your questions over.

[luxurys]

lol...ok

[luxurys]

Here is the interview q's I sent:

Hi George,

Here are the questions I came up with, sorry it took me so long...there
was confusion with my Chief Editor and I thought he was going to help in
coming up with some q's but I guess I am on my own, lol.

So, here they are:

1. How long has DREAMGAZERS INTERACTIVE been around?

2. About how many staffers work at Dreamgazers?

3. How long has "Dreamers" been in development?

4. Do you have a release/finish date planned for "Dreamers"?

5. Will "Dreamers" be the official title of the game?

6. What is the basic storyline of "Dreamers"?

7. What about next gen hardware will allow you to create the worlds of the
living and the worlds in which Jorge dreams?

8. When falling into these narcoleptic states, will we find ourselves
within nightmares?

9. Could you give us an example of one of the dream worlds?

10. I read that you are using the "reality engine", what made you decide
to go with that instead of something like the Unreal 3.0 Engine?

11. From looking at the concept art, you guys have a very unique art
style...What are some inspirations that led you to this game and its
design/mood?

13. What are some unique gameplay elements in/planned for "Dreamers"?

14. What ESRB rating are you aiming for? Basically, will the game have
language, violence/gore, ect?

12. If you bring the title to "next gen" consoles, would you guys plan on
using the disc capacity of the PS3 to its advantage?

13. So far, what are your thoughts on the PS3? thoughts on specs?

14. If you develop for the PS3, what features of the system would you plan
to use to your advantage? How would they benefit "Dreamers"?

15. Do you plan on being at the Tokyo Game Show or the Austin Game
Convention this year?

16. The contest "Are you a Dreamer", is it still going? Perhaps I could
provide a nightmare that has haunted me since I was about 9, lol.

17. Is there anything else you would like to add about the game that we
should know or anything about next gen development?


So, there are the questions I came up with...I have lots of q's for you
but I figured most of them you can't answer since you are still in
pre-production and have not started on PS3 development yet. Perhaps we can
do a follow up interview in the future when you guys are in full
production.

Also, if you have any test demos of the game using the game engine or
screenshots that would be great. Also, any concept art from your site or
new concept art not on the website yet would be great too!

Thank you so much again for doing all of this. I am really excited to find
out more on your game, and if you still have the contest going I will be
sure to send in my dream.

Justin, here are the answers to the questions. I need a few more days to
gather some material for you to use with the text (Screens, art etc). Please
don't make the interview live until I have provided everything and until I
could check it online (if that's possible?). Please let me know! Thank you
