В гостях у Владимира Познера президент ИМЭМО РАН, профессор, академик РАН Александр Дынкин. Он беседует с ведущим об итогах президентских выборов в США и о том, кто лучше для России — Трамп или Байден, о «гибридной войне» и о том, как коронавирус меняет мир.
9 января, 2007 год. В этот день мы уже вовсю работали — начинали примерно с 5ого. Youtube только появился, а мы выпускали журнал на дисках. FXA Studio находилась в маленьком офисе на первом этаже дома, где я жил. Никому тогда не были интересны презентации Apple, однако я ее смотрел в прямо эфире. Досмотрев, буквально в тапочках и с кружечкой чая спустился в офис — говорю, мол смотрите. Работа встала, ибо все охренели. Тогда на экранах зрители увидели презентацию, которая навсегда войдет в историю и учебники по маркетингу. За один час Стив Джобс раздавил всю индустрию производителей мобильных телефонов. Apple проехалась по всем больным местам устаревших трубок. Это казалось невероятным. Настоящее пришествие гаджета из будущего. Реальный сенсорный экран, а не тормозящее убожество со стилусом, как у КПК — о таком мы только мечтали, смотря кинофильмы. Нормальный интерфейс, близкий к компьютерному. Настоящий интернет в телефоне. Интеграция Google Maps. Все это казалось фантастикой. И было понятно, что это перевернет мир. Конечно, далеко не всем. Идиоты носились и с пеной у рта доказывали, что это очередное никому ненужное гуано, а к концу года Apple выпустит кнопочный телефон. Теперь они стыдливо помалкивают.
Несмотря на то, что мы были игровым журналом, я понимал, что нельзя проходить мимо такого события. Скачать презентацию Apple тогда было невозможно, тем более в хорошем качестве (тогда хорошее качество было 480p, HD только-только входило в обиход, и уж точно не в интернете), поэтому пришлось запрашивать ее у русского офиса, состоявшего тогда из двух человек. Но все получилось — спустя несколько дней мы получили паленую болванку с самым, как сегодня оказалось, легендарным выступлением Джобса, а мы принялись за создание ее русской версии. Сегодня, спустя 10 лет я заапгрейдил ее до HD-версии (720p, какая есть), и делюсь с вами, дабы вновь пережить этот исторический момент.

So many people never ask themselves what they want. Maybe its because they think they have everything already, or because theyre afraid its too late. But if we dont ask ourselves what we want, theres no way well ever know if our dreams are possible, or what it would take to achieve them. Until recently, that was my story. I was living an amazing, beautiful life, and I didnt feel I deserved to even contemplate anything more. This talk is about why I decided to finally ask myself that question, and what happened when I did. Although Rita Wilson is well-known as an actress and film producer, her most recent projects have all been connected to her passion for music. After achieving her dream in 2012 with the critically acclaimed album AM/FM — an intimate, elegant, and beautifully sung collection of classics from the ‘60s and ‘70s — Wilson has been focusing on a new component of her musical career as a songwriter. Recently, she has collaborated with a number of talented and successful songwriters, composing original material featured on her second album, self-titled Rita Wilson. Her new album Halfway to Home (March 2019) has a fuller sound: Southern California rock meets Nashville country, co-produced by Rita Wilson and Nathan Chapman with additional production from Ron Aniello and John Shanks. Many of the songs were co-written with an A-List group of songwriters, including Grammy winner Liz Rose, Kristian Bush of Sugarland, Mozella, Mitch Allan, and Kara DioGuardi.

Tom Thum: Armed with just a microphone, Thum pushes the limits of the human voice to create incredible soundtracks of impossible beats and phenomenal sounds, with scratched vinyl, the Michael Jackson back-catalogue, the didgeridoo and an entire fifties jazz band amongst his vocal repertoire.
You can follow Tom on FaceBook (TomThummer) and Twitter (@tomthummer)
Quoting from ABCs Triple J Unearthed website:
«TOM THUM, THE VERSATILE VOICEBOX Tom Thum appears to have swallowed an entire orchestra and several backing singers The Guardian (UK)
There are not enough superlatives to describe the wonder of this beatboxing virtuoso — I am still trying to figure out how he got those sounds out of his mouth The Daily Telegraph (UK)
The mic master seems to have an orchestra living in his throat: trumpet blasts, guitar strums and samples from classic songs including Michael Jacksons „Billie Jean“ effortlessly spout from his mouth Time Out, NY
These are apt quotes to describe the performance of one of Australias most prominent and respected beatboxers and serial pests. Only in his mid-twenties Tom Thum has achieved and experienced more than most artists could hope to achieve in a lifetime. From winning the team battles (alongside Joel Turner) in the World Beatbox Championships in 2005, to fulfilling every artists dream and performing on Broadway in New York with the Tom Tom Crew, Tom has seen his fair share of accolades and well and truly paid his dues. Raised by the small but accommodating Brisbane hip hop scene, Tom started out as a graffiti writer and a Bboy but slowly rose to recognition through his ability to produce unhuman sounds and his natural knack for performing and weaselling his way on stage…
Although the stage seems the ideal habitat for Tom he is also no stranger to community and has been helping the scene improve through conducting a plethora of workshops in many places that usually wouldnt have access to such knowledge and skill. Tom has travelled from the very top of Australia teaching in the Indigenous communities of Mornington and Thursday Islands all the way to the very bottom with a series of workshops in Tasmania and Adelaide.
He has also spent considerable time teaching on Palm Island and in Charleville and many other places that would otherwise be Starved for education about proper hip hop and the positive message that music preaches.
As Toms experience within the music industry expands, he plans to push the limits of the human voice as far as inhumanly possible. Enrolling the help of numerous loop stations, Tom has been conducting DJ sets using only his voice and nothing else, propelling crowds across the country into a frenzy of jaw-dropping disbelief, as he re-creates and remixes classic joints and jams from all eras and genres. At present Tom is working on an album ranging across many different generes and features and hopes to have it finished by early 2012. You might see him on a stage at a festival looping up a storm or supporting anyone from the Hilltop Hoods to Blue King Brown, or you might catch him annoying the hell out of commuters on public transport. Either way, you will notice him soon enough. Keep an ear out for Tom Thum.»
