Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson is bringing cartoon icon Tintin to life in a movie, calling the shots via iChat.
Jackson was unable to trade his native New Zealand for the California set where flesh and blood actors are filming Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn.
So he told them what to do via iChat.
“Steven [...]

Meetings at daily news organizations are generally pretty lively affairs. Now journalists at outlying bureaus or on assignment at UK daily The Guardian can participate in the daily pitching and griping — without having the odd pen thrown at them or having to deal with the face-melting scowls of colleagues.
Journalism.co.uk reports:
“When the Guardian moved to Kings Place in December 2008, the paper’s 10am morning conference was made available to any employee via IPTV on their desktop or on television screens around the building.
Employees from other offices, such as Manchester or Washington, could watch the meetings remotely and participate.
The team experimented with iChat from the the House of Commons press room during the first week of the move: reporters were able to communicate via video cameras on their Macs with the team at Kings Place.”
As papers fight credibility problems and face closure because of waning interest, using technology to create a “transparent newsroom,” where more people, including the public, can watch daily newsroom meetings, becomes more important.

Funnyman Jim Carrey keeps his love alive with wife, former playmate and comedian Jenny McCarthy, by dancing for her on iChat.
McCarthy tells OK magazine (with much enthusiasm!) that she and her Yes Man text and use iChat to keep in touch while he’s on the set.
Jenny says she and Jim also use a web cam from time to time.
“I haven’t done any dancing, but I make him do that!” she says. “It’s nice! With the iChat, we’re always afraid that there’s a third party watching! We’re a little bit careful, but it’s a great way to have that face connection!”
She also confesses that between the two of them there’s not much ha ha-ing around the house. Somehow I find that hard to believe, especially if he’s shaking his groove thing for her regularly.

Comedian Amy Sedaris narrates a three-part PBS series called “Make ‘em Laugh” that debuts Jan. 14.
Her companion web video about online comedy provides more than a few chuckles and a nice Apple reference:
“I got a computer maybe four years ago because I have a rabbit and the rabbit got sick. It was too late to call the House Rabbit Society, so I thought I better get a computer because the next time she gets sick, I’ll be able to go on Ether Bunny and find out what’s going on.”
“Then I got iChat because I can just hold my rabbit up, call the House Rabbit Society and say, “Do you see this scab? What does it mean?” And then they can see it. See, I’m getting there.”
You can catch her 30-minute video on “Teh Internets” (sic) online, but put your headphones on — it rightly warns, “The following video contains mature content. Or immature content, depending on how you look at it. But it is not for kids.”

Singer Katy Perry made her fame with pop try-bianism, but her heart is in a long-distance love with a boy. Perry is a Mac user who credits iChat with keeping up the relationship:
“Her current love is Travis McCoy, singer for the indie hip-hop band Gym Class Heroes, whom she met two years ago when they were recording in the same studio complex in New York, although he remained on the East Coast while she went back to L.A.
This summer they were together for 10 weeks during traveling music festival the Warped Tour,but “I [last] saw him three, four weeks ago,” says Katy wistfully. “It’s definitely difficult. I was really lonely for a couple of weeks, but that’s the name of the game. To me, iChat is the most beautiful technology invented, ever!”
Wonder if she iChatted a girl, just to try it, it would be as beautiful?
