@ryan baldwin Point taken. I think might have been a little too agressive with my rewind times. I’ve update the post appropriately. I’ve also emphasized the point that this really isn’t an issue for music because, as you say, you don’t really care where in the song you resume from.

I find I only ever need to rewind about 3 seconds – that’s usually enough time for my brain to process and go “oh yea! that’s what was happening”. I was watching dexter tonight and had to pause a couple time, and when I resumed I was totally thrown for a loop. “Wait, what are they talking aobut? what’s this conversation? she’s in mid sentence, what was she saying?” etc. This only ever happens for video though – never for audio…. but, I don’t pay attention to audio in the same way I pay attention to video – but this is mostly because I can’t hear lyrics, so I don’t care what the dude’s singing about.

@David Hamill As a parent and commuter, my media consumption is constantly interrupted. The problem is that rewinding ‘enough’ often takes one or two tries before I get it right – regardless of the player. This resume problem exists on my dvd player, on my ipod, boxee, etc.

This is interesting but sounds a little over-engineered. You’re trying to predict the user’s intention and this could be a potential annoyance when the user is not doing what you think they are. Above all you should give the user control.

Have you seen things that have led you to want to improve the pause button? If so, what was it?

I am not sure how I would feel about a third party program watching me surf. I think that marketing needs to start to take a backseat to some of the more pressing matters in the world. While I understand that advertisements are what keep television on the air, it is also causing a large number (and exponentially growing) of people to download/pirate television. The idea that it takes me an hour to watch 30 – 35 minutes worth of programming is just not that appealing.

I do not think that allowing companies to try to target advertise is going to be much of an advantage. I still gain most, if not all, of my interest in product based on word of mouth. And besides, I think that people have become somewhat immune to the advertisements. Hell, there are add ons for Firefox that target ads and replaces them with art.

All of this spewed, I think that the underlying technology that you are describing is very neat. I just cannot get behind the motive for which it is being developed.

Oh, and great site! Keep the ideas coming (mostly so I can shoot them down ).
