After a while, I discovered Twitter desktop
I bet that on Sunday afternoon, between 1:30 PM and 4:30 PM EST, Twitter will either be down for part of the time or third party applications like Tweetdeck and Seesmic Desktop will only update sporadically. Why am I making this bet, it is because the World Cup final will being occurring then . Ever since the World Cup started
Any of you that have watched my show know, that when I am in Hawaii that I use a Tricaster Studio. The Tricaster Studio has really allowed me to take the show in directions, that was not even feasible a few years ago. Newtek is introducing the Tricaster TCXD850 this coming week, which is a completely new animal with so
A recent report (which, much like every other report about Apple, means a completely unsupported rumor) regarding the much-talked-about new version Apple TV, claims that lower priced streaming TV shows are on the way to iTunes. According to sources, Apple is in negotiations with TV producers to allow it to rent shows for $0.99 as opposed to the $1.99 they
OTT, short for “over-the-top-television” is an up-and-coming acronym that we are all likely going to become familiar with in the near future, provided someone doesn’t come up with a different marketing name. The concept is simple – it’s TV that comes “over the top” of traditional channels on a cable system via the Internet delivered in digital packets. It can
That's a bit harder to answer. Well, if you're Jane or Joe Average, you'll have probably spent pretty much the same again on stuff to enhance your PC, from anti-virus software to graphics card upgrades. IDC have been looking at the "beyond-the-box" purchases and for every dollar spent on the PC, you spent $1.05 on extra bits'n'bobs in 2009. This is up
Quick week for many of you, thanks to everyone that called in to the hotline to leave comments. Wait till you see how Hollywood does their accounting no wonder they can claim they are loosing money. Did you notice the mini format change? First big change in over 500 shows not a really big deal but lets see your reactions!
I was listening to a podcast where the hosts were chatting back and forth about the newly offered Hulu Plus, where for $10 dollars a month, you can get Hulu on a wide variety of devices including smart phones and over-the-top Internet TV boxes. Hulu is also offering a somewhat wider, but still incomplete back catalog archive of shows. One

Recently when I was out at Ford Motor Company I was blown away that almost all Ford Advertisements that showed a vehicle stand-alone was CGI aka 100% pure digital. But what I have just seen tonight will simply blow you away. See this Image looks pretty real doesn't it. This is Digital Emily. Creating a CGI Image is cool but
A few years ago remember seeing all those “Joost” commercials pushing their Internet TV application? “Proper TV – Joost” the sophisticated-sounding British spokesman endlessly blurted out towards the end of the ad. Of course, the initial Joost experiment ended badly. The Joost application stopped working December 19, 2008. Literally millions of dollars went down the drain. I remember downloading and
