  • Boxee + Clicker = so close, yet so far

    Boxee + Clicker = so close, yet so far

    Posted on December 3, 2009 | No Comments
    I don't watch a lot of television programming, and I'm not particularly patient with the way "Big Media" treats me, the consumer. I really wanted to like Flash Forward, but it's pretty clear that the show is more interested in hitting that 100 episodes mark to earn syndication than it is in delivering an interesting, gripping story. So I gave up on that, and on a lark decided to try Fringe, to kill some time. Unfortunately, Hulu doesn't have the beginning of the series, let alone the beginning of the current season. I'm not excited about jumping into the show midstream. I'm also not interested in navigating the various network websites to find their hosted copies of the shows I might watch. Isn't that what Hulu was supposed to do for me? Enter Clicker.com. "Clicker aims to become the complete programming guide to Internet television." Indeed, they have an impressive catalog of more than 400,000 television episodes from 7,000 different shows, not to mention movies and original web content. They've been around for awhile, but today they're unveiling their new Boxee app, allowing you to access their impressive catalog of content from within Boxee.

    Secret folder automatically adds content to iTunes

    Well this is a fine kettle of fish: Apple has added a secret folder to our file systems that essentially sucks any content inside into iTunes. The watched folders are:
    ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Automatically Add to iTunes/ in OS X C:\Users\Your Username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes\ in Windows
    If you drop an MP3 into there they get sucked into iTunes and disappear immediately, like a magic box. This would allow you to record your own music, for example, and add it to iTunes when you mix down and/or drag all your recently downloaded tunes straight into iTunes

    Mozilla says people refusing to upgrade to Firefox 3.0 in order to hide their, well, sensitive bookmarks

    Posted on August 27, 2009 | No Comments
    Mozilla released Firefox 3.0 in June of 2008, but there's still a few of you out there who haven't upgraded, despite, if nothing else, the security improvements. So what gives? Mozilla asked the abstainers, essentially, “Why haven't you upgraded?” The answer, of course, has to do with Internet pornography. Doesn't it always?
