Every time you watch an English Premier League game online, um, something bad happens. Apparently.
Posted on August 11, 2009 | No CommentsIt's fair to say that the Internet is a complete waste of time. Aside from the odd virtual museum, or learning about the history of the Bantu peoples on Wikipedia, there's very little on there that's worth the time of day, I think. Twitter? Rubbish. Facebook? Old. Hulu? You couldn't pay me to watch network TV anymore.

Louis CK, the comedian who told you to stop complaining about technology, is close to another sitcom
Posted on August 10, 2009 | No CommentsIt was only a few months ago that comedian Louis CK became an Internet sensation. Comedy fans had followed his act for years, but it was his appearance on Late Night With Conan that lead to posts by Doug Aamoth and interviews with Vanity Fair. And now the comedian, who's a big Leica fan, by the way, looks to be getting another sitcom, this time on FX.

Posted on August 3, 2009 | 1 Comment
In the search for affordable 11.6-inch netbooks, you have a couple of enticing choices in the Acer Aspire One 751h and the Gateway LT3103. Both pretty much come from the same company, as Acer owns Gateway, and while the outward look and feel of each system is pretty similar, there are some notable internal differences.

CBS latest to join Comcast OnDemand Online lineup
Posted on July 14, 2009 | No Comments
Well, I don't think it's a streach anymore to say that Comcast's latest venture into online video is a off to a good start. CBS is the latest network to join the impressive lineup which also includes HBO and Cinemax as of yesterday. This netwoks is a big step for Comcast On Demand Online as CBS is the only major network not available on the free to everyone site, Hulu. But remember, Comcast On Demand Online will only be available to Comcast subs who currently pay for the stations. (e.g. if you can't watch HBO on your TV, you can't watch it online)

TV Everywhere is Comcast and Time Warner’s answer to free Internet video
Posted on June 24, 2009 | No Comments
Cable providers Comcast and Time Warner might be late to the Internet video party, but that doesn't mean they are going to let us enjoy content for free that they pay for. Oh no, the TV Everywhere Model is designed to give Comcast and Time Warner paying subscribers access to content and block-out everyone else. And this system might find its way into Hulu.
You can't blame the cable operators for their plans. They have to pay good money for access to cable stations. Then they, of course, pass along the cost to subs via a monthly bill. The thought is that those people that pay for the content should be able to watch all of it on both their TVs and computers.
Of course the other side is that if you don't pay for those services, then you'll be shut out. This authentication system will be used initially on sites like Comcast's video site, Fancast, but there is always the possibility that it could eventually make its way on to Hulu.

Optimum Online Ultra, one month later: Hope you plan to P2P a lot
Posted on June 22, 2009 | No CommentsIt's been about a month since I subscribed to Optimum Online Ultra, the fastest Internet service in the country—sorry, Peter. Consider this a predictable, rubbish explanation of how my Internet habits—nay, my life!—have changed as a result of having a 101 megabits-down/15 megabits-up connection.

Video: Tom Brokaw reports on that thing called the “Internet” – circa 1994
Posted on June 15, 2009 | No Comments
"What you can do with the new systems is go directly to the international network computers called *dramatic pause* the Internet."
I wonder if he foresaw the Internet replacing him way back then? Watch this video. It's a classic.

Hulu Desktop app puts a remote control friendly face on for Macs & PCs
Posted on May 28, 2009 | No CommentsApparently devoting developers to something other than the great boxee arms race of 2009, Hulu today took the wraps off of its Hulu Labs project, with several "experimental projects" giving a different spin to the TV show & movie-streaming site. None of them are bigger than the Hulu Desktop app, a "lean back" interface (what, they heard ten-foot was already taken?) that unleashes Hulu's Flash video from the browser and also supports Mac & Microsoft compatible six button remotes -- which makes their unwillingness/inability to continue boxee access or offer an official Media Center plugin even more confusing. Even those without HTPC's to try that out on, there is a Video Panel Designer offering customized embeddable widgets for website owners, a Recommendations section based on what you've already watched and a new Time-Based Browsing option to order programs by when they originally aired. Give them a try and let us know if this makes you forget about all the other ways that were already available (boxee, PlayOn, Secondrun.tv, Understudy, ReQuest, XBMC & others) to get Hulu on your HDTV.
