There are two ways you can use YouTube to gain fame and fortune: Create a viral video that gets viewed by millions of people. Create a YouTube channel that drives traffic to your brand over time. Viral videos rely a lot on quirkiness and luck. Despite that randomness, there are some best practices that will help your video.

12 Oct 2011 by Craig Lloyd / 2 Comments
It’s not everyday when you come across a media-streaming service that’s both free and has absolutely zero advertisements, but popular music-streaming service Rdio is bringing U.S. users just that (sorry, foreigners). They’re allowing you free access to their database of over 12 million songs without being bombarded with pesky ads and giving you the same great UI as paid users. Th...

Netflix Pulls The Plug On Qwikster Service
11 Oct 2011 by Craig Lloyd
Remember a few weeks ago when Netflix decided to split its instant streaming and DVD-by-mail services into two separate entities and introduced Qwikster? A lot of people were pretty peeved, to say the least, and it looks like Netflix has finally received the message. Basically, Netflix was going to move the DVD-by-mail service into a whole separate operation and call it Qwikster, meaning customers...

26 Sep 2011 by Derek Johnson / 1 Comment
You may soon be able to watch cable television on Microsoft’s Xbox Live gaming service. Microsoft is rumored to be joining Comcast and Verizon to provide a cable-esque service on Xbox Live. No details are out as of yet, so allow me to speculate and dream like a wee lad looking at the wrapped boxes under a pine tree in December. A cable service on Xbox Live would be incredibly convenient to...

GIVEAWAY: Win a 3 month subscription of Slacker Premium Radio
01 Sep 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 4 Comments
Only a few years ago, I couldn’t see an end to the music piracy/RIAA debacle. It would go something like this: A new music sharing application would emerge, it would be promptly used for illegal activities, and then the RIAA would roll in and hand out lawsuits which usually ended in the service being shut down (or being shut down then having their pants sued off). Now I sit here in the glo...

Subsonic: Now Able to Stream Movies and Videos
13 Jul 2011 by Dustin Patterson / 2 Comments
I previously wrote an article introducing you to Subsonic, the open-source, cross-platform software that can be used to stream your personal music library anywhere across the internet. In the time since that article, few changes have occurred to Subsonic. But recently, a feature was added that really puts Subsonic at the top of my list of favorite software – the ability to stream not only...

Getting Started with Android: Memos and Streaming Radio Stations
05 May 2011 by Sophronis Mantoles
There’s a good chance that (like most people) when you wonder “Hey, I wonder if there’s an app for that on my phone…”, you immediately go to the app market and search for it. Now if you are like me, instead of searching for an app, you will ask one of your friends who knows all about apps. Except with this method, you have to be ready for a full lecture on whatever ...

MLB.TV allows sports fans to stream any out-of-market game during the regular season over the internet. For an arguably reasonable price of $120, fans of America’s Pastime have the entire league at their fingertips, in their living rooms, at the airport, at work, or anywhere else you can imagine.

First Look: Logitech Revue with Google TV
01 Feb 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 1 Comment
Editor’s note: I am joined at the end of this article by software engineer Chris Finke, who was kind enough to share his experiences integrating Google TV with his Tivo. Both Chris and I won our Logitech Revues through a developer contest held by Google. The Logitech Revue with Google TV is Google’s first foray into the set-top box hardware format. The idea behind Google TV is tha...

It’s a fact: Gone are the days that homes are built with computer rooms and family/living rooms in their floor plans. The future of sit-down family entertainment is here, and dear lord its about time. This month, my family decided to purchase a nice, new Samsung Series 6 6300 LED TV and a brand new Samsung Blu-Ray player. Now this purchase is not something new to the modern home, but ...
