MSN Messenger Is The Largest Occupier Of Online Time

Microsoft owns the web. If you look at the time that Microsoft applications spend connected to it, the previous statement is proven without question. Who would think that a lowly IM application would be considered king of all in usage?
The take from Download Squad -
To some of you, this might be a shock. To the rest [...]

The Figures Are In, U2 on YouTube – Almost 10 Million Streams

Did you watch the concert last Sunday night on YouTube? I watched most of it, and I was happily surprised at the actual quality of the feed.
Unlike the Microsoft Live Earth proceedings, there was no cutting in and out, nor was the overall video quality as grainy (going full screen on my 1680 x 1050 [...]

Is the Internet About to Crash?

With all the changes in the way we do things, it is amazing how we ever got along without the internet, and, beyond that, the speed that is used on a daily basis.
Everyone is either using the internet to download videos and movies, or outright streaming them. Everyone uses e-mail, VoIP, or some other technology [...]

The Home Court Advantage

No, this is not suddenly a sports column, but sometimes sports metaphors, or analogies, make for easy explanations, and a brevity not otherwise possible.
After having a discussion with someone I know (they would call it an argument, but I simply call it a discussion, because i never raised the level of my voice, and was [...]

Time Warner and YouTube Sign Deal

It will soon be possible to see clips from popular movies, outtakes, and other previously sheltered content from media giant, Time Warner.

How Much Freedom Must You Give Up to Attend a Religious College?

In a country where original purpose was religious freedom, and tolerance, why is there a story on Ars Technica this week, detailing the encroachment of freedom that many religious colleges make on their students.
The story there begins with the telling of how BYU, notable Mormon college, blocks the students from accessing YouTube, but that the [...]

Google’s TV Commercials

The weekend is almost over, and I have had the television on, in the background, for most of the weekend. I have been doing lots of other things, but had the television on specifically to see the Google commercials I had heard so much about.

Ordered Anything From Domino’s Lately?

It’s amazing how oblivious I can be to certain things. I try to keep up with what I consider to be the ‘important’ news, but often I turn away, or click away, from much of what I consider to be fluff.

Our Government ‘Working’ For Us

One thing is for certain, the government is never as efficient as it should be. It seems the best we can hope for is an occasional acknowledgement that it can, and should, be doing better for the citizens.
So it is with the FCC’s mandated transition to digital television. The moving of the date was a [...]
