Not to be confused with youtube.com/mobile which allows you to upload YouTube videos from you phone, the new YouTube Mobile will make it easy to watch your favorite videos from your cell phone, rate them, and comment.
Back in November last year, Chad Hurley, one of YouTube’s founders mentioned that a mobile service would be released in 2007. We knew it would be coming, we just didn’t know the specifics. This new service (http://m.youtube.com) will be launched in June for the U.S., and one month prior for European Users.
According to GigaOm, the site will have 800 different “editorial picks” that users would be able to select from to stream onto their phone to watch. Eventually they would hope to make it the full experience where any video could be selected. Now the question comes up about the accessibility of Broadband Internet on your mobile phone to view the videos. Hopefully cell phone service providers have changed some of their policies to make this possible.
Last August Ryan wrote about Verizon’s “Unlimited EVDO Wireless” which wasn’t so unlimited. In fact, a Verizon customer was cut-off from his “unlimited” wireless for using more than 40 times what the “norm was”. After looking at the fine print of the Verizon contract, we found this:
Services cannot be used: (1) for uploading, downloading or streaming of movies, music or games; (2) with server devices or with host computer applications, including, but not limited to, Web camera posts or broadcasts, automatic data feeds, Voice over IP (VoIP), automated machine-to-machine connections, or peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing.
I haven’t gone to seek out the fine print for Cell Phone Internet services recently, but if other providers have similar statements in their contracts, this could cause quit an uproar!

When the rock group, The Eagles first penned their iconic top-forty hit, "New Kid in Town,"
with lyrics that spoke to: "talk on the street. . . everybody’s
watching you," the year was 1976, predating the Internet by almost two
decades. While spot-on prescient as to what was to come, surely Don
Henley, Glenn Frey or Joe Walsh couldn’t have known the level of
surveillance that’s blanketed the world we NOW live in…

If you’re hosting a holiday themed gathering of some kind this year, there’s a chance you’re going to play Netflix’s "Fireplace For Your Home" on your television in the background. Why will you do this? It’s hopelessly tacky. And yet, it will feel totally right; a bit like eating fruitcake and decorating with poinsettias. But who the hell makes these videos in the first place?

While uploading videos has its benefits, there are occasions where a live stream is better — for showing off events in real time, for an interactive game play session, and the like. Thus far, live streaming has been of limited availability on YouTube, and has seen its fair share of success, not the least of […]

Comedian Pete Holmes is at it again with another Ex-Men video. In the series, he dresses like Professor-X and fires some underperforming X-Men mutant. The last time I mentioned one of these videos it was the incredibly lame Jubilee that was getting the axe.
The new video sees Nightcrawler getting shown the door. Professor X brings up something I’ve never really thought about, what exactly does the smoke Nightcrawler leaves behind when he teleports smell like? Apparently, the answer is something stinky. At one point, Professor X says it smells like the Predators dreadlocks. I laughed hard.
As with all the other Ex-Men videos, it’s mostly a string of insults. In fact, at one point Nightcrawler asks Professor X if his home for mutants was just a ploy so he could lure mutants in and insult them. Professor X replies: “a little bit.”

For those addicted to the HBO’s hit series, Homeland,
the writers have inserted drones into their plot lines almost as if
they were dark villainous anti-heroes. Last season, lead
character Sargeant Brody sought revenge for a drone attack gone sideways
killing innocent Iraqi children. This season the unmanned aerial
vehicle is now used as "eyes on the ground" allowing Brody to seek
covert asylum in Afghanistan…
