All of us online geeks have watched as eBay’s ownership of Skype not go as well as anyone had hoped. eBay recently agreed that they paid too much for the company, and developments of the platform haven’t been as aggressive as I would like.
Now, over on a blog on Guardian, there is a post saying […]

One of the reasons I like Stage6 better than YouTube is because of the upper limit of quality that DivX’s video sharing site provides is much higher than anything you will see on YouTube, but it looks like that might be changing with the announcement of YouTube HD over on TechCrunch.
YouTube co-founder Steve Chen […]

It looks like the very popular DivX video codec may soon be supported by the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. While it is still only a rumour for Microsoft’s platform, it has been confirmed for Sony’s PlayStation 3.
Adding DivX and Xvid to the PlayStation 3 means that movies that I have downloaded using […]

BestBuy - one of the biggest electronic retail stores on the US, and Mydeo - a video hosting website, worked together to create a video sharing/hosting website for BestBuy.

Why will people use their system instead of YouTube or other similar sites that can store/share video content? According tho the VP of BestBuy, this video service […]

Remember the OLPC project? One Laptop Per Child? A $100 laptop that actually costs over $200 in some countries? Well, the XO Laptop has received its first batch of orders and it comes from Uruguay.

100,000 is the number of XO laptops that will become available to children that have 6 up to 12 years. A […]

These past couple of years have been good for Microsoft and the Xbox, but still, that doesn’t mean that their entertainment division is doing well in terms of profit. At the start of the year, Microsoft’s Entertainment and Devices Division, which houses the Xbox and the Zune, reported a $142 million loss, but in this […]

While Adobe stretches the Photoshop brand into many different programs, the popular open-source alternative: GIMP, continues to catch up to the features of the world’s best image editing tool.

Despite only having a decimal increase, the developers could have very well called this new version of Gimp 3.0, and no one would complain. Not only does […]

You know you really have to upgrade your computer’s monitor when a cellphone screen has a better contrast ratio than it. And apparently that’s the message that Sharp is giving out with this latest QVGA resolution LCD.

This LCD is 2.2″ which is slightly bigger than the new iPod Nano’s screen, which means that it’s actually […]

Flickr - the most famous photo sharing website in the world, and Picnik - a not so popular online image editor tool, have reached an agreement to work together and come up with a way to edit photos on Flickr.

Currently there is only one editing function available, which is to rotate the image, but in […]

In a desperate move made by China, the internet cops (image) working for the government decided to redirect all the Chinese traffic coming from Google Blog Search, Yahoo, Microsoft Live, and YouTube, to a (censored) Chinese search engine called Baidu.
It is not the first time that China blocks specific sites, and I bet it won’t […]

In a good move made by Viacom, all the Daily Show episodes are online at their official website - www.thedailyshow.com. From 1999 to today, you can now view 7,128 short clips (not entire episode) of the comic show. Fortunately, the content is updated daily, so the 7k number will rise.

Obviously, there is some kind of […]

The concept of Gravatar is simple. By using a “universal” e-mail on a blog with Gravatars enabled, you are able to see the Avatar you chose on the said blog.
Unfortunately, the road has been all but clear for the folks behind Gravatar, because as the service grew at a pace that is faster than they […]

According to a survey made by the CEA - Consumer Electronics Association - the top 5 gifts that Americans (adults) want for Christmas are following:

When comparing to last year, clothes were in first place, while peace and happiness was still in second place, but we all […]

Although Yahoo is already offering infinite space, Google prefers to continue working with numbers and announced that by January next year, you will have 6GB of e-mail storage rather than the 3GB (more or less) that we have now.
Rather than just giving us an instant boost, they gave their counter an increase of speed. If […]

A while back I did a small preview of the then upcoming Winamp 5.5 which featured the completely new “Bento” skin which brought a lot of innovations to the player, but not really to the whole media player scene.
Not much has changed since that preview, except for perhaps it’s stability. But what I said then […]
