Granted, this post is a bit early, I’ve only been using Vista on the my new PC for about a week and a half, but I just had to blog about it!

I have been waiting too long! Welcome, everyone, to the Digital Music age! What, I missed the revolution? Not at all. I refused to purchase music that was locked into single platform and DRM‘d to death.

Don’t worry, I didn’t disappear anywhere. I was busy most of this week planning and building my latest and greatest PC, and I am really proud of this one. I built it from the finest cost-effective components.

As I mentioned in the title of my Ventures page (which is still unfinished, as yet another testament to what happens with my Ventures…), most of my ideas get implemented not by me.

Are you all Joost‘ed up yet? This video platform is revolutionary and is truly disruptive to Video on the Web, and even Cable TV for home. It’s perfectly legal too, since just like the broadcast model, it is advertiser supported.

When this amazing gadget shows up in your run-of-the-mill neighborhood warehouse club, this truly takes it mainstream. Meet ezGear ezVisionX4 Video iWear, courtesy of BJ’s wholesale club. Yep, finally, all those science fiction movies we all saw as kids are coming true.

Short post today, since it’s very late. I tried out Opera 9.50 Alpha today, and while it may be as lightening fast as they claim, that doesn’t help me any.

Mr Scoble, I am really becoming agitated here, and sorry to say, I’m very close to unsubscribing from your otherwise excellent blog. I’ve been reading your blog for many months (years?

It amazes me that in this day and age it is still possible to come up with revolutionary algorithms in computer science. One would think that by now we have figured out how to do Image manipulation, but, as they say, We Don’t Know Jack!

Wow, I am thrilled with all the comments and excitement surrounding my recent Geeky post about hand soap. So, by popular request, today’s topic is arguably best Toilet Paper ever.

Well, after whole of 2 weeks, this site already needs more room 🙂 So, this blog is moving to a new host, which should lead to better performance, or so I hope.

I am glad to see I called this one correctly. Looks like tipping point for H.264 is finally here, and hopefully the support across the industry will accelerate from here on.

Miro is a new name for old time favorite Democracy player. Along with a new name, it got a grand redesign, which I like. It is currently my High Definition Internet Video aggregator of choice, along with old time favorite Vuze, of course.

I am still struggling with exact instructions on creating not just any old MP4 file, but one that is XBOX 360 compatible. It turns out to be very very hard, for unknown reason.

So, which Codec are you storing your Media in? Things like Home Movies, or recorded TV shows? How about your Music collection? Don’t even know or care what Codec is?

Unbeknownst to most people, Dell launched a radically excellent web site to facilitate improved communications with their customers. Dell’s IdeaStorm has a simple, yet powerful, concept. People (presumably Dell users and buyers) submit Ideas of what they would like to see improved/added/changed in Dell’s Products/Support/Services.
