Think about it

Off for a short vacation with the family in just a couple of hours, going skiing. Which is nice.Just stumbled upon this web page though, and it's just too disturbing not to give it a little bit of added publicity. It's about the aftermath of the Chernobyl catastrophy, and it shows a world where nothing…Read more Think about it

Quite funny

for a different take on the Microsoft vs Mac eternal struggle, look no further than this. Pretty neat 🙂

The biggest, the best, better (?) than the rest

Who should be afraid of the big bad wolf? Just about anyone, I guess. Analyst firm ZenithOptimedia (what a name! :P) just released a report on the biggest media owners on the planet. Not surprisingly, most are from the US, with Time Warner heading the list (a measly 29 billion $ in revenues). Leading the…Read more The biggest, the best, better (?) than the rest

If you’re gonna watch mobile TV – watch it on this

Having familiarized myself with the earlier, pretty bulky and unwieldy, versions of gadgets supporting DVB-H (that's Digital Video Broadcast-Handheld, a standard for mobile broadcasting advocated by the DVB project, Nokia, Siemens etc, and in competition with DMB, the Korean version, MediaFLO etc) this next gadget to be out on the market feels like a trip…Read more If you’re gonna watch mobile TV – watch it on this

Anyone who is interested in IPTV for one reason or another (for my part I couldn't care less about the technologies involved -…Read more IPTV World Forum – preview

Joost – why not?

Well, Joost is looking good. The project formerly known as The Venice Project (as written about on this blog in mid-December) is generating quite a stir on the IPTV-market. See, Joost is a Very Good Thing [tm] for PC owners (and Macs as well). It uses the P2P-principles of Bittorrent, for example, to give IPTV…Read more Joost – why not?

Mobile television – hot or not?

First off, let's examine what we've got:- hundreds of companies putting untold millions of dollars into mobile television projects- operators and industry players putting their name on the line, convinced that mobile television is THE next big thing- researches, each one more optimistic than the next one, promising us millions and billions of mobile tv…Read more Mobile television – hot or not?

When I grow up

...I'm going to be a tv-chef. Or do something like this guy, the Human Beatbox-in-da-kitchen. He's quite good actually - might be something for Strömsö to have on the show 🙂

TV

In the US, there have been a coverage of households with television exceeding 95% sine 1970. The 98% mark was breached in 1981, and at the moment 111,400,000 of the 113,410,000 households that the US holds ( 😛 ) are equipped with a television.For some reason, I'm a lot more interested in the 2,010,000 households…Read more TV

An alternative

For those slightly fed up with YouTube and the increasing amount of garbage being touted by mega-businesses from all over on said site (or just the insane amount of crap videos posted by anyone else), there are quite a few alternatives. The one I like the most at the moment is Live Leak, which is…Read more An alternative
