WinAMP TV
I accidentally found this feature this morning. I was wondering where the hell WinAMP was keeping my “bookmarks” and favorites. I got sick of typing in my radio station via IE. In that big window that opens up, there was an Internet TV link. They have everything from 24 hour rave videos, bootleg Smashing Pumpkins concerts, Anime, and pR0n with rave music in the background. It’s pretty phat because the window has room for an instance of the IE ActiveX which displays the provider’s chosen webpage. The rave one is based in… a dot co.kr domain… don’t know where the heck that is, but they pick some phat music to stream, and got a nice pixel art DJ chik. Anyway, it’s just crazy that I just found this today, and that there is this much media content in WinAMP; my, how far she’s come from version 2… 3 and 4 were just bad memories. I wish I knew what codec they were using for the video and audio.

WTF is occasionally connected?
Question brought up on the Central Dev list by Phillip Kerman in what it would take to convince the peeps at MSN to conver this app to Central. Looking at the Help for MDataGrid, it already has a Centrino logo, <strike>so maybe something similiar has already been done, similiar to Intel’s Hotspot finder for Central</strike> which is from Intel’s Hotspot Finder app.
At any rate, the Flash movie, although slow, shows how a laptop get’s online, and then later off. It showcases how their app downloads the latest content, and caches it so when the user is offline on the airplane, they can still utilize their applications as if they were online… just like Central can do with it’s advanced caching capabilities and and local media storage.

Glasses for an Owl
Via <a href=”http://www.mediadiva.net/mt/”>her majesty</a>.
There isn’t enough room to fit all of the cheesy cliche’s that describe this. The first nerdy-bird, a cyborg owl, etc.
At any rate, I think this is f’n phat; anyone who questions ethics of technology should definately be admired, but if that is ever taken too far, you can body check ’em with uplifting stories like this one.
