September 4th, 2009 Jobe Roberts No comments

Kids in the Hall and YouTube seem made for each other. Of course, you don't need to wait until Friday night to watch them.  With YouTube you can watch as many episodes as you want, but be careful if you watch too much your head might explode or the very least you'll knock yourself ...

Back in 1950 Ray Bradbury wrote a short story originally titled "The World the Children Made". I can remember reading that short story and feeling the heat and stench of the virtual world the children lived in.  Somehow the words morphed into imagined yet a very real experience to me.  I now ...

Your Accounts have been Linked – Resistance is Futile

July 5th, 2008 Jobe Roberts No comments

Last time it was Yahoo swallowing Flickr, now my YouTube & Google accounts have been linked to the collective. Um, ok. Now what? What exactly just happened? Don't worry, they've simply merged the member databases and now you can probably share information between the sites. Oh, and by the way your gMail contacts can see ...

YouTube Apple TV

Now that I see Apple's new iPod Touch delivering the full YouTube eXperience. I finally understand the Apple TV & YouTube product. You see, none of Apple's products really compete with each other.

Apple TV vs YouTube

June 1st, 2007 Jobe Roberts 4 comments
YouTube Apple TV

A while ago we mentioned here on SM that it'd be nice if Apple integrated its iMovie features with YouTube. We suggested it marry the iMovie feature which lets you pick mp3 tracks from iTunes to put into your homemade video clips. Then simply upload directly to YouTube.

Rumour has it that text reviews are simply not enough any more for Amazon. "You just cannot convey in text what you can with video." So YouTube will be hosting advertisements for Amazon products. The rumour also states that there are now over one hundred products on Amazon with video clips on their pages. Manufacturers ...
