Roku Videos

On today's episode we welcome our 1st segment guest, Richard Quiroga who is opening the Radius Center Cybercafe. He talks on how the technology separates him from the rest of his competitors, and an extra surprise for our listeners. Afterwords we also hit up on topics including Netflix on the PS3 and Wii, the Roku, and Apple's newest product releases. We laugh it up, chat it up, and most importantly look to keep you thinking.

We're big fans of streaming video into the living room, and whether its through an Xbox 360, Boxee, Roku or even hooking a laptop up, we think it's high time our cable bills started shrinking and internet video took over. Today, a Best Buy executive told the NYT that the company is looking to jump head first into the streaming game next year with a partnership with Cinema Now. Yesterday, rumors floated about Apple's intentions in the living room. What's streaming video really going to look like when it's done, and what's it going to take for us to get there? We ask Kevin Tofel of jkOnTheRun, and Jason Hiner of Tech Republic. Distributed by Tubemogul.

SEARCH ANY STORY YOU HEAR ON THE PODCAST More Info on Screencasts Online Net Neutrality the Usual Suspects by Andrew McCaskey Just like Casablanca Now that the officail Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is set on the Net Neutrality issue, the net neutrality debate continues and now the heavy lobbying begins. The ISP s and telcos maintain that the net runs on their equipment, and that they should have the freedom to do what they want with their investment, and maximize the return to their stockholders. Just like the Inspector, all you need to do is round up the usual suspects. MacLife published an even handed assessment of both sides of the issue: One of the ways an ISP could ramp up profits is to make deals with Internet Application companies who would pay more to provide consumers with an optimum experience. If, say, your company streams video you could pay an ISP to ensure that viewers can access your service at the best possible speeds. So the people watching your videos will be happily munching popcorn while your competitor’s viewers are throwing their popcorn at their computer’s screen in frustration. Pay-for-optimum-play service agreements would also affect small businesses and entrepreneurs. If you are a kid in a dorm room with a few bucks and a plan for the next Google, Twitter, YouTube or Facebook you may find that a big corporation can deliver a less-innovative offering more effectively because they can afford to pay ISPs for first class delivery service. The way that is going to end is going to be a triumph of the lobby power on both sides. Government lobbying has a long and fairly sordid history. And there are a lot of accusations about astroturf the political grass roots campaign that s not quite authentic grass roots. The recent stories about the Communications Workers union, various minorities and a good number of Democratic congressmen coming out against net neutrality have had a bit of follow the money flavor.
