We have satellite TV for PC at our house now and absolutely love it! The kids don’t fight over the TV anymore. I downloaded the software to our laptop and we can plug the laptop into the television and even watch it on our projection TV. What a fab invention! I can’t wait to see what they hit us with next.

[...] Good point – RSS just doesn’t mean anything, although neither does Podcast, or Blog, or Wiki or Googling or, or, yes well the Internet has it’s own language and, as demonstrated with Googling, netspeak can become mainstream, there is hope for RSS yet. Although I’d like to see “Feed” being thrown around a lot more for this technology. It works better because you can subscribe to a feed from anything and that’s what will happen in the future. People can more easily grasp the concept of feeding content by subscribing to it. [...]

[...] Timeshifting is a new term that you might hear now and then associated with podcasts. To time shift is to consume content when and where you want to, as opposed to live events, for example television, which must be attended at specific times (although inventions like TiVo are changing this). Podcasts allow you to listen to audio content whenever it suits you, for example on the train to work.

I heard a story on ABC radio quite a few months back about the future and digital radio. Indications were: it will be broadcast via airwave, not via wire, so will not have bandwidth issues (which I think will come to bite many people, more in a moment) and will alow you do listen on demand, rewind and listen to the bit you missed when the VOIP phone rang….

And on the subject of VIOP phones, I see another player in the market – 10 local call, 5c calls between capital cities – sure they promote the savings (plus their ave $19.95/month fee) but they ignore telling you about the fact it will be using up your bandwidth allocation. Sure talk for free between users (like with Skype), but heck, at 5mb per ten minutes – and the way some people can talk…..will lead to some interesting data capacity issues in the future I think (not to mention an unexpected bill for somen from their ISP for excess bandwidth).
