The Flip - Products - Meet the Family

The Flip - Products - Meet the Family
It's hard to believe that people are going crazy over something that has almost no features.  The flip camcorder is the essence of point and capture.  All you have to do is press the button and you're recording.  I'll be getting at least one of these to use in the classroom during labs.  Take a look

hulu

www.hulu.com is finally up.  Hulu is a Web site that allows you to watch movies, tv shows and clips of both.  The choices are somewhat limited and the movies have commercials in them (they're only 20 seconds long each) but they are FREE.  I watched part of Usual Suspects last night (great movie) on hulu. The quality is decent.  Try it out.

Why would anyone use itunes?

I'm still trying to figure out why anyone would use iTunes to buy their music?  A majority of the music in iTunes music has DRM (digital rights management) which causes a bit-loss in download quality (this means your music doesn't sound as good as it could) and it limits the play of the music to an apple device.  The DRM is in place to try to prevent piracy.  Amazon.com does not, however, have DRM on any of its content which means better music quality and a greater range of hardware playback options.  So, the moral of the story is, buy your music on Amazon.com
