Xbox 360 With Zune HD Integration (Fall Update Preview) – Fascinating Implications – Is This The Box I’m Looking For?

Wednesday, September 29 Paul Colligan

The TV on the Internet world has had a bunch of interesting announcements this week. We now know Apple TV is running IOS on the inside (TV Apps anyone?) and Hulu+ is coming to the Roku box. When will we get that ultimate box? Does Microsoft have a chance with all in this? Let’s cover…Read More »

Apple TV Take 2 – Not So Much – Choice

Saturday, September 4 Paul Colligan

I’ve been chewing on the whole Apple TV take 2 thing for a few days now. Despite my Fanboy status, still completely and totally underwhelmed. Here’s why: Netflix on demand but nobody else (Amazon, Vudu, etc.). I can get more choices cheaper with Roku (and won’t always pay $4.99 a stream). Heck there are $99…Read More »

Google TV – What It Could Mean

Wednesday, June 16 Paul Colligan

I finally got my mind around Google TV and what it “means.” And it is big. First of all, it is real competition in the “Internet video on your television” space. With Apple TV admitting being nothing but a hobby and everyone else caring about their efforts with the same passion BP seems to care…Read More »

The Rumors Of Podcasting’s Death Are Greatly Exaggerated – But Her Maturity Is Sadly Ignored

Monday, May 17 Paul Colligan

Wizzard Media did 1.4 billion Podcast downloads in 2009 – up from 1.2 in 2008. Video Podcast Network pioneers Revison3 did 1.5 billion minutes of video in 2009, up from less than 1 billion in 2008. And the numbers keep going up. Yes, there are some who prognosticate the death of Podcasting who say the…Read More »

My 2009 New Media Predictions

Monday, December 15 Paul Colligan

First, obviously, my scorecard on last year’s predictions. One major podcast network goes down in flames. None went down in flames but only one of them uses the word Podcasting in their marketing material and we even have one that although still afloat, proudly proclaims a copyright date of 2006. I’ll say it now, the…Read More »

Will Somebody Please Explain The Model Here?

Wednesday, November 26 Paul Colligan

Sunday night was the new 24 telemovie. I pondered recording it but I knew it would probably be on Hulu (via Boxee thank you very much) in under 24 hours (pun intended). And it was. And I enjoyed it while doing a little work Monday night. Nothing like streaming television, on your terms, with just…Read More »

Boxee.TV – 7 Things I’d Change

Tuesday, November 11 Paul Colligan

I am a HUGE fan of Boxee.TV right now. It has changed the face of my home entertainment center and my strategy for 2009 in some pretty major ways, but that isn’t what I want to talk about here. As I mentioned in the last Blog post, I bought a new MacBook Pro yesterday (and…Read More »

What The “Spotlight Turns To Notebooks” Event Means To New Media

Tuesday, October 14 Paul Colligan

Like many, I’ve been watching the livebloggers during Apple’s “Spotlight Turns To Notebooks” event. Currently I’m “watching” Engadget and Ars Technica (for those of you playing along at home). As always, my comments on what this all “means” in the New Media space: First, we start with the obligatory Apple is doing extremely well comment….Read More »

My Roku Box Obsession

Wednesday, October 8 Paul Colligan

In recent news, Roku really wants to run other people’s content (OPC) through their $99 box. Mark my words, when we have a $99 box that plays Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, and a few others (Revision3, get on the box), people will start canceling their cable in droves and this crazy Internet Video thing will start…Read More »

Either We Get A Cheap Set Top Box, or Google Wins

Saturday, September 20 Paul Colligan

I’m preaching to the choir here, but there is a MASSIVE DISCONNECT between Web Video and our Televisions right now. Yes, we’ve got different toy options that do some very cool things (the Roku Box for Netflix, the Popcorn Hour product, Apple TV, the Xbox, etc.) but they remain, to this point, toys. They tend…Read More »
