CNN's P2P Live Video Player Sucks Your Bandwidth Dry

Full story: technologyexpert.blogspot.com

CNN has been using a Peer-to-Peer (P2P)-based video stream technology for its live streaming. In particular, CNN used this to stream the Presidential Inauguration. While in and of itself that's not a bad thing, as it shows there are legitimate uses for P2P, what isn't a good thing is the sheer amount of upstream traffic it produces.

The United States needs really fast broadband like what Europeans have had for years, with the emphasis on bandwidth. But as the article noted,

"[T]his might be the future of video streaming to PCs it reduces the load on the servers"

it's not really about having decent technology in the United States, it's all about reducing the cost of providing it to the least common denominator.

This Video Player Will Change Your Opinion about MP4

Most of us will treat MP4 just a portable video player which just only some video and music. Actually I think so until I bought this Digital video player: http://www.gindart.com/buy/43-tft-lcd-digital...
With high-definition screen, you can enjoy a 16 million colors 800 * 480 pixel screen when watching video. Support JPG photos, e-books (TXT), voice recorder (MIC) make this player becoming an all in one media device. watch movies for a long time with its built-in super rechargeable lithium battery. The TV-Output is the highlight of this media player. With the TV-output, you can enjoy the video on the HD TV. Fantastic !

Daily Horoscope for May 23

Scorpio

You're in a very romantic and sentimental state today. You're also feeling quite sensitive and vulnerable, so you won't want to be around anyone you find abrasive or aggressive. If you meet someone for the first time now you'll think they're wonderful and your relationship will always involve putting them on a pedestal. But don't be too idealistic. They are human, remember!
