I know. I know. I haven't written an article for a while now. Most of the PC mags I've been reading haven't been too noteworthy.

I've got a couple of things to mention from PC World, July 2009.

So, here are the highlights, according to me. Enjoy!

SideReel is apparently a great pointer to great online content.


Megavideo is a supplier of video for the previously mentioned Sidereel. Don't go to the site to find videos tho. You must do a search to find content, so use the pattern 'showtitle +megavideo'; where 'showtitle' is the show you're looking for.

{can't get to the site right now, so no pics}

SupernovaTube is supposed to be about the same as above, but may be higher quality video. (use the same search techniques).



The folks at SwarmPlayer & EZTV might have something really great here. sounds like an up and coming technology for viewing content. Watch some shows and see what you think.

Adobe Reader warning: turn off Java Script, due to an unpatched security vulnerability. Edit -> Preferences, select JavaScript on the left and uncheck 'Enable Acrobat JavaScript'.

There's a good article on Facebook safety practices. Suffice it to say, err on the side of paranoia. Don't add apps. Don't add friends you don't know & trust. Don't share info with friends that you wouldn't want the world to know.

The free Web Browser "KidZui" keeps kids safe while browsing the web. Looks great.

Manage all your email from one interface, by using Gmails' "Get mail from other accounts" feature. I have to admit, this sounds pretty good to me right about now. I'm getting tired of setting up Thunderbird every few months.

Well, there you go. Hope you found something useful here!
