anyway, i stream quite a bit over my Sprint plan. it is very useful at times, especially when i Sync bluetooth to my car and watch movies over netflix.
welcome to 10 years later

I have teh slingbox and a sling loaded dvr with access on my fire and Droid x.

So now I find out there was a Polish chick named Monika in Chicago posting on XDA?
That's it, I'm done with life.

The Tech News/Blogosphere Thread

So, I was curious, what are people's thoughts on some of the tech news websites out there?
I'm talking about CNET, Engadget, Gottabemobile, etc. etc. Any opinions or recommendations out there?
Personally, I originally liked Engadget until I found out they seemed a touch biased towards the iPhone, but lately, with the iPhone 4 fiasco, they have been showing their ability to be fairly neutral....That is, of course, until they almost completely trashed my new tablet PC in a review a few weeks back.
CNET seems to be pretty stable and gaining in reputation, but their news does seem to be a bit slanted as well.
I have seen a lot of websites give XDA lots of respect over the past year though, that really feels good.

Try Digital Reviews (I'm biased ).

Engadget is the best i think. Lots of pictures and detailed info.

Gizmoto.com is good lots of strange tech

They definitely know how to cover products and SOME events. I think they pour all their resources into covering Apple events, and I know that it's just great for traffic, but you got to have that techie conscience that tells you to put equal effort into other events as well!

Yea, well I don't see anything about sea monkeys on that PAGE!

Off topic is not considered a news
But I invite you to make an application/tweak/theme/skin/ROM, etc and for sure will be published

Oh but national holidays like national sea monkey don't wont get published!

CNet covers who pays them the most ad money. That tends to be Apple.
Gizmodo for some reason is huge Apple fanboy bias.
Endadget has some slight bias but not as much as the others which is why I tend to stick with them out of all the other blogs.

Mine are:
1. http://www.wjddesigns.com/ (shameless plug)
2. Engadget Mobile
3. Gizmodo
4. XDA Forums
And of course Twitter....

Well, I've been watching all my Lakers home games and some ufc fights on atdhe for a long time - no problems. It does look abit sketchy I have to admit, but I took a leap of faith and it's worked out for me for a few months so I can't complain! Quality isn't great but it's a pretty popular website to get access to certain sporting events.

A little bit off topic but why does homeland security shutdown websites for copyright infringement? You would think they would leave that type of work to the fbi or something while they worry about more seriois things like actual homeland security..

thanks for the links guys

It's because they don't want OBL to be able to stream the Super Bowl in his cave.

Just a heads up everyone about atdhe.me.
That seems to be a fake site not run by the original atdhe people.
http://atdhenet.tv/ seems to be the real site, it has the same formatting as the original. It also has a warning about fake atdhe sites.

Off topic,
OmniNut, I didn't know you're a Lakers fan. How they do vs Rockets? POed me when they lost to the Celts.
Btw, Firstrow is back on, but when you go to their site, it re directs you to another site, different ones every visit. But lately they've been redirecting you to a soccer.tv or something. Anyways, gave fun!

Show Ideas?

Just kinda thinking out loud here (not the best thing to do but oh well!) Wouldn't it be nice to have an XDATV show about some off the apps that come from XDA? (SetCPU ect)
Or just an XDATV show dedicated to app reivews, Like SassiBob's segment but as a full show?
As I said, just thinking out loud

yeah we have chad for roms
sassy for apps
harry (lol) for a mix of quick stuff - maybe too quick
az - general xda news and other mix
that other blonde guy for interviews....
kinda need to find a set topic for each show... almost there....
would be nice to have a Q&A live, or a how-to ( mobile tech videos - bend over and take it with him xda. he is a good resource! )
another show for games...?

Ohh I love the idea of a How-to video! That would go down well with the people who are not as tech savy as the rest of us Not sure about a live Q&A though, that would depend on having a big crowd that interacts & I have a feeling that with XDATV in such a young age it would fail to attract the crowds needed. But I think maybe a top5 show? Like top5 Apps or Top5 Roms?
An XDATV Games show?! Only if we can dress the Android dude up as Mr Chip! XD haha

Maybe this is silly.... But, what if an episode was dedicated to some "issues" (like OEMS locking the bootloader, developer's thoughts on fragmentation, the suit, between Google and Oracle and it's effect on Android and the Linux kernel....)?
Sparky WAS in the doghouse. Now, He's allowed on the deck at least.

opinions often get confused for fact.

Very true.
It was just an idea.
I just like editorials and there are many issues in the Android Community that can be very polarizing.
That was my thought.
But you are right.

okay okay..well....
XDA Developers forum users are way too damn pretentious and immature in order to host a live Q and A - well said, guy who said that above me. XDA is too young to have that kind of crowd.
BabyDoll - Great Idea, hard to pull off without starting a flame war :-/
TRusello - I articulated your guide, but I haven't had time to edit it yet. I did it with Camtasia Studio so it came out nice and clear.
Also, the guy doing the interviews is shawn, just in case you wanted to know ^^
Oh, and on a side note, I need a nerdy girlfriend, so be sure to PM me your qualifications, ladies.

http://thedroidguy.com/2011/04/when-fanboy-meets-fact-android-community-maturity/
I wrote it for XDA but they didn't want to start a flame war, which is very understandable.

I had an idea on a show for how-to videos as well. I'd love to do some!
I don't have a smartphone atm to do any so I guess thats a no
I do however follow HTC news like a puppy dog, so maybe I could do some videos on HTC news? I'm talking ALL news. ROMs, Phone rumors, new releases, OEM firmware updates. I'd love a chance!

My idea for How-To videos was that there would be no set host, but anyone who wants to make a how-to video for noobs could do it. The videos would specifically show from factory to rooting and installing any given ROM on every device xda supports. The footage would be sent to me and I'd edit it to make it as short as possible without leaving anything out, and then it would be uploaded to xda's Youtube channel. If any of you are uncomfortable with speaking or being seen, that's fine, I can do the voice-over. Like I said, going from unboxed to flash-ready as fast as possible is all you'd need to do. Then each of these videos could be placed in each forum's noob sticky.

Man, I'd do it. You, me, and Bob. Put it up on streamly.tv and we're set. Having a live show in general would be fun to do. Sure, I might answer a few questions with "I don't know, go away," but that's why I'd just be hosting it. We'd have guests that came on each week to answer questions. And I'd just smack any pretension that peeked out. Or Bob would. Yeah, Bob would. Plus, there's nobody better than her at keeping things stu...non-pretentious.

My only concern with covering news from outside xda is that its outside xda. I'm by no means a decision maker here, so press on and see how far it goes. I'm sure with a live show we'd be covering general news for a want of content. But we don't embrace a brand as a community, we develop on a large number of devices from a wide array of carriers.

My invention made it to Engadget's InsertCoin Semi-Finalists! Please go and vote!

Hey guys, recently Engadget hosted a competition known as Insert Coin, where inventors submit their inventions and then they select up to 20 semi-finalists who are then taken to an online vote. After that, the top 10 inventors get sent to New York City to present their inventions and have them judged at Engadget Expand. Then there are two 25K prizes which are awarded to the winner for them to pursue their invention. I have been chosen as one of the semi-finalists and we are currently at the online voting stage. I would be very grateful if you go vote for my invention, which allows the blind user to walk around and be detected of any obstacles in their path via a series of vibrating motors. This eliminates the need for a guide cane or guide dog. The link to go vote is www.engadget.com/vote . Thanks for your time, and I will greatly appreciate if you go vote!

Voted.
Although, JSYK, these type of threads are usually frowned upon.
I only voted because your invention is so innocent.
