is Boxee. Since installing it on my Mac Laptop and Ubuntu HTPC I’ve been enjoying lots of streaming TV (eg The Daily Show), video and audio – it’s especially great as a front-end for Last.fm. The interface works beautifully via remote control, and the way it presents my media library has inspired me to watch lots of files I’d been meaning to get around to. There’s also a social aspect: users can see what their friends have been watching and listening to, and can recommend things to each other. I could go on, but others already have. Some of the streaming content (eg Hulu) is US-only, but you can get around that with a proxy or VPN such as Hotspot Shield. Boxee is still in alpha, so if you’re a friend who would like an invitation, contact me. – |
