The Queue: Passing digital wind?
HD DVD and Blu-ray continue to sling mud; unwittingly sharing more than just music and video; a Joost rival; and equipping your cat to snap pics of its daily adventures.

WHAT IS GOING ON…I’M RICH DEMURO WITH CNET TV IN NEW YORK CITY…AND YOU ARE IN THE QUEUE.
THE FIRST LEGIT FULL LENGTH MOVIE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE…FOUR EYED MONSTERS…AND AT 71 MINUTES AND 54 SECONDS…
IT’S EXACTLY 71 MINUTES AND 24 SECONDS TOO LONG.
TIME FOR SOME EYE CANDY!

COOL PICTURES FROM THE CRESTOCK PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST…
ROUND THREE STILL OPEN FOR VOTING…LOOKING FOR THE BEST SPEED DEMON SHOT…
PHOTOS THAT CONVEY A REAL SENSE OF SPEED…
PREVIOUS ROUNDS INCLUDE SEXY PHOTOS…
AND THE MEANING OF LIFE.
THE HD-DVD VERSUS BLU-RAY BATTLE IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!
JUST OVER THE WEEKEND I SAW AN HD-DVD PLAYER AT COSTCO FOR 250 BUCKS…
TEMPTING…BUT NOT UNTIL THERE’S A CLEAR WINNER.
APPARENTLY, THE NEW LOW HD-DVD PLAYER PRICES ARE HELPING…
THE GROUP BEHIND THE TECHNOLOGY SAYS THE PLAYERS NOW MAKE UP 60 PERCENT OF THE MARKET…
SALES OF THE DISCS ALSO REACHED AN ALL TIME HIGH IN MAY - SELLING 75-THOUSAND MOVIES IN THE LAST WEEK ALONE.
OF COURSE - OVER AT BLU RAY A SIMILARLY SUNNY STORY - THEY SAY 7 OF THE 10 TOP SELLING HD MOVIES ARE IN BLU-RAY FORMAT.
THE SAGA CONTINUES…
WALL STREET JOURNAL WITH AN INTERESTING ARTICLE ON A CONCEPT CALLED DIGITAL WIND…
THIS IS WHEN YOU UNWITTINGLY SHARE PRIVATE DOCUMENTS OVER A PEER TO PEER NETWORK.
IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SHARE YOUR ENTIRE “MY DOCUMENTS” FOLDER WHEN ALL YOU REALLY WANT TO DO IS SHARE FOLDERS OF YOUR MP3′S OR VIDEOS…
THE ARTICLE CITES NEW STUDIES FROM DARTMOUTH’S CENTER FOR DIGITAL STRATEGIES…
THEY FOUND SENSITIVE FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS ON THREE OF THE BIGGEST P2P NETWORKS.
THERE WERE INCLUDING LOAN APPLICATIONS, BANK STATEMENTS AND MORE.
PEOPLE EITHER INADVERTANETLY DOWNLOAD THE FILES WHEN LOOKING FOR A SIMILARLY-NAMED MEDIA…OR SCOUT OUT THE PRIVATE INFORMATION.
THE LESSON - WATCH WHAT YOU’RE SHARING!
TIME FOR THE BETA!
WHILE JOOST GETS A LOT OF THE NEXT-GEN TV ON YOUR PC BUZZ…
HOW ABOUT A CHEW OF SOME BABELGUM?
THE INTERNET TV NETWORK NOW OPEN TO USERS AROUND THE WORLD…
AVAILABLE AS A FREE DOWNLOAD - BABELGUM DELIVERS NICHE PROGRAMMING…
THERE ARE NINE CHANNELS - INCLUDING NEWS, TRENDS, MUSIC, SPORTS AND DOCUMENTARY…
BUT THE COOL PART IS THAT YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN SMART CHANNEL - WHICH AUTOMATICALLY GENERATES A PROGRAMMING PLAYLIST BASED ON YOUR PERSONAL PREFERENCES.
FINALLY - I’VE ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT PETS DO WHEN YOU LET THEM OUTSIDE…
YOU KNOW THEY’VE HAD THEIR OWN LITTLE GREAT ADVENTURE…BUT YOU’RE LEFT IN THE DARK…
UNLESS YOU’VE RIGGED A CATCAM.
NOW YOU TOO CAN FOLLOW A CAT NAMED MR LEE AS HE WANDERS INTO THE REAL WORLD…
THE CAT’S OWNER RIGGED A COLLAR-MOUNTED CAMERA THAT AUTOMATICALLY SNAPS A PICTURE EVERY FEW MINUTES…
THE RESULT - PICTURES THAT TELL A STORY OF SNAKES…
CAT FRIENDS…
AND RUNNING BACK HOME.
THE SITE ALSO HAS INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING YOUR OWN CAT-CAM…
BEFORE YOU TRY THIS AT HOME…MAKE SURE YOU CONSIDER THE SAFETY OF YOUR FELINE FRIEND.
YOU ARE NOW ALL QUEUED UP…I’M RICH DEMURO WITH CNET TV…
DON’T SAY I DIDN’T TELL YOU SO.
