No doubt about it, the internet is the future for television
broadcasting; it just seems to be taking awhile for the future to
arrive. While many major US networks already allow US residents to watch
previously aired content on the web, there is still a lack of live
broadcasts and the content is geographically limited.
TvChannelsFree.com, with nearly 3,000 categorized channels to choose
from, offers only live TV and you can watch it from anywhere in the
world. Search by country, most popular, theme, or channel name and start
watching the channel of your choice. No registration is required, and
the majority of the channels are of good quality and load quickly. The
site is screen reader friendly, you may need to install a media player
like QuickTime to enjoy all the content.

Inner-Live: Stream TV and News Channels Online
Here's another cool website for free, live TV streaming over the
internet. Here you can stream live TV and news channels without using a
satellite or TV tuner card. No need to register, download or install
anything. All you need is a broadband internet connection. Go to the
site, navigate to the channel of your choice and wait for it to load. By
default the channel window is pretty small but if you want there is an
option to switch to the full screen mode. The site is very screen
friendly with easy-to-follow links.
Inner-Live is pretty comprehensive and lists most of the popular news
and entertainment channels, including Discovery, ESPN sports, ABC News,
CNN, Sky News, NBA TV, MSNBC etc. You can browse channels by country
(about 40 countries), channel type (News, Music, Movies, Sport, Kids,
Education / Science, Government, Arts, Lifestyle, Religious and so on),
or both. One really handy feature is the integrated chat window, you can
see whether anyone else is watching the same channel as you and chat
with them.

Sight-Free Dialing with the iPhone

I received the following email and wanted to share it with you.
Hello,
"I am a Software Engineering graduate from McMaster University in
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and I started my own company called KayZee
Solutions (http://www.KayZeeSolutions.com). The idea behind my company
is to provide software solutions that enhance people's lives."
"I have developed a product for visually impaired people and would like
to share it with as many people as possible. The product is called iHear
Dialer and it's an application for the increasingly popular touch-screen
iPhone by Apple. It allows its users to dial phone numbers without
actually looking at the screen. The original idea was developed for
visually impaired people since it is nearly impossible for them to use
touch screen devices."
"I would like to share my application with as many people as possible
and thought that you were a great place to start."
Regards,
Kevin Zych
You can read more about iHear Dialer and see a demo video on his
website: http://www.kayzeesolutions.com/products-iHearDialer.html

Three Sites for Discovering New Music
<http://feedproxy.google.com/%7Er/FredsHeadCompanion/%7E3/DubeYTs6xHE/three-sites-for-discovering-new-music.html>
Posted: 25 Mar 2009 08:05 AM PDT
WorldSings.com
Are you on the lookout for new music? If you are, then you should check
out Worldsings.com. On the site, you'll be able to check out music from
new artists, rate them, and share what you've found with the rest of the
world. There are many sites like this, but new and interesting artists
are seldom found.
From what I've been able to listen to on this site, the artists here
are innovative and should allow you to find the next Bono or Jagger.
Bands and artists can compete in order to see who the best new guy in
town is, in order to compete for amazing prizes. The 1 million dollar
prize is reminiscent of the American Idol franchise, but taking it
online has the potential to reach way more people.
For the best new music, check out http://www.Worldsings.com
<http://www.worldsings.com>.
Ffffoundtape.com
You can create your own podcast with ffffoundtape.com. Find audio files
from the web, pop them in your own podcast. You'll just need to paste in
the link to an audio file, then write about the audio file you've
ffffound. That's it. You can then share your audio files with your
friends. It is by far the most convenient way to publish audio links.
Users can also create a playlist and save their favourite audio files.
The interface is quite nice, and it is truly simple to listen to the
available files, it even shows you the source of what you are listening to.

VastFM.com
VastFM allows you to stream every song by every artist, for free. Simply
furnish the name of the artist to see his entire discography, and listen
to any song you'd like. This solution uses open music directories and
audio from YouTube videos to deliver every song you can think of. Links
to concert tickets in your area for artists you might like are also
provided.
The site claims to have the largest music directory on the Internet, and
to have all your favorite unsigned artists. If you just look at the
keywords on the opening screen, you will see that could be accurate, the
site is a true platform of discovery. You can find new music on the
spot, and listen to brand new albums to decide if you like them before
parting with your cash.
