Listening to your favorite music boosts performance. A study provides evidence that seems so obvious. I wonder why sometimes studies like this are done? Do we have so much R&D money for studies that nothing important is being studied? Will this study convince anyone who didn’t experience this before?
Intel shows off encrypted video conferencing for secret meetings | VentureBeat. This is an amazing accomplishment to have encryption applied to real-time video streams. I wonder how much processing power they needed to solve this problem?
Netflix vs. Amazon Prime Instant Streaming. It seems clear from this review that Netflix is still the better value. Although Amazon Prime is only roughly a dollar less, it has far less titles. Nice try Amazon! The video quality does seem to be higher however.
ShoutCast Review. If you like to listen to internet radio, and aren’t findings the stations you like in iTunes, you might consider shoutcast. It works exceptionally well even on low-bandwidth connections like 56k. Who uses that anymore?
I have used 3 laptops and all of them have had streaming issues with Netflix. My friend and I both have MacBook with 2GB of ram, and an older Dell Latitude.
I have done the normal troubleshooting steps. I have rebooted the computer, tried it with being minimized or maximized and experimented with different browsers. The worst browser on Mac seems to be Safari, then Firefox. The least problematic seems to be Chrome. Having the screen maximized seems to cause the most problem. Buffering it doesn’t seem to help. The Silverlight preferences don’t offer any help and I am using the newest version.
Has anyone else noticed this problem?
