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?

Data caps claim a victim: Netflix cuts streaming video quality. This is concerning. Netflix is reducing quality because of the data caps. As a big Netflix fan myself, this is a terrible idea. We have unlimited long distance phone calls. Why is data any different? Yes it is more intensive on the network and dense than voice, but unlimited is still unlimited. I will end my AT&T DSL service because of this behavior this month.
