Comcast Is Bringing Skype to TV Soon you might be heading to the television to take a call instead of the phone. Comcast has partnered with Skype, a video-calling service that was recently purchased by Microsoft, to offer the service for TVs sometime next year. Subscribers who rent a video kit from Comcast will be able to use their TVs to make and receive calls from other Skype users — regardless of whether those people are also using a TV for the call. Although Skype-enabled TVs have been available since last year, this is the first time that Skype will be available to Comcast subscribers regardless of which TV they own. Comcast hasn't yet announced what it will charge for the kit, but presumably it will be less expensive than purchasing a Skype-enabled television. "Your television is ringing" might become a new household phrase. [via Associated Press]
The Vaselines The Vaselines es una banda de indie rock escocesa fundada en Glasgow en 1986. Originalmente el grupo era un duo formado por los fundadores del grupo, Eugene Kelly y Frances Mckee, pero al poco se unirían James Seenan en bajo y Charles Kelly, hermano de Eugene, en bateria, ambos ex-integrantes del grupo local Secession. Insolitamente el grupo salto a la fama a principios de los 90, cuando el grupo ya estaba disuelto, gracias a que el grupo Nirvana hizo tres covers de sus canciones: "Molly's Lips", "Son Of A Gun" (ambas incluidas en Incesticide) y la mas conocida "Jesus Doesnt't Want Me For A Sunbeam", interpretada en vivo en el historico MTV Unplugged que Nirvana realizo en 1994. Historia [ editar ] La historia del grupo remonta a principios de los 80. Nacimiento del grupo [ editar ] A principios de 1986, Kelly conoce a McKee en una fiesta en el vencindario. Son Of A Gun [ editar ] En marzo de 1987 comenzaron las primeras sesiones para el primer single de The Vaselines. Lado A: Lado B:
La Vie En Rose - Louis Armstrong Flying Car Gets Green Light From Feds Flying car company Terrafugia, whose website conveniently includes a pronunciation guide (say it with me: “Terra-FOO-gee-ah”), has announced that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has granted the company specific exceptions regarding their Transition vehicle. The Transition aims to fulfill the dream that we’ve been promised since the earliest days of prognostication: The flying car. Unlike other projects like the Skycar, the Transition is meant to function as both a street-legal car and a light aircraft. For Terrafugia, receiving these exceptions is a great accomplishment but it is by no means the last hurdle for the Transition. (Terrafugia via Geeks are Sexy)
