What’s the resolution of your monitor?  A lot less than 4092 x 3072 pixels, eh?  Because that’s what you need to take advantage of the full 4K resolution now supported by YouTube.  However, many users appear to be unimpressed with the low bitrate (around 6500kbps) for the 4K resolution.  And, I’ll have to agree, it looks pretty darn crummy, even at my rather humble 1680 x 1050 monitor resolution.

You can chew on some of the 4K videos already on YouTube here.

I Just Ordered My Netflix Wii Disc

Netflix Wii Disc

After I receive a disc from Netflix to enable instant streaming on the Wii, I should probably be a bit ashamed at the number of devices on which I can watch Netflix.  In addition to my PC, I can stream Netflix content to my Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii.  Like that is even remotely necessary.  How spoiled are we?

That sad part is that I’m usually working on my PC and don’t want to stream video on it while doing so – and, as a result, I have nowhere to watch Netflix in my office since my G5 iMac isn’t supported by Netflix instant streaming.  Perhaps I should move my Xbox 360 into the office?  Yes, that seems like a productive move.

Facebook Everything Feed

There’s a lot of stuff on Facebook that I simply don’t understand.  However, one thing that I certainly know is that the new News Feed / Live Feed stinks.

I’ve seen tons of people post examples of how to get the “old Facebook” feed back.  The short of it is to move “Status Updates” to the default feed on your Facebook home page.

But, it’s not really the same.

You don’t get links, videos and picture updates.  I know some now tell people in their status that there is new content (like links, video and pics) on their wall because so many people have moved to the “Status Updates” as default.

If you want to get Status Updates, News Feed, Pics, Links, etc. in your default feed, here’s how. [click to continue…]
