Media streamer boxee6/7/2023 ![]() Boxee also offers remote control software for iOS and Android devices, if that’s your bag.Īfter connecting Boxee to your network it will attack it quite aggressively, searching for Samba fire shares. The remote is not backlit and even though it’s QWERTY, good luck pecking out anything in the dark. It works well for entering in search phrases and account information, but I wouldn’t want to crank out a book with it. The flipside of the remote contains a qwerty keyboard. Because of its symmetrical design, it’s often difficult to tell which way it’s pointed - and, I’ve found (unfortunately?) the remote works just as well when it’s backwards and pointing the wrong way. The “top” contains a play/pause button, a navigational pad with an “enter” button in the center, and a “back” button. The first thing you’ll notice is that the remote is dual-sided. There are also two USB ports and one SD card slot for additional media storage.īoxee’s remote is both brilliant and odd. For network connectivity, Boxee supports both 100MB ethernet and 801.11n wireless connections. Audio can be routed through HDMI, an optical out port, or a pair of stereo RCA jacks. It’s much smaller than it appears in pictures. If it weren’t for the lopped off corner, Boxee would be a perfect 4″ cube. Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce to you … Boxee!īoxee is, well, boxy. I ordered mine last week from TigerDirect, and it arrived last night. After reading the specs, this sounded like exactly what I was looking for. However, D-Link has released the Boxee Box quite literally, a box that runs Boxee. Up until last year it only ran on XBoxes and PCs, neither of which met my needs. XBMC is one of the best media center-friendly interfaces around. Boxee (the software) is derived from the old XBox Media Center (XBMC). I also looked at a slew of DVD players and televisions that promised to stream video files wirelessly across the house, but for one reason or another none of them met my needs. I also looked at the Western Digital TV Live Hub (also $99), but for that price it lacks local storage (another $99) and wireless networking (another $50). Apple had the right idea with their Apple TV ($99), but (at the time) it didn’t have a lot of supporting apps, local streaming appeared to be tied to iTunes, and it didn’t natively support DivX/XviD files (99% of my video collection). I began researching “meda streaming devices” late last year and found several that did “almost” what I wanted. And I didn’t want to have to deal with the noise and the heat and the upkeep of a PC in the bedroom - plus, again, the cost of putting together a PC to do what I want would be more than what the payoff is worth to me. I didn’t want to put a PlayStation 3 in there because (a) I would never play games in there, (b) the ability to watch movies in my bedroom isn’t worth $300 to me, and (c) I’m kind of sour on Sony at the moment. Unfortunately, up until yesterday, I had no way to stream media into my bedroom. In the living room, this is performed by Pivo, my PC-Based DVR. Upstairs, this is performed via a PlayStation 3. To stream media from the server, you need a UPnP client. (Everything that matters gets backed up to two locations stuff that barely matters only gets backed up to one.) The media server acts as a UPnP Server, running Twonky. The majority of my movies, music and photographs are now stored digitally and reside on my media server.

Viber for mac no ads6/7/2023 ![]() Channels and Communities, however, aren't end-to-end encrypted (as it would then be impossible for new members to see the chat history). Plus, GIFs and stickers are built into your chats to help liven up conversations.Įnd-to-end encryption is standard in all Viber one-on-one and group chats. While many other apps include voice messaging (like WhatsApp, above), Viber makes it just as easy to send a video message for a more personal touch. It's perfect for when you're too busy to talk and too lazy to type. Talk to individuals or create a group chat with up to 250 participants, where you can share instant voice and video messages without having to make a call. The app fuses text and media messaging with a free voice and video call service. Viber is another great all-around entry to the messaging space, with millions of users across the globe. You can also download WhatsApp desktop apps for Windows and Mac, or access the service via a browser at, although in all cases, your smartphone still needs to be on.Īll in all, WhatsApp ticks pretty much every box. Group calls can be made with up to 32 people, and all communication is secured with the same end-to-end encryption. WhatsApp users can place free voice and video calls to other users of the service. You can further customize your experience by changing the chat wallpaper under the app's settings, renaming groups, and setting custom alerts on a per-chat basis. When the two ticks turn blue, you know that the recipient has read your message too. Its signature double tick next to each message indicates that a message has been sent (one checkmark) and delivered (two checkmarks). WhatsApp has a distinctive look and feel. Everything you send, including file transfers, is fully encrypted. Encrypted messages are even removed from WhatsApp's servers once they're delivered. Chats take the form of one-on-one interactions with other WhatsApp users or group chats of up to 512 participants.ĭespite being the most popular messaging service in the world and being owned by Facebook parent company Meta, WhatsApp has end-to-end encryption enabled for all conversations. You can also send files (up to 2GB in size) to other users on WhatsApp. There's a status feature that allows you to share an Instagram-like story with your contacts. The app is a fully-featured messaging client that supports text chats, as well as photos, short videos, and voice messaging. As of 2022, it has around two billion daily users, and it's easy to see why: it's a shockingly decent service. Since then, the service has grown both its feature set and user base. Launched in 2009 as a way to send messages over a data connection rather than SMS, WhatsApp was acquired by Facebook in 2014. WhatsApp is the undisputed ruler of free mobile messaging in much of the world. To be honest, this requirement didn't exclude many apps as it's a very common feature, but I still felt it needed to be stated. For a free chat app to make this list, it had to be able to support group messaging. A lot of text messaging doesn't happen one-to-one. If you want to send something over text message, you should be able to-at least as long as it's digital. They can be long essays, but also photos, GIFs, voice notes, YouTube links, documents, and lots of other forms of multimedia. Text messages are no longer 140 characters long (at least if you're not using SMS). Support for pictures, video, and other multimedia. It also helps that it's easier to convince your friends to sign up for a new service if they don't have to pay. Part of this is because most people aren't prepared to pay for them, but it's also because large corporations actually make surprisingly decent apps sometimes. There are a handful of circumstances where end-to-end encryption isn't appropriate, like with public group messaging and some kinds of business communications but across the board, I favored services that cared about security and privacy. The best chat apps all have end-to-end encryption enabled by default, or at a stretch, allow you to quickly turn it on. Do you know who can read your SMS messages? Pretty much everyone. Text messaging should be about the person, not the device. We don't want any green bubble/blue bubble drama here. If, however, you're starting a friend group, desert island colony, or fan club from scratch and you get to pick the tools you use, this is what you should be looking for in messaging apps:Īvailability on both iPhone and Android. The big reason to use any of those apps is that your friends do. Nor did whatever Google is calling its latest messaging foray. Neither iMessage, SMS, nor Android Messages made this list. So when it came to putting together this list, that freed me up to be pretty strict about the requirements for inclusion. If that's SMS or smoke signals, you have my full permission to use it. I still believe the best texting app is normally the one people will actually reply to you with.

Urban tale movie6/7/2023 My Take: An adaptation of Barrie’s literary fairy tale that is highly original because it plays out like a sequel. My favorite bit is the romance between Snow White and one of the ‘dwarves’ that is really just an unfriendly miner trying to make it rich. My Take: Dark, but strangely captivating in a good way. Until then, here are my personal favorite top 20 fairy tale films: Top 20 Fairy Tale Films #20 Keep in mind that I haven’t seen everything out there (though I am attempting to do so) so if you think I’m missing something important or that I have made a grave error in my selections, let me know in the comments. A few are also adapted from literary fairy tales while certain choices just have the ingredients of a good old-fashioned fairy tale as defined by the Oxford English Dictionary. The film versions are merely just another retelling of what is considered a fairy tale.īelow is a list of some of my favorite fairy tale adaptations (some more folk than fairy). It’s truly the universal archetypes within these fairy and folk tales that resonate with audiences and stand the test of time, from the oral tellers in the past to now even the filmmakers of today. Sometimes, the dwarves are robbers or the moon can stand in for the mirror as told in the Armenian version, “Nourie Hadag.” In fact, Snow White is more folk tale than fairy (though technically it is both) with several variants of the tale told across several cultures (the Grimm brothers were certainly not the first). And while the OED defines a fairy tale as “A tale about fairies” and uses brief words like “fairy legend, faerie,” they also define a fairy tale as “an unreal or incredible story.” Furthermore, not every ‘fairy tale’ contains fairies because some tales are actually just born from folklore and oral tradition, stories told from one generation to the next. In fairy tales, for instance, we find themes of sacrifice, romance, class structures, power, etc. RELATED Romantic Moment of the Week: Cinderella and Prince Kit Fairy tales can be dark with themes far beyond the Disney adaptations of some of these popular stories. Consider the literary version of The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen in which the little mermaid chooses to die (becoming a spirit seeking a soul) rather than to kill the man she loves. ![]() Cinderella, Snow White, and Tangled)?
