YouTube Coming to Apple TV: “This is the first time users can easily browse, find and watch YouTube videos right from their living room couch, and it’s really, really fun”, said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO.

“YouTube is a worldwide sensation, and Apple TV is bringing it directly from the Internet onto the widescreen TV in your living room.”Apple also introduced iTunes Plus today, 256 kbps AAC encoding and no DRM. That means you can play it on iPod and other digital music players and an unlimited number of computers.

In less than a month we will get the iPhone and the final beta of Mac OS X 10.5, aka Leopard, before it ships in October.I’m in heaven!

I’ve came across this Discovery Channel special about the birth and history of one of my most beloved gadgets of all time.

I had a great time watching Steve Jobs returning to Apple, references to Napster, birth of the first iPod back in October 2001 and other great info about the iPod.

Are we going to see an iPod phone next tuesday at MacWorld Expo 2007? Why is Cesar Alierta (chief at Telefonica and 108# Fortune rank) going to meet Steve Jobs (159# Fortune rank) soon?

Why do I have to carry, sync and charge my phone and iPod separately? No I don’t want the Motorola Rokr phone.

TubeSock: Rip. Mix. Copy to iPod.

TubeSock grabs YouTube videos from the web and copies them to your video iPod, Mac, or PlayStation Portable.

TubeSock knows how to convert the video using the codecs and bitrates best for each device. It can even add the video to iTunes for you.

TubeSock costs $15. Until you register, TubeSock will convert only the first 30 seconds of a video.

The Nintendo Wii can play movies taken with most digital cameras without additional software.

But if you have existing movies that were compressed in a format that the Wii does not understand, you can use Wii Transfer to convert those movies to play in the Wii’s Photo Channel.

Too bad my Wii has been “hijacked” until Christmas… I will have to wait until then to unpack it finally and try out Wii sports and Zelda.
