OMG! We LOVE the sci-fi series Doctor Who (Torchwood too)! So naturally this picture we found on Pinterest of a gingerbread TARDIS and Dalek cookies made us both excited and hungry at the same time. Yum! Please tweet it to any Doctor Who fans you might know. We’re going to tweet a link to MethodShop friend and Doctor Who musical composer, Murray Gold (@MurrayGold3434).

FBI shuts down Megaupload

...

Look out software and media pirates! The FBI shutdown the popular file-sharing site Megaupload, and Megavideo its video streaming site. According to a press release on the Department of Justice website, authorities have arrested several people in New Zealand so far, including founder Kim Schmitz. They are all charged with “conspiracy to commit racketeering” and copyright infringement. The FBI claims that Megaupload generated $175M in revenue and “caused more than a half a billion dollars in harm to copyright owners.”

Apparently the Megaupload guys just weren’t as clever as The Pirate Bay crew and their torrent site. They’ve been basically been unstoppable by authorities. In fact, The Pirate Bay taunts authorities by posting threatening letter that their receive online.

Average Internet Viewer Watched 23.2 Hours of Online Video Content in December 2011 [report]

...

How much video content did you watch online last month? Chances are, it’s a lot higher than you think. According to a new survey from comScore‘s Video Metrix service, 182 million U.S. internet users watched online video content last month. In total, 85.3% of American U.S. internet users watched 43.5 billion videos and spent an average 23.2 hours each doing it.

What were the most popular video sites? Google was #1 thanks to YouTube, but here’s a lit of the top 5 sites.

• YouTube: 157.2 million unique viewers
• VEVO: 53.7 million unique viewers
• Yahoo!: 53.3 million unique viewers
• Viacom Digital: 45.8 million unique viewers
• Facebook: 42 million unique viewers

Noticeably absent from the top 5 sites, is Hulu. However, Hulu, which ranked 8th in total unique viewers, came in 2nd in total time viewers spent watching content (average of 3 hours). So while Hulu may not have viewers in massive numbers, they do have viewers who watch for longer times. Which makes sense since they have mostly longer form content like TV shows and movies. But with the average video duration watched by U.S. Internet users last month being 5.8 minutes, not everyone should run out and start posting hour-long epics online. Consumer video consumption habits definitely sway to the shorter side.

And just in case you’re curious, the #1 clip on YouTube so far this month is an awesome music video for a song called “Somebody I Used to Know” by Walk Off The Earth with over 29M views (at the time this post was written). Which was a surprise. I was expecting Lana Del Ray‘s much talked about “poor performance” on Saturday Night Live to at least be in the top 50. However, it was nice to see strong contenders like The Woman with Two Vaginas, Sh*t Girls Say to Gay Guys and No Pants Subway Ride all make the YouTube charts this month.

What about you? What video content did you enjoy watching online recently? Tweet us at @methodshop or post a note on our Facebook wall.

HOW TO: Disable Spotlight in Mac OS X [tutorial]

...

Trust us. We really like the ability to search for files or the content of files on our computer. But Mac OS X Spotlight is a total memory hogging piece of crap (especially on older Apple machines). Every time OS X would slow down and the hard drive fan would turn up to full blast, we knew Spotlight was indexing again.

At first, we weren’t sure what was going on. But after we quit all of our applications and still had a slow Macintosh with a fan in total overdrive, we fired up the Activity Monitor app (Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities) and took a closer look. The culprit? A process called MDS was sucking up all of our RAM. MDS stands for “metadata server” and it’s what the Macintosh’s search app, called Spotlight, uses to generate your search results.

But is search worth a painfully slow computer? No thanks. You can use an app called Terminal to disable and re-enable Spotlight’s MDS agent. This MethodShop.com tutorial will show you how…

 

Disable: Prevent MDS From Loading

By typing in the code below, you will remove the Spotlight “mds” agent from launchd and prevent it from running or indexing any drives connected to your computer. Open up the Terminal app (Macintosh > Applications > Utilities) and enter the following command:

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist

You can confirm the absence of MDS by opening the Activity Monitor app (Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities) and making sure MDS is not listed under active processes.

 

Enable: Reload MDS

Probably the easiest way to reenable Spotlight is to undo what we did above and reload it into launchd using launchctl. Open up the Terminal app again  (Macintosh > Applications > Utilities) and type in the following command:

sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist

After you reload Spotlight, the MDS agent will immediately start running again and start indexing your computer.

 

Good luck and we hope your computer runs faster in the future!

Twitter Users Rejoice as Jerry Yang Resigns From Yahoo!

...

 

Yeserday afternoon Twitter exploded with the news that Yahoo! co-founder, Jerry Yang (pictured right), had resigned from his seat on Yahoo’s Board of Directors as well as all other positions with the company including Yahoo Japan Corporation and Alibaba Group Holding Limited.

Yahoo stock holders and people in the tech industry have been speculating for years on how Yahoo could be a better company without Yang. But the last time resignation rumors had much clout, was during CES 2008 when Yang was spotted walking around the trade show floor covering his mouth to prevent lip readers for listening in on his phone calls.

In his resignation letter given to Yahoo! chairman Roy Bostock, Yang said, “The time has come for me to pursue other interests outside of Yahoo!” Yang has been the longest serving and most senior person at Yahoo since the beginiing. Yang and David Filo co-founded Yahoo! Inc. in 1995. Yang was also Yahoo!’s CEO from June 2007 to January 2009.

Meanwhile, Twitter exploded with joy around the news of Yang’s resignation and Yahoo! stock finally started to move a little. Much to the dismay of stock holders, Yahoo stock hasn’t broken $20 since 2008.

10 Ways To Get The Most Out Of Your CES Experience

...

There will always bee cool stuff to see at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas every year. This year, CES 2012 was the year of the Ultrabook, the 55″ OLED, Smart TV’s, bigger, better, faster phones, and a neat idea from TiVo that gets your DVR content to your tablet (oh yeah, there a lot of them as well).

But there are some life lessons to be learned about the conference and Vegas if you want a truly valuable experience.

 

01) Pick Up Your Badge At The Airport

Pick up your CES credentials at the airport when you arrive in Las Vegas. Lines to get your badge in the convention center can can be over an hour long. Feel free to take in a quick game of slots in the airport with all the extra time you save yourself (I played Lobstermaina).

 

02) Set Up Your Meetings In Advance

All of your important business meetings, dinners, drinks, etc. should be set up in advance. There’s a lot going on at CES. Don’t try to scramble at the last minute.

 

03) Keep It Close

Keep your meetings close to your hotel or the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC). Just because you can see a hotel, doesn’t mean it’s not miles away.

04) Use The Monorail

Use the Monorail to travel between the Las Vegas Convention Center and your hotel. Buy your ticket online before you even leave home.

 

05) Plan For Really Long Taxi Lines

If you must take cabs, be prepared for a 45 minute wait. You haven’t seen lines this long since your last trip to Disneyland and they never move as fast as you’d like. If you really want a town-car… book it at least 6 months in advance.

 

06) Cash is King

Always carry cash! That’s the way to make things happen in Vegas!

 

07) You’ll Never Get A Last Minute Dinner Reservation at a Top Restaurant

Book dinner reservations before leaving home. The best restaurants book up fast. If you’re trying to impress a client, you’ll need a good reservation. Dinner at a Casino buffet probably won’t help you close any deals.

 

08) AT&T Cell Coverage Sucks

AT&T mobile coverage sucks in Las Vegas… especially during CES. Just imagine everyone at Nerdstock trying to use their phone or tablet at the same time. In previous years, CES attendees have crashed AT&T’s network.
09) Swag Comes to Those Who Wait

Don’t go around the floor hoping to score good freebies. The only day that’s even thinkable is late on the last day when everything is about to shut down. Basically, everyone doesn’t want to pay to ship all their swag back home.

 

10) Where Are You Staying Next Year?

Book your hotel room now for next year and make sure it has a stop on the Monorail! See you at CES 2013!!!
