MTV Networks Adds Shows to iTunes
This weekend MTV Networks (MTV, MTV2, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and the N) added 14 popular television shows to the iTunes Music Store. The new content features top-rated favorites such as Punk'd, South Park, Dora the Explorer, SpongeBob SquarePants and Laguna Beach.
Networks adding TV shows to iTunes isn't anything new. What makes this deal special is that select episodes from Comedy Central and Nickelodeon are being made available on iTunes in advance of their network airing. The other networks with content on iTunes currently only post shows for download after they have already aired.
On January 30th, Comedy Central will release a free episode of the animated series Drawn Together on iTunes. The same episode isn't set for broadcast until February 1st - making it the first iTunes TV Premiere.
A couple quick notes about the 14 new MTV Networks shows:
There are now over 40 TV shows available for download in the iTunes Music Store.

I find free sites like http://www.liketelevision.com to be much more interesting than what is or will be available on traditional broadcasting. Quirky, bizarre, hard to find and campy content is more appealing to me than the next episode of "Scrubs". Their model (add supported), is the only type that will survive. This ITunes model will fail. Unlike audio tracks, video is too readily available over traditional networks, and few will pay for the luxury of on demand. Even hospitality based VoD is going ad supported. Welcome to the brave new world of narrowcasting.

Want
to upgrade the RAM in your
Mac Mini? You can definitely save a few bucks by buying a stripped
down Mac Mini and upgrading the RAM yourself. But before you
can install that extra RAM, you'll need to take a walk down to
your local hardware store and grab a couple putty knives.
Need
something to watch on your iPod or iPhone? Here's a tutorial that
explains how to use a program called Handbrake to rip DVD's
into iPod compatible MPEG-4 video files.
Is a weak arm or physical stamina keeping you from taking your Nintendo Wii gaming experience to the next level? Perhaps you should look into getting the Nintendo Wii Nunchuck Controller.

Our interview with Ryan was just like his lyrics, honest and articulate. Ryan was very forthcoming and spoke openly about everything from his break with No Knife to his freaky cats.
When it comes to so-called heavy metal supergroups, a lot of them usually don’t last long. But for New Orleans’ Down – made up of Ex-Pantera vocalist Phil Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown, Corrosion of Conformity guitarist Pepper Keenan, Crowbar guitarist Kirk Windstein, and Eyehategod drummer Jimmy Bower – there has been something special that has kept them unified for over 15 years.
What’s
the point of downloading your favorite songs on iTunes if they
sound like crap on your computer’s built-in speakers? The
sound quality and volume these little babies emit, much to the
chagrin of my neighbors, is truly phenomenal.
Are
you trying to eject your iPod from your computer but the "Do
Not Disconnect" won't go away? Don't worry, this is a common
problem with a fairly easy solution.
So
Napster's gone pay, KaZaA is chock-full of viruses and spyware,
and you need someplace to get your file sharing on. Luckily
for you, there's BitTorrent! Here's a
tutorial to get you started.
