Holy Shyt!! Kyte.com beats live communities to the mobile punch!












Okay peoplez, this is the first time I had to combine segments, but this is too much of a coincidence.

Kyte.tv Kyte.com must be reading my thoughts, or they are just forward thinking and understand that the U.S. is in the ice ages when it comes to mobile while other countries like Korea and Japan are five years ahead of the game.


In my previous blog titled -

The incredible not eatable LIVE video community

I spoke about the idea of a live video streaming from both mobile phones and Webcams. Well guess what. Kyte.com has beaten the live community .com industry to the punch. (Sorry Scott, I guess I was a little to late with that idea.)



Up till now, Kyte allowed people to create their own personal TV channels on the Web by uploading videos from their cell phones to various widgets and to Kyte.tv. Today, Kyte is adding live video streaming from both mobile phones and Webcams, which is broadcast through your personal Kyte channel and archived for later viewing. So no matter if your at home or at the mall you can chat live with live video streaming. This achievement is so big and so hot that even Curtis James Jackson also known as 50 Cent lifted a eyebrow and decided to test Kyte.com out with his ThisIs50 campaign.




So there you have it Jetsons. A mobile live video community. What's next, flying skateboards?

The incredible not eatable LIVE video community



From Livevideo to Stickam to BlogTV, JustinTV, and soon to be in this growing live casting orgy Youtube LIVE. It seems as though there is a purpose for those webcams other then aol and skype sessions.

Take for starters
Stickam.com (www.stickam.com), a live video-streaming community that you can chat live via group or private with your webcam. No web-cam, no worries, you still can instant message share videos and photos just like myspace.

Some of you may think this is a waist of time. "Like why would I want to chat with friends and strangers live on a webcam?" Well it must be a big deal if Youtube - the monster of video communities
(with over 60,000,000 unique visitors) wants to go LIVE! Then again I guess you can't photoshop a live video stream. What you see is what you get.


So Jetsons, whats next huh? We already have a mobile video conferencing feature (Check out the Nokia N93). What about a mobile live video community conferencing feature? A mobile application for stickam where multiple people from their laptops at Starbucks and on their N-Series phones can stream live?

Make sure Scott you send me check for that idea. Haha just kidding.
(no I'm not.)

Myspace takes a TimeSlice in new technology



So to give you the low-down, Operation Myspace (http://www.myspace.com/operationmyspace). Myspace is having a live concert for our American Soldiers in Kuwait next week. Preformances by the Pussycat Dolls, Jessica Simpson, Disturbed, Filter, DJ Z-Trip and Carlos Mencia (HEYYY!!! WHERE IS M.I.A. IN THIS LINE UP!?)

Anyway, the coolest part of this concert is that you are able to watch this live performance from the middle Kuwait on Myspace.com, and it is all thanks to a new technology created by Kulabyte (http://kulabyte.com).

Okay okay, your probably thinking to yourself that this is not news worthy because it's like watching a live concert on cable tv. Here is where you are wrong. Even though this is a high definition live video streaming, it is not coming through a cable modem (aka; your 48 inch HD flat screen panel.) This is encoding a high def stream in real time over the internet. Companies have been trying to figure out this hurtle / problem for the longest. So not to bore you with the tech talk, let me show you how this thing works.

As quoted by Michael Arrington from TechCrunch.com (Word from Word).

"Here’s how the video gets from Kuwait to your computer screen: video is shot at the army base in Kuwait and fed to a Satellite. There’s no line of site to Los Angeles where MySpace is based, so the stream is downlinked on the east coast and shot up to another satellite, then down to Los Angeles.

At that point a third party, Texas-based Kulabyte, takes over and does the really hard part - real time transcoding to VP6 for video, MP3 for audio, in a FLV wrapper. Kulabyte is launching a newly developed technology they call TimeSlice for the first time with Operation MySpace.

Kulabyte then hands off the packaged stream to Akamai, a content delivery network, who ensures that as many users who want the stream can get it.

At the end of the day, MySpace users get to watch a concert taking place in Kuwait live, in high definition, over the Internet. On a normal Flash video player and no special hardware on their end."

So there you have it. A free live concert on Myspace.com, and you know I love free.

Technology + Gadgets + Fetishes = ZeroPointZero


ZeroPointZero is a sleek, sexy, handcuff watch. I bet i could put these hand cuffs on Halle Berry and she would kiss me. (Mmmmmmmmm Halle)

So here something that provokes desire, lust, hate and passion. It's called time. We spend every moment of it either enjoying it, wishing it would move faster, or constantly trying to fight it back. But here is news to all of you Fiji vacationers, students trap in math classes, and people with face-lifts. You can't control TIME!

So since you can't control it, just get this sexy watch for your girl (or guy) and enjoy the moment.

(When will we see a cell-phone watch? I used to rock a pager-watch.)

The baddest smartphone on the block (xperiax1)


If your a mobile fanatic you probably already know about this doohickey. Its called the XPERIAX1. The name is supposed to sound like experience, but I hope that wont null the fact that this is a hot ass phone.

Not only do you get the cool effects of a iphone, you get a smartphone with Windows 6.1 with a full keyboard that slides out (for all you side-kick lovers), a 3-inch touch display at a resoultion of 800x480 (what!? did someone say that is standard for dvd quality on a mobile phone?)

The damn phone even has WiFi, HSDPA/HSUPA, and GSM access. So drug dealers, killers and any other criminals need not buy, cause your stupid ass will be tracked down. But for you common folk wanting a navigation system on your phone, well here you go.

This baby also has 400MB of memory........................................... Now what was I saying? oh yeah, This baby also has 400MB of memory.

So if you are a in style type of person, baller, or just like the latest shyt. Then save your dollars kiddies, cause this phone is on the market the second half of 2008.

Things people say. (Blog of the month)

Since I just started blogging myself, sometimes I glimpse to see what others are blogging about. Some chat about religion, others politics, and some race. Seems to be the top stories these days, (Maybe it's due to it being an election year with the first real chance of a first African mixed American male, and a Female to be nominated as president? .........hmmmmmm.............. NAH!)

So check this funny blog I found. It’s called Stuff White People Like. I had to ask my very light skin brothers & sisters if the statements made where true. Majority said yes, but that’s not the funny part because there are some people whom grew up in my ghetto ass community that are not Caucasian and are of other cultures like African, Asian, New Yorican, and Hollyweird descendants that act the same way. style="font-family:arial;"> The perfect example is Miss Hershey McJones (miss hershey mcjones). From the outside one may think she is an perfect example of blacktacular; (Def: an expression referring to something that is both racially black and spectacular; usually referring to something created by or featuring a black person. Example: Kanye West's new song is blacktacular! Wow, that drawing of MLK is blacktacular! Michael Jackson is no longer blacktacular.) But if you only knew that she loves #77 Musical Comedy, that she likes #68 Michel Gondry, always buys #63 Expensive Sandwiches, you would think otherwise. So note to self. You may want to question your own ethnicity because you just might be white. No for real you just might like potato salad. Recommended movie for tonight - Be Cool

Its all about ninja warrior

If you're somewhat a geek you should know about G4TV. A video gamers network cable station. But if you don't know about G4TV you got to check it out and tune into Ninja Warrior. It's basically American Gladiator on steroids.

Imagine creating a killer obstacle course, literally a killer, I mean turn that jungle gym into some real deal shit. Dig a moat underneath the jungle gym. Remove those plastic parts of the jungle gym and replace them with steel, rope, and chains. Grab the ramps and half-pipes from last years X-Games, and there you have it. A sick twisted fun game that even 13 year old and grandparents can play. The winner of this 3 level break your neck sport wins something more valuable then money, They win HONOR & RESPECT!!! Yes that is all, nothing more then honor and respect
(move over Tiger Woods).
