I found this information to be really true this is from Eric Zimmett I take no responsibility for this post see his tumblr

Some early Tech/Internet TV predictions and Trends to Watch in 2013.

1. Cloud Takes Off – Movies in the cloud in 2K13

example: Vudu will replace our DVD collection.

2. Direct Access is King– Skipping the middle man

example: Louis CK, selling his special online and later tickets to his show

3. Original Programming for Web TV

example: Hulu’s Booth at the End and Battleground. Netflix Lilyhammer, YouTube original programming, etc.

4. HBO Breaks from Cable

example: First sign was HBO offering free premieres of Newsroom, Girls and Veep…. Later,  deal with Hulu in Japan…consumers are pushing for it at takemymoneyHBO.com

5. Internet TV viewing surpasses cable and satellite

example:  in June, Netflix subscribers watched 1 billion hours of video…more than cable, the first time web video surpassed cable. This will become the norm in 2013.

Youtube Lean Back Get & Upgrade


This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Now you can watch your Youtube better Via Big Screen thanks to the new Leanback upgrade!

YouTube has quietly rolled out what looks like major update to its YouTube Leanback program, making it easier for users to watch and control videos on a big screen.

The new mode, accessible via YouTube.com/TV, allows users to more easily control the YouTube experience from a TV or large monitor.

You control the interface with your keyboard — using the arrow keys to navigate and certain letter keys to access various functions. For example, the “G” key acts as home and “S” acts as search.

My-Even though Google TV has an app for Youtube on it I tried it on Google TV works great-actually better than the actually app for it! It do have to take some getting use to but it was fun to see!

4 Year old boy gets a hold of a used condom in a hotel room….. see video

A 4-year-old boy’s mouth is now covered with what appears to be herpes blisters after he played with a USED condom he found in an Atlanta hotel room! And fears are growing that he may have contracted other sexually transmitted diseases from the incident.

Distraught grandmother Carmen Jones says she and her grandson were staying at the Wyndham Garden Hotel in downtown Atlanta last month when she noticed him with a discarded condom in his MOUTH.

“I ran out the bathroom and my grandson had a condom in his mouth. His tongue was in the condom and he was trying to blow it up. I immediately took it out of his mouth and he thought it was a balloon, that he was blowing up a balloon,” she told WCGL News. “It still had what appeared to be semen in the condom.”

Jones told hotel management what happened and they confiscated the condom. “I want to take the condom and have it tested,” she said.

A day later, her grandson became ill and showed signs of what looked like an STD. “Little white blisters all on the top of his mouth, on his tongue, inside the mouth, inside the lip the bottom lip, it was all over,” she said.

But after 10 days of treatment–which cleared up the blisters–the boy has suffered yet another outbreak.

Jones is now awaiting the results from the medical tests.
