I know what I want for Christmas... Google TV must read!

Sony unveiled its newest TV line at a media event last night in New York City. The new model line, known simply as Sony Internet TV, gives users access to the Web like never before. Unlike current Internet-connected TV sets that give users closed, restricted access to the Internet - meaning they can only use special online apps - Google TV literally lets users access everything on the Internet, from their TV. No external box required.

The TV platform uses a full Web browser, Google Chrome, letting users do whatever they want on the World Wide Web, while also watching TV. That's something else unique about Google TV, because most other IPTV applications force TV playback to be halted in order to devote all of the unit's resources to the app.

Sony Internet TV can keep a live TV picture-in-picture box on the bottom-right of the screen no matter what other apps or websites you're running in the background. The TV itself has an Intel Atom chip inside it to power everything. It also has 8 GB of storage, unlike the very measly handful of megabytes Samsung offers on its Internet-connected TVs.

Sony Internet TVs go on sale at Sony Style stores across the country beginning this weekend. They'll also be available in Best Buy on October 24. Price range from $600 -$1400.

I am totally excited about this so if you need a new website, search engine optimization or social media marketing help, let me know. I gotta find a way to get one of these!

The Facebook Announcement

I promised that I would update you on this latest announcement but, in my opinion, the only cool thing to come out of it was the ability to download a .zip file of everything you ever uploaded to Facebook.

I was waiting for the feature to come live and it already is for some accounts so I will give you the instructions:

Sign in to Facebook and select Account -> Account Settings. In the dialog box that pops up, look for Download Your Information near the bottom. You may not have it yet. If you do and you click, it will submit a request to Facebook to create the Zip file. That could take a few minutes to a few hours, since it involves collecting, formatting and compressing everything you have posted. When the Zip is ready, Facebook will send you an e-mail with a link to the download. If you don't have it yet, keep checking over the next few weeks!

Once the Zip file is downloaded to your computer, just double-click it to see what’s in there. There’s an index page that, when double-clicked, will open in your browser. A simplified profile page links to your photos, videos, etc. Or you can skip the index page and use your computer’s desktop to open the photos folder inside the file to see all your photos saved.

Our lives are now archived! Pretty Cool IMO
