Intel to launch full HD 1080p streaming video service for its new Core 2011 processors

Intel Core 2011 Sandy Bridge DRM
Intel will launch a full HD 1080p streaming video service called "Insider" in the first quarter of 2011. Deals with Warner Bros and CinemaNow have already been arranged, and it's expected that a very broad library of movies will be available at launch -- and if that wasn't exciting enough, Intel's streaming movies will be made available at the same time as Blu-ray and DVD releases!

It's a rather odd move coming from a chip manufacturer, but when you consider the hardware DRM available on Intel's new line of 'Sandy Bridge' chips, it all begins to make a little more sense. Historically, publishers have been loathe to provide high-quality streaming movies because of piracy concerns, but with hardware security from Intel, such a service becomes feasible.

There's no details on the pricing of Intel's service, but it will surely be in line with Netflix and Hulu. The only problem is, you'll need to buy a laptop or desktop with one of the new Core 2011 processors!

[The service will be branded as "Intel Insider" -- no relation to "Intel Inside", right?]

PortableApps.com releases Private Browsing enhancement for Portable Firefox

PortableApps.com has posted a new remix of Portable Firefox that includes additional privacy enhancements out-of-the-box. Simply called Private Browsing, the app includes a pair of pre-installed privacy add-ons -- AdBlock Plus and Flashblock. AdBlock is pre-subscribed to the EasyPrivacy list. As for the browser itself, the PortableApps crew have disabled features like persistent cookies, browsing history, and download history.

You'll need to have Portable Firefox itself installed to use the privacy-enhanced version, though the two don't share profile data or bookmarks. It's a good way to make sure you never mix your Private and non-Private browsing sessions and it also allows you to run both browsers side-by-side. If you're looking for something with even stronger privacy features, check out the Tor browser bundle (Firefox) or OperaTor, both of which use the Tor project to anonymize your browsing.

Eyes-on: Verizon LTE gaming and live TV on the Acer Iconia Tab (video)


We said we'd bring you an Verizon LTE speed test on the Acer Iconia Tab A500, but we can give you better than that -- here's a test of latency in cross-platform online multiplayer gaming and a FiOS app that streams live television. Hosting a game of Dungeon Defenders on an Alienware M11x laptop (also connected to LTE), Verizon joined the party with an Acer Iconia Tab, and a pair of the slates were able to go head-to-head in a peer-to-peer Asphalt 5 race over LTE as well. What's more, the carrier showed us an experimental version of its FiOS DVR Manager app, which streamed live television to the Iconia over LTE -- similar to what we saw on the iPad. Unlike the games, it was choppy and took some time to cache, but we'll have to see what it's like when (or if) it's finalized. Of course, if you had just clicked the play button on the above video instead of reading these words, you'd already know all that.

FlickSquare automatically sends your Foursquare check-in photos to Flickr

FlickSquare: Foursquare check-in photo integration to FlickrLast week Foursquare rolled out an incredibly important and contemporary new feature: check-in photos. Foursquare is a far cry from being a primary photo-sharing site, however, which is why a quick-thinking developer has made a Web app that automatically forwards your Foursquare photos to Flickr: FlickSquare.

All you need to do is sign into your Foursquare account, connect with FlickSquare, and finish by telling Flickr to let the app access your account. From now on, all new photos check-ins should be mirrored on Flickr [Can anyone confirm if it mirrors existing check-in photos, too?]

In case you're wondering, FlickSquare also tags the Flickr uploads with the Foursquare venue machine tag, which will create a rich resource of cross-linked venues and photos. Take a look at the number of photos already on Flickr that have been tagged with a Foursquare venue; cool, eh?

?The Daily Show? Weighs In On The Facebook Investment Frenzy [Video]

John Stewart took a bite out of Facebook tonight on "The Daily Show," specifically Goldman Sachs' recent $450 million investment and what it means with regards to a possible  Facebook IPO in 2012. Stewart wryly comments on the irony of Zuckerberg's reluctance to go public, "Mark Zuckerberg doesn't want to be transparent? The guy whose immense success was founded on mining our personal data, the guy who shares my photos with the whole world unless I change my privacy settings every half an hour!?"

To Know Software Is to Love It?

Familiarity can breed contempt -- but is it also what makes one piece of software superior to another? "In many FOSS vs Closed Source project comparisons I have seen to date, 'user familiarity' is often referenced as a point of 'software superiority,'" began Jeff Hoogland recently in the Thoughts on Technology blog. "Not only is this a flawed form of logic, but it is really borderline FUD."
