VeniceProject

I've recently discovered the VenicePrject. That's the most mistified project ever! :) I wasn't able to find a thing about what it is exactly. Only that the guys who started Skype are behind it. They say it's something like p2p video streaming, but I know there are plenty p2p solutions available today already..like http://octoshape.com ..Well when Skype was starting there were already some VoIP messengers, so who knows..

If anybody is interested, you can start searching an info about the project here.

If you find anything, please post a comment here! I am really curiouse about it.

New stuff

Few cool things from the Media market I liked recently.

First - YouTube launches it's new feature - QuickCapture. (http://youtube.com/my_videos_quick_capture). It really looks like a great feature and I've been thinking a lot about something like this. In fact I'm currently implementing something like this. The funniest thing is that that Quick Capture page crashes on my laptop. :) It just starts downloading and then bam! I see the error message saying there was an error in my camera driver. I think it's worth to say that I'm using my QTek 8310 Smartphone as a camera:) but still, looks like YouTube didn't expect someone this.


Then the second thing is WPF/E CTP version. It's been released for a week or so already, and had a huge attention on WMTalk group. I have to say I LOVED it, even though it's only a CTP version and it loaded my CPU 87% just when watching the movie. You can find some cool samples of WPF/E here:

Cool thing is that it's able to co-exist with Flash. Like here:

I've downloaded the WPF/E SDK, but for some reason didn't look at it yet. Well... I hope I will soon. The launch is expected in the first half of 2007 anyway;)
