On Twin Cities Live I'll be chatting about Skype and how to use it as a free videophone solution as well as a way to use it as a house, baby or babysitter monitor. I won't be getting in to...

One downside of being a cell phone only household (no land line) is losing your phone means you have no phone. And, unlike cordless phones, there is no docking station you can press a button on to locate the darn...

Found out an interesting little tidbit today. Since I want to use Skype and SightSpeed to record audio and video conversations for our daily Netcasts, I decided it would be a good idea to get Skype voicemail again. Since I'm...

Yesterday, Skype released version 1.5beta for the Macintosh bringing Mac users long-awaited video support. Today, SightSpeed is scheduled to release version 5.0 which should bring us inbound and outbound PSTN calls as well as TV tuner support.

On May 24, 2006 SightSpeed introduced version 4.6 of their video conferencing solution and I must say that I was blown away.

I have been asked many times what the best laptop is. My answer is
actually not a laptop at all, rather, a TabletPC. Being a huge fan of
Apple Computer, this surprises many, but Apple has no product that can begin
to compare to the Fujitsu 4020 TabNote.

I must admit I was a doubter. How could a PC based telephone conversation be as good as a land line?
Well, because I have a cousin in the UK and I wanted to make a call with minimum charges I decided to give Skype a try.
The Technology Evangelist team is at the McCarran airport after a long day of gathering as much last-day footage as possible at CES. We'll have more HD video content ready tomorrow. Here are a few highlights from today:

Voice over IP (VoIP) is starting to gain some traction in the consumer realm. Rather than getting your phone service from your local carrier, you can get a much more cost effective service from companies such as Skype, Vonage, and...
