Skype&#8217;s founders gone Internet TV. Skype has always been fun (even though I have it installed, I barely use it. Then again, that could be the lack of friends, not the program itself). But this Joost thingy, I had to check out. Rolling into the beta stage, I don&#8217;t mind either. Be it Gmail, or a new Windows version, I&#8217;ll try it for ya.<br \/>\nBut with Joost, something else is going on. The first step into the beta process, I downloaded a non-functional program (it kept spitting out something about a network error). Now WEEKS later, the program (a new download) works and and the actual sign-up process could be finished.<br \/>\nBut now, the actual TV viewing still isn&#8217;t working. The channel list is only filled with a fraction of what&#8217;s been promised. And the list goes on and on and on, even though I like the snappy flashy user interface.<br \/>\nSo, there&#8217;s an elaborate Invite Friends widget built-in, even with a status list, where you can keep track which friends have activated their invite. Lemme tell you, I&#8217;ll spare you the annoying COMING UP screen. I&#8217;ll spare you the waiting for the black screen. I&#8217;ll spare you the worst Beta experience ever (even Windows Vista in its earliest stages, as slow as it was, did function). Don&#8217;t believe the hype, just keep on torrenting. It&#8217;s not like I had time to watch third or fourth grade TV reject programs anyway.<br \/>\n<img src=\".\/pics\/joost.jpg\" alt=\"Not very Joost\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ve heard&#8217;m, probably.
