I've been playing with my new HD television, a Panasonic 42 inch plasma. First impressions are that it lives up to its reputation, but all the better to be surfing through its settings and come across the License menu. Clicking that brings up a special screen with just the GPL. Even if it's "so called," it's cool.

Here's an interview for eHub about Prodigem I did a while back that they put up this week, and here's an IPTV feature that PC Magazine is running on their site that puts Prodigem at the top of their torrent page (though I guess we need to work more on our description display ... though I wonder if they wrote this before the last redesign went live).

Phish may be defunct, but livephish.com, their download service, is not. Today they announced that they'll be moving into selling videos from Phish's live shows at $1.99 per track. It's mpeg4 encoded, supposedly ipod video ready and they're offering a limited time free track so you can test it out. Just like their audio tracks, there's no DRM (but it also looks like you can't currently download from FireFox, bummer).

I've given Prodigem's torrent page a facelift. The style is less tabular, more conversational and something akin to digg. It also allows room for a right hand column which I intend to continue to refine. I added some google ads to try my hand at those again. Hopefully I can coax google into providing more than just ads for illegal torrent sites with the added context of longer torrent descriptions made possible by this new layout. Look good? Yes? No?
