Google launches Google Media Server, stream to your PS3 and more
June 28th - No Responses

Google is going after the TV, with the launch of it’s Windows-only Google Gadget, the Google Media Server. Finding photos, music and video, Google Media Server makes content from your PC available over your network to DLNA devices, such as the Playstation 3 and most Media Center PCs. Unfortunately at this time the Xbox 360 (or Nintendo Wii), though supporting DLNA, is not supported due to signing issues. According to a Google Media Server developer comment, Google Legal did not allow developers to ‘trick’ the Xbox 360 into believing the GMS was signed (for DRM purposes) into believing it were a Microsoft Product, though the developer pointed out there were ways around the internet to achieve this on your own.

The Google Media Server acts as a bridge, allowing you to serve up videos, music and photos as well as Picasa Web Albums and favorite YouTube videos to your Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) devices. No word on when they’ll start streaming Google Ads to your TV however.

Justice O’Connor announces upcoming edugaming project, Our Courts
June 6th - No Responses

The first female Supreme Court justice has revealed the plans for her upcoming education game project, Our Courts, meant to teach children how America’s courts operate and exactly how their future is determined by a hand-picked few.

Justice O’Connor (78) believes the only way to preserve an independent judiciary is through public education, which in the past has failed to properly educate citizens about the three branches of U.S. government (legislative, executive and judicial). She hopes that using new tools, such as Our Courts, to reach younger students will achieve this.

Justice O’Connor served as U.S. Supreme Court justice from 1981 until her retirement in 2006. (VIA Reuters)
