Check it out, the journalist line-up is not like your usual liberal talking heads.
Let's see what comes through this pipeline.
(Remember, even though it's distributed using BitTorrent, to make it easy to get the content out cheaply, whoever is in control of the content creation/editing still controls the message).

Well, this is interesting. Since I also worked in the high tech world for 12 years (including a couple of startups) I am interested to see if it turns out the reporting is truly independent or just the same old BS. If it turns out to be truly independent I think there maybe hope for millennials after all.

I put in a feature request to the developers for some water pokemon. Let's see if we see an increase in drownings around the world... :shake: :shake: :shake: JK Folks... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
I saw a news segment this morning on HNN that shows that only 1 in 3 millennials has a credit card. They pay cash or use apps on their phones to pay for everything. They feel that they probably won't get a credit card until they grow up like their parents. :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

Yup, you have a good point there. Some people DIED I heard, fell off a cliff or something.

Hey anyway, let's get back to the topic of this new news channel.
I think the launch date is next week some time and we need to download the app from that website, to see their channel on our computers.
Not sure they have a mobile phone / tablet version yet.

I don't know about nowadays but back in the day, putting BitTorrent on your Windows computer was a death sentence as every virus and malware infected every computer. It got so bad that a good buddy of mine went out and bought a cheap computer and a hard drive clone software. He used this machine with BitTorrent just to download music illegally. After the machine would start running so slow due to all the virus and malware he would just restore the hard drive and keep downloading.

Well there are three aspects here.
First is, the STUFF you download might be laden with viruses. So, just don't download weird stuff.
Secondly, the BT downloader ITSELF might be infected, so it depends where one got the downloader application (there are many varieties).
Third, the software to be used with this BT news thing is probably NOT the regular BT downloader tool, but simply uses the BT protocol to exchange data. In fact a lot of systems use this method.
So, all in all, not to worry.

Today is July 19 so they are at least a day over due and no news yet. Also, I did not find an app available for my iPhone for BitTorrent Live or TV. I did sign up for having the news sent to my e-mail. I am very interested in how this actually turns out.

Yup. I'm waiting too.

Somewhat anticlimactic.

Looks like you need to have an Apple TV or Amazon TV to watch (at least, for now).
