This beautifully delivered interview with Stephen Fry is one of the most enjoyable slices of footage I've ever had the good fortune to come across. Aside from being a life-long follower and admirer of Stephen Fry, I am continuously in awe by the way Stephen shares his views on human behaviour and the many mysteries life throws at us.

A huge thanks to Interviewer Peter Samuelson wonderfully captures Stephen's thoughts and philosophical outlook on technology, social networking, learning and how we interact with others. What is it that people like and dislike about people? Stephen explains all.

Stephen is always a pleasure to watch and listen to and I'm confident that many of my marketing and technology friends can take away a few valuable life lessons from the Genius that is Stephen Fry.

Take half an hour to relax in a comfortable chair and watch this video, I think you'll appreciate its content.

Ever wished you had a few thousand or so extra radio station to browse through? No, me neither, but if you did get the urge, then VTech may well have a solution for you. The new VTech IS9181 Wi-Fi Internet Radio is capable of streaming 11,000 Internet radio stations.

A bit of spec on the VTech IS9181 for you spec addicts:

The $199 Wi-Fi 802.11b/g network player presents you with 11,000 Internet radio stations from around the world, or you can stick closer to home and tap into your own digitally stored collection on a PC or Mac to stream favorites or find hidden gems. The player features a pair of 3-watt speakers and 10-watt subwoofer in its compact casing, along with an aux in jack and RCA output. It’s compatible with Windows XP and Vista, or Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5, and it’ll playback MP3, WMA, AAC and Real Audio files from your hard drives.

Web radio stations can be accessed from VTech’s online site or the IS9181, and you can hook it into your stereo or powered speakers for greater audio coverage. Plus you can command it and browse the full-color display via the remote control. You could also add a player to your bedroom as it works as a digital alarm clock too, which can be set to an Internet radio or FM radio station (or buzzer), plus you can get your local weather and a five-day weather forecast to boot!

Can Youtube Become A Household TV Channel?

Youtube have launched their new ‘Movies & Shows’ section adding new full-length content from a selection of studios. Question is, can Youtube become a household content provider in our living rooms? With LCD and Plasma TV manufacturers introducing IP (Internet Protocol) connections to new generation TV’s as standard, delivering Internet media into our lounges looks to be a possibility. The choice of content is a little dated to say the least, if you’re partial to soaps like "The Young And The Restless" and top movies like – Errmmm you know – "The Mod Squad" Well-known somewhere I’m sure, then this new section will be right up your street.

Of course the quality needs to stream down at a decent resolution, but given that Youtube now offer an entry HD option, we should begin to see more full length media enter our home on devices other than computers. Sadly at time of writing, the new ‘Movies and Shows’ feature is not available in the UK.

As a Custom Installer of Home Automation & Multiroom Audio & Video equipment, I find the prospect of delivering online media into our domestic environment via an IP TV set pretty exciting. Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing a "Browse Online Media" button on my new TV’s remote control – it’s on its way folks! All I need now is for BT to turn the wick up a little on my broadband. I know it’s the Fens, but it is the 21st century. Come on guys, more Internet speed please.
