1986 – It’s full name is Centrum der Büro- und Informationstechnik (Centre of Office and Information technology). CeBit actually was started in the 70’s with the Hanover fair. However, the two separated in 1986 when it was decided that together, the two were not doing too well. Since then, CeBit has grown to be a very important conference for all IT.

I love my 2 monitor setup at home. It would be nice to have that on the laptop. While there are solutions out there, nothing has really presented a good answer until now. That is where MyCINQ comes in.

MyCINQ is a 10.1 inch USB monitor that can be set on your desk, or mounted to your laptop. You can then use it to watch Twitter, keep up on stocks, run a movie or Hulu program and a lot more. Want another monitor? You can run up to 6 MyCINQ monitors.

Jeffrey Powers caught up with Ben just before CES started to take a look at this new startup. The Monitor will be available in Q3 of 2010. There is works in getting it in HD. With a $249 price tag, these monitors can really add to a presentation, or just get more work done.

YouTube has established it’s name for the last 4 years as the place to post your videos. It didn’t matter what they were – as long as they were not of adult or copyrighted material. They’ve also seen some growing pains attached to pushing out home made content. The Baby dancing to a Prince song is a good example.

With Hulu coming on to the scene and the ever rising cost of bandwidth use, YouTube has realized they have to change their business plan to survive. However, it seems that their new business model might just create an adverse effect because it makes more work for the people pushing the content. So where is YouTubes’ Happy Medium?

Avast thinks Hulu is a Malicious Site

I went to Hulu this afternoon to catch up on my HEROES. I didn’t get to see it on Monday, so I knew that I could go up there and watch the show without issue. Or COULD I?

Turns out Avast won’t have it. It is blocking the SWF from playing and saying “Malicious Code”. Tried a few times in Firefox and IE. Every show or movie I try to play comes up with the same thing.

Here’s the kicker – neither Avast nor the Event viewer is showing any more info. In fact, it’s not even logging the event!

Could this be a malicious code? Could it be that Avasts’ database is off? Maybe Hulu changed some stuff to thwart Boxee from going through the RSS backdoor?

Well, there is a way around that. I went to NBC.com and watched the episode. I hope it’s not a real issue on Hulu…

**Update – Avast has posted an update to allow the Hulu SWF through. There was still no Event log on what it blocked**
