Do they have any longer non-copyrighted videos on there? DLing to PSP would be cool.]]>Jan 6th 2006 7:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/

Also for $1.99, people will be able to rent, for 24 hours, recent episodes of popular TV series from CBS like "NCIS," "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and "The Amazing Race," Chane said. National Basketball Association games shown on TV can be downloaded for permanent purchase within one day of broadcast for $3.95, he said. Classic NBA games will also be available."

Yes...you can rent...for 24 hours for $1.99]]>Jan 6th 2006 7:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/http://news.com.com/Google+launches+video-on-demand/2100-1025_3-6021998.html?tag=st_lh]]>Jan 6th 2006 8:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/Jan 6th 2006 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/Jan 6th 2006 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/


Umm.. I would have to hazard a guess that YES. Selling copyrighted digital media = copy protection.



Of course, the implication is that Apple LIKES DRM because it locks people into the iPod *groan



Move over Apple? Um.. yeah right..



They didn't even mention PRICE? What the hell kind of 'annoucement' is this??]]>Jan 6th 2006 8:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/'>http://www.google.com/corporate/software_principles.html



I'm really not clear on why Google would include it, and frankly a bit disappointed that they did. (Why I care, I don't know...)



On the other hand, the Google Pack is, as others have noted, a very nice installation method, and is probably just Google's step in the door for further desktop-based application and of course the oft-rumored GoogleOS. Get users used to the idea, then add more stuff...



So, I guess this keynote is a tiny bit better than the Sun-Google non-announcement, but still...what did they really launch today? (Mind you I don't have a blackberry so i haven't checked out the dashboard thing)]]>Jan 6th 2006 8:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/


The NBA is selling games for $4 (online, they should just drop the stupid .95 or .99 - the audience is too smart to be conned by a few cents). And Charlie Rose is selling interviews for a buck with no content so you can listen to them on your ipod (there rarely is a reason to actually watch Charlie).



Larry Page first mentioned Google Video in an almost offhand way on a panel at the NCTA cable trade show on April 4th. Sergey Brin said he was in the neighborhood and stopped by to watch the panel. After wards they talked to reporters and emphasized they thought this was an experiment. They did mention then that at some point content providers would be able to charge for video and set their own price.

Real(use RealAlternative instead)

Adobe Acrobat(bloatware, use Foxit instead)

AOL (umm, don't use it at all)

Norton(bloatware...use anything else)



*drum roll*



BECAUSE THEY'VE BECOME A MAMMOTH COROPRATION



These companies are jizzzing all over the place

because Google "endorses" them. It's a shame. Google could easily build comparable apps that would CRUSH every one of the apps offered by these "partner" companies. Why don't they?



$$$, that's why.



I wish they never went public...]]>Jan 6th 2006 8:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/

Google and RealPlayer... too bad I won't use Real, guess I will have to go somewhere else to watch Google jump the shark.

"Of course, the implication is that Apple LIKES DRM because it locks people into the iPod *groan"



Not true, and one of the main FUDs spread by Apple-haters. You only need iTunes software (PC or Mac) to run vids or music from the iTMS. It's still a closed system but it does NOT require an iPod.]]>Jan 6th 2006 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/Jan 6th 2006 9:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/


Google Pack consists of the following:



Google Earth

Google Desktop

It is brief, but at least it is more complete than the sports highlights on your local news. And they offer a few others

That's true, however, if you click on the Add or Remove Software link, it is possible to download RealPlayer (and others) as part of your Google Pack.]]>Jan 6th 2006 10:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/Jan 6th 2006 10:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/


Sorry, Google. I love my Gmail account, but these announcements are dull beyond belief. Get your act together and unveil Google Calendar with free hosting of ical/vcal files and then I will be impressed. This other stuff just completely misses the boat.]]>Jan 6th 2006 11:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/Jan 7th 2006 12:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/
It's hard to get excited about this, yeah, but they've got something up their sleeve, I bet, that's going to make everyone take notice once the service gets established.]]>Jan 7th 2006 12:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/

The playback is nearly flawless, no software to install, almost zero buffer time, and those thumbnail pictures on the right hand side of the playback aren't for look. They are chapter breaks, useful for skipping dry humor commentators put up...



Google Video Store is NOT Google Video. From what I read, Google Video is a beta test of Google Video Store. The video store is yet to open. And please, how do you expect normal folks to come up with high definition videos.



#26, I will buy your block of shares if I know you. You probably got GOOG during the last few days. Go ahead, blindly dump your investment before actually seeing or understanding the new product.



Google don't hype their products. They rarely talk to the press, and they don't even advertise for god sake.]]>Jan 7th 2006 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/google-video-store-announced/
I was waiting all the day, and browsing news sites and updates now and then for the Google's key note..



and at the end of day all i feel i s "Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn ",



Google Pack? What's there in it?

I already have them on my machine since ages..



Wish we got some more exciting stuff yesterday... But there's always CES next year...
