The Global Geek Podcast #031 :: It’s the “Holy Grail” of Online Video Edition
Welcome to this edition of The Global Geek Podcast. We thought we had sorted out our FTP issues from last week, Knightwise is about to cause grievous bodily harm… we think it has something to do with his ISP blocking unsecure FTP. Hence the day late show, apologies!
Great show this week and we cover some huge news from some of the big names, Google and YouTube.
Some new software releases including some open source goodness. We think it was Mac week if the applications are anything to go by. We tame windows along with finding the holy grail of video both watching and editing, online!
