Yet Another Boxee Post

Why do I need so many Boxee Post?

Like life, you discover the awesomeness of certain things, gradually, in a more surprising way, in a way we can understand the essence, the meaning of the things as a whole.

Okay, a tech post going philosophical.

Now, the 24" iMac is like a personal desktop and a TV as well. Due to the size, the Mac OS X inside and the fact that it is connected to my 1.5 TB external HD and another 500GB portable HD. Anyway, thanks to this I am now able to do many things I couldn't before, see many things I didn't realize before. I had Boxee on my MacBook like since it was first available as beta, when it first has hulu.com inside, until it's removed and left as video feeds. But it has never been THAT useful to me. Pretty cool and slick interface, video feeds, etc etc but I've never really digged up the features and usability further.

Firstly, of course the general interface. The concept behind Boxee is actually a social network, like Facebook and all, but for Media. So you get to see what your friends watched, what they recommended, ratings, etc.

This is the front page:

Then we have the Music section where you can choose for it to be sorted by Artists, Albums, etc.
Here it is sorted by Artists and Boxee automatically searches for the artists' images for you! How awesome is that!
