If you enjoy YouTubing with friends and family and your computer is not connected to your tv (or eg. if your TV is not HD, which is true for some us still, sigh) then this has not always been straight forward 😐
YouTube to the rescue with a TV friendly interface to use on your PS3 (what PS3 😉 ), Wii (what Wii? 😉 ) or other console with buildin browser.
To try out the new interface simply launch http://www.youtube.com/TV (note TV appear to be CASE sensitive)..
One thing to note is that the special TV version of the site cannot be accessed in your PC’s browser without using a special browser add-on like User Agent Switcher, which can trick YouTube into thinking that you’re visiting the site from your console. If you’ve got a Mac Mini hooked up to your TV, this might be your best bet.
Note, interface may look different from console to console.

http://news.cnet.comWell today’s tip is a bit off topic, but it is REALLY neat (especially for the female gender, we men look hot as we are).
Ok, this web site www.taaz.com offer people the chance to see how they would look with different makeup and hair.. I guess that has been seen before, but this is REALLY well made, you can upload your own photo and then adjust the parameters and start changing hair and stuff. I was amazed at how well created it is and how good results it makes.
So tell your wife, girlfriend or teenage daughter and you won’t be allowed near your computer the rest of that day 😉 but you will score some cheap points and that’s always worth doing..
The site again; www.taaz.com
Just thought this may be of interest to Wii console owners, now you can get a mediacenter-extention for your Wii, and at a price of US$ 39,- it should be worth a look. I have not tested this myself as I don’t have a Wii, what is wrong with my good old XBOX 1 which by the way DO have a mediacenter installed 😉
