Some children get worried when they see their parents glued to the computer playing games or browsing the internet. I would join them. Wouldn’t you?

It seems that a 13-year-old girl was really concerned by her mother being obssessed by World of Warcraft. I’m not going to discuss the game as I don’t play it, I prefer car simulation games and soccer games, especially the ones that are played on a real field. Here’s the excerpt:

“I know it sounds ridiculous but my mother has started playing the computer game WoW, World of Warcraft,” wrote the 13-year-old.

“This summer she has been sitting up all day and all night and she forgets what’s important to me. And when she’s not at the computer she’s like a lost soul. She just looks straight ahead and says nothing. I’m not doing so well.”

Other problems are dads watching porn on the internet and both parents stuck on internet chatrooms.

I personally am tired of jumping from Facebook to Twitter, and other websites. Many of my friends (true humans that I know) are on both Facebook and Hi5, and the reason is simple: not everyone can be everywhere, so sometimes to keep up with a person, you have to join more than one social network.

This problem isn’t solved yet, but what Minggl does is gather all the requests and notifications in one simple program, which is actually an add-on for your internet browser. Minggl works with Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Twitter, Digg. According to Minggle, new sites will be added weekly, although the company was founded in 2005, and if new sites were actually added weekly, many more social networks would be available.

Minggle is available for download here.

Today, when I was searching for a video related to Nokia Morph Concept, I saw that YouTube was testing their Beta Player, so that I clicked in the link to test this new player. Let me remind you, that this is just a new player, not a layer or something like that. If you click in one video link you will see, down from the video, this link:

This is getting excited. With faster internet and larger bandwidth anything seems to be possible nowadays. iTunes is a winner in multimedia online stores, but Sony doesn’t want to get left behind.

It’s not the first time Sony tries this, Sony Connect was shut down in March, while it was supposed to be iTunes’ rival. This time Sony’s market is quite tight, as it will only be available in PlayStation’s online store. This can mean exclusive HD content, although internet connections might not yet support these type of file downloads.

I can tell you it is easier then you are thinking. You just need to have some devices that you can buy in an electronic store, close to your home. I haven’t tried it, because I am acceding free with my laptop without that a connection from a McDonalds. Nice, isn’t it? But imagine you want to link that wireless to a desk PC? Just follow the instructions and Good Luck.T

The Instructions

If you do everything they say, you will have something like this:

Now, think better. If you had been paying 30 euros for the internet monthly, you can be saving 30*12=360 euros, without doing any real crime, or something like that.
