Overlay.TV Helps You Customize, Monetize Streaming Video
Overlay.TV, a startup that lets users augment streaming videos with customized text, audio, images, and links, has launched to the public. The service overlays videos from a number of video sharing sites with a new layer containing this customized content, which can be used for entertainment purposes or as an easy (and potentially effective) means of monetizing video.
DIY IKEA Headphone Stand
All-things-IKEA weblog IKEA Hacker details how to make an attractive headphone stand for your desk—complete with cable-wrapping posts for cord management—using roughly $15 worth of returned parts from IKEA. The outcome, which you can check out at IKEA Hacker or in the many larger pics at the original forum post, is really impressive. The headphone stand seems like a perfect addition to any desk, particularly if you do any sort of editing or you just like zoning out with headphones when you’re working.

Apple introducing new iPods on September 9th?
There’s been a lot of iPod chatter in the air lately and now MacRumors and Ars Technica say that we’ll be seeing El Steve boom-boom some new gear on September 9th. No specifics on what’s in store, but new nanos are obviously on the table, as is that rumored subscription service and possibly a new iPod touch at a lower price. Anything you guys hoping for?

Podcasting v Videocasting?
Podcasts have been around for a while - It was back in 2004 when they first caught fire. Since then, many unique and useful podcasts have risen to the top and consistently brought in audiences, most notably Diggnation and TWiT
Videocasting, on the other hand, is a new phenomenon, one that didn’t occur until the technology became available with the widespread use of YouTube, live streaming services, and better video and web cameras.
We hear less about podcasts and and more about video shows such as Epic Fu, Pop17 and even TWiT live (now streamed by StickAM). The trend seems clear - podcasting is going by the wayside and videocasting is taking the helm.
Quicktime Encoding/Decoding Hardware Rumor
Word has it that Apple will be throwing in a Quicktime encoding/decoding chip into their future products, somewhat like how MPEG2 decoders were integrated to deal with DVD playback. It seems that this rumored addition will handle MPEG4 only. This piece of news would come as a boon to folks who deal with programs such as Quicktime for iTunes, iMovie and Final Cut Pro on a daily basis, but then again current high end video cards already handle video intensive programs pretty well. As with all rumors, it is only a matter of time before it was smashed or confirmed, so sit tight and enjoy the ride.
