Show script:
TAKE A BREAK FROM FILLING OUT THAT 25 THINGS ABOUT YOU NOTE ON FACEBOOK - IT IS TIME TO GET ALL SYNCHED UP.
WHAT IS GOING ON I'M RICH DEMURO AND YOU ARE ABOUT TO GET ALL SYNCHED UP.
IF I HAD TO DESCRIBE THIS SHOW'S SENSE OF HUMOR...
THIS PICTURE PRETTY MUCH SUMS IT UP.
EXCEPT IN VEGAS IT PROBABLY MEANS ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LOSING.
LET'S GET YOU STARTED WITH YOUR MUST CLICK MOMENT!
GOSSIP WEBSITE DAILY FILL COMING UP WITH A UNIQUE WAY TO PUT THOSE YOUTUBE ANNOTATIONS TO WORK...
IN A GAME.
IT'S A 30 LEVEL SPOT THE DIFFERENCE GAME THAT TESTS YOUR OSCAR KNOWLEDGE.
YOU GET TWO PICTURES - CLICK THE DIFFERENCE AND YOU'RE TAKEN TO THE NEXT LEVEL - AND A NEW VIDEO.
SURE YOU COULD DO THIS WITH FLASH, OR ON ANY GAME SITE...
BUT PLAYING ON YOUTUBE IS KIND OF FUN.
A LOT OF WORK TO DO THAT...60 VIDEOS.
BUT IT'S PRETTY EASY TO CHEAT TO THE FINISH BECAUSE YOU CAN LOOK UP THE VIDEO CALLED YOU WIN.
NOT THAT I WOULD EVER DO THAT.
NEXT UP IN THE SYNC - HBO FOR 10 BUCKS A MONTH.
ACCORDING TO THE BLOG HACKING NETFLIX - THE ONLINE CONTENT COMPANY POLLING SUBSCRIBERS ON WHETHER THEY'D PONY UP AN EXTRA 10 DOLLARS A MONTH FOR STREAMING ACCESS TO HBO.
THE SERVICE WOULD WORK ON ALL INSTANT PLATFORMS - INCLUDING TIVO AND XBOX 360.
THAT BRINGS US TO YOUR COMMENT QUESTION - WOULD YOU PAY $10 EXTRA TO NETFLIX FOR HBO?
LEAVE YOUR RESPONSE IN THE COMMENTS OR REPLY ON TWITTER AT RICH DEMURO.
NOW FOR THE DOWNLOAD...
WHILE I'M WELL AWARE THAT WE LIVE IN AN IPOD CENTRIC SOCIETY...
SLACKER FOR BLACKBERRY TAKES THE GUESSWORK OUT OF PUTTING MUSIC ON YOUR MOBILE.
THE APPLICATION GIVES YOU ACCESS TO OVER 100 MUSIC STATIONS.
IT WORKS TWO WAYS - EITHER STREAMING LIVE OR FROM DATA STORED ON YOUR MEMORY CARD.
YOU LOAD IT ON THERE BY CONNECTING YOUR PHONE TO YOUR COMPUTER.
I'VE BEEN USING THE APP FOR A FEW WEEKS AND WHILE THE STREAMING CAN BE A BIT SPOTTY...
THE CACHED MUSIC FEATURE WORKS LIKE A CHARM.
IT'S LIKE HAVING UNLIMITED ACCESS TO BRAND NEW MUSIC FOR FREE.
YOU GET 6 SONG SKIPS A DAY WITH THE FREE SERVICE.
TIME FOR THE BETA!
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU PRINTED OUT AN ARTICLE OR WEB PAGE AND ENDED UP WITH A WORTHLESS EXTRA PAGE OR REALLY WEIRD FORMATTING?
PRINT WHAT YOU LIKE CAN HELP.
THE SITE LETS YOU FORMAT ANY WEB PAGE IN SECONDS...
SELECTING EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO PRINT AND DELETING THE REST.
YOU CAN REMOVE THE BACKGROUND, IMAGES, AND CHANGE THE TEXT SIZE.
THAT MEANS LESS WASTED PAPER, INK AND FRUSTRATION.
DRAG THE BOOKMARKET TO YOUR TOOLBAR AND YOU HAVE ONE CLICK ACCESS TO BETTER PRINTING.
FINALLY - MANY COMPANIES SAY THEY KNOW WHICH SUPERBOWL ADS PERFORMED BEST -
BUT ONLY TIVO HAS THE COLD HARD DATA TO PROVE IT.
THE COMPANY TAKES A LOOK AT WHICH SPOTS MADE VIEWERS REWIND AND WATCH AGAIN...
LAST YEAR'S BEST SPOT - THE ETRADE TALKING BABY - COULDN'T DO IT AGAIN...EVEN WITH THE ADDITION OF THE EVIL EYE KID FROM YOUTUBE.
HERE'S WHAT WAS HOT...
THE TRANSFORMERS TRAILER IN AT NUMBER 5..
DORITOS CRYSTAL BALL AD AT 4
CAREERBUILDER AT 3
BUD LIGHT'S SUMMER TO WINTER AT 2..
AND GO DADDY DOT COM TAKES THE TOP SPOT WITH THEIR ENHANCED AD.
WHAT ABOUT THOSE OTHER ENHANCED ADS - THE 3-D ONES...
KIND OF LAME.
THAT'S IT FOR THIS EDITION OF THE SYNCHED UP SHOW...
PLEASE DON'T KEEP IT A SECRET - SHARE THE LINK WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK AND YOUR FAVORITE SOCIAL NETWORK.
ALSO REMEMBER TO SUBSCRIBE ON ITUNES OR YOUTUBE.
I AM RICH DEMURO - DON'T SAY I DIDN'T TELL YOU SO.
