At the boxee meet-up in NYC tonight, the team is unveiling a new bleeding-edge alpha that adds lots and lots of cool stuff to my personal favorite media center solution.
The latest release, which should be available as you read this (or very shortly thereafter), brings:

- Pandora support
- A new boxee API
- A new XUL-based browser to get around the Hulu nastiness
- A PBS App Box app from BoxeeHQ

Boxee is available for Mac OS X, Apple TV, Ubuntu and is in private alpha for Windows.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

boxee is really cool but can be a bit jerky in the play back for some reason. I run parrells on my mac so I also use Jaksta (www.jaksta.com) to download shows over night and then watch them later. Im a House fan so I also convert the stream from Hulu using Jaksta automatically to Ipod format and then I just transfer it from parralles to the mac and sync with itunes and my phone and I watch it on the train on the way to work. Works a treat. HTH
