Open source video player, aggregator Miro goes 2.0

Miro 2.0

The team behind open source internet video player Miro have pushed out version 2.0. The new player features a new interface, improved speed and performance, and the ability for users to add links to online streaming video portals like Hulu and CBS.com to the sidebar.

Unlike other internet video players which are primarily focused on offering streaming video content, Miro is built for downloading videos. This means you can typically watch higher quality videos and you can watch your movies when you're offline. You can subscribe to any video podcast with an RSS feed, browse for videos in the Miro Guide, or download YouTube videos.

Miro 2.0 pre-release adds support for web video

Miro 2.0
The developers behind open source media player and podcast aggregator Miro are putting the finishing touches on version 2.0 of the cross-platform application. But you can download an early build of the next generation media player today.

For the most part, Miro 2.0 works like Miro 1. It lets you search for and download video podcasts from a variety of sources. If the podcast you're looking for isn't in Miro's directory you can add any RSS feed and automatically download and organize audio and video attachments.

Aside frm a new color scheme, Miro 2.0 also adds an integrated web browser and the ability to add a link to any web page to the program's sidebar. In other words, if you want to be able to watch videos from Hulu, YouTube, or another online video site, just add a link to your sidebar and you can open the web site with Miro.

What Miro 2.0 doesn't do is let you add sites to its search engine. So if you do add a page like Hulu to your sidebar, you'll have to conduct your search using the intergrated web browser, not the Miro search box.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

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. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
