			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve noticed that I&#8217;ve developed a new habit thanks to the Watch Instantly featue from Netflix.  Now that I can log in and immediately watch a growing number of movies, I find myself bringing up favorite titles and scrolling through to a favorite scene as a quick pick-me-up throughout the day.  My current guilty pleasure is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqts74xfyvc&#038;feature=PlayList&#038;p=8294961797044B76&#038;playnext=1&#038;index=44">Down Periscope</a>.</p>
<p>In the days of VHS tapes, fast forwarding or rewinding to a favorite part not only took time, but it put a lot of wear and tear on the tape itself.  DVDs helped in that you could instantly load a particular scene, but still required you to not only own the movie, but to go through the physical process of locating the disc and inserting it into your player.  That&#8217;s all changed in the age of streaming media.</p>
<p>As more of our media starts streaming in from the cloud rather from discs in our CD, DVD or Blu-ray players, I&#8217;m starting to wonder what other consumption habits will change.   With Napster allowing me to listen to just about any song I can think of nearly instantly, I&#8217;ve certainly found that my listening habits have become very scatter-shot when it comes to bands and genres.</p>

<p>It seems like every family has a wireless network in their homes these days, but did you know that laptops and game consoles aren&#8217;t the only thing you can connect to that wireless router?</p>
<p>I had an opportunity to speak to Cleveland&#8217;s Fox 8 News morning team about &#8220;internet media devices&#8221;, like the <a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Kodak+-+Pulse+7%22+LED+Wi-Fi+Digital+Photo+Frame/9823687.p?id=1218178660031&#038;skuId=9823687&#038;st=Kodak%20Pulse&#038;cp=1&#038;lp=1">Kodak Pulse wireless digital photo frame</a> and the <a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Insignia+-+Infocast+8%22+Internet+Media+Display/9854795.p?id=1218185322584&#038;skuId=9854795&#038;st=Insignia%20Infocast&#038;cp=1&#038;lp=1">Insignia Infocast</a>.</p>
<p>Really, it&#8217;s only a matter of time until EVERYTHING in your house is wireless.  Even the dog.</p>

<p>This week thousands of game industry insiders (and a few outsiders) met in Los Angeles, California for the <a href="http://www.e3expo.com/">2010 Electronic Entertainment Expo</a>.  Running from June 15th through the 17th, it was three days full of giant convention displays filled by equally giant videogame companies showing off both their latest releases, as well as upcoming game titles and hardware.</p>
<p>I was there in the middle of the gaming chaos to help with coverage for this month&#8217;s online issue of <a href="http://www.bestbuyon.com/topic/list/658">Best Buy On</a>.  Helping to cover the show with <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45648677@N07/sets/72157624102330335/">photos</a> and articles meant a lot of running around the convention floor, which can be a lot of work, but it also meant I was pretty much guaranteed to see just about every part of the show floor.  I even had a number of opportunities to stop and <a href="http://www.bestbuyon.com/e3-2010/gaming-apps-hit-small-screen">talk with the smaller companies</a> who came with hopes of attracting new fans to their products, as well as <a href="http://www.bestbuyon.com/e3-2010/other-game-controllers">see some &#8220;unique&#8221; hardware accessories</a> that were shown along with the big show stoppers.</p>
<p>Even though it was my first time at E3, I had a blast, and can&#8217;t wait until next year.  In the meantime, check out the rest of the <a href="http://www.bestbuyon.com/topic/list/658">Best Buy On E3</a> coverage.</p>
