I know that this is a cliche: just about every Mac publication and their iPod’s are talking about Boxee. For those who don’t know, Boxee is a media-center-esque interface to music, pictures, and videos on your Mac and local network. This is great because it’s got so much more than the built-in Front Row, and even works with the Apple Remote. Oh, but there is just on more thing: Boxee goes online and can stream and download videos. You can stream videos from Hulu, CNN, iReport, CBS, Youtube, and Revision3—that is that these have their own channels, but you can add your own feeds to it. Boxee is free from boxee.tv.

For any of you who have video files from, ah, your DVDs, yeah, that’s it, and the basic Quicktime Player doesn’t work, you can use the free VLC player: VLC has much more power than a basic player, but can work easily none-the-less. This is for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Get it from VideoLan.org.
This is a video from Google Tech Talks about Automator. Get more from Sal from Automator.us. (Automator is a visual way to work with AppleScript, no code required!)
