When will soccer fans get MLS games without a cable provider?

Posted on

I'm looking forward to when MLS is available on one or both of these online video services(?).  Will they do it anytime soon - maybe in time for next season?  Superfans would love this much access to video of games.  I think it'd be particularly cool to go back and watch the 1996 MLS Cup, for example. But how do broadcasting partners feel about it?

Boxee and the NHL have launched a port of the GameCenter Live computer-based video streaming service. Like MLB.TV, a subscription (\$20/mo or \$80/yr) is required and grants you access to all of the (out of market) hockey -- games, live or archived. Of course, this will be significantly more meaningful when the actual Boxee Box launches, allowing us to leave the PC entirely out of the equation

Internet Explorer support is on the decline.

Interesting reason for supporting IE6, although the articles lays out many more reasons why many websites are no longer supporting Microsoft's outdated browser.

Not only do the numbers of IE6 user continue to be significant, the types of users seem to be desirable as well: internet n00bs that click on ads and buy what they see (with the money that was not taken by Nigerian 419 scams).

Gmail Adds Nested Labels and Message Preview

Google can now render labels hierarchically.  I've been using a naming convention to get labels to sort the way I want, but this will further declutter my labels list.  You have to go to the Google Labs tab in settings to enable it for your account.

Nested Labels is just a cosmetic change that lets you create labels which are displayed hierarchically. If you enable this experiment and create a label like Mailing-Lists/Linux, you'll notice that Linux is displayed as a subfolder of Mailing-Lists. Unfortunately, all the other places that let you interact with labels show the label as Mailing-Lists/Linux
