Have you ever wanted to find a music file or video online but cannot find them because there are copyright restrictions up in the air? Well, through P2P sharing using known software such as Limewire and Shareaza, you can get files from other who have them while not being penalized legally.

However, you can be penalized internally by getting files which you may not even know if they are secure. Viruses and spyware may be included in the package and while you have gotten the file you wanted, you get an extra headache for the effort. So be careful on what you get and wish for especially if they are free.

A simple website can be your key towards becoming a millionaire. You just need the proper website design, content and the ads that will bring in the dough. Many have treated the approach as a business investment. Some have graphic design artists do the layout and contract writers to do some content for as low as $1 for a minimum number of words.

Ads are normally the icing on the cake. They buy ad space once they see that your site is established and bringing in traffic. Exposure is what they need and if you have a site that has been established for some site, rest assured you will get an email from one of them stating they want to buy some ad space from you.

Friendster, MySpace and now Facebook offer a different kind of interaction today and a lot of it is attributed to the fact that people want to meet new people or hook up with their past friends. Social networking sites come in different groups and today, most people have found themselves patronizing the most populated ones like these three mentioned sites.

As a perk, some of these sites have allowed applications to become their marketing niche. Some use games while others provide different applications that allow them to enhance their sites as if they were actual websites. The clear advantage here is if you are above the rest, then chances are you have taken most of the market already.

Although the Apple TV is projected as a wireless device and that it can function with the built-in airport antennae, it can also have connectivity with the Ethernet cable. So this is a good news for people without wireless routers or wifi routers at home.

What’s lacking in the Apple TV or what’s left undeveloped is that if you have your own videos stored in your PC or Mac, and retrieve it using your IEEE 802.11n Apple TV, it really takes time to get it, as opposed to using the Ethernet cable where it is just a flash when it comes to retrieving DVD-rips and such.

The last entry for this month’s web innovations blog is the Apple TV being an all around device for us to be really entertained within the comforts of our own home. We can hear music using the Apple TV and watch home made videos, and also scan through pictures using the chic device. Ain’t that impressive? It sure does.

But what’s lacking in this device is that for a device to be an overall home entertainment device should have the function of other gadgets like being able to play with DVDs that you bought, although it is possible with the remote disc feature, but it consumes a lot of energy when you do that. And there are other devices in the market that gives the consumers other features like the Xbox and the Playstation 3.

Although it really sucks that there are some flaws or there are lacking points in the Apple TV, I am really hoping and hoping hard that the people at Cupertino will do something and make this product THE Bomb for the ultimate entertainment experience.
