No – Say it Isn’t So!

A Big Moment on The Feud!
A Big Moment on The Feud!

I always like to check out what some of the Top Trending Videos are on YouTube so I have an idea of what people might be talking about at the office. For many many years, the idea of “Water Cooler Talk” came from some wacky comment a morning radio DJ made on his morning show. I was one of those Radio DJ’s that constantly hoped to deliver the “Water Cooler Talk”

It seems safe to say that Water Cooler Talk now comes from Social Networking such as Facebook, Tumblr or YouTube. This Water Cooler feature you are about to see is courtesy of The Family Feud.

I am a huge watcher of the show and can only cringe when I see this fast money challenge segment!

Are You a DVR Hoarder?

A recent article found on the Verizon Website points at trends in use for consumers with DVR Service and discovered there are battles brewing over DVR Hoarding in households.  Let’s face it, DVR’s can only store so much and even though OnDemand services may offer the same programs you recorded – having a full season of a favorite show stored on the DVR’s Storage drive is almost as nice as your DVD Collection on display for all to see.

It takes some of us back to the days of Video Cassette Recorders and trying to find a tape to record a special event or show, trying to make the decision to record over a program already recorded on the Video Cassette. Now fellow family members have to decide which shows to delete when they receive the DVR Storage message. At least with DVR technology, a Wedding Video isn’t getting erased.

Even though Hard Drives in DVR Boxes have gotten larger, Cable and Satellite providers have been feeding on consumers desire to record a multitude of channels and in HD which can rack up some serious storage. The battles will rage on as more is done to increase storage and delivery methods. Check out this very interesting article on the Verizon Website
