Watch NASA TV in Windows Media Center

NASA TV often provides real-time coverage of agency activities and missions, such as the recent landing of Space Shuttle Discovery and live streams from International Space Station. NASA TV also provides resourceful videos to the news media, and educational programming to teachers.

NASA TV can be watched right in the browser by going to http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/. It is also available on many free Internet television programs like LiveStation, reviewed previously. Yet another way to watch it is to download the ASX stream file and open it in any streaming video player such as VLC Media Player or Windows Media Player.

For those who use Windows Media Center for watching TV and movies, there is a plugin available – recently developed and written about at WindowsTeamBlog. The NASA TV plugin for Media Center creates a new entry under Extras library entitled NASA TV that lets you quickly watch the live feed. 

This is visually more pleasing than what you get by adding the ASX stream.

The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph. You get a small time-window, about 30 seconds or so, depending on how large the viewing area is.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website.
