If you own a Xbox 360 and a media center PC, you may have already tried streaming music and video from your PC to your TV. And when you get it working, it's really really cool! However, it's more likely you decided to skip it when you saw the complicated process involved in making it work. Sony fans are even worse off. Let's face it, while the PS3 has the horsepower to play media, it lacks the elegant software to make it a fun experience. The Wii is no better than the PS3 for media streaming currently. That's all about to change for the better.
Orb Networks announced that you and others in roughly 17 million households with gaming consoles worldwide can now enjoy and share all of the digital media on their home PCs directly on their living room TV screen, using the company’s free MyCasting software as the bridge. The announcement is great news for gamers because the Orb MyCasting software works with all three Next Gen consoles, Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii. Steve Jobs is rumored to be scowling as the announcement comes just when Apple is beginning shipping its Apple TV. His buddy, Bill Gates can't be too happy either as Windows users now have one more excuse to hold off on that terrifying Vista upgrade AND Orb has just inadvertently handed Nintendo and Sony a tool that essentially raises their consoles closer to on par with some of the 360's best features.
How Orb Works with your game console:
Download Orb at www.orb.com (Version v2.00.0856 or higher) onto your always-on Windows PC at home. It takes less than 3 minutes to do. For the Wii and PS3, turn on the TV that is connected to your game console and open your Web browser. Using your remote control or controller, log onto your Orb account through your game console at mycast.orb.com. For the XBox 360, go to the media tab and select the media type (video, photos, or music) you want to play on your TV. Click “computer” from the list of options, and you will see a list of the computers running Orb on your LAN. Select one and then pick from the available video, photos, or music. That’s it. Now enjoy, watch and listen to any digital content on your home PC - videos, music, Internet TV and radio or any other online content you programmed in your Orb MyCast application: they are now all airing on your TV screen.
That sounds flippin' sweet! I'm heading to download the software now and will report in later this week with an update.

Poker is either played through small flash card games or at the tables in the many poker rooms out there, like Full Tilt and PartyPoker. Our recommendation is that before you hit the tables and start going head-to-head with the big sharks, try out freeroll poker where you can play poker for free without having to cash up for the game.
