Introducing Video Calling in Messenger from Facebook on Vimeo.


Facebook has been rolling out a lot of features lately, this one much like the Scrapbook feature, makes sense.  Video calling in Facebook messenger which is making the move for the messenger to be a standalone service make a little more sense.  With services out there like Skype, Google Hangouts, and Hello from Firefox, this puts Messenger out there to compete.  So you can open the video chat right from an existing messenger window. I think this is a great addition especially since most people maintain FB specifically for actual friends and family.  Most of my family is scattered all over so sometimes a little face to face doesn't hurt.

Looking at the picture above you probably thought that was a USB stick right? Well you would be kind of right. It's fashioned like a USB stick but it has an HDMI connection on the end of it. The one on the left is Intel's Compute Stick and on the right is the Chromebit.

Thought I would share this since Game of Thrones comes back on this Sunday! One of my favorite games ever meets one of my favorite show/book series. Press play to check out Megasteakman 's mash-up.  Make sure you tune in to HBO on Sunday at 9pm!
