SlingPlayer Makes its Macintosh Debut

For TV junkies, the Slingbox placeshifting system is several flavors of awesome - unless you were a Mac owner, in which case you sulked petulantly in the corner. No more. On Monday, Sling Media announced that Slingbox owners who tote Macs can now watch their
TV from the comfort of hotel rooms abroad, just like their PC brethren. The new OS X-compatible SlingPlayer works with the Apple remote control, and in addition to streaming video from your TV/DVD/DVR/cable box/satellite box, also supports video iPods and Apple TV. If you've already got a Slingbox, the software is a free download.

Kimberly's Blog updated 4/20

This is the first chance I've had to blog this week, as you can imagine. As we've been saying during our newscasts and special reports, our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who lost a family member, friend or other loved one in the terrible tragedy Monday at Virginia Tech. So much attention this week has been focused on the gunman, Cho Seung Hui. And yes, investigators need to sort through many disturbing pieces of that puzzle, as well as determine how well the response was in the hours that followed the first shooting spree. However, it's the victims that we need to remember most. We've tried our best to show respect to them and their families as we tell their stories. Each time a new name is released, and we see pictures of that person alive and happy and vibrant, it just breaks my heart.
