I have been down this rabbit hole many times over the past 15 years as well. I worked for a company that had a vested interest in me finding a cost effective solution.

Unfortunately, it never materialized. Bunnie is a hero and his work is liberating. I could never get the NeTV stable enough to go into commercial production and the NeTV2 is excellent but a little too expensive.

What I love about Chris Hadfields updates are that he is entirely world centric. "400 thousand of us live here" in Countries on the other side of the world. Devoting time not only to Canada and the US but truly communicating the importance of "International" in the title of the ISS.

I noticed that message last month when I was interested in installing it. Sadly I do not have the skills to takeover such a daunting project, hopefully others in the community will come through.
Re:Whitehouse raises petition signature threshold to 100,000 on Tuesday January 15, 2013 @11:22PM (#5065248)
I have yet to see a petition taken seriously and obtain results. Im not American, but this seems just like lip service. Correct me if im wrong.
Re:Canadian Prime Minister: $400M to Strengthen Canadian VC on Monday January 14, 2013 @11:50PM (#5058693)
I will believe it when they start making money available, being an Ontario based business in the GTA owned by a white male non minority not in the middle of the sticks.... youre gonna be out of luck.

I went through no less than 50 funds available for companies in Ontario and didnt qualify for a single one. Yet, if I was in North West Territories and native... I would have millions at my disposal.

Re:Google’s Self-Driving Cars Are Going to Change Everything on Wednesday August 15, 2012 @01:29AM (#4384730)
I am a firm believer that if the car was never invented until 2012, we would not be in control of them, they would be computerized and autonomous.

I welcome the day when unnecessary deaths due to car accidents is a reality.

I love that story, thanks for sharing
Wow thats a TON of wishes and a complex task. You can buy a live encoder and external mixer and mix live signals to the encoder then live to the internet. Because you are already using streaming cameras, it may be difficult to switch during a broadcast. Although, Boinx software seems to have a solution to mix video and broadcast to live stream. Their documentation doesnt exactly state how many live stream inputs they support so you might want to send them an email.
Re:Apple bans Linux/Android Dual-Booting on iPad Devices on Monday June 04, 2012 @01:43PM (#4064990)
I am not sure where you think the community has "nobody is up in arms about it at all". Most of the biggest complaints about Apple is their locked down approach to hardware/software integration. Yes, you are right, nobody is complaining specifically about apple not allowing android on iOs devices, mostly because the desire is not there based on the expense of the apple hardware compared to android based phones.

The desire from an MS perspective is that the hardware can be acquired significantly cheaper than other devices.

As a whole, you will find that the community is opposed to locks in general, whether defining it as OS level or application level (ios jailbreak). Overall the consumer prefers open platforms over closed.
