Bram Cohen on screensavers 9/14/04

Didn't really know where to stick this, as i have no idea about what he's doing at valve.

Just read on neowin.net that he will be shown on the screensavers tomorrow(9/14/04)

Visit www.thescreensavers.com for more info

Some portions of the show can also be shown there. If not i would like to hear from someone who did see it.

Thanks ytinupmi

The Screen Savers open up their backpacks to reveal the coolest geek gear you can buy: laptops, PDA's, cellphone, wireless adapters, road tools, wifi sniffers, etc. We also talk with Bram Cohen, creator of the massively popular decentralized file-sharing software, BitTorrent. Sarah gives us five privacy tips, and Kevin and Dan file another report from Defcon 12.

hes the guy who created bitTorrent heh. Wonder if he will talk about steam distrobution

 

[Biozeminade]

BitTorrent? Yeh, I remember the first day of the Half-Life 2 leak, there were like 11,000 sources for the download.

He's a cool guy, I sent a donation.

 

[Adidajs]

bitTorrent. wondrously wonderful.

 

[jimbones]

and he works for valve now..

 

[Stamp]

is that true? wow, he sure landed a good job.

 

[ytinupmi]

yes, valve hired him and i believe they're going to be implementing a bittorrent like network for distribution of their files and stuff.

 

[Petabyte]

Wait. If its on the screensavers, thats in like a few mintues for me. Let me check.
oh just Bittorrent. :|

 

[FISKER_Q]

So nothing interresting?

 

[Ownzed]

So is this anything important?

 

[ytinupmi]

i'm downloading the episode of the screensavers currently, i'll reply after i watch it and let you know if theres anything mentioned by bram about valve.

 

[ytinupmi]

there was no mention of valve or anything, it was basically bram explaining how bittorrent works.

thats screensavers for ya =/

 

[FISKER_Q]

They needed a developer just to explain how it works? So he was there for like what? 2 minutes?

Should've know for those episodes i have seen. Pretty much just MS "bashing" going on. While anything else gets "Here's how to fix it".

 

[jimbones]

hm. I don't consider my screen saved by that..
