Authorized videos on YouTube are made available after three hours after the event and it is only available for the United States internet user. Non US citizen can still access the site using a proxy, but the three hours delay is a put off.

P2P Streaming is big in China, in the land of pirates where law and order in the world of internet does not exist, P2P has taken a new life by itself and evolve way much faster than the European and America counterpart due to strict internet laws.

Evolution of the Olympic Torches

August 4, 2008 · Filed Under Sports · Comment 

Olympic fever is here again, the New York Times has a neat collection of Olympic torches from 1936 to the Beijing Olympic 2008 torch.



The modern Olympic Games have become as much a global contest among designers and architects as among athletes. Each Olympics is expected to produce a logo, a signature building — and a characteristic torch that symbolizes local tradition and national character. Below, a design history of the Olympic torch from 1936 to the present day.

I have to admit that the Sydney Olympic 2000 torch is my favorite. Minimalist, simple and meaningful.

Watch Beijing Olympic 2008 Opening Ceremony Online Free

Is it possible to watch the Beijing Olympic 2008 online? The answer is Yes and No, depending on the location you are streaming from. TVTonic is partnering with NBC Olympics to bring the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games to Windows Media Center. Yes, it is possible to watch online (am not too sure if it is stream live from Beijing) and the only catch is it’s only available for US user only.

  • Download & watch full length Olympic events
  • watch while “on the go” and off-line
  • hours of video covering over 20 Olympic sports
  • subscribe to your favorite events for automatic delivery to your PC

NBC is further expanding its coverage of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games with an Internet-delivered catch-up TV service powered by TVTonic on Windows Media Center on PCs running Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate! With NBC Olympics On The Go and Windows Media Center, you will be able to create a customized channel lineup of your favorite events for automatic download to your PC. Download NBC coverage of the Games overnight, and take them with you to watch online or offline in up to HD quality.

My only concern is, why only stream it to US citizens? and to limit the streaming to Vista users is a no brainer, and why YouTube did not take any concrete steps to stream the games from Beijing?

My advise is, try other alternative websites such as Ustream.tv or MLB.tv, fear not, P2P technology will prevails.

YouTube has just announce the availability of video from the olympic games this summer, the only catch is it is only made available for certain countries, do check it out - YouTube Beijing Olympic 2008.

Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch

April 27, 2007 · Filed Under Uncategorized · Comment 

lenovo beijing lenovo stadium torch

Lenovo was awarded the task to design the Beijing 2008 Olympic torch, it is called the “Cloud of Promise”. Inspired by the shape of a traditional Chinese scroll, the imagery of the ‘Cloud of Promise’ represents the traditions of China, while the shape, texture and technology evoke the Olympic spirit, but the design seems a little Japanese to me, especially the tsunami wave part.
