My sister just got a new laptop (Apple Macbook) with all the fixings. So tonight she and I were playing around with Apple's iChat, doing video conferencing. I've had this working with my parents before, so we decided to try a new feature. While video chatting with my sister (I'm in Utah, she's in Boston) I added my dad in Rhode Island into the chat. So with no muss or fuss, we were doing a 3-way video conference. Too cool!

Definitely shrinks the distances quite nicely. Every now and then this new technology stuff actually delivers what it promises. :smile:
 
Ever see th' movie "The President's Analyst" Drew?


It (this new technology stuff) may be "delivering" more than you imagine... :devilgrin:
 
I had a similar (not live, like yours) event last week.
A friend of mine was at a soccer game in England, and he emailed me video from his cell phone.
I uploaded them to Facebook so my brother in Afghanistan could see them.
There was about a 5 minute delay, but yes, it shrinks the distances and put smiles on all faces. Now, if only I could get my mum to use email......
Those Macbooks look like fun.
 
Not seen that one, Doc, though it does look interesting. Coburn's always good for a show.

Now as to the (possibly) nefarious other possibilities...
 
If I cared about such things I'd have that movie's "ringtone" on my cell phone... :smirk:
