What Is This? [Video]

A futuristic tiki torch? Aluminum crutches? Or maybe a space-age bow and arrow? It's much more creative than just that. More »

BridgeURL lets you send a tour of several websites in one link

Sometimes you may want to send someone a whole list of websites to look at. Maybe you even want them to look at the sites in a given sequence, like when you're sharing the results of a search for a new car or a vacation spot.

BridgeURL is a fairly elegant service that accepts a list of links, and spits out a single bit.ly link. When you click this link, you're taken to the first website on the list, but it has subtle semi-transparent overlays on both sides. The left one leads to the previous site on the chain, while the right leads to the next site. (They're not semi-transparent on the screenshot because when you hover over them, they turn solid.)

There's also a bottom bar, but it's fairly unobtrusive. There were no banners or pop-ups as far as I was able to see. The only annoyance with the service is that for some odd reason, it forces you to feed it URLs starting with http:// or https:// - meaning, you can't write "downloadsquad.com" or even "www.downloadsquad.com". I have no idea why it's not smart enough to figure out the http:// on its own. Other than that, it's a fairly handy service.

Netflix launches $7.99 streaming-only plan, increases price of DVD plan

After a trial back in October, Netflix has now announced its $7.99/month streaming-only plan. This matches the Hulu Plus price drop from last week. Of course, both services have different libraries of TV shows and movies -- and Hulu Plus still has ads!

The new plan is targeted squarely at the growing army of those that find physical media a thing of the past. Still, a difference of just $2 is a small price to pay for the option of unlimited DVDs.

In other news, Netflix has increased the price of its DVD-loaning plans, presumably to cover the growth of its streaming service. One-DVD-at-a-time now costs a dollar more ($9.99), with larger plans increasing by a similar percentage.

The only-two-DVDs-a-month plan price remains unchanged.

Jailbreak Hack Enables AirPlay In All iOS Apps [Airplay]

AirPlay is awesome but it could be more awesome if it worked with more iOS apps. TUAW recently discovered that a feature that allowed other apps to use AirPlay was disabled by Apple. But! If you insert one single line of code, AirPlay would work across all apps (like VLC and Safari). A developer named Zone-MR took TUAW's lead and developed AirVideoEnabler, a hack that's available for download in Cydia (the Jailbreak app store) and brings AirPlay to the awesomeness we all hoped it would be.

Sites With Government Seized Domains Are Moving On, On Twitter

Last week while everyone was waiting for the COICA bill to move through Congress, the US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency one upped the Attorney General and seized domain names from a group of over 70 copyright infringing websites. A visit to the blacklisted domains now results in this ominous looking message from Homeland Security.
