FreeCast.com Latest Updates Empower Cord Cutting Revolution

New features provide realistic online alternatives to major cable and satellite services.

2012-06-05

ORLANDO, FL, June 05, 2012 (Press-News.org) The latest mass revolution of Internet users seeking low-cost alternatives to traditional cable, labeled 'cord cutters', are buzzing over the newest updates from free web channel guide FreeCast.com. The online TV authority is now giving fans an inside beta look into the newest features of their comprehensive guide, which are set to fully release later this week.

FreeCast.com launched earlier this year to much hype and quickly gained a massive following from Internet users looking for an easy way to watch their favorite TV shows online. After only a few months of research, customer feedback, and social innovations, FreeCast anticipates this new update will greatly enhance user experience.

First on FreeCast's long list of improvements is the inclusion of a universal login, allowing users to sign-in to the site with their preexisting social accounts, including Facebook, Twitter and Google, among others.

Additionally, FreeCast's impressive 5000+ channel selection has been enhanced with a new show interface that includes thousands of classic and current TV shows from the major television and cable networks, each with its own unique show page where users can find series info, free video links, social platforms and other show-related material. Combined with the site's new Show Search feature, users will now be able to search for any show from any era and instantly start watching full episodes. All for free.

With newly incorporated social elements, users will now be able to discuss shows as they watch, let friends know what they're watching, and even rate/review content. Additionally, site-wide gamification features will offer users real rewards for visiting the site, watching shows, and general interaction.

"We believe this will not only benefit home-based cord cutters, but also college students, military, and audiences abroad," says FreeCast CEO William Mobley.

Further high profile updates include 'LIVE Channel Selection', original web programming, an updated Facebook app and iPhone/Android compatible sites for TV Everywhere capability, on-demand box-office hits, and supplementary cord cutting products, all of which are designed to foster the growing community of cord cutters who are seeking to transition to a cable-free lifestyle.

Optex Redwall Sensors Stop Copper Thieves at Electrical Substations

2012-06-05

As copper prices continue to soar, electrical substations throughout the U.S. are targets of copper thieves. Many sites are robbed for just a few dollars of scrap copper, but are left in potentially dangerous conditions and thousands of dollars of damage repairs. Sec-Tron (sec-tron.com), a Cincinnati-based full-service security integrator, works on many electrical substations for a large, national energy company operating in this region. Sec-Tron's customer required the detectors to monitor larger areas and alarm a new central station to prompt live video surveillance. ...

Organic carbon from Mars, but not biological

2012-05-28

Washington, DC — Molecules containing large chains of carbon and hydrogen--the building blocks of all life on Earth--have been the targets of missions to Mars from Viking to the present day. While these molecules have previously been found in meteorites from Mars, scientists have disagreed about how this organic carbon was formed and whether or not it came from Mars. A new paper led by Carnegie's Andrew Steele provides strong evidence that this carbon did originate on Mars, although it is not biological. These findings give researchers insight into the chemical processes ...

VIDEO: Microglia (green) move to the site of injury (arrow) to clear up debris. Click here for more information. Like emergency workers rushing to a disaster scene, cells called microglia speed to places where the brain has been injured, to contain the damage by 'eating up' any cellular debris and dead or dying neurons. Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany, have now discovered exactly how microglia detect the site of injury, ...

Gene therapy can correct forms of severe combined immunodeficiency

2012-05-28

Severe combined immunodeficiency is defect in the immune system that results in a loss of the adaptive immune cells known as B cells and T cells. Mutations in several different genes can lead to the development of severe combined immunodeficiency, including mutation of the adenosine deaminase (ADA) gene. Traditional treatment options, such as enzyme replacement therapy, are of limited efficacy, but bone marrow transplant from a compatible donor leads to a better response. A recent clinical trial indicated that gene therapy to insert the correct ADA gene in the patient's ...

A new strategy for developing meningitis vaccines

2012-05-28

Bacterial meningitis is an infection of the meninges, the protective membrane that covers the spinal cord and brain. Children, elderly patients and immunocompromised patients are at a higher risk for the development of severe bacterial meningitis. Recently, researchers at the University of Adelaide in Australia sought to identify new vaccine targets in Streptococcus pneumoniae, which is the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in the world. Led by Dr. Abiodun Ogunniyi, the research team developed a new method of screening for bacterial genes that are expressed during ...

Marked for destruction: Newly developed compound triggers cancer cell death

2012-05-28

The BCL-2 protein family plays a large role in determining whether cancer cells survive in response to therapy or undergo a form of cell death known as apoptosis. Cells are pressured toward apoptosis by expression of pro-apoptotic BCL-2 proteins. However, cancer cells respond to therapy by increasing expression of anti-apoptotic proteins, which bind and neutralize pro-apoptotic family members and mediate therapeutic resistance. Therefore, development of therapeutic strategies to neutralize resistance to apoptosis will be critical to clinical improvements. A research group ...

A boost in microRNA may protect against sepsis and other inflammatory diseases

2012-05-28

BOSTON, MA—Acute inflammatory diseases, such as sepsis, as well as chronic inflammatory diseases like diabetes and arthritis, develop as a result of sustained inflammation of the blood vessel wall. Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) have discovered that a microRNA (small, non-coding RNA molecule) called miR-181b can reduce the inflammatory response that is responsible for such diseases. The findings, by researchers led by Mark Feinberg, MD from BWH and Harvard Medical School, will pave the way for new targets in the development of anti-inflammatory therapies. ...

Nuisance seaweed found to produce compounds with biomedical potential

2012-05-28

A seaweed considered a threat to the healthy growth of coral reefs in Hawaii may possess the ability to produce substances that could one day treat human diseases, a new study led by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego has revealed. An analysis led by Hyukjae Choi, a postdoctoral researcher in William Gerwick's laboratory at Scripps, has shown that the seaweed, a tiny photosynthetic organism known as a "cyanobacterium," produces chemical compounds that exhibit promise as anti-inflammatory agents and in combatting bacterial infections. The ...
