Tech Conclave is a news style technology show founded and created by John Raul Joven II from the Philippines, but features news correspondents from around the globe. It's known as the Global Geek News Patrol.
John Raul is the News Anchor and also does all of the editing and production for the show but individual tech news stories are presented by geeks from all over the world, mainly the US and the UK.
The show is very well produced and has the production value as any of the mainstream news shows (Sky News, Fox News) but is aimed at tech related news particularly. Each episode is hosted on YouTube in 720p HD format and is about 10 minutes long (due to YouTube's time restraints) and covers between 5 and 10 of the latest technology news stories. A new episode is released weekly but due to the large amount of work in production it can sometimes be a larger gap between episodes.
More minor tech news can be read throughout the episodes scrolling along the bottom.
The great thing about Tech Conclave is that any body can be a correspondent. They just have to contact Tech Conclave to get a story.
I think the show is produced very well and is very informative and entertaining and deserves more of an audience than it has now. I very much reccommend you subscribe to Tech Conclave on YouTube and register on their website. You could even help out and be a correspondent, donate or even just favourite the videos on YouTube and remember the show's catchphrase, "It's good to be a geek"
Here is the latest episode of Tech Conclave in HD so let it buffer (or un-click the HD button) covering Firefox 3.5, Steve Jobs liver transplant, The new HTC Hero and much more.

Tech Coclave do not currently have the equiptment to create the show in an efficient way. The computer used to edit and render the show is not made for HD video rendering and editing and they desperately require a more powerful system. Here is there fundraising widget so if can, chip in.
Julia Nunes the amazing Ukulele artist from YouTube has just posted her cover of Don't Trust Me by 3OH!3 and puts a Uke twist on it along with some beats from a water bottle.
You may have connected your PC to your TV before and browsed the web and even watched YouTube, but now YouTube have actually created a version of their site that suits TV viewing better. Just like they have a mobile version for viewing YouTube on mobile phones they now have a TV version for viewing YouTube videos on your big 42" TV set in your living room. So if you have a few friends over there's no need to all gather around your PC monitor to enjoy all of YouTube finest content.
All you have to do is connect your PC to your TV or open up your Playstation 3's web browser and head to http://youtube.com/xl and you will be greeted with a TV friendly version of the website. No ads (surprisingly), no comments, no clutter just videos tabs for top rated, popular etc, and a handy search box. Enjoy and check out my video on the new service below.
This post is for my latest YouTube video on TechTubeToday. The video will show you how to convert or encode any video so that YouTube thinks it's HD. This will mean it play in the large HD box if your viewers hit the HD button on the player. You can do this with any video. Even a horrible grainy mobile phone video. You can make that "HD". It will only loo as good as the original video but will play in the Bigger HD box.
I rarely use Internet Explorer as I find it extremely slow and lacking of the security, speed and features found in Open Source browsers such as Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
