Free online interviews with legendary Hollywood stars and moguls

[Bob Russell]

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has joined with Google to present a online archive of in-depth interviews of Hollywood celebrities like Dick Van Dyke. You simply click on the Google "G" next to an interview you are interested in. The archive is growing, but not all interviews are available via Google yet.

As more and more content becomes available online, and it becomes easy to convert existing content you own into mobile-friendly form, one has to wonder how long it will be before almost all content is mobile. Pretty much all audio, video, books are ready for mobile reading, mobile watching, mobile listening. Who knows, maybe even mobile touching and mobile smelling one of these days also!

But here's the problem: This content is ONLY online. I can't save it to my PC to watch later. I can't move it to my Archos AV700 to watch. I can ONLY look at it if I have an active broadband connection that doesn't filter Flash content.

Once again, this is a cool idea, but has too many restrictive drawbacks to be of any use.

Not to mention that Google's flash player shoots up my CPU usage by 20%.
