USA Today's tech-guy Edward C. Baig took a look at Joost, a website where people can watch television with other fans. Think of it as an expansion of what G4's TNG 2.0 is all about just without the middleman - a television.

Joost lets you watch various full-length television shows free on a computer. The difference - you watch with other people. You get to build a community around the show, chatting and sending instant messages while watching your favorite full-length episodes. At the moment, the site lacks any live programming so users will have to deal with a limited library of old shows: from black-and-white Lassie to Comedy Central's Stella. Some time this summer CBS Corp (NYSE: CBS) is promising episodes of its CSI franchise and Survivor.

iTunes rounded out its network television offerings today by adding primetime CBS shows including all three CSI franchises, NCIS, Numb3rs and Survivor. The shows will be $1.99 each, just like shows from NBC, USA, Showtime, ABC, and (all importantly) Comedy Central's The Daily Show.

Investors seemed just as pleased as customers (the ones who will now be able to watch a bullet ripping through some poor sap's body over and over and over on their iPod's tiny screen). AAPL rode the tech sector up $2.195, or nearly 4%, to $60.76.

With this addition, iTunes carries virtually every popular primetime TV show, all for $1.99 each, and making the company the vendor of choice for watching television on the (very) small screen. The question: do customers want to download their TV, or record it on their DVRs for fullsize viewage? I'd much rather buy my shows one-by-one than navigate the complexities and scheduling required to remember to record them. How 'bout you?

ge chart 06-08-2006GE closed at $34.55, up 15 cents. Not exactly a major push, but it's nice to see things moving up for GE when its been pumping out a slew of positive reports. Today's news includes a major step forward in biotechnology for GE Healthcare is now better able to automatically harvest cord blood, which allows stem cells to be harvested.

The interesting news for GE today came from the normally moribund NBC division which is going to release Jay Leno's Tonight Show on iTunes in addition to the other NBC shows recently added to the online store. I don't imagine this will turn into a major cash cow, but CSI is certainly a very popular show all around. Finding other ways to gain money for existing properties is smart, and it is encouraging that more shows are coming out this way.
