Tech Brand Talk

I know we're in the heart of summer and we just passed the mid-July mark, but I'm excited for back-to-school. No, I'm not heading back to the books this September, but this past week I caught a glimpse at what's hot for back-to-school this year, and the gadgets that are coming to Future Shop are reason to get psyched.

I can't see anything in the spaces above, is the problem on my end?

OK... I got two computers.... one is Vista and the other is Win 7.... the Vista machine plays the video without problems..... I play the videos on my Win 7 machine and all I see is a purple screen.  Is this what you see Chris?

I tried taking the video URL's to look at YouTube externally..... same thing.

Ok disregard my earlier comment about Win7.... I was running a Blu-Ray movie in the background and it changed the colour scheme.  Once I finished the video, the YouTube videos went back to normal.

@Credible_Chris: Maybe it'll be easier to see of Future Shop's Youtube account directly. Here's the URL: http://www.youtube.com/user/futureshopca
