TechCrunch 50, what the Huffington Post is calling the ‘Sundance of Startups’, is taking place in San Francisco.  The event showcases 50 startups, fighting for attention from VCs, journalists, and business partners at the event.  TechCrunch is live-streaming the entire event via uStream along with behind-the-scenes interviews with presenters like Penn (from Penn & Teller) and Google’s Marissa Mayer.

For those who’d rather surf through the event’s footage with a remote,  Boxee App guru Rob Spectre has put together a clean application to give you access to the conference’s online video content.  Watch the action happening right now using the “watch live” feature or choose from behind the scenes videos with Mike Arrington and some of the presenters / attendees at the show.

Here’s a peek at what it looks like.

Best of luck to all the startups presenting there, and thanks to Rob for another good app.

We’re happy to announce our first fully customized Boxee App for children’s entertainment: Kid Mango.

The KidMango library brings together popular children’s shows from some of the world’s best producers of animation and live action and includes over a thousand videos covering everything from Einstein to aliens, vampires to Leonardo da Vinci.  The App mimics www.kidmango.com where shows are organized by age group so that parents of preschoolers, older kids and tweens can all quickly find the content that is most appropriate to them. While the youngest children might need help from their parents in playing shows, older kids will have no problem loading up their favorite shows.

The Kid Mango App on Boxee makes it easy for parents to find great, free entertainment for their kids.
Here’s a peek at the App, which is available now in the Boxee App Box:

The KidMango Boxee app was written by Rob Spectre, a Boxee App specialist. You can check-out the breadth of Rob’s work at www.gonzee.tv.
