I have to admit that this news actually brought a tear to my eye. No, not simply because there actually is going to be a second season. While I am very happy about that, what was very moving was the news that star Andy Whitfield, Sparatacus himself, has apparently triumphed outside of the gladiatorial arena in the biggest battle of […]
Read moreWhen I first heard about this, I was fairly skeptical, but the lack of good science fiction on TV lately drew me to this and I’m really glad it did. The pilot episode for Pioneer One is available to anyone and everyone for absolutely free, all via torrent distribution. I just finished watching the pilot and, especially for a $6000 […]
Read moreThis is interesting, but would be WAY more interesting if it wasn’t all blacked out! Knowing what we know now, this isn’t exactly earth shattering news…but nonetheless, it’s news! Instead Boxee decided to circumvent Hulu’s terms of sue restrictions by taking Hulu content and streaming it through Boxee’s interface (which disables significant, commercially important features of Hulu’s site to […]
Read moreThe World Cup is THE most watched sporting event in the world, and only comes around every 4 years. (Seriously, it destroys the numbers from the Super Bowl) Unfortunately since it’s in South Africa, the times of the games are all over the map. Here’s a handy list of online resources for you to um…..take breaks at work and watch […]
Read moreWe’ve been waiting for this for a long time. No word if Media Center’s Netflix plugin works with these, so if anyone would care to test and report, I’m sure many are wondering. A Netflix representative confirmed that Netflix is now streaming more than half of all HD titles to PCs and Macs in HD. To tell if […]

I’m one of the types that watches a show once, and then rarely again (Big Bang Theory the exception)…so this doesn’t phase me. Under the proposal, Hulu would continue to provide for free the five most recent episodes of shows like Fox’s "Glee," "ABC’s "Lost" […]

I had to take a moment to pick my jaw up off the floor after seeing these pictures. Maddie Chambers is a hardcore LOTR fan and she used her amazing talent over the course of a year to recreate Bag End in excrutiating detail. Looking at the huge array of photos she has online, her Hobbithouse (aka dollhouse) could easily […]
Read moreThis is quite an interview with the Blockbuster CEO. I think it’s great he absolutely doesn’t hide his disdain for Netflix. Enjoy. "You tell me: Do you want to watch The Blind Side or Herbie Goes to Cancun?" Keyes asked, referring to what some have called Netflix’s less-than-stellar on-demand offerings. "Our customer demand is 60% to 80% for new releases. […]

I think this is a great step in the right direction, although I’d be more excited if it was 5.1 support or more HD formats, but I suppose this was probably significantly easier. Not exactly sure why it was complicated to begin wtih given that there’s zero bandwidth demand and everything they store already had subtitles when it started…oh well. […]
Read moreTotally thought someone else would post this before I could. This report has been floating around the net today, lots of people assuming it means one thing or the other. I just think it’s a great sign in general. And not strictly bad news for MSOs, but hopefully will encourage them to continue looking for new ways to provide a […]
