Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog
“Aided only by everyone I had worked with, was related to or had ever met, I single-handedly created this unique little epic. A supervillain musical, of which, as we all know, there are far too few. The idea was to make it on the fly, on the cheap – but to make it. To turn […]

Tell Me A Story… And It Better Be A Good One.
h/t to Slashdot for this… Apparently, there’re plans afoot to blend a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) with a weekly TV show on the Sci-Fi Network in the US. Most of the reaction in the blogosphere have pointed towards this being ill-advised. I agree, but perhaps for different reasons than “It’s gonna suck.” […]

Conventional wisdom pits the cable companies (or MSOs – Multiple Service Operators – as they’re known in the trade) against the likes of Apple, Microsoft and Sony as the next-generation delivery providers for entertainment content. Time Warner broke that mold this week with the announcement of their own IPTV strategy: One that unites PC-bound content […]
The Revolution Will Be Home-Brewed.

P2P – IPTV Killer App?
According to Slashdot, the guys over at Cornell have devised something REALLY interesting. It’s a plug-in for a bit torrent client called Azureus that “Listens” to the torrents you’re on and the responds to search queries, and is decentralized, read: immune from the traditional legal actions on companys like The Pirate Bay and Oink.

Netflix to Sell a Device for Instantly Watching Movies on TV Sets – New York Times
IPTV’s slow march takes another step, and then yawns… Given that the blog title tells the whole story, I’m not sure that this is really ‘news.’ The one bit of interest here? Long tail darling Netflix is fighting back against Apple & Amazon, to be sure. But… can they beat Blockbuster/Circuit City? We’re years away […]
Flashing The Flash: Adobe Opens Up
h/t to Slashdot on this one: Adobe has opened up their proprietary Flash formats – SWF & FLV to the developer community, removed licensing restrictions for the playback, and is making the mobile player available for free. They are doing to Macromedia’s flagship product (since having acquired it 3 short years ago) what they were […]
