ESPN Adds Some Tech To Baseball

It is no secret that I really can’t stand baseball. In person I can handle it, mostly because of all the hotdogs and beer, but on TV I last only 10min before passing out or turning the channel. Well in hopes of dragging views deeper into the game ESPN has developed an impressive [...]

Greatest Movie Hacks

Greatest Movie Hacks

Here is a great write up about how hacking in movies is usually over the top.
It brings me great joy to see what Hollywood thinks they can get away with when it comes to computer hacking. Usually in the movie the hacker is using some beyond versatile software that allows him or her [...]

A Beaver Goes Down

Here is sadly a not so good pilot trying to takeoff. What I really want to comment on is the guy making the video. Talk about having same balls! I mean here is this plane coming at you, with a large blender on the front of it. Any closer and he [...]

Hulu A Step Closer

Hulu A Step Closer

I have wrote before about ditching DirecTV for internet TV. Mostly this was possible with software like Vuze. Which had you downloading torrents. We loved the option of adding Boxee to the mix, but then Hulu kicked them in the balls. So in attempt for you to forget about Boxee, Hulu [...]
