The LA Times has a good rundown of the shows that will/won’t be affected because of the Writers Guild Strike that is currently going on.
Looks like most of my shows are going to be or (like The Office) are already affected. Just as an aside, I’m for this strike with a caveat though. [...]

Check out the new Foo Fighters video. Much like “Learn to Fly” they decide to perform basically a skit, which is always good for a laugh.

CSI:Miami

Unless of course [...]

It’s alive!! The Series 3 lite (aka TiVo HD) has gone live this morning and being a diehard Series 3 lover I can only assume that this one will also rock your proverbial box.

The included remote controls the A:TV as well as any open remote enabled MacBook
It would be nice if there was a way to tell the A:TV to only stream/sync HD trailers. The older QuickTime trailers look like ass on my [...]
