DirecTV to add 1500 HD channels
According to Gizmodo, DirecTV is planning to launch new satellites in order to add 1,500 HD channels by 2007. Two satellites are launching next year and two more in 2007. No, this doesn't mean I'll have to turn to channel 1244 to watch ESPN6 HD. What it means is that they're actually going to be able to broadcast local channels in HD in whatever market you're in. Cable's ability to give you the local... Continue reading

Bush memos a forgery?
The memos reported by CBS's 60 Minutes claiming President Bush ignored a direct order from a superior officer and lost his status as a Guard pilot now appear to have been crude forgeries. Read this post from PowerLine that started all the questioning yesterday morning. Lots of interesting updates there including this one. And read CBS's response. And here is ABC's report where Killian's own family disputes the documents veracity and says, "We don't know... Continue reading

More stock footage? Samsung joins Dell and Gateway
The two ads above were pointed out way back in July by Engadget. Apparently Dell and Gateway used the same stock footage for their back-to-school campaigns. Same girl, same stupid hat and necklace, same everything. Well just now I noticed on ESPN.com that Samsung must've been feeling a little left out, so they decided to use the same exact girl/photo in a small Flash ad for digital cameras. That's some nice work by the... Continue reading

FSU discovers iTunes
In an effort to prevent illegal file sharing on campus, Florida State University is on the verge of finalizing a deal with Apple Computer, Inc. -- a deal that would provide free iTunes software to students and allow them to download music for 99 cents per song.

Nerds against Bush
Apparently web developers do leave the house once in a while, as evidenced by this shot of someone protesting Bush with HTML code.
