I absolutely did not see this one coming. I’m a fan of Two and a Half Men, but Kutcher never even crossed my mind as the replacement for Charlie Sheen. To be fair, they aren’t recasting Charlie Harper, rather they’re introducing a new character to be played by Kutcher. I was never a fan of anything he did, especially That […]

I finally managed to find some time to sit down and watch the first two episodes of Game of Thrones. As it has already been renewed for a second season, my hopes were pretty high. Full disclosure: I have never read any of George R. R. Martin’s books, upon which this series is based, so I have zero familiarity with […]

The wife and I just finished watching the two episode premier of Starz’s original series Camelot this past weekend and, before I accidentally read any other reviews or forget what I saw, I thought I would share my own thoughts. Before delving into my own opinion (which will NOT contain any spoilers!), here is what Starz has to say about their […]
Read morePerhaps it’s just me, but this came as a bit of a shock. Apparently, Netflix is looking to start distributing original content. Talk about going for the gold! “So, Hollywood, you want to keep me from content? I’ll just go ahead and make my own then!” The discussions for the series—a political drama called “House of Cards” based on a […]
Read moreAll the “cord-cutting” talk has gotten me interested in alternative sources for content and this new indie film site has piqued my interest, as well as that of ArsTechnica. I spent some time clicking through the site and came away generally pleased. Films can be watched in fullscreen mode and embedded in Web pages, similar to YouTube videos. One major […]
Read moreI’m sure this news is going to make a lot of Android owners very happy. Sonos has finally unveiled its Android app and, from the initial look, it would appear that it will meet expectations. Personally, this was a definite roadblock for my entry into the Sonos world (yes, I know about Andronos). After almost a year in development, the […]
Read moreThis is a pretty in-depth writeup on the state of internet TV, detailing what GoogleTV is currently having to deal with in its bid to enter the television market. In a nutshell, the cable companies are doing everything they possibly can to maintain their monopoly on TV distribution, much like the RIAA attempted to do. (Anyone remember how that turned […]
Read moreWhile there isn’t very much information just yet, Hauppauge looks to have remembered us HD-PVR users. This could very well be the followup to the HD-PVR we’ve all been waiting for. I, for one, would welcome an internal version and I would hope that they have worked out the all the kinks. I was also shocked to see […]
Read moreWith [url=http://www.missingremote.com/news/2010-11-23/windows-home-server-vail-drops-drive-extender-twitterverse-goes-mad]yesterday’s announcement[/url] that MS is killing off DE in the next version of WHS (Vail), I’m on a quest to find a replacement. What I’d like to get from everyone is what they would replace DE with. Obviously, the first option is RAID. Personally, I’d go with RAID6 for the added safety net. I have considered this many times […]
Read moreWhile there is no good news for Andy Whitfield at the moment, there have been some developments on the recasting of his role. Personally, the single season I spent watching Spartcacus truly created a connection for me with the character and the man behind him. I wish Andy nothing but the best. Once again, I have to say that these […]
