No comments on Time wastingTouch TV moves closer – is any further information required to conclude that MIT Media Lab Dublin is a time and money wasting operation of the highest calibre?

Rubbish filter
Sci-Fi channel’s new lineup of shows – does Sci-Fi lack a rubbish filter, or perhaps any sense of judgement? From the looks of their new shows, the answer seems to be yes; with the exception of a few, they all sound terrible (and they’re all fantasy, not SF). I mean, ‘Dead Lawyers – lawyers that…

The Murder Game
The BBC Digital are airing a new eight-part series this Saturday called The Murder Game. In it, ten contestants try to solve a murder investigation in the fictional village of Blackwater. It seems that the level of interactivity with the public (mostly online) will be pretty low, considering that we aren’t eligible for the £25,000…

Groening sounds off
Matt Groening sounds off – he isn’t very happy at all about Fox’s treatment of Futurama, which was cancelled a while back. “We won the Emmy for best animated show a few months ago and I didn’t even get a begrudging phone call from anyone at Fox. That’s a dark company that they can’t even…

24 Episode 3
Some brief thoughts: Today’s episode on BBC3 was an improvement over the last two – in short, far less Kim and far more Jack. Much more dramatic tension, although I am a bit puzzled about why they haven’t included more subplots. This stuff about the groom being a terrorist doesn’t count, it doesn’t seem to…

They’re back
The Borg To Appear On ‘Enterprise’ – a lot of fans have been wailing and gibbering about this development, but I’m actually quite optimistic. Enterprise has seen quite a lot of average and below-average episodes so far, but I’ve also seen some pretty decent episodes as well, and they’re only halfway through the second season.…

Jack’s Back
BBC started showing the second season of 24 on Sunday. Here are my thoughts on the first two episodes (I watch the first at a friend’s room, and then we sprinted across to the college TV room to catch the next on BBC 3): Kim is just as irritating as she always has been, and…

Digital TV
An interesting quotation from this week’s New Scientist confirms what I’ve suspected* for a while: The latest 42 inch widescreen flat plasma panel screens cost around $7000, not counting a $250 wall mount and the digital tuner needed to receive broadcasts. Yet customers appear unconvinced of their quality. It turns out you cannot see the…

What’s on TV?
There’s an interesting discussion taking place at Metafilter (say it ain’t so!) about an article written by a mother who doesn’t allow her daughters to watch television. Most posters are in agreement that it’s absurd to ban a medium of information just because there happens to be some tripe on TV. You might as well…

More on Buffy
On Buffy: As has been pointed out by others, everything boils down to whether it can be demonstrated that an AI-type Buffy game would be commercially viable. My opinion is that it has not been demonstrated. No games have generated a large enough audience to be commercially viable – not even the AI game (although…
