So I just finished watching the pilot episode of Glee. It is a terribly hokey show in the finest traditions of 80’s underdog movies — the only thing it didn’t have is a training montage, and I’m SURE that’s coming. But it had everything else:

I’m not that big a fan of American Idol this season, having been completely addicted to it last year. Part [...]

If you go to that article, you’ll see comcast was nice enough to reply. And I ain’t buying it.

Your Comcast DVR Is Watching You – Literally – dslreports.com
Comcast senior VP of user experience Gerard Kunkel tells New Tee Vee Comcast is experimenting with embedding cameras in your DVR or cable box, allowing the company to know exactly who is watching what, at what time. In theory this would allow them to [...]
Am I the only one who sees the contextual differences between the three statements below?That aside, the fleeting expletive policy is just insane. What if Bono had gotten up there, tripped and banged his head and said ‘FUCK!’, which would be a pretty understandable thing to say? The fact is that if hearing [...]
