I hate to say it…

but I told you so…

Sites like SurfTheChannel, Watch-Movies and Tv-Links and many Many MANY like them have been around and sprung up since a couple of years now. Then there’s NBC, FOX and (surely CBS offers this too) that stream their shows on their website via an on-demand service.Though highly annoying as it is for US surfers only, so you cannot access it unless you visit them via a proxy.

. All thanks to Flash video, as I am sure Macromedia (ahem, Adobe) would want you to believe. Putting the origins aside. Having settled their dispute with Viacom, YouTube (ahem Google) now signed a deal with MGM. Youtube will show full-length films from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s archives…

So who will the other portals follow with now? Surely Turner and Murdoch have some deals up theirs (he he – now I don’t), I mean their sleeves as well…

watch this story closely as it develops…

Be careful where you sit

There is news…and then there’s news….
Some poor sod had his bum glued to a metal toilet seat. And he had to be saved by blue-lights and all. I am sure that some new CCTV cams will be placed as a result of this story…it goes to confirm that public toilets are not to be trusted.There is stories of war, of hunger, global economic roller-coaster rides…and there’s this. thank you BBC.

But then maybe this movie ‘Taxi to the dark side’, which funnily I heard on the BBC World just a few days before, AnOther American Crime…
