It appears that Netflix will delay renting new releases from Warner Brothers for 28 days. It will only be a matter of time that the other studios will join in. Luckily I am so far behind in my movie watching that I will probably never catch up anyways.

Looks like some people find the Bible to Liberal. They would like to rewrite, pardon translate it, to reflect the truer and more correct conservatism message that it really stands for. By definition Jesus was a liberal changing the orthodox beliefs for many. If the conservatives changes the bible to make it more conservative, doesn't that make them liberal?Link to Original Source

Ubuntu's founder Mark Shuttleworth praises the new Windows 7. He is looking for a good fight with the new windows especially in the laptop market. My experience with Windows 7 that it is better than Windows Vista, but pretty much every other OS is too.

After two weeks of WTF interruptions to my normal commercials, Microsoft pulled the plug on the Seinfeld campaign. It cost the giant $300 million and I personally think the agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky truly did not help them.
My question is what took them so long?

Looks like the new Windows Server 2008 website is up. But, it seems to link over to the new Apple Air. Check it out at www.WindowsServer2008.com. You think Microsoft would have had that domain.

With all the talk of Apple's multitouch, what is the next step? Microsoft and Mitsubishi Research have a prototype of Lucid a multitouch that interacts from the back of the screen. While still early and a little bulky, it does have potential. Could this interface be the next 'big' thing for handhelds?

According to a study conducted by VG Chartz the Wii is the fastest selling console ever. Since it's rlease it has been out selling Xbox360 2 to 1. It is now the next gen console champ with worldwide sales of 10.6 million, compared to 10.5 million xbox 360s. Sony has a pitiful 4.3 million sold. While the Xbox and PS3 try to be a media center being able to play DVDs and Bluerays the Wii focuses on being a gaming platform for the masses.

France Government officials are no longer allowed to use BlackBerries fearing that the US can snoop government secrets. Are these risks real or just unfounded. What will they ban next, cell phones, computers or talking. Maybe they like most of slashdot they are waiting for the new iPhone and just needed an excuse to find a way to pay for them.

I reported earlier that the next windows OS is due in 2 years. It looks like Microsoft Office is on the same timeline. Microsoft is skipping over Office 13 because of the stigma with the number 13 and moving on to Office 14. There looks to be a lot of changes for 'enterprise use' but it is still in the early plnning phase. They are planning on spend around $930 million A YEAR for development. With spending like that it should be something.

The CEO of Cartoon Network has resigned over the bomb scare. Turner ended up paying over 2 million in restitution and the city of Boston coming to a stand still over some lite brites. I for one do not want to live in a glass box being scared of everything, and with governments over reacting just fuels the fear. Are we becoming scared of our own shadow?
