Using the Newscast as the standard is fine in peacetime. Advertisers are gonna love war-time volume skewing though.
I guess we should just be happy they didn't choose Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" show as the standard.

My Series III TiVo (I'd assume the Premiere, too) regularly aborts playback and jumps to live programming whenever this area gets a EBS (e.g. Tornado Warning) message from Time-Warner cable. The first interruption was freaky (and irritating), but now I really rather appreciate it, since I rarely ever watch live programming.

trawg writes "Sony have officially announced a new line of "Sony tablets". There are two models, both offering 3G/4G and WiFi running Android 3.0 — one is a typical tablet with a 9.4 inch screen and the other is an "unprecedented dual screen" type. Digital content is a big focus: music, books and first generation PlayStation titles will all be available (subject to the usual region restrictions for content)."

Obviously, Microsoft issuing an update that would allow uninstalling IE6 from every platform where it lurks is unthinkable.

First and foremost, we need more practice -- uhh, research.

Get ready for the high-tech beach->

coondoggie writes "Ocean City, New Jersey is a nice, family-oriented beach that will apparently soon be the high-tech model for seashore lovers and now perhaps geeks everywhere. The city has on its plate a $3 million myriad public services and Internet access using radio-frequency identification chips (RFID) and Wi-Fi wireless technology. A wireless network will let Ocean City expand economic development and control the cost of local services. Wireless allows the City to save on cell phone usage, T-1 lines, and it adds efficiency. The city is looking to replace its ubiquitous but mostly annoying beach tags — which indicate you paid to get on the beach $5 per day, $10 for a week, or $20 for the whole summer — with wristbands that contain an RFID chip. Yet another cool feature of the high-tech beach will be the ability to track beachgoers — an application that is being touted by parents.

Apparently the issue is that government employees can leak confidential data over Limewire. Apparently the government can't afford things like firewalls."
