Today’s links of interest:
- What would happen if the cast of Battlestar Galactica crash landed on the Lost island???!!!
Dwight Schrute knows, and he has decided to share his knowledge on his blog. - First Look: The new ‘Buffy’ comic
Call it "Buffy Season Eight." Written by Joss Whedon. And least one person in the ‘Loper households (OK, Rox) who has recently turned to the comics for her Buffyverse fix can’t hardly wait. - The "Gilmore Girls" Are Dead – Long Live "Veronica Mars"
Tim Goodman’s take on The CWs presentation at the TV Critics Press Tour, AKA "The Death March With Cocktails." - Apple to announce iTunes movie rentals
If the rumors are true it looks like Jobs may have lost his negotiations with the studios. iTunes is supposed to be selling videos, not renting them. - Something precious is being squeezed out of the middle
You have the big head, the long tail, and now someone out there is seeking some love for the middle torso. - Microsoft hands copyright control over to publishers
Nothing new here except for the still-puzzling fact that Microsoft cannot yet accept digital versions of books. - N.Y. Times to reduce page size, close plant, cut 1,050 jobs
It’s always the workers who suffer… - Viacom To Buy The Onion?
Here’s hoping this rumor came from an Onion press release. - Wal-Mart Tries to Be MySpace
OK, so maybe this whole social networking thing really has jumped the shark.
Weirdly enough, there’s a reference to the Prism DuroSport in the comments section of Dwight’s post.
Weirdly enough, someone treated Rox’s addiction like it’s normal… we need to get her a new series. There’s only so far one girl can go.
What’s really weird is that the comment with the Prism DuroSport reference has disappeared from the comments section . . .
