While you were waiting for the TSA to finally ban people from boarding airplanes, here is what we were up to:
- 6 Books You Should Read Right Now If You Wanna Get Some Insight Into This Whole “New Media” Thingy – Must reads if you want to understand the thinking behind some of the rants and raves here at Medialoper.
- Out Of Touch With The Real World: Modern Media Critics – Snobbish, pasty white men are telling us what to watch and what to read but who’s listening? Well deserved criticism for the critics.
- Was Google GTunes A Victim of Zune? – It looks like Microsoft may win this battle in their ongoing war with Google.
- How Zune Could Actually Be an iPod Killer – Jim’s dream mp3 player isn’t the iPod and it probably won’t be Zune.
- When Computers Marry Televisions – Unfortunately, my dream of a living room with just one “box” that does it all (as opposed to the six we have currently) is still a long way off.
- Why Kids Don’t Watch Movies On Cellphones – Turns out, having their parents nag them about cellphone charges is at the top of the list.
- Sopranos HD-DVD: Whack Job – Tony and his gang try to take out Blu-Ray but the price may be too high and could cause HD-DVD to go down, as well.
- That’s What I Like: Slings & Arrows Season One DVD – Oh and let’s not forget, it stars Paul Gross.
