    The Bills at Jaguars game essentially became a good substitute for a sleeping pill.

    Charcoal or Gas Grill?

    Not if it's a gas-fired infrared grill. Infrared grills have a flame temperature of 700+ °F., and unlike charcoal grills generally don't suffer from the "hot spot" problem that plagues charcoal grills at times. In fact, steakhouse restaurants often use infrared grills because they can cook...

    4"+ smartphones -- the market has spoken (and it says yes)

    I myself have been using a Samsung Galaxy S III (T-Mobile) for two months and totally love it, especially since I upgraded to Android 4.1.1 ("Jelly Bean"). I've been getting up to 15 megabits/second download speeds, way more than enough for the mobile-phone optimized web sites out there and I...

    The latest on Conan, Leno and NBC

    That's why between this debacle and NBC Sports President Dick Ebersol admitting NBC may lose US$200 million over the Winter Olympics coverage, we may be seeing the end of Zucker as NBC Universal President very soon. Yes, Zucker may have survived programming debacles in the past, but in the...

    The latest on Conan, Leno and NBC

    But with the bad economy currently, the head honchos at GE may not be so forgiving this time around. With the Leno-O'Brien fiasco and the potential looming fiasco over the finances of the Winter Olympics coverage, this may give the excuse for GE management (and possibly Comcast management!) to...

    The latest on Conan, Leno and NBC

    This debacle will likely cost Jeff Zucker his job at NBC Universal. And this on top of the persistent rumors that NBC may end up losing a huge amount of money over the upcoming Winter Olympics in Vancouver, BC. Meanwhile, CBS' decision to keep as many of their scripted dramas as possible on...

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    Kaleido Star Complete Collection 10-disc set (51 TV episodes plus one OAV episode) If you're an anime fan I highly recommend this series, probably one of the best TV anime series in the last ten years. It helps that the series director (Junichi Sato) is a highly-regarded anime director who did...

    2009 MLB Thread

    Remember all the complaints from last week about the new Yankees Stadium being an "bandbox" for lots of home runs? After the Yankees pitching got shelled by those Red Sox hitters in the last two games, maybe it's the Yankees' pitching that is the problem right now.

    Panasonic TH46PZ85U plasma initial thoughts and why I chose it over LCD

    Ronald, Since the time you had a chance to get that Panasonic plasma display, I had a chance to see Samsung's new UN55B7000 LED-backlit LCD panel. All I can say is that the UN55B7000's picture quality was nothing short of astonishing, to say the least. :eek: It's the first time I've seen...

    CD Quick Review: U2's No Line on the Horizon - Highly Recommended

    I'm listening to the album (I got it via the Amazon MP3 Download store) and it does sound quite good, especially on the new Sony MDR-EX90LP in-ear headphones I use with my 3G iPod nano.

    Samsung Done With DLP Starting in 2009?

    Actually, I think the next frontier for home video will be projectors, since that's the easiest way to go to beyond 70" (diagonal) viewing sizes. Don't be surprised that we see Samsung start pushing 1080p DLP front projectors with high-intensity LED light source that would project a bright, high...

    NFL 2008 Regular Season Discussion Thread

    That's because they ran into the hot Ravens team with perhaps the best defense in the NFL.
