TV - looking forward and back 09:05am on 18 Sep 2008 I don't think the average television viewer is demanding ever higher definition of sound and picture. I think the main demand is better quality programming.

It's all very well having 100 channels of super high definition, 22.2 surround sound television, but if there's nothing to watch it's a waste of time.
Caption Competition 10:05am on 12 Sep 2008 Typical, thought Brian, you wait all day for a psychopathic dwarf puppet and four come along at once.
'Events dear boy, events!' 09:09am on 02 Sep 2008 Once must call into question Sarah Palin's judgement, at least as far as selecting a name for her daughter - Bristol Palin ? It sounds like a railway station.
Will London welcome the world? 09:15am on 14 Aug 2008 English is fast becoming the global standard second language - meaning there is no obvious choice for native English speakers. That said, a walk through the West End of London reveals English as a minority language so I don't think anyone coming for the 2012 games will have trouble finding someone to talk to.

Once they've stopped laughing at the logo anyway. That is going to be changed before the games isn't it ?
Saving TV advertising the TiVo way 2:19pm on 23 Jul 2008 Early in the days of the Internet, advertising were surprised that the process "clicking through", i.e. clicking on adverts we found on websites, was very much less popular than they hoped. Advertisers had to develop all sorts of ingenious ways to get to us, while we install ever more resiliant pop-up blockers, etc. In short, most people don't like adverts, or at least the feeling they're being pressured into buying something, so I don't see this new "click to buy" tool being that successful. Though it may have a future on MTV.

Personally I'm greatly amused by the latest campaign for a Tivo-like system in the UK, featuring a number of "celebrities" extoling the virtues of the machine. None of them mentions its most popular function, that of being able to skip the commercials.
Caption Competition 09:39am on 04 Jul 2008 In a moment never before photographed, a new Daily Mail reader begins to emerge from their crysalis.
