Family Guy

Sticking with The Big Bang Theory on Thursday nights.

During the week I'm catching the old shows on Antenna TV/MeTV:
Adam 12
Dragnet
Emergency
and sometimes Kojak and The Night Gallery on late at night.

Black Mirror

I've been meaning to re-watch this for a while. Well worth the wait. Three episodes, three satires about aspects of modern technology.

They're great as a series, but the second episode, 15 Million Merits (set in an Xbox + X-factor + Brave New World sort of future), is a particularly fine hour television.

I preferred the 1st and 3rd instalments, but they're all worth a watch. Ep 3 is perhaps the most thought provoking.

1st was brilliant... 3rd? I felt that was a bit of a missed opportunity.

In what way, it was a drawn out plot but the implications were brilliant.

You're right.. I hadn't gotten around to re-watching The Entire History of You when I replied, and I really did not take to it first time around. Where I saw a really interesting hard sci-fi technological story, the script degenerated into "sex lives of people I don't like"...

... I stand corrected said the man in the orthopaedic shoes.

(Now I'm wondering now if there any other films/tv I hated that I can rewatch after this and TDKR...? Blood: The Last Vampire (2009 film), Cosmopolis and Battlefield: Earth? )

Really pissed at itunes and Fox, bought the latest season of Family Guy and apparently Fox has added ads to all of its shows that you purchase. (first ~30 sec AND the last ~30sec) of EACH episode.

No where on the description does it mention that ads are included. And at HD that means I burnt about a gig of download and storage space on ads.

Of course getting a refund is like pulling teeth, so just getting the word out.

Fox is the shitheel of the entertainment industry, I refuse to buy their offerings except on disk.

remind me to post a rant about iTunes & the iPod shuffle device,
the crux of which being that as soon as the device is plugged-in,
there is a script that launches iTunes & removes the device from
the Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) which makes you think you
cannot use the device as what it actually is, just another fucking
flash drive ... & that once you kill the Apple autorun, you STILL
can't drag & drop mp3s to the device, like any other PC fucking
friendly device ... also remind me to post that I done figgered
out how to get around ALL that bullshit, and put the mp3s you
want on your iPod device w/o going "thru" the iTunes application ...

It´s because of things like this that so many people use The Pirate Bay and websites alike.

You can't move/copyfiles to the iPod/iPad without making use of iTunes ... as far as I know. I am willing to learn though.

Seconded.

I used a programme ages ago but can't remember it name, I'll keep on looking, but in the meantime go here: http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/07/08/10 ... your-ipod/

I used copytrans http://www.copytrans.net/download.php on a 3rd gen 20GB ipod, can't say how it would work with the more smart versions.

Couln't you just have gotten a non-Apple MP3 player to do what y'all are talking about?

I will never understand this obsession with paying to much for something that only uses proprietary software.

of course you can, although there wasn't mush choice personally in 2004, the problems not with move the file per say it rebuilding the data base on the I device. As a mass storage device afaik it's just a drag and drop procedure, but the Eye won't see it.

So, what happens to all the iTunes stuff when you die?

Really can't say, I haven't synced ma pod in years. Mostly I used my note and poweramp.

iPod Classic is almost the only decently sized (160GB FTW) MP3 player out there... And perversely, Apple wants to discontinue it...

I have the opposite problem, I've imported all my music into iTunes (I quite like it now) and now I can't auto- sync to my Android phone...

Can't songbird do that?

iTunes grants only the buyer a license, so none of the things you die on iTunes are devisable by will. However, I believe that Bruce Willis currently has a lawsuit pending to ask the court to rule that limitation on transferability is void, so he can leave his iTunes shit to his kids.

Beat me to it.

Convert to MP3 and Archive.

Besides I think it would be up to Apple to keep up with accounts that stay open and used for decades.
