Charlie Brooker’s Gameswipe: Paper Edition Part 2
Posted by Admin | Posted in TV Gossip | Posted on 30-09-2009
Gameswipe – quite good wasnt it? We loved the chiptune version of Grandaddys AM180 at the start, along with references to Turbo Esprit, the ZX81 and Your Sinclair. Hamstrung a bit by rebuking lazy media coverage of violent games, but then spending much of the show showing needlessly violent bits from those very same violent games, but hey. One of the most nicely well-informed gaming shows ever to grace television, alongside BBC Scotlands VideoGaiden. Heres hoping that despite the total lack of publicity from BBC Four, it attracted enough viewers to make a full series worthwhile, or at least to make it an annual fixture.

Charlie Brooker’s Gameswipe: The Prequel
Posted by Admin | Posted in TV Gossip | Posted on 28-09-2009
So, hopefully-not-just-a-one-off BBC Four videogaming special Gameswipe, hosted by loveable curmudgeon Charlie Brooker is broadcast tomorrow night (or tonight, by the time you probably read this). In the pre-show bumph, Brooker has mentioned how he started [his] writing career penning video game reviews, so Gameswipe effectively sees [him] coming full-circle: its evolution in reverse basically.

So, after not updating for a while, what better way could there be to return than with a big list of lovely numbers? (Readers voice: Oh bloody hell.)

ATandT Tells FCC Google Voice Violates Network Neutrality Laws
Posted by Admin | Posted in Premium TV | Posted on 26-09-2009
ATandT sent a letter to the FCC protesting Google’s blocking of telephone calls from consumers that use its Google Voice service to call phone numbers with inflated access charges in certain rural areas. By blocking these calls, Google reduces its access expenses, giving it an advantage phone carriers are prevented from enjoying and thus skewering the competition principles in U.S. network neutrality laws, ATandT claims. Google argued that Google Voice must not be accorded the same treatment as services from phone carriers.

Breaking: Cameron is Leaving House
Posted by Admin | Posted in TV News | Posted on 25-09-2009
In all honestly, I could actually go with the House that aired last premiere (’twas good TV, that!) and could care less about the rest….oh, as long as Wilson is still there.

Skype Plots Business VOIP Course with Cisco
Posted by Admin | Posted in Premium TV | Posted on 25-09-2009
Skype’s Skype for SIP software cleared its interoperability certification with the Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series for Small Business, the latest step in the VOIP provider’s plan to hedge into the market for business communications. Skype for SIP will help the company expand its revenue streams into enterprise markets, something it has been unable to do under the aegis of parent company eBay to date.
