    Raines cancelled? Any support out there?

    Is anyone else wishing they didn't cancel the Raines show on NBC? While I am not surprised it didn't last on a big channel during primetime, it was an awesome NOIR Mystery type flick. I wasn't a fan of jeff goldblum, but he really pulled off this character for the show. They should have...

    The Google OS.

    I was considering the desktop search and all that Google is coming out with. How long till they just say the heck with it and write their own OS, browser, email, and Office suite? Just looking at what all they are doing, I'm not sure it would be too far a leap for them. Tired of the M$...

    Radio song play billing scheme, WTF? webradio update?
