The TV and Film Guy's Reviews (Free subscription) | yesterday
Created by Ray Romano and Mike Royce, and starring Romano, Scott Bakula, and Andre Braugher, TNT's Men of a Certain Age examines exactly what it title suggests – men of a certain age. In this case, the age happens to be their late 40s, or if you prefer, "middle-aged." While it may be wishful thinking on the part of these three men to think that they are only entering middle-age in their...

What are the qualifications for band of the decade? Well, obviously the band has to have been around for the past ten years. The band also had to release consistent albums over the years and those albums had to be great. Even though I’ve missed-out on a lot of the music scene during the past [...]

That this Times story doesn't come as a surprise should be the most shocking part of the revelation in a way. The police are arresting people they wouldn't usually arrest purely so that they can get their DNA. It's like the old suss laws but now with science to back it up. 'He's a wrong 'un Sarge, I can just feel it.' 'Okay let's get him in and swab him. We'll soon see.' DNA has become a kind of panacea...

Come to mention it, I'm sure I remember Tom Baker's incarnation saying he was 749 in around 1974 so I've no idea how he's managed to gain over 150 years in less than 30. My husband, who was 12 at the time, remembers watching the first episode...

One of the things that I’ve been hearing from a lot of grassroots activists is that we need people in Congress who are willing to stand up for what’s right. It’s my belief that this isn’t just about wanting leaders who will promote policy that activists support, but it’s also a general desire to see leaders who are willing to put their necks on the line for things they...

We are working on the new units based pricing which we plan to launch early December for the January bills. We will have some new web pages, and some changes in progress for the next week or so which should not generally be linked in to the live site. I'll probably post some on the irc channel for comments. We also hope to be able to provide a "test" version of the new ordering page for customers...

At VentureBeat’s GreenBeat conference last night, Kleiner Perkins leader John Doerr touched on a lot of the themes he usually does: the necessity of putting a price on carbon, greentech as “the largest economic opportunity of the 21st century,” and the smart grid being a massive opportunity. But Doerr did make one very interesting statement [...]
