please empty your brain below

thanks for the youtube, DG - i completely forgot to record it.

What? There was a programme about blogging on last night? Think I was blogging :S

Here's what will happen with BT Vision.

BT will pump loads of money into it. Then, without warning, they will decide that BT is not into "content", and sell the whole thing to Sky or Yahoo or someone. Then they'll start on something almost identical and do the entire thing again. Can you name a single non-telephone service that BT haven't done this with?

Blimey, now Channel 4's doing it too, direct to your PC.

Anyone want to watch a whole series of Desperate Housewives at two quid an episode? Thought not.

*Leaps catlike onto passing bandwagon*

Purrfect business idea DG - TVM

This is free and soooooooooooo brilliant and you can watch at your desk...not that i ever have.

I dunno, smacks of desperation to me. I think the TV companies are getting worried that they're on their way out. And obviously, this is a much better way of saving their asses than actually making some programmes people will want to watch.

Interesting comment about DVDs, because that's not me. I only buy DVDs of films I MISSED at the cinema, not ones I've seen. (And some old films that I loved, but not newer ones.)

If there is anyone out there who wants to watch a full-length film on a mobile phone, could you please make yourself known and explain why? I have a great big television for this purpose. Why would I want to watch a film on a phone?

Why would you want to watch a film on a phone? I suppose for the same reason people want to climb Everest.
Now I come to think of it, you could combine the two activities...

If there aren't already mobile phone masts on Everest, I bet someone somewhere has plans to erect them.

I sat on the train opposite someone watching TV on their phone a couple of months ago. The prospect of this becoming widespread adds a whole new dimension of horror to the morning commute ... Oh, and he decided not to bother with his earphones so we got every word of the dialogue. Gah

I always thought that people who duplicated their vinyl records when CDs were invented were rather sad - in both senses of the word. With near-despair they would contemplate "having" to buy CD versions of every one of their albums as though it were compulsory. Why did they bother? It was a bit like the sorts of people who depressed me when I was a teenager. They'd spend a fortune on the most sophisticated stereo system imaginable but own only one record - and it was always Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon. Me, I had a crappy music centre but hundreds and hundreds of records of all different kinds - by far the better attitude in my view.

I say we all ditch the computers and TV's and stereos etc, and go live in the trees.

After you then.
