Katie Couric, CBS and the Future of Network News (NPR)

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:14:05 PDT
Katie Couric's early exit from CBS News appears almost imminent, but her departure signals more than a personal failure to win ratings; it's the unraveling of the idea that there will always be a "big three" in network news.

I stopped by the NAB Show 2008 today – well in the virtual sense, if I’d been in Las Vegas I think the poker tables would have attracted me more than mingling with the National Association of Broadcasters. Still, I was interested to see if any interesting news had popped up and saw that the HD Radio revolution is still going strong.

The CMT Awards Take "One-Hit Wonder" Jokes To An Uncomfortable New Level

Idolator: All About The Music, USA - Apr 15, 2008
 

Last night's CMT Music Awards�the country-music television network's version of its sister network MTV's Video Music Awards�veered into "a little more than slightly excruciating" territory when co-host Miley Cyrus tripped her way through a Taylor Swift intro in which she talked about texting the glittery-guitar-hoisting country protege incessantly, an endless setup to what would be one of many "ha ha, Dad, I'm paying your bills!" zingers that the Hannah Montana star sent in the direction of her father/svengali, "Achy Breaky Heart" singer Billy Ray Cyrus. (Yes, he performed the line dance that sent him and his mullet to stardom back in 1992, the same year his cash cow was sired.) The opening skit, in which Trace Adkins and his really greasy mop tried currying favor with everyone from Donald Trump to the three remaining Presidential candidates in order to get passes to the show, also mined that route; its final punchline was that Billy Ray was making extra scratch by scalping tickets, which were of course hot properties because of his daughter's presence. That girl is going to be so messed up in three years. Full list of winners�which includes three awards for Kellie Pickler, two for Taylor Swift, and one for that super-creepy video where Jon Bon Jovi and Leann Rimes make out�after the jump.



_ Video of the year: Taylor Swift, "Our Song."
_ Male video: Trace Adkins, "I Got My Game On."
_ Female video: Taylor Swift, "Our Song."
_ Group video: Rascal Flatts, "Take Me There."
_ Duo video: Sugarland, "Stay."
_ Breakthrough video: Kellie Pickler, "I Wonder."
_ Collaborative video: Bon Jovi featuring LeAnn Rimes, "Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore."
_ Performance of the year: Kellie Pickler, "I Wonder" from 41st Annual CMA Awards.
_ Supporting character of the year: Rodney Carrington from Trace Adkins' "I Got My Game On."
_ Wide open country video: Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, "Gone, Gone, Gone (Done Moved On)."
_ Tearjerker video: Kellie Pickler, "I Wonder."
_ Comedy video: Brad Paisley, "Online."
_ Video director: Michael Salomon for Toby Keith's "High Maintenance Woman" and Trace Adkins' "I Got My Game On."

Full screen captures and save web images with new Apple iPhone firmware

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 05:12:32 PDT
The latest Apple iPhone 2.0 beta firmware allows the user to save web images to its camera roll for later download to the iphone handset or share via email. Well now apparently a reliable source has confirmed that the Apple iPhone is now also capable of snapping full screen captures. Much like the one pictured here, all the user need to do is hold the sleep button and tap the home button. Can’t say for sure whether it works, and can’t confirm if it actually captures screens from a video; but a

True (and perhaps only real) Solution -- Humane Education

(Picture Above: "Romeo." As painful as it is to look at "Euth lists" each day from the shelters, without doing so, this loving, gentle dog would now be dead. Of the greatest responsibilities we have on this planet, perhaps the greatest is that to keep informed and not hide or try to deny realities.) MissKean Writes: Our pets live so much at the whim of the people who "own" them. They are so loving and really demand so little for their loyalty. I used to browse the Craigslist section o
