		<description>what!?

Daleks: &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;EXTERMINATE!!&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

ah,well. I thought I&#039;d mention because of the keygen music. First TV series in the world to use electronic music as opening theme you know. And it being a bbc series, the people in it look like real people, not movie stars, so you usually learn something new. (who ever said television stifled creativity?)</description>

		<description>How can you live without watching Dr House XD

Reading through got me the impression of dja vue (partially) of the Orange conference at Octavié whereby you make things revolve around you as opposed to the static schedule of tv programs and if you ask me, it seem a good idea...and you can make better planning as well....

But honestly,as i see it, there is something that needs to bridge the gap between, that catalyste to start the flow...that little something that can allow dynamic content with the quality of TV sets. Yes, LCD and Plasma are better, even RGB projectors in some cases comes with better viewing quality but the television is &quot;something&quot; else and a lot cheaper XD. If the technology of having your desktop and tv at the same place was more affordable, lot of things would have changed.

Simple example on myself, come home, and go straight away in room, most of the time is spend on the net and get out only to eat and if it was not for Dr House, i think i wouldnt even watch tv (and because i dnt already have it on media right now XD)...i think even if its in my room, i need the TV feeling, like a more comfortable chair, a set which i could watch from a little distance and still enjoy....those little stuffs that make tv what it is.

Maybe if things like LCD or even the apple tv (lol the AVI cable for my ipod costs Rs1000.00...might be cheap in the USA, but its simply telling me to keep away :D or invest elsewhere) were affordable to the mass, those other services like VOD boxes and such would have been more common


hehe this article reminded me of how i used to listen to the radio at home and now,i cant remember when i took the radio to listen to FM or AM at home,even a cd :s....Now its most of the time mp3 on pc....for sure, a new trend is getting most of us..hopefully someone will see this coming and put the right service and hardware at the right price :D (and become rich ^^) {lol i listen to internet radio more :o...lets hope for a future with bright experience and content }

p.s. Selven, death note available if you need :)</description>

		<description>@ El Nino

you have floods all over the place (where place is the whole inhabited word). and you think that&#039;s terrible and all. when it happens in your own back yard, you think &quot;Is that all?&quot; and only pause to notice that the picture quality is different.

you have a prime minister that&#039;s all over the news. You can wonder if that is all that is happening in the country and if the guy has some revolutionary teleportation device that allows him to be in so many places in a day.

I&#039;ll take another example from the film &quot;American History X&quot; (which my pseudo-girlfriend forced me to watch). There is this guy, a known felon and generally, an asshole, driving really fast on the road. cops give chase and after a hectic pursuit manage to pin him down. The asshole, being an asshole, attacks the cops who are trying to arrest him. Now along comes a kid/guy/old woman with a video camera. and films the scene. he/she catches the cops beating the asshole to the ground very violently. they do not know about the reckless driving, car chase and all the anger and fustration those cops had to face to catch that asshole. they don&#039;t even know that the asshole is an asshole or that he attacked the cops. All they see is a (black) guy being savagely beaten down by several (white) cops.

Immediately they will think its a racial incident. send their tape to TV stations. And this is the interesting bit: all the rest of the mass media will pick up the train and it will create a general hoohaa and you&#039;ll all forget about the asshole and only concentrate on the &quot;bad&quot; cops beating a poor guy for a little speeding.

Hence distortion of reality. If you knew all the facts, you might approve of the cops. you might even have joined in and given the guy a few kicks to the head.

and if you think the asshole is an asshole, you&#039;ve just been had by a little reality distortion of my own. If you repeat a point of view often enough you will think it to be true and be very confuse when offered an alternative. You may very often react very violently to defend the initial point of view you adopted.

 What you see/read/hear in the media is not necessarily what you would &lt;b&gt;accept&lt;/b&gt; to be true. what you see yourself may not be true either.

I say accept because Reality itself is a fickle concept. One approach is to consider that what your senses tell you is real and to further accept that your senses don&#039;t sense everything. Going by those two alone. there&#039;s a lot of Reality that isn&#039;t real to you. Different people will give different reasons for the discrepancies. including god and science and Tom Cruise.

But as you will often find me saying: It Depends.

on what? well, Everything.

there&#039;s a lot more but you should find that out on your own. ...so as not to spoil the big surprise.

(this is probably not what sundeep meant, but you can rationalise arbitrary statements any way you like. and I&#039;m usually more right than wrong)

@ selven, try the Dr. Who soundtrack. it&#039;s what i&#039;m listening to right now. and its froody.</description>

		<description>&quot;IMHO, TV being or making us unproductive could still be ok but the fact that it manipulates information, distorts facts and insults our intellect is shameful, abhorrent and repugnant in more than a way.&quot;

Could Sundeep please kindly elaborate on this, such as providing a few examples? It&#039;s easy to state something but very hard to explain!</description>

		<description>Its great to record, edit (Adobe Premier), and broadcast on the internet!

However, when I watch Discovery Channel and BBC Documentaries, I do not consider wasting my time before the TV.

My last blog post was on an info from the MBC News Service, this permitted me to get inspired to produce something and share it to the net.</description>

		<description>Yeah that&#039;s true... I myself watch tv less and less... I simply choose my own movies and watch... ;)  Better do something productive... thus passing our time and not sitting idle... as it is an idle mind is a devil&#039;s workshop... :P And sitting like this and watching &quot;useless&quot; things on tv is no less... I spend most of my time either sleeping or surfing the net for new and interesting things... :) 
Selven is right btw, people will share more and more in the future rather that only consuming... (An example is the torrent or even the peer to peer :P)</description>
