It's legal armageddon as NBC, CBS and Fox all sue Dish Network over its new DVR feature allowing users to automatically skip ads, and in response, Dish sues them right back -- and adds in ABC for good measure.

"Their wrongheaded decision requires us to take swift action in order to aggressively defend the future of free, over-the-air television."

I think it should be noted that the signal that you get from Dish via the local affiliate uplink is not actually free (only the signal you get from your antenna is free - which may or may not run through you Dish receiver.) The network affiliates often hold Dish (and other providers) hostage until they get a per subscriber fee to provide the uplink. Thus, the networks are not in fact free, but a paid service.

As a long time Dolphin user I have become accustom to the ease of using bookmarks in an intuitive fashion. I have hundreds upon hundreds of bookmarks all sorted into folders within folders.

With Dolphin these were imported in using Bookmarks to SD. With Firefox it seems the only way to get bookmarks imported is via sync.

How I get to the root folder of my bookmarks in Dolphin: Swipe right. Click bookmark. How I get to the root folder of my bookmarks in Firefox: Click in the address bar. Click Bookmarks. Click Desktop Bookmarks. Click Bookmarks Toolbar. Click bookmark.

So bookmark usage in Firefox is completely unintuitive. It would probably be quicker to just type a given url into the address bar.

Dolphins implementation is much better, as is Maxthon's implementation which is a single click bookmark drop down menu.

I find it cute that conservatives think that a Rasmussen Presidential tracking poll in any way reflects the current electoral math.

Anymore? Facebook is an advertising company with a social front. That's been clear for some time, going back to the data mining controversy in 2007. Anyone who still has a Facebook account is openly subjecting themselves to said reality.

I have a Gitzo. It was a good long term investment. It is light and I know it is built to last. I cringe seeing people hoisting up a 1D with a balance shifting $2500 zoom lens on a $150 plastic tripod.

This low chance likelihood is partially why I have moved to NIMH batteries (4.8v 600mAh in a Maxi Roughstack.)

People seem to forget there is a huge swath of customers that don't have broadband, or have broadband with shackles (I'm personally limited to 20Gb a month.)

Streaming as my primary source of movies isn't even an option...

Just another sad case of channel drift. The good news is that much in the way BBCA has picked up the science fiction genre from Syfy, The Smithsonian channel has picked up the history slack from "History."

I have one and it is a marked improvement in my opinion over the ego tank which either ran dry (burnt taste) or leaked in my experience. Overall, a good device (although I've now moved on to HV mods.)

Skip right past 5v and go with a Maxi Roughstack which can do 3.7, 6v and 7.4v (depending on the battery configuration.) Toss in a dual coil 510 megacarto along with a bottle of FSUS Wyatt Earp (with a touch of menthol crystals as the extra flavoring) and never look back.

A good investment (and a small one at that compared to some of those other mods) and it is built to last.

Their stadium is not in Boston, its in Foxborough, MA.

Did you even read what I wrote?

The "Dallas" Cowboys play in Arlington - not Dallas. The "Miami Dolphins" play in Miami Gardens - not Miami. The "Washington Redskins" play in Landover, Maryland - not Washington. The "New York Giants" play in East Rutherford, New Jersey - not New York. The "Buffalo Bills" play in Orchard park - not Buffalo.

The New England Patriots are unquestionably the NFL team of the Greater Boston Area and while they do represent all of New England (just like The Red Sox, Bruins and Celtics) they are for all intents and purposes, The Boston Patriots.

The team is the NFL representative of the Boston Metropolitan Statistical area. Just like the Arizona Cardinals = the Phoenix Cardinals (even though they play in Glendale.)

Not only that. There are many teams (for instance the Dallas Cowboys) who don't even play in the city of their namesake (aka Arlington) but we all know they represent the greater metro area, anchored by the most populous city.

The Pats had their victory parades in Boston, not Foxborough...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion (including greensalt.) I personally found Donna brash, annoying and generally unlikable. I get that it's a very unpopular thing to say around here (i.e. grounds for auto downvote to oblivion) but from my perspective, she still stands as my least favorite companion of the reboot.

The only time I ever found Catherine Tate funny, was when she was basically spoofing how absolutely annoying her character actually was...

To each their own. I still enjoyed the series during her tenure because of David Tennant's amazing abilities as an actor, but do honestly feel that Amy is a better companion than Donna and the show is better because of it.

Meanwhile...

Every time the Euro goes up 10 cents a Boeing executive faps a kitten.

Shares of the parent of Airbus planemaker EADS, whose chief executive Louis Gallois has said in the past that every 10 cents rise in the euro against the dollar costs the company 1 billion euros in annual operating profits have fallen 3.5 percent over the past week as the euro raced higher and worries of a strong euro resurfaced on traders' radars screens.

The other brewery is in Ohio.

What I was getting at is that the map is dedicated to privately owned local craft beer. Sam Adams is the largest American owned beer producer, so they don't really fall into the community oriented craft category, nor is the majority of their beer produced in Massachusetts.

That said, I personally love Sam Adams and have some in the fridge right now (along with some Harpoon.)

You nailed it. I believe that we will see this scene again in the future and there will be someone raising their visor and I don't think it will be a stuntman's face that comes into view at that reveal...

The jury's still out on whose face that will be, but the fact they used a stuntman to go into the water says nothing as to the face we glimpsed on the visor lift in this episode.

The majority of Sam Adams is brewed in Pennsylvania. Not that it matters. Harpoon is a far superior brewer.
