Spotify Radio Needs Some Work, Pandora Fans Need Not Worry
*uncontrollable dry heaving*
I’ve had my share of suggestions for Spotify since they stole my heart from the Zune Pass after nearly half a decade. Don’t get me wrong, I think Spotify is a solid service (even if listens keep disappearing from Facebook, but sigh) and I applaud that they’ve been working on stuff, but Spotify’s newer Radio feature need some lovin’, yo.

Leo Laporte Refuses To Let Ex-G4’ers Sessler, Pereira On TWiT, Says They’re ‘Tainted’
Laporte seems lost.
The G4 absorption of TechTV was not a happy one. Here was a ‘hip with the kids’ network devoted to gaming devouring a respectable channel with tons of tech-related content. The path was complicated, but many of the TechTV staff left on word that they’d have to relocate from their San Francisco home to Los Angeles, among them Leo Laporte, who would later form the This Week in Tech network of video/podcasts. Leo seems like a real nice guy, but a recent remark about his former labelmates came across as quite uncouth.

LOL Review – Miley Cyrus’s Magnum Opus
Sometimes life is just, y’know?
It’s tough to be Lola, who is Miley Cyrus, a realistic representation of an American teenager. She’s a powerful feminist and sexually independent, just like Miley Cyrus. It’s tough to have relationships and ‘go with the flow’ when the world is changing and your life is so complicated and boys are all… Well, LOL isn’t about Laughing Out Loud, like you think you’d do to this movie. No, it’s about Living Out Loud, and Miley shows us how life really is.

NBC’s Olympic Coverage Frustrates Cord-Cutters
Watch the Olympics now, LIVE on tape delay!
NBC is living in the past. When NBC forked over $1.3 billion for the broadcasting rights to the London Olympic Games, the company apparently decided that the best way to recoup their costs was through the same old-school tape delay that networks were using decades ago. And the fact that it’s called “tape” delay tells you how old school it really is.
Oh, sure, every Olympic event is available to live stream on NBC’s website or via their NBC Olympics Live Extra app (provided you are a satellite or cable subscriber), but what NBC really wants you to do tune in at primetime to watch delayed coverage of the games. The better to rack up advertising dollars.
But in a world of Twitter, On Demand TV, and 24-hour news, NBC’s dated model is an Olympic-sized joke.

OMG BETA IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!11ONE1!ELEVEN
That’s right, kids…the Planetside 2 beta has been launched and folks from all over the world have started getting their invitational emails, instructing them where to go and what to do, to get their hands on the beta client and start playing.
While not everyone with priority keys has gotten their invite at this point, Sony Online Entertainment is rolling them out as quickly as possible. This is a time consuming and laborious process and with so many people waiting to get their fingers into the beta, time gets eaten up pretty quickly.
