- Rael Dornfest is heading off from O'Reilly to explore new territories Good luck old chap. It was lovely working with you on the ETech programme last year and I look forward to seeing your new projects come to fruition...
- Stewart and Colbert on O'Reilly & Rivera American television is much more entertaining than British television. They get all shouty and aggressive and they make clever jokes about each other. So unfair.
- WiFi Router includes Built-In 160Gig Drive, iTunes, Bittorrent & FTP has just come onto the market I'm going to say it now, this is the first pass of the entertainment system of the future. You'll stick it under your TV, it'll connect to the internet and be the hub for your home and all your entertainment.
- My old proposal for an Apple media hub from January 2005 Operates as the router for the home, rips and stores audio and video, can broadcast and be accessed from devices all around the home...
- Gross! Superfast star-nosed mole looks like something you'd find growing on the butt of someone in a David Cronenberg movie How come we're only now discovering the sheer range of really gross animals that exist? Feels like we should have noticed these things earlier - it's not like they're inconspicuous...
- Is cultural diversity the result of parasitic brain infections? This seems like a wonderful line for Republicans to explore - "Well of course they feel that way because of organisms in their brains. It's obvious really. Poor dears."
- Imagining the Tenth Dimension - A Flash walkthrough of some of the concepts in the book by Rob Bryanton It's pretty extraordinary stuff and sort of makes sense. I think I'll watch it through a couple of times more later this evening

Your apple media centre looks suspiciously like Windows MCE :p

Sure TDS is funnier than most british fare... But TDS certainly isn't representative of American television in general.

Re Imagining the Tenth Dimension. It's not immediately obvious from the site, but this is just an amusing diversion. The author doesn't pretend that this is a model of how the universe actually works.
