Blog 4. Blog 3. Blog1. Ok, I am getting bored talking about fox and google. But as things pop up, like news in the media saying that MicroSoft is trying to entice Fox to “de-list” from Google, I cant pass up posting on it. Particularly when it makes so much sense Here is why Bing paying Fox to De-list from Google can be a significant first step and can work: First, Bing doesn’t need to get the most popular sites to join fox in de-listing. They need the most popular searches in the categories they want to impact. Bing just has to corner the market on specific categories.
If they are able to corner some little corners, say sites about auto news, by paying bloggers and news sites in this category to go exclusive with Bing, they can trumpet it loud and far that if you want information about a new car, you have to go to Bing because “they dont take Google”. Which makes the public positions of AP and Reuters and other top news sites all the more interesting. De-List a few key sites. So bing just might have a shot.

One artist's conception of what Under the Dome might look like, if it were The Simpsons Movie. The two big Steves in entertainment (other than Gutenberg, of course) are finally teaming up on a project: adapting Stephen King’s recent thriller Under The Dome into a TV miniseries. Yep, DreamworksTV has optioned Dome and is looking to bring it to cable. I think we speak for everyone when we say, “Thank goodness! We can’t wait to watch another watered down version of a King novel we might someday get around to reading if we’re stuck in an airport for over 12 hours.”
The book is about a small Maine town that suddenly finds itself trapped under an invisible dome. Since it’s King, we’re sure 95 percent of the town is alcoholic writers.

By brendonNovember 23, 2009 @ 2:37 PM Last week, Lindsay Lohan threw a hissyfit after she tried to help herself to $15,000 worth of clothes from the LA store Kitson.
You may find this hard to believe, but they didn’t let her. Naturally, Lindsay was offended by this and snapped at the clerk that the store owner would want her to have all this stuff, for free, because he loves her so much. Oh hey guess what. Kitson heads have blasted the liberty-taking star and insist she’s lucky they’re still stocking her 6126 leggings. A spokesman said: “We’re actually really offended. That it took even this long is all the proof you need that Hollywood is run by complete morons.
TIME LORDS LOVE THIS COMPUTER, HAPPY ANIVERSARY DOCTOR WHO | Gam. The greatest dynasty in pro sports right now is one that most sports fans could care less about. That would be the dynasty of the Hendrick Motorsports No. 48 Chevy Monte Carlo, fronted by California native Jimmie Kenneth Johnson. It’s a name so white you could spread peanut butter on it. Johnson won his fourth consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup Series title yesterday, and if it were not for ESPN’s deal with NASCAR, it’s fair to say that most of us would be totally unaware of it. Between an above-average NFL Sunday and the AMAs last night, Johnson’s achievement was the veritable tree falling in an empty forest.
No driver has ever won four straight titles at that level. The worst thing of all of this is that Jimmie’s achievement will do almost nothing to bring new fans to NASCAR.

Sure, they may be unstoppable on the page, but the old pulp heroes have one enemy that they can never seem to defeat: Hollywood execs. Yep, Hollywood has destroyed most of the great heroes in a way that all their masked nemeses could only dream of.
The Shadow was reduced to Alec Baldwin playing… Alec Baldwin in a cape. The Phantom was brought down to Billy Zane somehow making purple spandex even more ridiculous. And the less said about the how-can-we-outcamp-Adam-West Doc Savage film, the better. But lately, Hollywood has gone pulp crazy and is developing new films left and right, including a big budget adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter of Mars that Brad Bird’s developing for Disney.
They’re even snatching up properties they’ve already done their best to destroy, as Sam Raimi has the rights to the Shadow (a new film is supposedly slated for 2012) and Shane Black is writing a Doc Savage screenplay for Sony. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. I want more like this!
