For Valentine’s Day Red Tettemer has set up a “sexting” hotline. At first I figured this had to be a bot, but after this last response, I’m positive there is a live person behind it. The real question is, who?

I’d like to set the record straight regarding Boxee’s access to Hulu. Boxee uses a web browser to access Hulu’s content – just like Firefox or Internet Explorer. Boxee users click on a link to Hulu’s website and the video within that page plays. We don’t “take” the video. We don’t copy it. We don’t put ads on top of it. The video and the ads play like they do on other browsers or on Hulu Desktop. And it certainly is legal to do so.

Expect to see these at fast food chains everywhere soon.

What's with the CG in Lost?

There have been several sequences, few and far between in Lost that involve entire CG renderings that look horrible. Two that stick out in my mind the most are the submarine dive sequence from Season 5, where the vessel literally looked like it was pulled out of a late 90’s computer game. Last night’s underwater sequence took the cake though, the camera panning, cheesy music, and terrible rendering was a total buzz kill.

It’s obviously not budget, ABC has the money and Lost is one of the top viewed shows on television. Lost’s creator J.J. Abrams has plenty of experience with great CG in his films Cloverfield and Star Trek. So what is it?
