On a day I was probably best advised to "do stuff", but was just too
tired and watched TV instead, I watched...:
The Big Bang Theory (OnDemand) - "The Bon Voyage Reaction" (season
finale). This was just an OK effort. In later seasons, they really have
turned Sheldon from "clueless" to "asshole", though, haven't they?
Anyway, it looks like they've broken up Raj and his little annoying
girlfriend, so hopeful we'll be spared her being added to the full-time
cast next season... :/ (Though I did notice that Stuart was
shit-canned from the main cast with amazing alacrity this year!)
soaps: B&B - Bitch-nasty Steffi admits that she's a(n accidental) baby
killer. (And, apparently, the actress will be "taking a break" from the
show in July...)
Y&R - Whoa! I did not see this coming! - But are Summer and Kyle
*brother and sister*?!! (Nice of them to keep acknowledging Camryn
Grimes' Cassie after all these years - WEHT Camryn Grimes, anyway?!)
Meanwhile, is Michael going to cave, and bury the hatchet with Lauren?
DOOL - Crazy Gabi goes toe-to-toe with Sami and tells copper Hope
that "E.J. did it!!", but soon realizes that maybe creepy Nick was the
one who tried to kill Rafe afterall. There was also a bunch of stuff
with Krazy Kristin/John/Marlena, but I just don't care... :/
Sky High (Disney) - I was actually bored enough after soaps that I
watched this. You know, Mary Elizabeth Winstead actually does a pretty
good job in this. ;) (And, bonus! - there's actually an in-movie
reason why she looks way too old to be a "high schooler"!!)
Vamperifica (Chiller) - This was odd. In this flick, Dreama Walker's
flamboyantly gay best friend (Martin Yurkovic) is actually the
reincarnated soul of a vampire king, and is being stalked by two of the
original vampire king's lieutenants.
I liked about the first 30 minutes of this when the sad-sack gay best
friend was getting kicked around by life (big time!). But I think this
movie kind of lost it once the gay best friend was made into a full-on
vampire by his hot female lieutenant (Bonnie Swencionis - please get her
more parts! STAT!!). I'm still not even sure what this flick was trying
to say. And the attempts at humor basically fell flat once the flick
turned life-or-death with the lead becoming a murderous vampire. And I
didn't like the bitch-tacular ending either.
It looks like Chiller is doubling-up with another of these "vampire
horror/comedy" flicks next Friday, with "My Sucky Teen Romance"...
Nikita - "'Til Death Do Us Part" (season finale). Ultimately, I found
this finale to be quite disappointing. First, once again, Icebreaker
would have hated it because, by this point, Amanda (and The Shop) are
basically omniscient, with their plans never failing to come off. (How
they "framed" Nikita in this finale was completely ridiculous, and not
in a good way... :/ ) And then both ending 'twists', especially the
Nikita 'cliffhanger', basically sucked.
Let's hope this show does a better job with its final 6 episodes than
the original "La Femme Nikita" did. But, based on this finale, I'm not
too hopeful.
CSI (recorded) - "Skin in the Game" (season finale). As promised to me
in this newsgroup, Morgan (Elizabeth Harnois) goes *way* undercover to
catch one of the genre's tedious 'super genius' serial killers (this
time, it's Tim Matheson), while annoying reporter James Callis (who
should have been dead earlier in this episode for his total stupidity!)
looks on.
Of course, this all ends in a cliffhanger, with both Morgan, and
Brass' prodigal daughter Ellie (Teal Redmann (not actually seen in this
episode, though possibly heard in a V.O...); though the role was
actually first played by Nicki Aycox...), in mortal danger.
NCIS:LA (recorded) - "Descent" (season finale). A brutal, and rather
tedious, finale, as Christopher Lambert takes revenge on those who
"wronged" him, which of course includes G. Callan, which puts most of
the team in danger (this ends in torture for a couple of them...).
Most tediously, this ended in a cliffhanger (a *literal* one, for
Aunjanue Ellis...).
OK, I know we're getting in to Summer doldrums here but... come on! what
did you watch?!
--
"Surf-crazed aliens... Of course." - Amber, "Alien Surf Girls",
Episode #1.1, "Wipeout".
Wait a minute... "Of course"?! "*Of course*"?!! Did I miss a step here??!!

I liked Sky High
MYSTERIES, where they tossed *so* many anachronistic inventions at us it
became self parody, and this week's CONTINUUM, which I enjoyed, despite
predicting what was going to happen at ever turn.

BBC America - SPIES OF WARSAW (miniseries) - ALAN FURST!!!1!
WOO-WOO! BBC did a 4-hour miniseries based on Alan Furst's
novels. Yeah of course it was great! And the adorable Janet
Montgomery looked even cuter than usual, as they didn't try to cover
up the natural lines/bags under her eyes, which gave her the perfect
world-weary forlorn look for a woman in Poland in 1937-39.
http://wpc.556e.edgecastcdn.net/80556E/img.news/NEC4lJoodmp3FC_1_1.jpg
Look for this one come Emmys time.
Grade: A+
Short snatches of two Lifetime efforts, MURDER IN GREENWICH (the
adorable Maggie Grace) and MURDER IN SOME OTHER RICH SUBURB (with
Poppy Montgomery -- I had just forgotten how cute she was before her
looks went, but she was adorable getting murdered in 2006).
Grade: DNF, although the first one was actually not bad at all.
SOUL SURFER (HBO)
I just watched this and needed another dose because I've been
feeling sorry for myself. Yet another supercute girl, Anna Sophie
Robb and several teenage friends jumping all around the screen in
bikinis. Is there *anything* cuter than teenagers in bikinis?
This is now going on my official "Top Ten Guilty Pleasures" list.
Let's see how many I can name:
Soul Surfer
Roadhouse
Walking Tall (original)
Push
Starship Troopers
Pitch Black
Coyote Ugly
Dumb & Dumber
Legally Blonde
Crash (the first, really warped one)

Not so much 'have to' as 'choose to'
At least you have "Jack Hunter and the Lost Treasure of Ugarit" to keep
you warm.

*And* she gets her arm bitten off by a giant shark on camera. Cool!
In a cute bikini. Then you get to cry a lot if you want.
Leeton just got chased around by a cool baby monster a little.

I was just fittin' to say (as we say in Georgia). Apple is notorious
for abandoning Flash.
Adobe Flash is fairly horrible except for one thing: as a platform for
video. Which is exactly why Apple doesn't like it, since they want to
shove the inferior QuickTime down your throat (and put it on your
autostart menu without asking you first).
It's hard to pick someone to pull for. Apple = Evil Empire. Adobe =
Spawn of Satan. Problem is, they both write excellent software when
they stick to their specialties.

If they didn't have a virtual monopoly, they'd be dead. Who knows,
maybe the Japanese (or even Chinese) will build an OS so good that
they will do to MS what they did to GM.

it's "mission creep" products at a very high standard. In fact, they
are wiping the floor with Microsoft in the smartphone OS market.
And what's more, Google actually understands customer service. I

There's a lot to like about Google, but that doesn't include their
respect for privacy. And while I like a lot of their software, I'm
reluctant to put too many of my eggs in Google's basket, so I always
look at alternatives and resist jumping at another Google product.
That's why, to use the latest example, I'm in no hurry to leave Evernote

I wondered about that. Apparently, you *can* still buy CS6 products;
it's just the last standalone version Adobe plans to sell.
I am wondering how this will go over. We now have two near-monopoly
software companies royally pissing off a large number of customers.
This could, ultimately, lead to a serious revision of intellectual
property law in the US. If you remember back some years ago, one of
the proposed remedies in the Microsoft antitrust litigation was to
force them to make the kernal of Win 3.1 available to other software
companies for a reasonable licensing fee.

You can spin it however you like, but Google has many other products
besides AdSense, and the stories out there of people trying unsuccessfully
to deal with Google regarding problems with them are legion.
Contrary to your initial claim-- which I realize is your opinion and valid
insofar as that goes-- Google does *not* have a very good reputation for
being customer service-friendly.

monetize them in different ways. If they're going to sell Google Docs, for
example, as a way of putting all your essential documents in one place,
when something goes wrong and people lose access to their valuable
information, they can't then turn around and shrug their collective
shoulders at those very people they're trying so hard to attract and say,
"Well, you didn't pay for it, so go to hell" whenever anything goes wrong.
Or more accurately, they *can* do that, but they're going to get a
well-deserved reputation for shitty customer service if they do.
