The clock strikes midnight, February 27, 2015 and House of Cards Season 3 officially goes live on Netflix.
You know what, I’m going to bed… and watch e few episodes tonight.
Sony Pictures Cancels “The Interview” Theatrical Release Due To Terror Threats.
Ars Technica, echoing Variety:
… in light of major US theater chains’ decision to stay away from The Interview, Sony will not do a theatrical release for the film at all.
Sony Pictures definitely errs on the side of caution in the interest of public safety.
This reminds me of the plot of South Park “200” and “201“.
Life sometimes imitates art.
Simpsorama
SIMPSORAMA
A SHOW OUT OF IDEAS TEAMS UP WITH A SHOW OUT OF EPISODES
So true!
“Simpsorama” turned out to be the first new The Simpsons episode the I watched for at least the last 12 years. I want new Futurama episodes; damn you Fox, Comedy Central and all the humans! Umm, please ignore that last part.
This crossover within Matt Groening’s universe is a lot more The Simpsons than Futurama. It is nice to see the Planet Express gang, but it left me wanting more after blurting “That’s all they can come up with?”
Now, can we get new Futurama episodes that would definitely be written better than “Simpsorama”?
Apple, U2, Songs of Innocence and Ireland.
During Apple September 9, 2014 Special Event, Apple CEO and U2 frontman Bono announced that “Songs of Innocence“, latest record from U2 will be made available to all iTunes user accounts.
The fine prints:
Songs of Innocence is available from September 9 to 11:59 p.m. PDT through October 13 in the 119 countries with the iTunes Store. Available to active iTunes Store account holders who are 13 years or older (or the minimum age in each jurisdiction).
The whole album magically appeared in the Music App.
According to reports, Apple is paying an undisclosed amount of money to U2 for this arrangement to happen.
Apple can easily pay the ridiculous amount of money for this album to give away. Considering that Apple has a lot of cash outside the United States thanks to its office in Ireland. By the way, U2 is also from Ireland. Bono is now swimming in tons of cash.
Enemy Territory: Legacy
Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (RTCW:ET or ET)is one of a few games that I regularly play in the past 10 years. Well, I have not been playing ET using my own account for the past 13 months because the binaries are not fully compatible with OS X Mavericks, starting with the Developer Preview 1.
Just a few weeks ago, my colleague told me that new build of Enemy Territory: Legacy is working fine on OS X Mavericks.
Enemy Territory: Legacy is:
Open-source team based FPS game compatible with Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory™
Shortly after I am now back on the game. My colleagues and I can be found at ETForever.com.
Hulu to Become Exclusive Home for “South Park”
From South Park Blog:
Hulu and South Park Digital Studios announced today the exclusive, multi-year licensing agreement to stream all seasons of “South Park” on the Hulu Plus subscription service. In addition, the entire “South Park” library will be available for free on Hulu from now until the premiere of season 18 this fall (Sept. 24). Fans will have next-day access to new episodes on Hulu and Hulu Plus starting with season 18. SouthPark.cc.com will continue to have all seasons of South Park until the beginning of season 18, at which point both Hulu and SouthPark.cc.com will have a revolving selection of free episodes available. Hulu will power the video and advertising experience on SouthPark.cc.com.
As of now until September 24, 2014 all but a few select episodes of South Park (Super Best Friends, 200 and 201) are freely available for viewing. Thereafter “a revolving selection of free episodes” will be available for viewing at Hulu and SouthPark.cc.com.
“This is a natural partnership for us,” said Matt Parker and Trey Stone, creators of “South Park.” “We are excited that the entire library will be available on Hulu and that the best technology around will power South Park Digital Studios.”
Does that mean Super Best Friends, 200 and 201 will be available for viewing to Hulu Plus subscribers?
It seems that South Park episodes will be heavily pirated again in the United States.

Dear New Friend,
Thank you for writing to me, Bender. It really means a lot to me. Not many humans contact me because I am so rude and impatient. You’re starting to get on my nerves now. Quit buggin’ me, meatbag!
P.S. – Buy my DVD.
Love,
Bender
Response number 2:
Aloha, Friend!
Bender Bending Rodriguez here, better known as the Robot King. Did you know that the Hawaiian word “Aloha” can mean both “hello” and “goodbye”? However, in the following usage, it only means goodbye. Aloha, jerk!
Yours truly,
Bender
P.S. – Please buy my DVD. And once again, aloha. Jerk.
Dear Admirer,
Thank you for taking the time to write to me, Bender. Although I deleted your email without looking at it, I’m sure it was very boring. Write again soon!
Your robot pal,
Bender
P.S. – If you buy less than eight copies my DVD, you’re a cheapskate.
