Review: Slingbox Pro (The Prelude)

I’ve been wanting to try out Slingbox since it was first out. Pricing and the lack of Mac support were the main reasons why I never actually bought it. Fortunately, an acquaintance purchased Slingbox Pro a few days ago. I was asked to set it up and I didn’t waste any seconds to do so.

To summarize the whole experience, it’s great.

I’ll post the details later on.

Warner Music Group to Acquire Roadrunner Music Group

Earlier this week Warner Music Group announced that they are going to acquire Roadrunner Music Group.
http://www.wmg.com/news/article/?id=8a0af8120f88d9f4010f956206405504

12/18/2006

Warner Music Group Corp. (NYSE: WMG) today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 73.5 percent of Roadrunner Music Group B.V., which includes Roadrunner Records, one of the leading hard rock and heavy metal labels, for $73.5 million in purchase price and other considerations.

….

The company has enjoyed strong momentum over the past several years. This year alone, Roadrunner has increased its SoundScan market share in the Hard Music genre (which includes both Hard Rock and Heavy Metal) by more than two percentage points. The label’s multi-Platinum, Grammy-nominated artist, Nickelback, is responsible for the No. 1 Hard Music album for 2005 and year-to-date 2006 in the U.S.

In addition to Nickelback, Roadrunner’s roster includes multi-Platinum Grammy winner Slipknot, Grammy-nominated Stone Sour, Killswitch Engage, Theory of a Deadman, Megadeth, Black Label Society and Trivium, among others.

For more information about Roadrunner, visit: www.roadrunnerrecords.com

Roadrunner Records was the home of many influential Metal bands back in the 80’s and early 90’s. Sadly, for the past few years Nickleback was one of their best sellers. Nickleback sold lots of records, but WHY?

I took a little bit of interest in this acquisition since the band I’m sorta working with just recently signed with Roadrunner Records.

Apple Honors Season Pass for South Park Season 10

Apple is giving the complete South Park Season 10 to customers who purchased Season 10A Season Pass.

iTunes Store Season Pass for South Park Season 10 created a controversy after Comedy Central decided to split the season in two. Many customers who purchased South Park Season 10 “Season Pass” were outraged to find out that they only got 7 episodes instead of the whole season. Currently iTunes Store is sellling South Park Season 10A for $11.99 and Season 10B for $13.93.

Apple has begun sending emails to iTunes customers who purchased Season Pass for South Park Season 10 prior to Comedy Central decision to split the season.

If you bought the Season Pass for South Park Season 10 before the announced split, you might be getting the email already. Enjoy!

Thanks Apple.

David X. Cohen Interview About Futurama Episodes

David X. Cohen talks about New Futurama, Fry and Leela relationship, and Hypnotoad.

ToyFare: So where are you right now in the production of the new season?

DAVID X. COHEN: We’re about halfway through the writing, but just getting started on the animation. One big decision we have not yet made is how, once again, to “end” the series—hopefully not for the last time.

ToyFare: How long after the last “series finale” does the new season take place? And what can we expect for the Fry and Leela relationship?

COHEN: When our story resumes, two long years have passed. As for the Fry/Leela relationship, we will be visiting that subject right away, so I refuse to tell you where it will lead on the grounds that I want you to buy the DVD.
