2008-09-27 16:33:00 AP - Some critics' and fellow filmmakers' comments about Paul Newman:
90210-Oh-Oh: Critics Being Left in the Dark
2008-08-18 23:15:00 This afternoon, theTVaddict.com received the following official statement from the CW. “The CW and our studio partner CBS Paramount Network Television have made the strategic marketing decision not to screen “90210″ for any media in advance of its premiere. We’re not hiding anything . . . simply keeping a lid on 90210 until 9.02, riding the curiosity and anticipation into premiere night, and letting all our constituents see it at the same time.” Now, far be it from this TV Addict to start unsubstantiated rumors [after-all, isn’t that what Entertainment Tonight is for?], but can this seriously be considered a positive sign for the show that’s supposed to be the CW’s last and best hope for survival?

Smear Campaign against critics of Sathya Sai Baba
2008-08-11 20:47:00 An observing public may wonder about those countless diatribes frequently posted against former Sathya Sai Baba followers who have spoken out. Sometimes there are what appear to be reasoned points made in articles, but which are based on assumptions not founded in fact and wilful efforts to mislead and contrive bogus arguments. In both cases ...

Google silences Android critics
2008-06-07 00:29:00 Last month, on the official Android discussion group, David "Lefty" Schlesinger posted a message that questioned the open sourciness of Google's fledgling mobile platform. And he was promptly muzzled by Google developer advocate Dan Morrill. "Now I'm moderated," says Lefty, an open source guru with Access, the Japan-based mobile software outfit. "I can't post anything unless Google approves it first." Granted, it wasn't the most diplomatic of messages. It actually quoted from The Reg. And Lefty had been floating such notes for quite awhile. In the end, he was probably muzzled for reasons that extend beyond his views on software development. But his story is still a nice metaphor for Google's relationship with certain parts of the open source community.

DEVELOPERS, CRITICS SOUND OFF ON FACEBOOK’S PROFILE REDESIGN
2008-05-21 21:34:00 A look at the tabbed interface that Facebook will be rolling out soon as part of its profile redesign.(Credit: Facebook) On Wednesday, after months of nothing but ambiguous screenshots, Facebook finally talked about its upcoming site redesign. It'll make it easier for members to see immediate, dynamic updates from their network of friends, a company representative said, and it'll cut down on some of the profile clutter by distributing user information across a set of tabs rather than having it all on one page. The big question: Will members like it? "Any user interface changes, large or small, carry with them a certain risk," developer Kyle Bragger told CNET News.com, adding that big decisions can easily create more confusion. "Audience really should always be considered when making user interface decisions." And considering Facebook has more than 70 million members, many of whom don't consider themselves particularly tech-savvy, a massive overhaul won't go over smoothly wi...

Dangers to the lives of critics of Sathya Sai Baba
2008-05-18 12:24:00 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/prog-rammes/this_world/3813469.stm That it is too dangerous for opponents of Sathya Sai Baba to enter India, considering his control of much of the government, judiciary, local police etc. is underlined by the number of murders, fatal accidents and disappearances registered through the years. It is hardly inviting to any sensible citizen to go to this place when ...

PEOPLE Critics Review Britney Spears on How I Met Your Mother
2008-05-14 12:56:00 Britney Spears returned to CBS?s How I Met Your Mother Monday as Abby, the silly-vulnerable receptionist with an unrequited crush on Ted (Josh Radnor). The ratings spiked with her first appearance, so she was quickly shoehorned into this new episode. The fact that Britney?s second guest spot really didn?t work was no fault of hers. She?s ...

What to do when the critics get too close ?

Didn?t take long: Chrysler?s $2.99 gas guarantee draws critics
2008-05-07 04:45:00 If you're trying to conserve fuel, making said fuel cheaper doesn't help the cause. If you're trying to sell cars, making the stuff they run on cheaper might help. But one thing is for certain, not everyone is a fan of Chrysler's new "Let's Refuel America Gas Card." As we calculated this morning, the incentive will likely only save a driver a few hundred bucks a year. As ABG reader Dan pointed out in a comment on the original post, buyers need to give up any other incentives currently available in order to get the gas card, and some of those deals are much bigger than $1,200 (the gas plan is in effect for three years). Automotive News is reporting that the Union of Concerned Scientists has got their own phrase for the plan: a "cynical deal." Here's the kicker, the Union's statement continues:But a mere 3-mpg boost would yield the same savings over the 15,000 miles per year typically driven in the first three years of ownership. Over the lifetime of a vehicle, such a fuel econ...

Jumper: The Movie Reached Much Higher than Critics Admit
2008-05-05 00:11:00 I finally got a chance to see Jumper last night. Contrary to critics and many posts on the web, I liked it.First, a disclaimer. I have a business relationship with one of the movie's executive producers - Ralph Vicinanza's agency represents my novels (I have five published so far). Plus, I've worked with Vince Gerardis, also an executive producer of Jumper. And Steven Gould, an acquaintance, wrote the novel of the same name upon which the movie was based.So, take my praise of Jumper with the above grains of salt if you like, but I nonetheless liked the movie - a lot - and here's why:It was an unusual and therefore refreshing mix of scales in a movie. In part very personal, in part global, it was not quite like anything I've ever seen before. The story is also a rare one, for both written and cinematic science fiction: teleportation. The hero, David Rice played by Hayden Christensen, jumps around not in time but anywhere from one place on the planet to another. The gold...

GTA IV critics ignorant to games reality.
2008-04-30 04:33:00 News.com has a great summary of the perennial furor over the Grand Theft Auto series, especially regarding its latest installment, GTA IV. GTA IV has been receiving 10/10 and 5 star scores left and right, and has been nearly universally praised for having a more likable lead character, who actually exhibits a sense of morality (at times). The lead character also is given the option at times to NOT perform heinous acts (within the first hour of the game, the player has the option to not throw a certain enemy off a roof, and instead save his life).The post also helps explain what a ridiculously poor example of a lawyer that Jack Thompson is (Thompson's license to practice is under review by the Florida Bar Association).Here's the post:To many in the video game industry, the two words "Jack" and "Thompson" engender horror and disgust.Thompson, a self-appointed uber-critic of the industry, has spent the last few years railing away at games he deems too full of sex or violence.
