in TV Review: Battlestar Galactica Season 4.5 Premiere - What Did You Think? on /Film
1 - The whiteboard is actually not too inefficient. All they have to do is track how many people died (and were born) everyday and then update the total. I'd assume that all the captains would make a report immediately if someone died or gave birth of their ship.

2 - Was the FRAK EARTH graffiti the first time we're seen FRAK written out in the show?

3 - Gaeta, the other minor-but-important-voice in the CIC, seems to be breaking down in an even more interesting way. I really hope they'll continue to fuck with his character.

4 - I refuse to believe that Ellen is the thirteenth Cylon model. It feels too disconnected and feels like a red herring. But then again, when BSG characters make a revelation they are almost 100% right.

scott I think by revealing Ellen is the 13th, it makes whatever happened with Starbuck that much more interesting.
Devindra I sort of dig the cosmic love story it creates for Ellen/Tigh, and it does sort of make sense the more you think about it. Recall one of the first scenes in the miniseries was Starbuck/Tigh fighting about Ellen ;)

in Why Doesn’t Emusic Carry Over Unused Tracks Every Month? on The Far Side of Tech
Yup, what Jaxon said was exactly what eMusic explained to its users when it switched to the song/month model. Many people were unhappy, it seems.

The problem I have with eMusic is that it's not weird enough. It's the most indie-friendly music download service out there as far as I know, but it's nowhere near comprehensive enough.

in Who the Heck is Going to Buy the $599 80GB Playstation 3? on The Far Side of Tech
The kind of people who got a PS3 on launch day, not for eBay?
The kind of people who are just too damn rich?
The kind of people who are stupid?
Sony executives? (See above.)

in On The Palm Foleo (What the Hell Were They Thinking?) & Asus Eee on The Far Side of Tech
The best thing about the Foleo is that it works wonderfully (supposedly) with the smartphones. I'm sure that many smartphone using people would love the "flip open device, do internet things" concept. Why not make it an USB addon or a piece of software available for normal laptops?

in How Price Comparison Site Results in Google Hurt Consumers on The Far Side of Tech
Angela, the thing about price comparison sites is that they offer price comparisons. Sometimes (most often) I don't want that. In fact I only want the price of something at the end of my purchase-making decision. They just shouldn't show up when I Google for a review or other articles. The worst thing they do, as Devindra said, is that they mascarade themselves as review sites, and that is not only annoying but also wrong.
