Interesting Stuff 2009-02-17
Did you watch the rugby at the weekend? Message board user 'battlingbot' did, and got a bit of a snotty surprise:
Just watching the rugby match with wales v england and the referee just blew snot out of both his nostrils in Full High Definition and Dolby Sound Effects and in close up.

The Points of View message board goes on -- and shows no sign of slowing down just yet. Ex-³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ man Martin Belam :
It is a fascinating online cultural smash, but, the fundamental problem still for me seems to be that just because the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ can do a board dedicated to general chit-chat about TV, should it? It has never really been clear to me what the POV users get on bbc.co.uk that they couldn't get on the message boards at Digital Spy or UK Nova."
And as I write this, Martin has :
The only real reason for having a Points Of View messageboard is if programme makers and executives engage with the views expressed there. If it isn't going to be able to achieve that, then it isn't great value for the rest of us who are paying the Licence Fee to subsidise a chat forum for the 50 or so regular users there."
Over on the iLabs Blog, ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ software engineer James Parkin reminds everyone that you can get rid of the (potentially) annoying 'Press Red' logo on your TV:
