It's an odd situation when you are not only a member of the Writers Guild and want to support your fellow writers, but you're also the showrunner of the show you write for. Tina Fey is in that situation at 30 Rock, though she's been on the picket lines from the beginning.
Another producer who is in that situation is Carlton Cuse over at Lost. There were mysterious rumors (just like Lost itself!) going around the industry that Cuse had actually gone back to work on the show. To make sure there was no confusion as to where he stands, Cuse sent out an e-mail to everyone explaining everything.

Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford has told Eurogamer that the Second World War remains a rich vein of material for videogames - but he also believes that moving to a different era was the right decision for Infinity Ward's Call of Duty series.
The third game in Gearbox's Brothers In Arms series, Hell's Highway, is nearing completion and is due to launch next year. It will cover the pivotal Operation Market Garden period of World War 2 - and speaking with Eurogamer, Pitchford hinted broadly that this will not be the developer's last fling with the conflict.
"We have to sit down and think about what we're doing next," he cautioned, "but I'm really interested in World War II, and I expect to spend a lot of time there."

Home Media Magazine has published the year to date sales according to Nielsen leading up to Nov 11th, 2007.
On page one you have the pie chart showing the year to date High Def Market Share. BD Leads HD-DVD 66:34.
One Page 11, you have the ratios of the best selling titles so far in the High Def Market. Again, the ratios work by seeing what is the top selling title and then the others are relative to that. So if the number one spot sold X number of copies then second spot sold X times the percentage ratio of second place.
1. 300 BD - 100.00
2. Transformers HD-DVD - 67.57
3. 300 HD-DVD - 52.84
4. Casino Royale BD - 51.83
5. The Departed BD - 33.79
6. POTC:DMC BD - 33.68
7. Planet Earth HD-DVD - 30.71
8. POTC:COBP BD - 29.79
9. Planet Earth BD - 29.19
10. Apocalypto BD - 26.70
First glance shows 7 BD titles in top ten versus 3 HD-DVD titles. 300 was the highest selling aggregate title. Transformers being an HD-DVD exclusive clearly has had an affect. What is surprising is the small ratio difference between planet earth hd-dvd and bd. Previously it was believed to be selling much higher on hd-dvd.
The mStation 2.1 Stereo Orb is a one-piece speaker and docking system for iPods -- and other devices. While it looks more or less like a colored bowling ball, it is actually a decent compact stereo system available in seven spiffy colors. Technically, there are two 2-inch front-facing drivers, a 3-inch rear-facing subwoofer, and a 30 watt power amplifier inside the Orb.

Given just how far
VUDU has been getting into the custom install game, it's no shock at all to see it produce a set-top-box that's less
STB and more integrator-friendly. The 1U rack-mountable XL2 sports a classic black motif and plays nice with systems from leading control and automation manufacturers such as Crestron, Logitech, Netstreams, Nevo and Philips. You'll be able to enjoy the spoils of integrated IP / IR control, a 1TB internal hard drive, optical / coaxial / RCA audio outputs and an HDMI port. Sadly, the XL2 can't be purchased online, meaning you'll have to coax a
local installer to sell you one for $1,299.

Advchk is a tool for monitoring the security of installed software. Advisory Check gathers security advisories using RSS/RDF/XML feeds, compares them against a list of known software, and alerts you if you're vulnerable. Since adding software lists by hand would be quite a boring task, advchk leverages your system's package manager for detecting software. Software installed on remote systems can be monitored by executing the remote package manager as an SSH ForcedCommand using Public-key authentication.
License: BSD License (revised)
Changes:
The tool now checks for the touch command in /usr/local/bin and /usr/bin in addition to /bin.

Reuters
documents the Japanese PS3
frenzy, saying that the console sold nearly all of its stock -- 88,400 units -- in its first two days. Just over 60 percent moved were the 60GB version, but we expect gamers were just buying whatever was available.
But what games do the Japanese players want?
Mobile Suit Gundam: Target in Sight and
Ridge Racer 7 are the hottest titles, selling about 30,000 each. While other launch titles are picking up the slack, it sounds like Japanese gamers are spending most of their money on the console and not on games.
The PS3 already supports
video downloads in Japan, so that audience may see it as a rounded entertainment system -- or a Blu-ray player. We're interested in how the number of games sold per-console averages out in different parts of the world.

This is not one game, but rather two. One is the main title, Dracula X Chronicles. It has a second side, the original game with none of the upgrades given, so that doesn?t count as an entirely separate game, though it really is. The second, or third for the picky, is the highly acclaimed Symphony of the Night, featuring badass son-of-a-Dracula Alucard. DXC is the main game and indeed, this is easy to see because to play the other two they must be found within DXC itself. Some may complain about this, for reasons that will be discussed shortly, though it is not difficult to unlock these extra games.

There's a rumor going around stemming from Microsoft's emails last night informing people of the Zune 2 features that the upcoming players/software update will bring video sharing. We spoke with Microsoft and they told us that no, the new Zunes cannot transfer video from device to device, putting this rumor into out of commission before it starts snowballing into something crazy like Zunes ending the WGA strike.
Also, in case people forgot, Zune Social is the name of their cool new social networking site where you can see what your friends have been listening, to as well as check out stats under each band to see who's listened to them the most. Prepare to see our names under Pat Benatar.

Once a band starts incorporating "world" influences, the slippery slide toward the jam circuit, wonky new age solo projects, and votive candles at the merch table often begins. Fortunately for us,
Iron & Wine's Sam Beam braved such territory with subtlety and an ear for solid tunes, so we got
The Shepherd's Dog instead of a sequel to
"Brand New Day".
And so, to go along with the announcement of Beam and co.'s European 2008 trek that will follow their currently scheduled UK and U.S. dates, we say, "Go forth, Iron & Wine! See the world! Incorporate its influences! Extract from it new songs that you can use to soundtrack your eventual Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech."
Until then, Iron & Wine will keep touring. They next play London tomorrow, October 31.

Wii music. Many a core gamer scoff at the mere mention of it. But did you know that there are similarities between Wii Music and, of all things, Zelda? MTV Multiplayer recently brought up a similarity between a section of Majora's Mask (the milk bar performance) and Miyamoto's new "Musical Toy" in an interview with the man himself. It is interesting, considering the dismissal the title faces amongst the core players, but will it do anything to raise these gamers' opinion? Probably not.
More inside.
Portuguese website LusoPlay reports that: "Where stops The Getaway 3, or even Eight Days? It should be a question of many fans and beyond. These were two games that caused furor at the disclosure of their video presentation. But a silence pairou on its production.
But now that new information came to the top, and succeeded Lusoplay.com know something more envelopes these titles. The source is safe, so everything is extremely unique.

We have details of the production of The Getaway 3, title under development by Team Soho, under the supervision of Sony Europe. The state of development is already advanced, and now the whole structure of the environment and scenarios finalized. The team now turns to the structure of the story and the whole plot, as well as the "gameplay.
Our source ensures that the game is equal to the level graphic video shown at GDC 2006, which shows the quality of the game in real time.
Much expectation exists around, especially The Getaway 3, and the LusoPlay.com is on top of information and when new information emerged, or even images or videos will be the first to know.
They want to know the release date? For the forecasts will be 2 Quarter of 2008".
