LG recently showed off an upcoming new model for its popular line of flatscreen TVs: seamless. That’s right, there’s no frame around the screen.

The SL80 and SL90 models blend the bezel, LCD screen, and speakers into one, solid piece of hardware. The SL90 produces a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio — a new high water mark for LG — and the thing is freakishly thin at just 1.15 inches. It has a 240Hz refresh rate and an ambient light sensor to automatically adjust brightness. The SL80 has the same set of features but uses a flourescent backlight, which drops the contrast to …read more

I’ve been a TiVo subscriber since Christmas of 2004. I was a fan of the service before that, but had just never purchased a unit yet. For Christmas 2004 my wife and I decided that we would get a TiVo and service as a gift to each other. Perhaps one of the best gifts we’ve ever received from one another.

The challenge recently is that through my migration from Comcast and now to AT&T U-verse, I already have a DVR that’s included with my cable TV package. I think the TiVo functionality still trounces the other DVR functionality, but TiVo has …read more

ECBTv has been up and running for a little while now, and seeing as a lot of people come to this site to find out how to view cricket on their PC, I did a little more research. The first thing that struck me, is that the ECBTv website is out of date – it’s still telling you that you can subscribe to watch England vs Pakistan, which has obviously finished. Secondly though, I was struck by a notice that said “live coverage is not available in your area”. Interesting. Read the small print and it becomes a lot more …read more

Shane Warne is once again in the news for something other than cricket, and this time it’s nothing to do with his allegedly lascivious extra-Cricketicular (get it?) activities. Nope, once again his image is at stake – specifically his hair.
An advert for a hair-loss treatment featuring Shane Warne has been found in breach of industry rules.
His appearance in the Advanced Hair Studio advert was seen as celebrity endorsement of a treatment which uses medicine.
After getting banned in 2003 for failing a drugs test (claiming his “mum” told him to take it) you’d think he might be a bit more careful. …read more

England started the Sri Lanka test series with some confident batting. After Freddie successfully called the toss and elected to bat, Trescothick and Strauss did a good job of getting the England innings underway. Strauss fell on 48 on the last ball before lunch, England on 87-1. When play resumed in the afternoon, newbie Alastair Cook showed little sign of nerves as he hit a stunning 87. Trescothick looked his usual best, thwapping a century before being dismissed by Murali. Cook was dismissed late in the day to bring Matthew Hoggard in as night watchman, to join England poser Kevin …read more

I for one am getting thoroughly confused. I’ve been that busy recently that I’ve been a little slack on keeping up with what’s going on in the cricket world. So you can imagine my bewilderment. Brian Lara was captain of the West Indies, was crap, so wasn’t anymore. The he was again, was again crap, and wasn’t again. And goshdarnit if he’s not captain of the West Indies for a third time. It’s true. So how long before they again realise he’s still a crap captain and he gets the arse?
But that’s not all. Because last time I checked, Shahid …read more

It’s looking less and less likely. The BBC today announced plans to phase out 48-year old Grandstand the staple of any sporting enthusiasts television diet. Having covered epic sporting encounters such as the 1966 World Cup final, the BBC is where I first started watching cricket – when there was actually test coverage on the BBC.
In those days, the England team was made up of Graham Gooch, Allan Lamb, Mike Gatting and David Gower. We had fast bowlers like Derek Pringle and Neil Foster. The Australian side was as good (if not better) than it is today, with the likes …read more
