I saw this on Google News and went to check it out, but got annoyed quickly when I couldn't search all four engines at once with collated results. It can't be that hard to do.
That would be MetaCrawler. It checks many different search engines are returns the results from all of them combined.
Zap2It also has details: The Cartoon Network will soon expand its "Adult Swim" block of animation for grown-ups (in age, anyway) to five nights a week.
Starting Sunday, Jan. 12, the two-hour block of comedies and Japanese anime will air at 11 p.m. ET Sunday through Thursday. Adult Swim currently airs only on Sundays and Thursdays.
At the same time, "Futurama" will makes its Cartoon Network debut as part of the block. The cable channel recently acquired rights to all 72 episodes of the Emmy-winning series (it returns to FOX Nov. 10), which will air at 11 p.m. Monday-Thursday.
"Since we began Adult Swim, the goal was to build it into an across-the-schedule franchise," says Jim Samples, Cartoon Network's executive vice president and general manager. "Now we have the depth in our Adult Swim programming portfolio to make it happen."
Sunday's lineup will be devoted to comedies, with "The Oblongs" at 11 p.m., "Mission Hill" at 11:30 and "The Ripping Friends" at midnight. The 12:30 a.m. slot will feature a rotation of Cartoon Network originals "Aqua Teen Hunger Force," "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law," "The Brak Show" and "Sealab 2021."
In addition to "Futurama," the weeknight slate features "Home Movies" at 11:30, "InuYasha" at midnight and "Cowboy Bebop" at 12:30 a.m
The article talks about how Tony Hawk has a special PS2 that will play anything he burns. Game-makers FTP him games, he burns them and plays them as a beta-tester. Do I have to learn how to skateboard to get that job?
when trying to mail a picture, I couldn't return and send the picture... I ended up having to actually go to the pictures, and choose mail picture instead of writing an email and attaching it there.
All you have to do is hit the menu button while composing a message... There is an "Attach Picture" option right on the menu.
I believe that the flat rate for unlimited megabytes turns back into a flat rate for 15 megabytes/month then 3.50 dollars for 1 additional megabyte after 1 year.
Basically the consensus is that this whole 'unlimited' thing is an experiment of sorts, and the provider thinks that most people will end up using less than 5MB per month (because of the way webpages are reformatted before being sent over the air to the device), but they put that clause in there in case they are wrong and people actually use a lot more bandwidth.
After they get a year to watch how much people *really* use, they will probably tweak all their plans anyway.
Pumatech has signed an agreement with Danger that will enable users of Hiptop enabled devices to synchronize personal information with desktop applications such as Microsoft Outlook.
Generally they just show the same stuff over and over and over again for months on end. They definitely need more content.
Just because they are showing Star Wars doesn't mean that the other films go away. They may only show Star Wars at night (when the museum itself is closed) and show the standard documentary museum stuff during the day.
It's not like the video is always on... It is never on when you first answer the phone, and you only need to turn it on when you want to give someone your complete attention, but you can leave it off when you are busy with something else.
Apparently Cartoon Network said that there are negotiations going on between Fox and Cartoon Network for the reruns of Futurama, not new episodes. We can hope that if the reruns do well, that they might produce new episodes, but that is not what they are currently talking about.
Question for Alton: Is it really true that you made butter from breast milk?
No, this isn't some sort of troll... I heard from his own mouth (at the San Jose book signing) that he had tried making butter out of breast milk after his wife had a baby, but I'd like to hear more behind the story
Where are the kitchen scenes from seasons 1 to 4 shot? They are shot in a real home in the Atlanta area but the house does not belong to Alton.
Where are the kitchen scenes from season 5 and on? Beginning with season #5, Alton's own production company, Be Squared, began shooting Good Eats. My sources say that they purchased a real house--also in the Atlanta area--solely for use by his company. No one actually lives there.

Note that the "new" season of Futurama isn't quite new... The show is still just as cancelled as before.
Fox just has a few un-aired episodes that were produced a while ago, but still haven't been shown yet.
NAMBLA Says "No Thanks" To Microsoft ....
No, we're the North American Marlon Brando Look Alikes.
I thought this already worked... You can load up the AIM client and add the Number (not nickname) of an ICQ user as buddy.

No, you just need a mod chip and some warez sitez.

More discussion here.
Circuit City has a $100 rebate on it
Actually its CompUSA, not Circuit City. CC doesn't even carry the Sidekick.
Pumatech has signed an agreement with Danger that will enable users of Hiptop enabled devices to synchronize personal information with desktop applications such as Microsoft Outlook.
Given that it lacks a "|" key, it'd be tricky to get some stuff done that way anyway
Use can still use a pipe "|" even if its not on the keyboard... Check the Danger Info Forums to see how.
From who? What service can I get? Where can I get coverage? Why something? When can I get it?
You can get the Sidekick from T-Mobile today.
For information on the service, coverage, and where to get it, see their website.
Sounds like TLC's Junkyard War's spinoff Escape from Experiment Island.
is the IMAX ever idle?
Generally they just show the same stuff over and over and over again for months on end. They definitely need more content.
Just because they are showing Star Wars doesn't mean that the other films go away. They may only show Star Wars at night (when the museum itself is closed) and show the standard documentary museum stuff during the day.
This isn't just the "standard" film on a big screen. The whole point of the article is about the Imax re-formatting of it.
Many IMAX screens are actually in science museums. I assume the museums will get a cut of the ticket sales... that can only be a Good Thing(TM).
It's not like the video is always on... It is never on when you first answer the phone, and you only need to turn it on when you want to give someone your complete attention, but you can leave it off when you are busy with something else.
Unfortunately, digging underground is not allowed.
That is originally from an old Dead Alewives sketch.

From the Good Eats Fan Page FAQ:
There is an informative article on the OQO "Ultrapersonal" PC at http://sg.biz.yahoo.com/020702/15/304wm.html
Actually they would need 1920x1080 to display HDTV in its full glory.
