Tiger not getting the Wood

This article is about Tiger Woods remaing EA's cover athlete
Tiger Woods' recent fall from grace has been a well-publicized circus. Countless rumors of him cheating on his ex wife with hookers, pornstars and various other ugly slags, and falling from the number one spot for golfers in the world to fifty-fifth, his name has been something of a poison for companies, as evidenced by several sponsors pulling him from their ads and dropping him from their brands. EA, however, will not take that route (at least not completely)
The last issue of their sports sim Tiger Woods' PGA Tour 12 did not feature Tiger as the cover athlete for the first time ever. Instead EA opted for a flag. Many fans of the series wondered whether Tiger would be dropped completely form their brand, but EA has announced they will not take the easy way out. Instead, they held an online vote for who will be joining Tiger on the cover art of the next PGA game.

The Android Acting Like An Android

This acticle is about the new Android software Iris

I guess now that Steve Job's is dead, people are even less shameful about their copying of Apple. The Android, hanging onto the coattails of the iPhone tighter than Luigi, now has a "new" software for its phone called, creatively enough, Iris (in case you don't realize, that's Siri spelled backward). The software was created in just eight hours by the development team at Dexetra.com.
 Now, before any of you Apple fanboys get up-in-arms, the devs did announce this new software was directly influenced by Siri. More like completely stolen, by hey, Apple can wipe their tears with their billions of dollars. This is just another example of a great idea being mainstream, and the eventual hyenas coming and tearing at the bloody scraps.

Person of Interest - Summary

After three episodes of the wildly anticipated Person of Interest, I can't seem to get a good grasp of the show. The action is great, but this isn't built as an action show. The dialogue can get a bit preachy at times, and Reese is a one-dimnesional character who isn't very interesting to listen to. Finch is the saving grace of the show, but even he feels stale. The past episode gave me some great hope, though, in the form of M. Elias, who seems like he will be the major antagonist of the series for a while. The show needs to stop holding its viewers hands (it is supposed to be an intellectual drama), and let people figure things out for themselves. I will continue to watch it, as I'm still interested in where the series will go, and it still has great potential overall.

Person of Interest - Mission Creep

The third episode of the best new show on TV premiered, and continued the strong start to the new series. Mission Creep is an episode following Reese as he infiltrates a bank robing gang in order to save one of its members. The gang is a unit of soldiers from Afghanistan, led by a former Marine. The man who's number came up, Joey, is in the gang because he feels guilty of letting one of his fellow soldiers do his partol, which ultimately led to his death. Joey feels guilt, and he is using his share of the money to pay for the soldier's daughter to be put through school. The episode continued the upward trend this show has been producing the past three episodes. It had a great mix of action and drama, and a heartwrenching story of a man who is in over his head, dealing with bad people for a good cause. At the end of the episode, the show gives us a thread that can later be built upon, the name M. Elias, who has a connection to the deaths of the gang.

Blockbuster returns - with a whimper

This article is about the return of Blockbuster

Blockbuster was run out of business for failing to keep up with the changing landscape of movie rentals. Netflix was the primary reason for the fall of the once iconic company, but its own doing may bring them down. When Netflix raised the prices of its services, it lost many of its once loyal fanbase. Now, with those people searching for a new service, Blockbuster rises from its ashes like a sickly phoenix about to keel over again.
Dish recently bought out the name of Blockbuster and is now using its renown to fill their own wallets. They claim Blockbuster's new service plan is the most comprehensive entertainment package ever. And it really would be, if Dish weren't such idiots. With their new plan, customers can get unlimited DVD, Blu-ray and videogame rentals and unlimited streaming, all for under $10 a month. However, the one huge catch is you must be a Dish subscriber to get access. Yes, so in order to get the best entertainment package eve,r you must bear with the worst cable provider of the "Big Three". Nice going, Dish.

Person of Interest: Ghost

The second episode of Person of Interest premiered Thursday. The episode, entitled "Ghost", was a much greater improvement earlier than I expected in the season. The episode started off fast, with Reese protecting a man from two hired assassins in an elevator, and that was only the prologue.
The crime this week was trying to prevent the murder of a girl believed to be killed by her father with the rest of her family two years ago. A land developing company had been trying to get land off of Teresa's father, and in the process hired a man to kill him and his family, and framed it as a murder-suicide. More flashbacks about Finch's past was a great change of pace from the action oriented episode, and introducing an antagonist, albeit only for this one episode, gave Reese someone who he struggled to beat.
