  • Chromecast is played out

    On sunday, my mom called me because she was unable cast her favorite british tv show on her TV. After an hour of troubleshooting, I find out the outage is worldwide. 24 hours later, still no fix. Nice try Google, but we won’t be switching to Google TV anytime soon.

  • Your Big Screen TV is Playedout

    After much tergiversations, it’s now safe to say that the revolution WILL be televised.

    BEIJING, CHINA – JANUARY 23: The LED screen shows the blue sky on the Tiananmen Square at dangerous levels of air pollution on January 23, 2013 in Beijing, China. The air quality in Beijing on Wednesday hit serious levels again, as smog blanketed the city. (Photo by Feng Li/Getty Images)

    Context: Being that Beijing is so clouded in smog, they started broadcasting the sunrise on giant TV screens.

  • Time is played out

    I feel bad not posting for 3 days. In between work and a wedding, I must admit that most of the time spent in front of my computer this weekend was dedicated to the season 5 of TV serie LOST currently airing on ABC I downloaded on ThePirateBay.org*… Watching episode 11,  it struck me. Why not post back in time like they do in LOST !  So here it is. And if you were not in yet on thepiratebay hint, you’re in for a jewel of a torrent tracker and true “up yours copyrights !” manifesto. 

    *I don’t feel bad about downloading TV shows, but I do sometimes feel way a little too geek when watching HEROES… And posting back in time… I could have watched it on the official site, if I lived in the states, but I’m in Canada. OK OK I know I could have used this to get around the site’s geolocalisation software that blocks my connection… But I prefer having em on my desktop and not worry about sloppy internet connection while streaming, or even no access to the interwebs at all. That being said, a bright flash and strident sound should occur now and bring you back in your prefered space / time continuum.
