Showrunners At Work - Television showrunners reported to work pretty much proving the strike is over except for dotting the i's which should occur on Tuesday's member vote. This in turn means the writer's should be reporting to work by Wednesday.
Was the Strike Worth It? - Variety asks was the 3 month strike and the loss in revenue worth the gains from the new agreement. From what I read, the summary is yes if you’re a newbie writer and no if you have regular writing gig.
TV Season Changes - With the strike over, the remaining television season will be quite brief with an average of only 4 new episodes to possible to produce in the time remaining. As such, it’s possible that many shows will simply bank those episodes and roll them into the fall season. This could also bring the death knell to bubble shows as the networks decide they are simply not worth the trouble to pay out for such a truncated season. In addition, the aborted pilot season means that the networks will have to order carefully since they will not have the usual pilot episodes to base decisions off of which will probably lead to fewer shows premiering next season.
Android Demo - Gizmodo has posted a brief demo of the Android OS that Google and its partners are creating for the smart phone market, basically a cheaper alternative to the iPhone. So far I am not impressed but this is still at least a year away from release.
