Pork and Beans video, OpenCable, Monster Cable Again, and Hulk

Pork and Beans Video - A new music video from Weezer that managed to collect many of the recent internet Memes that have hit the internet over the years such as the "Such As" girl, the Britney guy, Chocolate Rain guy and many others.


Cable Boxes Going Away? - Sony has announced its joined tru2way or OpenCable that the several electronic manufactures and most of the cable companies have already joined. Open Cable is basically a standard that allows the TV's to have the software need to act as cable boxes for handling VOD, programming guides and other activities that currently require a separate box. Sounds like good news to me.

Monster Cable Sues Monster Golf - Monster cable, the company that assumes you are so stupid you will pay 1000% over regular prices for cable just because they claim they are better but can't prove it, are now suing another company for having the name "Monster" in their title. Their claim is brand confusion. Considering that buying their stuff does make you stupid they make have a point on their customers getting confused but that doesn't make it right. Maybe they should check out this list of other things labeled Monster and sue them too. Monster Cable is a company that needs to go out of business ASAP but probably be around for a long time to come.

Hulk Editing Write-Ups - AICN and Dark Horizons have each written articles that describe their visit to watch the editing of The Incredible Hulk. If your sitting on the fence about the movie, might be worth watching as it makes the movie seem far more interesting then the commercials have.
