Love Classic TV? 4 Websites For Your Time Traveling Tube
We all know that modern television just can't beat classic TV shows. You have to love the melodramatic acting, the cocky charm and wit, and the innocent story-lines (golly-gee-willikers, right?) Yes, I know I'm generalizing a bit. However, I think we can all agree that classic television has something special about it, and no, I'm not talking about the not-so-subtly placed product placements.

Geeks are fairly well represented on television. Sure, some shows - even those listed below - are aimed at the mainstream and therefore represent geeks as being spotty, scruffy ne'er-do-wells that live in their parents' basements, but in general geeks are shown as role models or important people who give something positive to society. Which, as geeks ourselves, we all know we do.

How To Output Video From A PC Or A Laptop To A TV
The computer is one of the most versatile video players ever invented. It can play discs, various files or stream video from the web. There’s little that isn’t available on a PC, and if something is off limits its usually due to DRM and not the hardware. Yet the PC has always felt strangely isolated from other devices, including those that are designed to display video.
8 of the Funniest BBC Comedies of All Time [Stuff to Watch]
British comedy is typified by dry wit, slapstick visuals and strong comic actors. BBC comedy should, in theory, take the best of what is already a strong bunch and highlight the very best - and that’s what I’ve tried to do here. All of these shows can still have you in fits of laughter to this day.

Why Hulu’s Cable Subscription Requirement Is A Harbinger Of Things To Come [Opinion]
An alarming New York Post article has stirred up a hornet’s nest by suggesting that Hulu will be slowly moving towards a business model that requires authentication.

Take TvTropes With You Anywhere With The DroidTropes App [Android]
Across all forms of fictional media, there are certain similarities and archetypes that pop up time and time again. The damsel in distress. The flawed anti-hero. The wise old mentor.

3 Funny RPG Video Remakes Of Today's Most-Watched TV Series
I am a huge sucker for RPGs and video games in general. One thing I've never been too big on, though, are television series. I'm the only one. Dexter, Band of Brothers, The Wire, Firefly, etc.; there are lots of them and you're all watching. But I just can't keep up. What I can buy some time to definitely do is watch a short RPG remake of an episode or summary of the series. Now you've got all of my nerd attention.

Watch TV shows and movies from Hulu without leaving the comfort of your couch. If you've got an XBMC media center you'd be silly to not install this plugin (assuming you live in the US: Hulu is still blocked in all other countries).

Is Netflix The Solution to Video Piracy? [Opinion]
Netflix recently launched in the UK - and I wrote up a full and shining review of the service last time. It offers an affordable way to get high quality on-demand movies and TV straight into your living room (or any portable device). My question today is - is Netflix the ultimate solution to piracy? Our generation has grown up believing everything should be instant access. But the industry hasn't adapted.
The End of Boxee on the Desktop & What to Use Instead
Boxee fans - it's over. There may be more fun to have with the Boxee Box, but Boxee on the desktop isn't coming back.
