This is obviously a fake Fredbird costume, with numerous differences from the official version. The dead giveaway is the hat, while worn by the Cardinals players occasionally, has never been photographed on the official Fredbird who has worn the same throwback red “STL” cap since the 1960s. Another key difference is…
As long as we're detailing the best NHL rivalries, the Blues vs Blackhawks games are always the best matchups, especially as the two teams always seem to rise and fall in tandem in terms of competitiveness.
I was going to say the same thing. If a video was available, why didn't they just embed the video so we can see the eye-candy in full-motion glory?
http://youtu.be/29040917 Found this video on Gizmodo (from last year) I think might be helpful for anyone trying to understand the TV ratings and how they work...
Actually, that's exactly what @VorpalMonkey is saying: Nielsen's demographic data is all about who is watching in the room, not just how many live in the household. It's my understanding they measure the the age/gender demos very closely, even when guests come over to watch TV.
Word, people forget that "who is watching" is a lot more important than the number of viewers. At least from an advertising perspective the demographic data is what makes it valueable.
I'd imagine privacy would be a major concern in using this data. I also think we tend to overestimate what kind of tech people use for watching TV, so using that kind of data wouldn't be very representative.
According to the news story you linked, TV ratings and this new metric will be separate measurements, each designed to analyze each relevant audience. If we learned anything from the last election, it's that good samples (ie those using Nielsen boxes) can make accurate projections. Anyone saying otherwise doesn't…
Better yet, jump on this thread and make your own caption https://canv.as/p/vsxhj/reply/1483832
I've been using the old rabbit ears a few years, and so far every time I try replacing them with a newer, fancier amplified antenna, I always end up returning the product. At least the rabbit ears are easier to aim towards the broadcasting towers in the crowded airwaves of NYC. And from everything I can tell between…
Been using GetGlue for a couple years now, and while I'm not sure the Check-in concept is a good fit for everyone (my own experiences at http://www.matthewhurst.com/2012/04/tv-by-the-numbers-measuring-my-viewing-habits-online/), IMO the personalized recommendations are worth using GetGlue. Not to mention using the app…
Signed up for Twitter of my own free will in Sept 2007, after some of my blogging friends wouldn't stop talking about it. Convinced a few of my friends to sign-up for it, but didn't get much use for it until more people signed up in 2009.
As you point out in the post, real-time tracking apps would only work with an active internet connection, which unlike some other metros in the US, the NYC MTA usually doesn't have service underground. However there are any number of great subway schedule apps, and here's a review I wrote about my favorite, called…
According to the local news, the shuttle's trip up the Hudson is tentatively delayed, at least until Wednesday, so there is still time to catch the journey from Manhattan [gothamist.com]
Actually the speaker include a 3.5 input for line-in sound from my laptop, and it sounds great using other input sources. The net effect is a big sound from a tiny box, perfect for my small apartment.
I'll never forget the LAN party I was asked to put up funds for 15 cases of Bawls caffeinated beverages (that's 24 packs * 15 cases = 360 bottles) for a LAN party of around a dozen people. I only came home with 2 cases, so you do the math of how much caffeine was consumed over the 48 hours gaming session...

I just got an iPhone case with a kickstand, and keep it similarly close to the monitor for quick checks of status updates on Twitter, SMS, and the aformentioned phone calls...
Given Gawker's recent history with passwords, isn't this a bit like a pot calling the kettle black? At least losing my password on one network won't cost people money, although I'd be upset either way.
