Some genius products - Rejected Star Wars Promotional Crap. Alex is a little sad that these don't exist, as he'd love a Han Frozen in Carbonite mini-fridge. The best concept of them all is the Death Star grill.

Wait, so the dancing Elmo thing, doesn't it run on batteries? So they could put one of those nano-fiber shits on it, and it could dance forever? Now that would be sweet.
And I love how Kevin quetions what you could possibly do without alcohol in Dubai... but I agree.

Hulu is pretty sweet. I don't have cable and I live in a black hole when it comes to over the air stations. I've watched quite a few episodes using it. I've got a few invites left if anyone wants one. Just PM me your email address so I can send it out

It is called HULU. It is a video site that FOX and NBC developed together to put there shows online to watch for free. I think it is still in private BETA, but you can sign up for it and they will send you a invite in a few weeks. It is worth checking out. They do have small ads during the show, but it is free to watch. Cheaper then buying it on Itunes.

"Does anyone know what Alex is saying about forty minutes in to the show, during the bit torrent tangent? it sould like "hubu" (or maybe "hooboo"); he kind of suggest it to Kevin about downloading shows...
If I knew IPA, I'd play along with you at home..."
Alex says Hulu. Hulu.com is NBC and Fox's joint project for airing shows on the net.

No way, they stayed at the Westin right by the stadium? Before they opened that hotel, that building used to be Manhattan Coffee Co., and my dad worked there for years! Awesome! :)

I laughed at Kevin idea about "open source" gambling to prove that they're not cheating. It's not as if gambling sites need to cheat. People that visit gambling sites need to cheat and make money.
The beauty of the casino business is the strong law of large numbers. As long as the odds a given game are slightly in favor of the house, the house will always make money given a large enough amount of traffic. That is, if you stay long enough in a casino, you will always lose money. The only people that can make money casino gambling is to cheat the odds by counting cards or pass-posting. The house can run a 100% honest game and still cart away trucks full of cash.

This the first episode i watch in 720p. A note to anybody who's not doing this, it's such a treat, the show looks and sounds great.
All my future Diggens are going to be in HD.
