Be Very Afraid: The Cable-ization of Online Life Is Upon Us
Just imagine trying to run a business that is utterly dependent on a single delivery network ? a gatekeeper ? that can make up the rules on the fly and knows you have nowhere else to go. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings is feeling just this way. He's trying to get Americans to care about Comcast's power to exempt "first class" streaming video delivered to Xboxes from its monthly internet usage caps.

Are You Geek or Nerd?
Apparently, 17% of Americans self-identify as geeks: do you? I used to think that the words 'geek' and 'nerd' were synonymous, but colored subtly different depending on whether you were American, Australian or British (generally I believed 'nerd' was more accpetable outside the US). But there's more to it; as this great infographic from http://www.mastersinit.org demonstrates.

Will Theaters Bite at Hobbit's Superior Cinema?
Fast-Frame <em>Hobbit</em> Dangles Prospect of Superior Cinema, But Will Theaters Bite?
Director Peter Jackson is pushing the envelope with his highly anticipated fantasy film, shooting The Hobbit at 48 frames per second. It will become the first fast-frame 3-D wide release when it premieres this December, but will it be enough to make theater operators upgrade their equipment?

Jay Grace, Senior Animation Supervisor at Aardman Animations
Dream Jobs You've Never Heard Of: Senior Animation Supervisor
Jay Grace has a very cool job. As a Senior Animation Supervisor at Aardman Animations, he works on some of the best stop-motion animation films being produced today. In a world that has quickly become dominated by computer animated hits from Pixar and Disney ? and even Aardman itself ? it may seem quaint to be creating animated feature films using a technique that's almost as old as film itself; akin to making a black & white feature films. Yet the appeal of stop motion pictures is undeniable.

Comic Collection Tips from a Real Comic Book Man
Comic Collection Tips from a Real Comic Book Man
With Comic Book Men just finishing up its first season on AMC, and the recent news of a long lost comic book collection selling for $3.5 million, my curiosity about comic collecting has been piqued. My own collection is modest, with just a few graphic novels and random issues, but I recently made my first purchase of a "collectible" for a whopping eight dollars. I decided I needed to talk to an expert about making these first forays into buying and selling comics.

GQ Profiles Bored, Depressed Hollywood Hacker
The Hollywood Hacker, the guy behind the leaked nude photos of Scarlett Johansson, wreaked havoc on a number of celebrity's lives. But in a profile in GQ, Chris Chaney is portrayed not as a malicious villain but as some dude -- a kind of sad dude -- who was depressed and bored and living in his grandmother's house when he realized that he could guess (guess) actors' email passwords, and live vicariously in a world far more interesting than his own.

The Hobbit Will Fundamentally Change Your Movie-Going Experience
<cite>The Hobbit</cite> Will Fundamentally Change Your Movie-Going Experience
According to an article over at the Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming release of The Hobbit will be the catalyst that finally drives movie theaters to upgrade their projection hardware to 48 frames-per-second (fps) or better. The current theater playback technology supports 24fps, a standard that dates back to the 1920s; this, in-turn, was an upgrade from the 16fps that was common for earlier silent films. As video-game enthusiasts are keenly aware, a higher frame-rate reduces jitter and provides much smoother video playback, and that translates to a more immersive and realistic experience overall. (And for the trivia buffs among you, the move from 16fps to 24fps was necessitated by the advent of movie audio -- the original 16fps film speed moved too slowly over the magnetic heads to produce quality sound playback.)

Axe Cop to launch Fox late-night animation block
Fox chooses Axe Cop to launch its new late-night Saturday animation block
Squarely hitting the entertainment sweet spot that unites 5-year-olds and the totally stoned, Fox has announced plans to develop Axe Cop—an adaptation of the web comic co-created by brothers Malachai and Ethan Nicolle—as the first addition to its burgeoning late-night Saturday animation lineup. For the unfamiliar, Axe Cop concerns a policeman who wields a firefighter's axe (so it's not just a clever name) as he battles crime with the help of various allies such as another cop who is also a flute but sometimes a dinosaur and occasionally an avocado, and a magical wish-granting baby with a unicorn horn. "What, did a little kid write this?" sneering skeptics ask, only to be chagrined to discover that, why yes, Malachai began writing Axe Cop in 2010 at the age of 5, and so those people should feel bad.
Besides, the comic has the excitingly unfiltered, accidentally absurdist ...

Meet Kraftwerk's Original 3-D Animator, Rebecca Allen
When Kraftwerk needed a video to match its electronic music nearly three decades ago, the band turned to Rebecca Allen, a pioneer in the field of computer art. Allen was the creative genius at the helm for 1986's "Musique Non Stop," one of the earliest examples of rendered 3-D graphics in a music video. See behind-the-scenes photographs of the creative process in Wired's gallery.
