		<description><![CDATA[How I came to pay MLB four times for the same thing serves as a fine example of how this new world works.

It all started in 1976 when my dad took me to see Mark Fidrych pitch for the Detroit Tigers.  Ok, that's going back a little too far.

		<description><![CDATA[The basic idea of the connected TV is to take all the video watching you do on your computer and move it to the biggest and best picture, sound and seating you have in the house.  The original video device.  The almighty television.

You could get all the breadth, randomness, and consumer friendly economics of Internet video without the neck and back strain of “leaning forward” over a keyboard and mouse. 

But does this matter?  Will it change the world?

		<description><![CDATA[DVRs seem to have revolutionized television in the last decade.  Ten years ago when they first appeared, Tivo and Replay TV were shocking devices that offered the utopian promises of skipping ads and having everything your way.

But I’m here to tell you it’s an illusion.  The DVR is nothing but a VCR in a fancy tuxedo.  It’s a 20th century concept on its last legs.  The real revolution has yet to come.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thehollywoodgeek.com&amp;blog=12966540&amp;post=104&amp;subd=mikehalleen&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most interesting and apparent aspects of the iPad is how much you spend AFTER you get one. 

Everyone sees what happened to the music industry in the last decade (which is that Apple took it over but at prices many feel are too low) and the question is how to avoid the same happening to movies, tv, print, sports and the rest.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thehollywoodgeek.com&amp;blog=12966540&amp;post=39&amp;subd=mikehalleen&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

I have been a vocal iPad doubter.  My Facebook status the day of the January annoucnement was “iYawn.”

Saturday late in the afternoon however I found myself calling local stores to check on their stocks, and when I found the Apple Store at The Grove still had plenty, I couldn’t stop myself.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thehollywoodgeek.com&amp;blog=12966540&amp;post=4&amp;subd=mikehalleen&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
