NBC Streaming Full Episodes of 30 Rock and the Office to iPhones (for Free, No Ads!)

Even though there's no love lost between NBC and iTunes, that doesn't mean NBC doesn't love you! At least if you've got an iPhone or iPod touch. They're streaming full episodes of 30 Rock and The Office to iPhones (and touches) in QuickTime, for free, with NO ads. They work, nicely, but the major catch is that if you exit Safari, you've gotta re-DL all over again, and the files are huge, so is this Wi-Fi only, really. This looks weird for NBC, but it's really not. More »

NBC Jumps Into SanDisk's Fanfare TV Download Service

Though you can no longer buy episodes of "The Office," "Heroes" or "30 Rock" on iTunes, you will be able to purchase them in January from SanDisk's Fanfare service. Of course, if you recall, you can't download the shows to your computer. You will have to watch them on the $100 to $150 SanDisk Sansa TakeTV, which has some sluggish controls and video quality that isn't exactly hot. I'm stoked that SanDisk scored NBC because I want to see where Fanfare can go, but this sort of bush-league alliance, forged in flagrant defiance of its former friend Apple, makes NBC-Universal look like some kind of slutty ex.

iPod Nano Signed by 'The Office' Cast Being Auctioned for Charity

Not the entire "The Office" cast, but some of them. This iPod nano was signed by Leslie David Barker (Stanley Hudson), Brian Baumgartner (Kevin), Kate Flannery (Meredith), Angela Kinsey (Angela) and Phyllis Smith (Phyllis). Unfortunately, it lacks of the signatures of other notable characters like Steve Carell (Michael Scott) and Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute), but hey, the iPod nano is pretty damn small. The auction, which is currently at $325, end on March 15 and all proceeds will benefit the Children's Defense Fund, Cure Autism Now and the emergency relief efforts in Darfur. Tax write-off! More »

Gaydar Sexual Orientation Detector

Are you...curious? No more guessing what team you're batting (or catching) for with the Gaydar. The Gaydar is a human sexual orientation sensor that gives off a tone when passed over the genital regions of a homosexual or bisexual individual. Kit comes with what looks like Bose headphones, and is availble from the Sharper Image...wait, they're sold out. Brookstone has em. Jump for a video of the wand in action. More »

Creators of The Office (UK) In An Internal Promotional/Training Video for Microsoft UK

In case you weren't familiar with the British version of the popular TV Series The Office, Ricky Gervais stars as David Brent, the manager of a paper firm. Microsoft UK comissioned him and Stephen Merchant (co-creator) to do an internal training video for them, with hilarious results. I'm a huge Office fan, so I was stoked to finally see this! More »
