It used to be that I would get frustrated finding only the same hits every time I do a google search (like “Securemote Vista”). Then I’d get frustrated when searching for new information only to find stuff that I already know. Now when searching for new information I’m finding my own words!
Xbox Live launched their TV and Movie service today, something I’ve been looking forward to. Went downstairs to try it out, and nothing. Either it’s not up yet or they’re blocking Canada, so I goes to Google to see what what. Type in “xbox live hd movies canada” and review the results. And guess what I find? Some idiot from Milton who ranted about a month ago about how it sounds good but like all other good movie services probably wouldn’t work in Canada. And like so many other searches I’ve done lately, that idiot is me.
The world needs more people to be writing about things that interest me so that I can get a fresh opinion. Unlike Fox News, I really do enjoy opinions other than my own.

It was confirmed quite a long time ago that the Video Marketplace on Xbox Live is only going to roll out in the US to start. Its issues with contracts that the producers have with Canadian stations. Like Global or whatever purchased the rights for its station to be the ONLY way you can watch “Insert Show Name Here” for one year lets say. Im not sure why they don’t just put up shows for us that are not bound to these contracts and agreements though. Besides the Video Marketplace has been comletely overloaded and fubar anyways, they are still trying to fix it.
