Fringe - A Cool Sci-Fi TV Series from Fox

For all of you who aren’t in on the latest TV news, FOX had aired a sci-fi television program last year (and will air its season finale this May 12) that wreaked havoc in ratings in the US. The show is called Fringe. If you watched and got frustrated with Lost, J.J. Abrams assures you that this TV series is far from “WTF just happened?!”

Fringe is a show based on an FBI agent’s startling discoveries about phenomena relating to pseudo-science or fringe science. Fringe science is actually unexplainable events occurring throughout the world as we speak. Telepathy, Psychokinesis, Reanimation, and Teleportation are just some of the weird incidences they tackle here, and as the story progresses, they creepier the viewing experience. I’m sure everyone will like it as I did.

And no, guys – it’s not a rip-off from Supernatural or Eureka. This is definitely a worthwhile watch, and there’s no strict continuity in the plot. All episodes are more or less independent of the previous ones.

Flash Set to Invade Your TV Sets

Adobe just keeps the innovations rolling -– and the market shares too.

Flash-based interactivity will find its way to American TV sets soon, as Adobe just launched a deal with major cable companies to bring web-based applications to greater media via chip-mod cable boxes. This deal, as most of you might chew over, will most probably boost multimedia functionality (including menu functions and viewing experience) and probably jumpstart product sales as knowingly, more and more advertisers will deliver juicier ads on people’s TV sets, further enticing them to bite the deal.

As for the Filipino people, we’re yet to see this awesome improvement hitting our sets in a couple more years. Hopefully, PC freaks like me will spend less time drooling on the keyboard and spend more time fondling the remote on flash-based games and applications when this lands in our country. The broadband connection here however, is still on its way to the third-world speed marker. What a shame.
