Will Amazon's Video-Streaming Device Be An Apple TV Competitor?

The new Amazon device, said to come with apps from companies for streaming music, movies and will have access to Amazon's On Demand store, may hit retail locations as early as April. The  device, will of course, be available online at the company's website. Retail stores rumored to sell the device when it's released are Best Buy and Staples. The device is said to have apps available on Roku and Apple set-top boxes and run on a version of Google Android software. The real question is, will Amazon's device compete with Apple TV.

'Game of Thrones' Season 4 Is King

Image
Ratings At 9PM on April 6, a total of 6.6 million viewers (including us) were watching the often bloody and grisly "Game Of Thrones" season 4 premiere. This was GoT's most-watched episode  to date, and the most-watched episode of any HBO series since 2007. Season four of GoT was up 52% from season three's premiere. Another 1.6 million viewers watched the show at 11PM and 1AM. Bringing the Nielsen's ratings up to 8.2 million. HBO GO (where our members were able to get caught up) is expected to drive the numbers even higher. As we've stated before, we just wish GoT would pick up the pace just a little bit.

Looks Like Kerry Washington Couldn't Fix SNL

Image
Reviews for Kerry Washington's appearance on SNL , considering Saturday Night Live was dealing with a very public issue concerning the lack of black females on the show, seems to have focused the diversity problem (like a laser) on the writing staff as well. Could diversity among the writing staff be the issue, too?
