Video: ‘Cowboys & Aliens’ Sneak Peek — Now with More Explosions and More Badassery

[1] I have to confess I’ve been only mildly curious about Cowboys & Aliens, Jon Favreau’s adaptation of Scott Mitchell Rosenberg’s sci-fi Western comic. Though I like the concept in theory, and though I’m a fan of Favreau as well as stars Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, and Olivia Wilde, something about the earlier trailers haven’t quite done it for me. That’s changing now, though. This new “extended… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : /Film Discovery Date : 11/06/2011 09:16 Number of articles : 3

Can he get any crazier? We invade Iraq, kill hundreds of thousands of their people and this shameless moron asks them to cover our expenses : BAGHDAD (AFP) – Iraqi authorities have asked for a US congressman to leave the country after he called for Baghdad to repay part of the money spent by Washington since the 2003 invasion , a spokesman said on Saturday. Republican representative Dana Rohrabacher’s remarks at a news conference in Baghdad stood in stark contrast to those by senior American officials, who have pressed Iraqi officials to decide soon whether they want US troops to stay beyond a year-end withdrawal deadline. “We called the US embassy yesterday and we told them to ask the congressmen to leave Iraq,” government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh told AFP. “We don’t want them here. What they said was inappropriate.” Dabbagh said Rohrabacher and his congressional delegation had not raised the issue in a meeting with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, contradicting the US politician’s comments that he had spoken about potential repayments with the Iraqi leader. It was not immediately clear if Rohrabacher and the delegation were still in the country when the request was made. “Once Iraq becomes a very rich and prosperous country… we would hope that some consideration be given to repaying the United States some of the mega-dollars that we have spent here in the last eight years,” Rohrabacher told journalists at the US embassy on Monday. Can you imagine all the angry chain emails that would be flying if a Democrat had said that? Oh, and Dana? You’re a lousy guitar player, too. Your staffers probably tell you you’re good, but they get paid to say that.

TiVo Premiere Q and Preview boxes are official along with an updated iPad app

An early release over the weekend took any surprise out of the news, but now TiVo has officially announced its plans for the new TiVo Premiere Q and TiVo Preview set-top boxes and an update for its iPad app at the 2011 NCTA Cable Show. Both boxes are firsts for TiVo, the Premiere Q (pictured above) because it has four tuners and can stream video to up to three other boxes in the home, and the Preview because it lacks a hard drive or any DVR capabilities entirely. The Preview can function on its own or as a multiroom thin client streaming from TiVo DVRs, and both promise full integration with video on-demand and other cable-provided services. There’s no word on any retail plans and as expected RCN and Suddenlink will be the first to offer the boxes. The TiVo iPad app is also getting a cable-friendly makeover with a new version that can browse video on-demand offerings and flick them to any available TiVos for viewing, just like it does for internet video. We complained about the slow pace of updates for the existing Premiere DVR yesterday, so we’ll try to have a fresh outlook on the official announcements (PR and more pictures are after the break) and consider a future where TiVo isn’t tied to DVRs or being offered at retail.
