Just because Netflix has licensed new content we’re not always sure when it will be available for Watch Instantly streaming, but TrekMovie.com reports it has the dates for Star Trek content covered by a recent deal with CBS . TrekMovie has confirmed it will have every episode of all five live action series — US only, sorry Canada, enjoy that Iron Man 2 — with the original Star Trek ( in HD ), Star Trek: The Next Generation , Star Trek: Voyager , and Star Trek: Enterprise (in HD) available July 1st, followed by Star Trek: Deep Space 9 on October 1st. There’s still no word on when Family Ties is arriving, but the two year deal (with an option for two more) should give viewers who haven’t already shelled out for the boxed sets (we know you got the HD DVDs ) a chance to get all the Trek they can bear. Star Trek series coming to Netflix Watch Instantly in July and October originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 08 Apr 2011 16:19:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink

The battle for Abidjan escalated last night as forces loyal to international pariah Laurent Gbagbo fired on the French ambassador’s residence. It was unclear if there had been any casualties, but French military sources vowed a “strong response”. Attack helicopters were seen leaving the French base soon after the mortar and rocket attack, which was the strongest attempt yet by Mr Gbagbo to force former colonial power France into a fight which would rally Ivorian nationalists. Claims from the UN that Gbagbo’s forces had regained the highly important areas of Plateau and Cocody were unconfirmed. A spokesman for the French forces refused to discuss what he called rumours, with Major Frederic…

Well, it looks like Republicans in the House of Representatives weren’t about to let this one slip past a possible government shutdown — they just passed a measure that seeks to block the FCC’s net neutrality rules by a largely party line vote of 240 to 179. That follows a House subcommittee vote last month but, as then, the bill still faces an uphill battle in the Senate and with the President, who’s expected to veto any such legislation if it somehow got to his desk. Not surprisingly, the rhetoric from both sides is only increasing following this latest development, with Democrat Rep. Henry Waxman saying the Republican bill would “end the internet as we know it,” while Republican Rep. Fred Upton argues that “the internet is not broken and this bill will assure that the FCC does not break it.” House of Representatives votes to block FCC’s net neutrality rules originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 08 Apr 2011 16:26:00 EDT.
