iTunes Replay Streaming vs Netflix?

The rumor on the internets is that apple is going to launch something called itunesreplay along with icloud this fall. The question is will this become a valid challenger to Netflix? Apparently Apple is still hashing out some deals with the likes of HBO and a few other cable tv channels, which is what has delayed an official announcement. I'm guessing Apple wants to make sure they have everything nice and tidy before making any sort of announcement, just like they did with the record companies before announing iCloud and it's music sync capabilities. Whether or not it will give Netflix a run for it's money remains to be seen, especially since Netflix has changed it's approach lately when it comes to their plans and pissed off a lot of people in the process.

Time Warner Cable's iPad App

I recently had the chance to play around with time warner cable's iPad app, and I was very pleased. Granted it doesn't give you all of the channels that you get via the regular cable box. However, if you are on the same wifi network as your cable setup, it acts as a remote to click between different channels and does give you about 60 or so channels streaming right onto the iPad. I wonder if Direct TV offer's anything like this? It's a cool "free" addition to your time warner cable experience.

Manchester United vs Manchester City

The two halves of Manchester kick off the new barclays premiere league today playing in the community shield match. Usually this is not a super competitive game since it's still preseason and both teams want to get one last good opponent under their belt before the season kickoff. However, this year it seems like both Man united and man city are taking the game very seriously. Both have made some significant buys during the offseason, specifically aguero to city, and it will be interesting to see how much playing time the newbies will get. Regardless both will start with strong sides, and hopefully we will see some great goals and a great game!
