Leno struggling to gain a 1.5 share
The grand experiment by NBC – moving late night king Jay Leno into prime time in order to cut back on costly dramas and save money – is now officially a failure. Sure, the network probably won’t change course this season; mainly because they would need five hours of prime time programming to take the place of Leno, and the network has very few hits waiting in the wings. This season.
But if the sale of NBC to Comcast goes through, as expected, perhaps things will change; if NBC orders an unusually high number of dramas to pilot this spring, you can bet Jay won’t be in prime time five nights a week next fall. Go, Comcast! Send this idiots who killed NBC on some permanent Orlando vacations.
New Google challenger launches
The newest challenger to Google would rather figure out the answers itself rather than point you to another site; WolframAlpha is the name of this site, and it launches this week amid hoopla that it’s a Google-killer. Can the awkwardly-named site really challenge Google’s dominance?
I wouldn’t bet any Orlando vacations on it. After all, Google is far more than just a search engine, these days. It boasts a list of sites and services so vital to the Internet that it’s just silly to think a simple search engine can replace it.
Only if WolframAlpha does all that, too, will it even stand a chance.
