For some utterly bizarre reason, probably to do with an enormous amount of Korean Won hitting ITV's bank account, Samsung and ITV have joined up to make the updated ITV Player Android app a Samsung exclusive -- meaning you need a Samsung phone or tablet to install it. Read More >>

ITV's just launched its total rebrand, the biggest change to the UK's second biggest broadcaster in the last 12 years, and it's not exactly gone over well. The critical response has been pretty much universally bad, but what do you think? Has ITV just become hip, or is a logo that looks like a child practicing joined-up writing the embodiment of fail?

Looks like BBC and ITV's Freesat has Sky and YouView set squarely in its sights. By adding Netflix, catch-up TV, and other on-demand services, Freesat could have just become the on-stop shop for all things TV in the UK. It's adding more on-demand with an incoming new box, that'll allow you to scroll back in time and play catch-up stuff just like YouView, as well as stream stuff from Netflix and potentially LoveFilm and others too.

Hopefully someone at the Sunday Times is just having a laugh -- either that or it's made a right old cock-up. In a story charting an ill-fated hostage rescue attempt in Nigeria, the newspaper used a picture of John “Soap” MacTavish, straight out of Call of Duty, instead of a photo of flesh-and-blood soldier, complete with an eye-obscuring black bar for, err, privacy reasons.

Not only is ITV ditching PCs for Macs, it's also moving all its employees to Google Apps, in a mammoth five year-long IT nightmare. Supposedly the move to OS X is to encourage communication, collaboration and creativity, because presumably MS Paint just wasn't cutting it. [Silicon via TUAW] Read More >>
