CBS is going to run an ad in Entertainment Weekly that will feature an embedded video player that starts automatically when the page is turned. Next we'll be eating whole meals packed into pills and our robot butlers will make our beds for us.

Co-founders Richard Jones, Martin Stiksel, and Felix Miller step down as heads of CBS owned Last.fm. This is the letter to their supporters explaining their decision.
TV Buzz The Daily Show’s fake blowhards and real-life husband and wife have signed with CBS to star in a sitcom based on Jones’s celebrity chef character and his associate, played by Bee. Here’s to hoping they follow in the footsteps of Steve Carell and Ed Helms instead of Rob Corddry (who is still hilarious, despite being given some awful material).
Business Buzz CBS will make shows from its catalog available in full on YouTube, including Beverly Hills, 90210, Star Trek, and MacGyver. Essentially, you’ll be watching TV in 1993, but with the added capability to switch to watching Spaghetti Cat on repeat.
Politics Buzz Barack Obama has purchased 30 minutes of airtime on both NBC and CBS, set to air Wednesday, October 29 - less than a week before Election Day. Speculation about what’s going to happen during the Obama TV Show is mixed. Regardless, I’d personally like to extend my sincere thanks to Barack and his campaign for kicking episodes of “The New Adventures of Old Christine” and “Knight Rider” off the air that night.
Politics Buzz CBS reporter Dean Reynolds is complaining about how bad it is to be on the campaign trail with Obama, what with the unpredictable schedule and a plane that “smells terrible most of the time.” He also openly pines for the days of covering McCain, with his handy bound itineraries and clean plane.
Business Buzz CBS is buying CNET for $1.8 billion. In a surprise move, the broadcast giant is snapping up CNET’s large network of online sites.
