Chris - 

Where I used to work, they would sometimes tun TechTV in the break room
(just another example of spending money on useless crap instead of
things to save the company and its employees' jobs, but I digress).  To
me, it's just one puff-piece after another.  Ever notice how on E!,
nothing ever sucks?  Same with Entertainment Tonight.  Everything is new
and it's just great.  It's just a marketing vehicle.  Besides, you're
not going to see many if any Linux/Open Source stories there because
there's no big-$$ company that's paying for the mindshare.
