CSI show 'most popular in world'
Cast members from CSI: Miami
CSI: Miami launched in 2002 and was the first CSI spin-off show
Forensic drama CSI: Miami has been named the world's most popular TV show in a study of ratings in 20 countries.

The programme - starring David Caruso - made the top 10 viewing charts in more of those nations than any other show.

Lost and Desperate Housewives were at numbers two and three, followed by Colombian soap Te Voy a Ensenar a Querer, or I Will Teach You to Love.

The survey, which was conducted by Informa Telecoms and Media, has been published by Radio Times magazine.

The executive producer of CSI: Miami - broadcast on CBS in the US and Five in the UK - has two more shows in the top 10.

Jerry Bruckheimer's original CSI, set in Las Vegas, at number six and missing persons drama Without a Trace in seventh place.

Spanish language

Te Voy a Ensenar a Querer - telling the story of a father and son who are both in love with the same woman - is one of three Spanish language titles included in the survey.

At number eight is Inocente de Ti, which translates as Innocent of You and is the third remake of 1970s Mexican soap Rina, according to Radio Times.

It follows two sisters as they take their grandmother from Mexico to Miami to find their alcoholic father.

Anita, No Te Rajes! - or Anita, Don't Give Up! - makes ninth place in the survey.

It was funded partially by American network NBC as a way of creating programming for the growing Hispanic population in the US.

There is only one children's programme in the top 10 - The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, which is made by Nickleodeon, at number 10.

"The objective of our research was to find the most consistently successful programme worldwide in terms of attracting viewers," said Adam Thomas, the media research manager responsible for the study.

"We were not therefore concerned with shows that performed extremely well in a relatively small number of markets.

"CSI: Miami was therefore named the most popular programme because it featured in more country top 10 rankings for 2005 than any other," he told the BBC News website.

Corría el año de 1990

Si no mal recuerdo fue en Mayo (¿O marzo?), yo tenía nueve años y estaba en cuarto grado de primaria.
En el canal 5 empezaron a transmitir una serie que al parecer había sido muy exitosa dos años atras en los Estados Unidos. Esa seríe eran las Tortugas Ninja (ó Las ninja tortugas adolescentes mutantes o TMNT, que es más acorde con la tendencia gringa de abreviar todo) y fueron un trancazo instantaneo, luego luego empezo a salir el comic (del cual vale la pena hablar más adelante porque se hacian historia aquí en México, obviamente situadas en NY pero por artistas mexicanos, que me imagino cobraban en viejos pesos), el album de helados Holanda, los juegos para NES y luego SNES, los muñecos "chafas" en los tianguis y la pelicula, que se estreno en Julio del 90 y la secuela en Junio del 91 (Una tercera parte en el 93 cuando ya habían perdido mucho gas y el comic ya no daba una),bueno a mi me gustaban mucho, de hecho estuve jode y jode a mi mamá hasta que hizo un a micro gabardina para mis juguetes, de hecho tuve (hasta fechas recientes) un monton de posters de las Tortugas que compraba a la salida de la escuela (ah.... la nostalgia), pero sigamos, esas peliculas de las tortugas no eran particularmente buenas (Hasta Vanilla Ice aparecio en una de ellas y participo en el soundtrack) pero cumplian con su cometido $$$$$$, la tercera de hecho ya trata de viajes y nos remonta a Japón, esa pelicula en 1993 fue algo así como una de esasa despedidas que uno no se da cuenta o no sabe por cuanto tiempo , ya saben, si es adios o hasta siempre, hace no mucho vi una nueva serie de estos personajes, que innovaba poco pero les presentaba a los encaparazonados a la generación que nacio despues de ese primer exito masivo de los 90 y hubo una serie de juegos (de mecánica muy simple) para xbox,PS2, gamecube y LA plataforma PC CD rom que me rencontraron con mis amados anfibios con nombre renaceentista y ahora ya estoy contando los minutos (con menos ansias que para Spiderman III, pero contando al fin) para que se estrene la nueva pelicula que muy probablemente no me guste pero yo siempre asisto a mis citas con la nostalgia.





Para relajarse (de Linuxman) Voto X Voto

Lo he dicho una y otra vez (pero nunca esta de más), a mi me horroriza que FECAL vaya a ser el presidente, me parece que tanto pinche yunquista en el poder sólo son malas noticias, pero el otro candidato también me caga y este video (espero que nadie se ofenda) que vi en linuxman me agrado.

Metallica embrace digital stores
James Hetfield, singer and guitarist of the US band Metallica
Metallica released their debut album Kill 'Em All in 1983
Rock band Metallica have finally made their entire music catalogue available to download from the internet.

Fans can buy individual songs from their 10 albums after the band relented on a longstanding refusal to make them available on iTunes and Napster.

In 2001, Metallica settled a legal case against Napster - when it was a file- sharing service - for allowing users to download songs without permission.

On iTunes the songs are available for download in the US and Canada only.

Live tracks

Complete Metallica albums and live concerts have previously been available via other music internet sites and on their own website.

But the band had never allowed digital music services to sell single songs until now.

A statement on the band's website said: "Over the last year or so, we have seen an ever-growing number of Metallica fans using online sites like iTunes to get their music.

"So, in continuing with the tradition of offering our albums for sale online as well as making our live concerts available for download in their entirety we are now offering fans the opportunity to obtain our songs individually."

The band have also made available previously unreleased live tracks along with their back catalogue of albums, from their 1983 debut Kill 'Em All to 2004's Some Kind of Monster.

Mercury Records, Metallica's record label outside the US, was not immediately available for comment on when the songs would be made available on iTunes outside the US and Canada.
