a prediction coming true already?

so in an earlier post (about two posts ago) i gave my predictions for 2011 and it looks like i might be right on one of them in the second week of the year. the iPhone coming to verizon. it seems like everyone is saying that the iPhone is coming to verizon and that is what the announcement will be on tuesday. i don't know if this is true but it would be cool on two parts. first would be the mass exodus from the at&t network of the apple fanpeople. and second would be the relief on the at&t network. both would be wins, obviously. i want to point out why i think this is actually going down. on macrumors.com they say that the invites to the press event in NYC went out to the normal press people except for one blog. Gizmodo. but why Gizmodo, they have always been friendly with Verizon. True, but not with apple. at least since before the whole iphone 4 leak. one thing i heard that is interesting, is that the iphone 5 (or the iphone that will be anounced in the normal cycle) will be an at&t exclusive phone. thoughts or other comments posted below.

Remakes Can't Be Exact

I'm watching the US Top Gear and while I watch the episode I can't help but have an argument in my head. "Why can't the US version be more like the UK version." This kept popping in my head. The one thing I have to remember and everyone else needs to realize. If you make the show and it is an exact reproduction of the original then you might as well just save your money and bring over the original. But on the other hand if you shoot a show and it is a reproduction by name only for example you take NBC's "Community" a sitcom about people at community college and change it to a drama about a community center, well you might as well change the name of the show. The point is that you have to find this balance of original to the reproduction. I hear people complain that the US Top Gear is terrible and that they should quit and stuff like that but people don't realize that if you want the UK Top Gear then watch it on BBC America when the show airs. The way I look at it is if you are a major gear head that loves car this could be the best way to watch the best car show just about year round.
