If you're already a fan of CBS shows like How I Met Your Mother, CSI, or Late Night With David Letterman, you'll be happy to know that Yahoo has just reached a deal with CBS to stream shows online. . . for free!

No word on when Yahoo TV will start adding shows to its online lineup, but I'm sure it will be in the upcoming weeks. In the meantime, I suggest heading over to Hulu for a huge selection of shows that you can watch in their entirety, and yes - for free!

Up To The Minute TV Info With Eye-lert

GeekSugar — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 13:00:02 -0700

Not everyone has a TiVo or DVR and even those of us who do still miss, forget to tape or even program a show at the wrong time. Case in point: Victoria Beckham: Coming to America! Okay, so I saw part one, but I missed the "never seen shots" episode. What's a girl to do?

Due out this fall is a new service from CBS called "Eye-lert," which will attempt to remedy this problem. Featured on Switched Eye-lert will send you real-time programming alerts via text message or email to let you know what's on when. It will even let you know if a show has been moved time slots or if it's running late.

Even though I check my Google calendar periodically throughout the day, I love getting alerts on my phone to remind me of meetings and events. So getting up to the minute info about my TV shows will be just as useful!

Geek Out With Star Trek Mania!

I wouldn't call myself a Trekkie, but the new Mr. Spock is hot and it's hard not to get sucked in to the current Star Trek mania surrounding the film. Taking top spot at the box office, the Star Trek movie surpassed my expectations. Were you one of the millions that saw it?

How Much Personal Internet Time Do You Take at Work?

GeekSugar — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 11:05:58 -0700

Sure, being able to access Facebook and YouTube at work may make you a happier employee, but are e-breaks getting out of hand?

That's what a recent report on employee application use is saying.

The report warns employers that their employees "will take whatever steps are necessary to use whichever applications they want." Uh, you mean like Spreadtweet? Sorry, employers!

I think you need e-breaks throughout the day to be able to have some "me time" at work and make you more content, but obviously you shouldn't be taking so many e-breaks that it affects your productivity. Being a former bored cubicle-dweller, though, I can attest: spending too much time on the Internet is not necessarily you, it's probably your job.

Hulu isn't gonna know what hit them now that YouTube has launched a new television show section on its website, which includes categories like family, sports, comedy, romance, and even movies! What's great is that there's already a wide selection of shows, including classics like Alf, MacGyver, and 90210 - I know, ALF! Word has it that YouTube has signed agreements to distribute content from Sony, Lions Gate, CBS, MGM, and more, so hopefully the selection of shows keeps growing.

Jessica Simpson Is Mac Tech Support on I Get That a Lot

GeekSugar — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:30:35 -0700

To round out a day of jokes on April Fools' Day, CBS's I Get That a Lot prank show featured celebrities working regular-guy jobs and pretending to not be their recognizable selves. My favorite was Jessica Simpson as IT, helping out customers with support for their Macs at a place called Mac Enthusiast. Of course, she acts just as ditzy as you'd expect, and is actually quite funny. Check her out getting her geek on - black nerd glasses and all - below.
