Netflix Partners Up With NBC to Offer Shows Online

How I'd Wire Liz Lemon
30 Rock's Liz Lemon got an iPhone at the start of the 2008 season, and it was just the begging of Apple love for the show, which is sponsored by the company. In fact, Apple even used clips from the funny sitcom to show off the new Find My iPhone feature at June's WWDC, so we know the love is mutual. What type of tech do we expect — and hope — geeky gal Liz will rock this season?
More Apple Delivered to 30 Rock
Unlike Gossip Girl's questionable Apple status, 30 Rock is sponsored by Apple, and I noted a ton of Apple products before. In the most recent episode, more of the cast got newer Apple products, and to my delight, they actually got to put them to use! Check out the newest additions to the prop department at 30 Rock.
The Office "Business Trip" Episode Tech Quiz!
NBC's The Office has always been pretty geeky, but this season has really amped up the tech references (tiny Bluetooths and video chat, oh my!), and last night was no exception. There was so much good geek stuff that I had no choice: I had to make a quiz. See how you much you were paying attention to the tech in last night's episode!
People Aren't Watching Commercials During Popular Shows
TV networks, don't hate me — but I barely ever watch commercials. This is probably because my DVR is always full, so whenever I do watch a show, I feel the need to quickly get through it as fast as possible so I can delete it and move on to the next one!
A majority of you said that you occasionally watch commercials even with a DVR, but did you know that nearly all shows that won Emmys this year are more likely to have their commercials skipped over?
Lipstick Jungle: Three's a Charm With the White Handhelds
This seventh episode of Lipstick Jungle was appropriately called "Carpe Threesome" although it had more to do with Victory's sexual escapades than the phone appearances.
The ladies (and men) definitely gave their beloved cell phones a good workout this week, with Nico finding out her husband suffered a heart attack and Wendy dealing with a procrastinating scriptwriter, there were a ton of text messages and phone calls to go around.
To see what else unraveled on the tech scene (including Joe getting naked with his iPhone), click "start slideshow" below!
Lipstick Jungle: Tech and Travels
Wendy and Nico took to the skies in this week's episode of Lipstick Jungle, armed with their glamorous handbags, designer shoes, and travel-friendly cell phones.
Not a ton of gadgetry this week, although cell phones definitely dominated the show. How could Wendy downgrade her stylin' iPhone for a pink (?) mini handheld?
