Screensavers, and TechTV killed!
One of the few places for news about the EFF and technology rights is dead. G4 notified the TechTV staff they were fired yesterday:

From Leo:

've just learned that G4 has fired the entire staff of TechTV.

Per the WARN Act (governing plant closings) all the employees of TechTV have been given 60 days notice. The San Francisco operation will be shuttered by July. 100 of the existing jobs will be posted for those willing to relocate to LA.

Outgoing COO, Joe Gillespie will say good-bye to the troops tomorrow. Incoming CEO Charles Hirschorn will say hello (and good-bye) on Monday.

No word on which shows G4 will keep or which hosts will be kept on.

5. Oh, no!
I love X-Play. I hope they keep that show. I don't play many video games anymore, but I love their reviews.
