Why Studios Must End Their Mega-Budget Obsession
[unable to retrieve full-text content]Variety dissects the summer box office casualties.
Sprint set to bring coverage to 277 NYC subway stations
When it rains, it pours. As anyone who takes Big Apple public transit can tell you, the days of the brief underground reprieve from wireless are mostly behind us -- in many parts of Manhattan, at least. But if you doubted that the rest of the 100-year-old transit system would be getting some love, let Sprint lay those concerns to rest. The carrier announced this morning plans to bring service to the whole map -- that's 277 underground stations in all, bringing coverage to Sprint, Boost and Virgin Mobile subscribers. Folks on those networks will be getting service in 36 Manhattan stations early next year, followed by 40 more in that borough and Queens.

Bypassing Paywalls, Speaker Buzz, and Printing Without Black Ink
Readers offer their best tips for getting around paywalls and other blocks, eliminating speaker buzz, and printing when you're out of black ink.
Every day we receive boatloads of great reader tips in our inbox, but for various reasons?maybe they're a bit too niche, maybe we couldn't find a good way to present it, or maybe we just couldn't fit it in?the tip didn't make the front page. From the Tips Box is where we round up some of our favorites for your buffet-style consumption. Got a tip of your own to share? Add it in the comments, email it to tips at lifehacker.com, or share it over at our user-run blog, Hackerspace.
Bypass Paywalls with a Browser Keyword
After reading our post on bypassing paywalls with Google, Matthew Lucas finds a way to make it even easier:
I set Google's web cache up as a custom search engine for super-quick paywall skirting.
For Chrome: Right-click on the address bar, and hit "Edit Search Engines"
Title: "Google Proxy"
Keyword: proxy
URL: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache...Then when I want to access a blocked URL, I just type "proxy," hit space, paste in the URL, then press Enter.
Firefox users just need to add that URL as a bookmark and give it a keyword of their choice. You can then launch it the same way. While you're at it, check out the best custom searches you should enable right now. We've actually featured this particular trick before?in fact, if you check out our version, you can do it without even pasting in the URL.
Eliminate Speaker Buzz with a BIOS Tweak
Jeff fixes his buzzing speakers:
I just got a new pair of speakers, but they had a horrible buzz that I could hear when I wasn't playing anything. After some searching, I found that oftentimes, this is because of the CPU in your computer. By booting into your BIOS and turning off the C1E power-saving feature, you can stop the buzzing. Your computer might use a bit more power, but it's a decent fix in the meantime.
A quick Google search reveals that this is actually a popular fix. What settings you disable may depend on your particular setup, so try the other C states if disabling just C1E doesn't work.
Change a Web Page's Font to Dark Blue with a Bookmarklet
Greg shares a tip for when you run out of black ink:
Do you ever need to print something but your printer has stopped printing black ink?
In a pinch, this bookmarklet will let you change all the black to dark blue and pull up the print option.
javascript:var%20innerStyle%20=%20"html%20*%20{color:%20#000080%20!important;}";%20var%20css%20=%20document.createElement("style");%20css.type%20=%20"text/css";%20css.innerHTML%20=%20innerStyle;%20document.body.appendChild(css);%20window.print(); I wrote it for my granddad who?s printer stopped printing black even with the cartridge replaced.
I tested this and it worked in Chrome, but not Firefox. If anyone knows how to edit the bookmarklet for Firefox, let us know in the discussions!
Watch YouTube Videos on Roku with Videobuzz
Cass Lopez finds a workaround for YouTube on the Roku:
I had to dig for this so I thought I might post it here in case people didn't think it could be done. Videobuzz appear to have been relentlessly pursued by Youtube to prevent them allowing you to view Youtube via their channel on your Roku box. They went from regular Roku channel to private channel to sideloaded app to evade Youtube's lawyers. Heck, Google even made an Xbox app.
To view Youtube on your Roku in this democracy of ours you need to download the app from here and sideload from your computer. End result? you can watch Youtube on Roku.

Youth baseball still thriving in Mac
REGION -- Do you hear that sound? The sweet ping of the bat, the pop of the mitt and, of course, the chanting and cheering of the young ballplayers. That's youth baseball at its finest. Parents line the baselines, offering positive encouragement for all players, no matter what uniform they are wearing.
About 10 years ago, baseball league directors from the surrounding towns of Shirley, Ayer, Groton Dunstable and Littleton decided to merge and form the MacIntosh League. Since then, the Mac League has welcomed new members.
"It spawned from small towns in the area who did not have a big enough program to support playing in town," said Ayer youth baseball director Jason Mayo. "They were looking for surrounding towns to get involved with and play games against. It made sense because they are all bordering towns and part of the same parent program, Cal Ripken."
When the league was started, town program directors were not sure about the type of success it would have.
"It worked out," Mayo said. "Everybody from the different towns had the same vision and the same goals in terms of youth sports. That (the Mac) went on with those main towns for about 10 years."
Recently, the Mac welcomed newcomers Townsend-Ashby and Pepperell to the league, after they switched over from Little League to Cal Ripken. The additions of Pepperell and Townsend-Ashby increased the number of games scheduled from 280 to 600.
"We went from about 26 teams up to 48
teams," said Shirley youth baseball president Terry Cooper. "It was a huge, huge increase in teams. It forced us to go into two divisions, which was very cool. We had an American and National division at all three levels."The unique thing about the Macintosh League is that every town gets its chance to be the league president.
"Each team coordinates the league and the schedule every year," Mayo said. "People have come and go, but there are a couple of holdovers who have been there for a while.
"Every year, even though there are different people that are involved, everybody comes in with the same visions and same attitudes. They may bring fresh ideas, which is good. That always helps to develop the league, you can't just stay stagnant."
In Cal Ripken baseball there are three levels: Minors (8- and 9-year-olds), Majors-60 (10- and 11-year-olds), and Majors-70 (11- and 12-year-olds.) Minors are the first time young players get a chance to face pitching from their peers.
"At the younger levels, they are out there learning to play and having fun," Mayo said. "They are playing real baseball; they are running the bases and keeping score. At that age, they are a little bit competitive. It doesn't matter if they win or lose. They could lose 14-0, but as soon as the game is over, they are having fun and want to go have a hot dog and a cotton candy at the concession stand."
Over the last half decade, lacrosse has started to pick up steam in the area. Town baseball programs such as Littleton and Groton have taken a large blow due to the popularity of lacrosse.
"Littleton and Groton have probably taken the biggest hit," Cooper said. "Four years ago, Littleton had six teams at every level. Now, they have a total of five teams in all three levels.
There is a huge drop in baseball around here due to lacrosse. Lacrosse is a fast-paced game and an hour-long practice or game, where baseball can be an hour and a half, two hours. (Baseball) is a slower, more safety-conscious game. "
For the time being, America's pastime is still thriving in the region, and Cooper said that is due in large part to the hands-off approach Cal Ripken Baseball headquarters takes.
"Cal Ripken allows the towns to do what they've got to do to survive," said Cooper. "Little League is restrictive on how they do things, in terms of you need to use their bats and follow their rules. Cal Ripken allows you to make your own rules. When things are restrictive, it kind of hurts your ability to make things easier for your players and the parents."
By bringing in Townsend-Ashby-Pepperell, the Macintosh League now is able to offer a more localized league for its Babe Ruth (13- to 15-year-old) players. When Groton left the Macintosh Babe Ruth league for the Minuteman, it put the local Babe Ruth league in a bind.
According to Cooper, there are few more gratifying things than hearing the bat of young ballplayer sing that sweet ping, or seeing a kid make a great play.
"For me, that's the ultimate," said Cooper. "When you work a season with one of those kids and all of sudden he makes a great play in the field he wouldn't have made at the beginning of the year, they light up. It's cool. They go nuts.
"As a coach, that's stuff that gets you jacked up. That's the kind of thing that makes you say, 'hey, OK, I spent the time with the right kid making sure he developed and had a successful season where he wants to come back and play baseball."
Baseball season is winding down in the region, as Groton U12 and Ayer-Shirley U10 are the last two teams competing at the Cal Ripken State Tourney this weekend in Northbridge.
