CBS, Fox and NBC have independently filed lawsuits against Dish Network, claiming its new automatic commercial-deleting service Auto Hop violates copyright laws; Fox even goes as far as to state that Auto Hop is “destroying the fundamental underpinnings of the broadcast television ecosystem.” Auto Hop is a feature launched recently for Dish Network’s Hopper DVR.

The latest iPhone commercials feature John Malkovich playing around with Siri. But that's it. He's just being his weird self with the bot, using it as a form of entertainment, rather than a useful tool. In one of the two spots, he asks for the weather, but other than that all of his other interactions are for laughs, unlike the early Siri ads, which portrayed regular people getting real use out of the supposedly life changing personal assistant.
