  • Apple is just good at marketing, the iphone is ugly and the OS reminds me of Window 3.1...but with nicer icons. Android and WebOS are far better OS' than iphone OS.

    Hopefully MS will come out with their Courier Tablet, that design looks much better than the big iphone design the islate looks like its going to use. Apple just makes things Steve Jobs thinks people want, and there are tons of blind Appleology followers who will follow St. Jobs anywhere he goes and buy anything he tells Apple to make.

  • The only way I'd pay for Hulu is if they get enough content for me to get rid of my extended cable service. Meaning I'd get basic cable but like not have to pay for HBO or Showtime. If I can get rid of cable all together and get a Hulu box and just get all my shows on on demand, I may pay for it if the price is right. I doubt this will happen so they won't be getting my money.

    I bet the site will tank because more people will just do and download the shows off bit torrent for free in stead. Hulu will go bye bye and sites like boxee and the seperate channel sites will grow, maybe someone will write an index just for those sites with show times and such so you just click on the show you want...say CSI on CBS and I'll take you to CBS's website and the new episode of CSI will start playing. We already pay for cable, people aren't going to want to pay for Hulu too. In reply to: "CNET News Daily Podcast: Supercomputers and the future of Hulu"

  • NOTHING is 100% customer satisfaction. I don't understand apple fanboys, their mouths open and maybe 30% truth comes out. In reply to: "Results of the Windows 7 upgrade poll"

  • I installed it on 2 computers and was easy on both. Found all my hardware (one computer is a year old and the other is 4-5 years old). I was even surprised that the rating of the older computer was a 4.3 which is higher than I thought it would get. Piece of cake! People who had problems probably used much older hardware or off brand hardware. In reply to: "Results of the Windows 7 upgrade poll"

  • Give me a break, you really think Apple cares about its users. Look how long its taking for cut and paste, to be put on the iphone. A friend of mine has an iphone and she had to still ask me for directions because there isn't turn by turn directions on the the iphone. Apple TV still doesn't have a TV tuner. Apple doesn't care about its users, it just cares about money. MS is actually listening to people and thats why Windows 7 is so good and is going to be popular.

  • I use both Vista and am testing windows 7 on two different machines. No problems, on freezes, no blue screens, very stable. Windows 7 is better because it runs faster and has a smaller footprint, but Vista has been good too. Unlike a friend of mine who has a mac with the newest version of osx, and has gotten the pinwheel of death around me a couple times and I just laugh because mac fanboys say how stable it is. Give me a break. In reply to: "Apple releases 4 new 'Get a Mac' ads"

  • Plus the ad is so small, its not like a huge banner ad. I can ignore it no problem. :) I ignore the ad on the YIM buddy list window, I hardly notice it. Some people just like to complain. In reply to: "Yahoo shows ads in IM chat windows"

  • I have AT&T Uverse and we only have a very basic phone line to which isn't expensive, its all the addons that cost.

    Other people were talking about companies letting people pick the channels they want to watch and that makes sense. They don't have to let you pick every channel, they can have the basic line-up but then have packs like the shopping network pack which would cost $5 mo extra, and sports which would cost $20 mo extra, spanish channels and religious channels cost so much extra...etc. I hide a ton of channels so I don't have to see them and i wish I didn't have to pay for them. I think if the cable, sat and FiOS companies did this it would save people money. In reply to: "You don't need satellite TV when times get tough"

  • Smart people will leave the ISP's if they are being throttled and dumb people will stay and take it. I understand some people don't have a choice, they can't get DSL so they stick with Cable or vica versa, its the people who have a choice that are dumb. Also hopefully 4G high speed wireless internet will take off and give people another option. If enough people quit an ISP (or call and threaten to quit), they will change their ways...its all a money thing. Like with Gas when the gas companies are loosing money because people aren't driving as much they lower the price of gas, but when people start driving more they raise the price. A lot of things can be change if people just used their brains and did something instead of just giving in and complaining all the time about it.

    So if you're being throttled and you have a choice to use another ISP, then do it (and hopefully they don't throttle too). If enough people do this, the ISP's who throttle will loose money and they'll change their ways. In reply to: "RIAA drops lawsuits; ISPs to battle file sharing"
