• Your two pictures are innacurate. You seem to be comparing the grainy reception of analog to the clear reception of digital. That's great except that analog isn't that grainy typically. But what's worse is that if the digital signal is coming in as weak as the analog would have to be to look that way, you wouldn't have a nice clear picture. You wouldn't even have a grainy picture like with analog. You wouldn't have a picture at all, unless you like watching a black screen with a little blue box floating around that says NO SIGNAL.
  
  The cliff effect makes digital worse than analog.
  
  Now, who doesn't think this is all a conspiracy to get people to sign up for cable and satellite? Naive people - that's who. In reply to: "FCC: Some DTV transition hiccups still anticipated"

• There's so much that's wrong with this article I dont' know where to begin. Newspaper's are dying because they're losing ad revenue from classifieds because sites like craigslist give them away for free or more efficent e-commerce sites like ebay as well as more people reading online which I assume is less lucrative than paper advertising. That's it, period. There's this tendency for every person who has some hostility towards newspapers to project what they personally disliked about newspapers as they reason that newspaper's are failing. Of course, the newspaper had a "liberal bias" translation: they posted something that didn't agree 100% with my world view and used big words and concepts that I couldn't understand. Or maybe the newspapers are failing because the paperboy always throws the paper in the bushes or because they charge me so much for the Sunday edition. Cooper's theories are even more dumb, reader comments? Really? So that's all it took? Also what the hell difference would blogging make? Unless you're going to charge the reader 10 cents for every blog post. The problem with you tech snobs is all you do is yell out "big media bad big media bad!" and extoll the virtues of blogs and the internet, and you don't even understand what's going on. I'd rather have some respectable (as well as accountable) big newspaper to handle big stories and keep and eye on the government and big companies than the blogosphere built on rumormongering and senationalism.

• Why didn't you put the link to the Google app status dashboard in your article? Isn't that basic web journalism these days? For other readers, its http://www.google.com/appsstatus# since CNET apparently doesn't get it. In reply to: "Dashboard shows customers Google Apps' health"

• I'll start buying Blu-Rays movies when the price of the player come down to about $100, until then my dvd-upconverter is perfectly fine for me. Also, I guess I'm one of the few who has no interest in movies of digital format, I want a actual disc that I can hold, take over to family or friends, let them borrow, or resell on ebay, much of what you can't do with the digital format.

• This is what I've been waiting for. I already have a camera, a MP3 player, a computer, a video camera, and a box of maps. I prefer the quality of these devices to anything I've seen phones do. I just want a nice, functional phone to contact people with, and I've been sending psychic signals to Apple about it.
  
  Right now I pay $45 a month for an array of services that I find less limiting than the ones available at AT&T. Even though this phone is a response to my psychic signal, I won't be on board. I would rather drive myself insane trying to write a plugin to iSync my Tiger Address Book, than scrimp and save for a two year contract that won't allow me to use music I made as ringtones.

• I see a lot of comments about broken buissness models and such as well as debating right and wrong for downloading music. How can the music industry compete with sites that offer music for free. I guess thats their argument and it seems to make sense i guess. Oh wait Bottled water is a 50 billion dollar a year industry. I wonder what would happen if I got in doc browns time machine and went back to the fifty's and tried to convince the coca cola company that they could make a fortune filtering, bottling and selling water like they do coke. Hmmm. People like me would much rather get music from a reputable place where the quality is assured and the safety of the file is assured . perhaps they should find the people who started the bottled water craze and get them to create a new buissness model.....
