    Also a very novel spelling of "Broadband" there, too.

    Oh, and the o's in "Proof" are the wrong way round. The first o is where the second should be, and vice-versa. :D

    Hmm, it seems intel would like to become time-warner-intel maybe, this convergance of technologies and the obvious and resultant conglomeration of companies worries me.

    woo this could actually be half decent
    i still think the main problem with any idea like this is that its going to have a hard time being better than the illegal way
    if its live (ie you can watch it at the same time its being broadcast everywhere else)
    good quality (none of this crappy low bit-rate streams you get now)
    ad-free
    and pretty damn cheap
    it might work, otherwise people will just torrent/whatever the eps instead

    Three weeks to ship a million Yonahs Core Duos? That almost confirms it to me that Apple will be updating their iBooks to dual core next week at the mac show.

    And I get to use a student discount on one :) Woot.

    Now all we need for these cool-sounding content distro systems is to get decent broadband speeds out beyond Japan. I don't think my 4Mbit is going to cut it for anything decent. Especially as my SD transcodes tend to weigh in at anywhere from 2-3.5Mbit for just the video, plus overhead, etc. Once Fios is in my area, it's a different story I'd bet (15/2Mbit D/U for $50/mo? Yeah, sounds nice to me. Especially as it's faster than T1...)

    i think they are trying to imitate M$ for that Justin Timberlake aperance LOL

    i wont buy a viiv but i will wait a little until vista comes out and every one goes around screaming to get the new OS se that it is obsecive and it is crap and M$ dies and linux takes its place.
    then ween hardware is cheaper i will buy a new machine :D
