Re: Vidgo, a New Live TV Service For Cord Cutters, Is Coming Soon: Here Are Our First Impressions After Testing It Out

Who in the world want's "social aspects" in a streaming service? That sounds awful! And the channel lineup sounds like they don't have any of the channels I want. It's got a long way to go before I'd be interested at all.

I will automatically place products whose ads double and triple pump into the "never buy" category.

If there's no Dolby Vision I will be very angry. I will probably still buy it, I do want all the updates they are bringing. But I will be angry nonetheless. Why doesn't Roku listen to its customers?

I have an Apple TV 4k also, I rarely use it, the remote absolutely sucks.

Still nothing here. I am definitely pissed off at this point. This roll out has been a debacle as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Dark Mode for Gmail is Arriving

Nathaniel Elam — Sat, 12 Oct 2019 13:15:49 -0000

I realize that I will be ok, the sun will probably rise tomorrow, and life will go on. Nevertheless, I am pissed off that Google promised, other people are getting it, and here I sit with the exact same version of Gmail and still no dark mode.

Mind you, I don't mean that I'm throwing furniture about and flipping tables, I guess it would be better if I said I was annoyed. Perhaps then I wouldn't be getting as much grief about saying I'm not happy about the way this roll out has been conducted.

BTW, I still don't have dark mode, I just cheeked.

Hey Luke, your idea of what the "best cord cutting device" and mine are worlds apart. And your idea is pretty messed up. What you described doesn't sound attractive at all!

Re: The Amazon Kindle is doomed, unless it uses color e-paper

Nathaniel Elam — Tue, 19 May 2020 09:50:29 -0000

First, I have no idea who Michael Kozlowski is, or why I should care what he thinks. I don't. Second, I simply could not care less if the Kindle puts out a model with a color screen.

I realize it is important to those trying to market colored e-ink. But I don't care at all. I think that most of the people who use e-readers feel likewise.

Trying to make it seem that the Kindle has to compete as a tablet is idiotic. There are already lots of tablets that are better at doing tablet things than the Kindle could ever be.

The Kindle should continue to be the best e-reader out there. All they have to do is to continue putting out the best e-readers in the market and they will continue to rule the roost.

Re: YouTube TV Adds Viacom Channels, Jacks Up Price to $65

Nathaniel Elam — Sat, 04 Jul 2020 13:01:31 -0000

Yeah, you guys should go back to cable. It seems you have selective amnesia. You've convenitntly forgotten about all those fees that cable tacked on to your bill.

If you think Youtube TV isn't the best deal you should switch.

Re: YouTube TV Adds Viacom Channels, Jacks Up Price to $65

Nathaniel Elam — Sat, 04 Jul 2020 13:04:39 -0000

Even with the price increase, Youtube TV is still the best service going, and not by a little.

And all those who are starting to say that it's no cheaper than cable have conveniently forgotten about how many price increases the calbe companies tacked on to your bill, and all those BS fees thay assessed.

If you think that YTTV is no longer worth it then you should switch. As for me I'm more than happy. The service is great, the picture quality rocks, and there's a free unlimited DVR. And now we also have the Viacom channels, so I no longer need to subscribe to Philo anymore. Live is good.

I am not going to change my routine to suit my tool, and I insist that my tool should fit in my schedule, not the other way around.

The time in my life when charging my phone is best for me is when I am sleeping. Period.

And your poll results show I am not alone.

Phone manufacturers should take our habits into consideration and build in auto conditioning circuitry / software so battery degradation is mitigated as much as possible.

Re: Is there a reason to buy a Kindle anymore?

Nathaniel Elam — Tue, 16 Jan 2024 13:35:06 -0000

I'd say that there's no reason for me to consider any other e-reader. All of the issues that you mentioned, all of them, mean little or nothing to me.

Kindles work flawlessly, they have access to the best e-book ecosystem, in addition to access to books from my local library, and no other e-reader has access to Amazon's e-book ecosystem.

Your article is little more that useless clickbait.

Re: Verizon Wins J.D. Power Award for Best Wireless Network Quality

Just goes to show how useless these JD Powers awards are. Verizon's wireless service is a disgrace, and here this outfit is giving them an award. Now I'll never give JD Powers any consideration at all.
