DISQUS

Don't forget "What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?"

Great! Now get Hulu Desktop running on the AppleTV and I can ditch my antenna, too!

Very odd. I don't understand Apple's stance on this, other than they see Flash as an open-door to applications they won't get to "approve" or that can be installed outside of iTunes. Steve needs to make sure he doesn't get on a power trip over the iPhone. He talks on and on about Apple being a company that's about giving its customers freedom to make choices but it seems at every turn they keep adding more and more restrictions on the users who have made them successful. Apple needs to decide who they are when it comes to user freedom. I thought they used to be very free, but lately, ehhh... not looking good long-term.

The reason for the massive price drops and the slash in the movie prices for HD-DVD is because they will be extinct soon. I think its more of a "screw you" to keep selling a format that has most of the nails already in its coffin and is on the verge of complete abandonment by all the majors studios. Now unknowing consumers are going to buy these cheap HD-DVD players thinking its a great deal only to find they were the unfortunate ones who helped buy-off the remaining stock of discontinued players and movies. If the HD-DVD Consortium has any room in their heart to be "consumer friendly" they'd say, "It was a good fight, but we lost. We are now offering rebates for people to upgrade to the new Blu-Ray drives when they arrive."
