I never have liked zdnet, because i have noticed similar occurances in the past, and this just puts me off them even more.

I'm agreeing with both michael and fred, why can't they make a tee without the semi-offensive tagline, i wouldn't hesitate to go right ahead and buy one if that was the case. not now.

What a good idea would be WIFi devices using less power. Or else making allowances for more people to use WiFi

Hmm...

Re: Let’s repeat: everything is about HDTV

thespy — Sat, 24 Jun 2006 00:04:46 -0000

Blu-ray wins - totally smashes HD DVD, larger storage, and better still, not supported by microsoft, wish it was though.

Re: HD DVD, why it sucks might not be why you think

thespy — Sat, 24 Jun 2006 00:12:13 -0000

Yeah the reason WHY, I repeat WHY HD DVD players cost more than BLURAY is because they come without burners what WITHOUT, yes that's right, now if that's called improvement i don't know what it is.

I'm gonna stick to the BluRay side and it's gonna win in the end, even if microsoft is going to lose the HD war

Re: Browser wars (Opera ships)

thespy — Sat, 24 Jun 2006 06:46:20 -0000

Hi again,

Very interesting topic this one, I've played around with previous opera versions, but haven't gotten around to trying out Opera 9.
I agree with you on the speed of the browser and the bittorrent integration, oh and by the way what are you going to be taping?

Opera's mini is nice for the mobiles, but i think i'll be sticking to Firefox for now, as I don't use I.E. 7 yet (I've tryed it out once, and it's awfully hard to navigate around.)
The reason i like Firefox so much is that it's very customisable, and there are many extensions to choose from.

anyway, I think that's enough of my thoughts for now...

Re: Microsoft music player to come?

thespy — Thu, 06 Jul 2006 07:42:59 -0000

Forget apple Ipod - go all other brands, including microsoft - take on apple in the portable music player war.

Die ipod! may other players reign.

anyways that's what I think!

Re: Cool Windows XP downloads

Yeah, The most interesting blog entries of recent times are the ones that some readers think are the driest.

I am definitely will be one more reader to replace the sad loss of one of your readers, and I'm sure there'll be more too.

In reply to a previous comment I think it'd be great if you'd put a poll for some of your posts, since there are so many other readers out there, I'm sure most of them can't even be bothered to comment on some of the entries, but if there's a poll, you never know what the results might be!

Oh and to Jake, I've got the mop for Pranab's bleeding heart, but I think it's too late, Scoble's gone from his live.com feed now :(

Not to worry, the scobleizer has just been added to mine :D

Re: Vista beta testers mad about forced startup sound

thespy — Thu, 24 Aug 2006 06:24:29 -0000

I'm sure there is or will be some way to disable this feature, I mean think of how many features there are in windows xp that can be diabled (if you have the time or can be bothered enough to).

But whether or not that is allowed by MS is a different matter.

Funny thing what "mttsmnw" said about how they did copy another feature off the mac. indeed! how dare someone even suggest that! (I didn't say that, that was MS talking:D )

Re: If I were a product planner, I’d be hanging out at Apple stores

thespy — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 07:03:36 -0000

Yeah: about bebo, which is not just limited to ireland, there are tons of people that actually are on there from australia, and the US.

As for Apple logging everything that everone does, now don't go giving them evil ideas :D , remember Google "don't be evil"

Re: Two Zunes arrived…

Sorry Scoble, you're no longer 3rd on Google for "Zune Review", you're actually 8th :)

Re: Intel’s blogger challenge

thespy — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 06:53:54 -0000

I know this is totally unrelated to what you just blogged about,

I've noticed at the top of your blog, how it says - "About me", then immediately below that "Buy from Amazon"!

Wow! Best Price $12.77 or Buy New $16.47 :P

looks a bit odd in my opinion :)

Is it just me that noticed or have others seen it as well?

Re: I love reading feeds

thespy — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 21:25:14 -0000

1) Yes you are putting slightly too many items on your link blog.
2) I was usually just going to the link from my bookmarks, and I just subscribed to your link blog feed.
3)I actually only just discovered the link blog feature :)
My link is http://www.google.com/reader/shared/14699523012...

Re: I love reading feeds

There may not be any results on google with that search , but there is with this one http://www.google.com/search?q=%22pirillo+weddi...
:)

btw, I've only checked out your scobleshow a few times, but are any of them downloadable?
reason why - at home I'm on a slow internet connection, but I can download at my college, and watch at home...

You forgot the other necessary conditions for entering:

"Show us how much space you don’t have left on your hard drive by posting a screen shot of your computer’s hard drive (free and used space pie chart) – so we know you need more!
- Leave a comment on this blog post with your first and last name and permalink to your blog post."

heheh. yes I just realised that, even I hadn't fully read the details.

Re: Digg’s down?

thespy — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 03:55:40 -0000

Yeah I've noticed the same, it was up for a few hours I believe, but so far it's been down about an hour.

Re: Digg’s down?

thespy — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 04:55:01 -0000

Seems to be up again, or is it? :)

Re: Why I read feeds, thanks Paul Thurrott

thespy — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 10:50:16 -0000

With mixed feelings I read that post by Paul, having never fully realised as Bill Dalsen commented previously "the humanity of content creators."

My best wishes go out to Paul & his son, hoping that he'll be on the road to recovery.

My father lived nearby to Professor Clark when he was a kid, and I believe that he would have met him at one point in time. It was also interesting to read of Anthony Caruana meeting him, wow it seems like such a small world.

Re: Reading feeds

thespy — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 06:41:39 -0000

wowwwwww, I simply had no idea you read THAT MANY! items, let alone subscribed to that many feeds!!!

keep up the good work of the link blog, what would you do without google reader!

Re: Is it worse to be late, or a serial rescheduler?

thespy — Fri, 08 May 2009 20:12:24 -0000

I think I was replying to another tweet in the picture, in answer to your question: the serial rescheduler is definitely worse.
