Archos Jukebox Multimedia Reviewed

Posted by timothy on from the do-everything dept.

An anonymous reader points to Richard Menta's review of the Archos Jukebox Multimedia (mentioned in this earlier Slashdot posting). Here's a snippet from the review: "Right now my wife and I are watching an old episode of a TV show no longer broadcast in our area or available tape. How are we watching it? We are playing it off of a 9oz. MP3 player -- where I have digitally stored the episode -- hooked up to the small TV in our room and inconspicuously placed on top."

    A fleet of rabid attack lawyers has been dispatched to the area regarding an alleged copyright infrigement. No comment on whether prosecutors will seek the death penalty.

    Hey, tell us about the time you robbed a liquour store too. "Because, shucks, that brand of booze wasn't available in my area, so, gee, I decided to STEAL SOME."

    Take your copyrite infringmeent tools elsewhere, pirate. Good thing oyu didn't say what show it was or the feds'll be no-knocking your ass in no time flat!

    I know what you're saying, as you nervously look down at your shoes and sweat: but officer, we watched the commercials, and it was such an old show....

    DOESN'T MATTER! You're in possession of a device that can fAST FORWARD over commercials! Even if you never push the fast forwrd button, it means you're a criminal, just like the DC sniper, who's taken EIGHT INNOCENT LIVES already!

    WHEN WILL YOU THEIVES LEARN?

    What does your wife think of you submitting a story to Slashdot while allegedly wating TV with her?

    "No, honey I do not love that computer more than you." Please, please don't ask about the laptop ...

    Make it 80 gigs, add some TiVo software with a bluetooth basestation attached to the cable box, and this can record shows whenever it's laying around the house.

    To dream a little further, integrate an iPod and Palm OS, add a build in projector, make it float in the tub and usable in the shower (pr0n?).
