ReplayTV DVR to Remove Features

KarlTheGhoul writes "D&M Holdings Inc. on Tuesday said its new ReplayTV digital television recorder will not include controversial features such as automatically skipping commercials and sharing shows via the Internet." This is a confirmation of our earlier story. Their new ad slogan will be "Costs More, Less Useful".

    Other posters correctly point out that /. editors never claimed objectivity on anything they report.

    That said, childish editorial only makes the site look unprofessional, and reflects poorly upon those who run it.

    There's a Mercedes gap too. I want one and can't afford one, but it's not government's job to do anything about it.

    Where is it stated as a requirement that Slashdot editors be unbiased?

    It's not a Slashdot requirement, it's a requirement of legitimate journalism. But hey, maybe Slashdot doesn't aspire to that. (If that's the case, I would ask they take the word 'news' off their masthead.)

    As I say every time he spouts off, if Michael has an opinion about a story submission, he should post it as a comment in response to the story, the same way the rest of us have to. It's an abuse of his position (however flippantly the editors take their duties) to use the story summary as a soapbox for his personal opinions.
