I play games and use the internet while I am watching movies.
Playing any streaming content impairs my game playing and internet usage. I do not see an end my bandwidth limitations in the near future.
I buy and rent DVDs and Blurays to keep my outside bandwidth to a minimum. This allows me to conserve my internet bandwidth and still watch movie content in the best quality possible.
I think Netflix jumped the gun on the technology. Streaming is here to stay, but until the bandwidth limitations of the current internet become "non-existent", streaming content will continue to be something I use only when I have nothing better for my computer to do.
(I have dropped Netflix after the most recent changes. I got tired of the price increases for bluray access and their last increase caused my to drop them. I did not find their streaming content very attractive either. I buy my movies now. I had Netflix for several years and they had a great turnaround time on their rental service.).
And change for the sake of change is not a correct attitude for any human interface. I would love to see your justfication for "the ribbon is an improvement in user interface design". It IS personal.
Since when is sushi defined by seaweed? It may be used, but sushi is primarily based upon a sweet-vinegary rice with fish. Sushi is not defined as a seaweed product.
So, why does the article, and many of the comments tie these together so directly? It would have been a much better article only discussing the seaweed aspect.
FLASH: 2015 California - The legislature has finally enabled legislation to have all infants tattooed with a warning on their wrists that states: "WARNING: Life may or may not be hazardous to your health". Proponents of the bill are ecstatic: "We have protected the children and they will not forget the warning even into adulthood."
A new entry for you Buzzword Bingo cards. The big question is whether "Agile Computing" and "Agile Development" should be separate squares or lumped under "Agile"?
They should be different terms.
Last year, I completed a course on Agile Systems in which I thought we were going to study Agile Development. Though I should have perhaps understood from the course title, Agile Systems/Processes/Computing is not the same as Agile Development.
Agile Development is a type of Agile System. It is an agile system that is applied to software development. There are agile business systems and agile computing systems. The term applies to the characteristic that the process itself is agile and able to be adapted as required to the situation. A business that can adapt can be said to be an agile business.
So, you can make an Agile Computing System using Agile OR Waterfall Development. Or you could make a a more static system using either development method as well.

... downloaded from CNet for my first time ever. I got the blasted toolbar, converted to Bing and had random background audio advertising to me.
I used them because I had a good impression of CNet. Bad choice.
Streaming media is a problem.

Right....
My work forced me to use the ribbon interface.
It sucks and continues to suck.

Not to worry. They will just charge more to make up the revenue.
