A cynical person might begin to wonder if there's some kind of deal between NW and/. in order to drive traffic to NW so they get the ad-impressions. Now where would be find anybody so cynical on this website?
In Henrico County, Virginia, the school system supplies laptops to all middle school and high school students. They used to be MacBooks, but I think they use Dell now.

When you open a new tab, a list of recently closed tabs is available.
Aside from that, and it's been covered all over this post, they've publicly stated that they are working on Mac and Linux versions, as well as an add-on framework.
Most importantly, nobody is forcing you to use Chrome. If your list of requirements is absolute, then just don't use it. Simple.
When will readers complaining about Slashdot content learn the difference between a submitter and an editor? And that selective comprehension doesn't help either?
TFA (actually the link is at http://blog.boxee.tv/ ) does state the AppleTV was not powerful enough for this release, but then goes on in the very next sentence to say "we're still working on it, but don't have a solution, yet.. "
Yes the/. headline is optimistic, if not misleading. The summary is a tad better, but still has a heap o' high hopes.
I'd rather talk about Chromium's nascent plans for extensions, which will hopefully bring AdBlock and NoScript (or at least similar functionality) to Chrome.
Same misleading type of message, but I've apparently gotten signed up for them by some chucklehead can't type his own gmail address. The first email I got from them said "confirm your membership" which of course I didn't. And big surprise, there's nothing in that email that will let me say "hey, you've got the wrong man." (I spell my name . . . Danger). And even though I didn't confirm "my" membership, I still got additional email with "1 Search for Joe Doaks - Find Out Who!"

IIRC, you can't make a purchase without setting up an account. On the account setup page is a pretty clear description of their hatred of spam, a link to their privacy policy, and a drop down box in which you can select whether or not you want the newsletter. They lose some points for having it default to YES, but it's not like they tried to hide it either.
And if you're creating an account on any website without checking carefully for defaulted opt-ins, then you have to turn in your geek card.
He's barely coherent, but I think what he's saying is that if Joe Consumer, who currently watches shows via Hulu or nbc.com, will stop doing that and start using his brand new Tivo device.
Totally agree that it's all nonsense though. He's apparently pissed that nobody from TiVo called him back.
As I understood TFA, he's just saying that being able to record shows on your PC with TiVo's device will eliminate the need for people to watch those shows via Hulu. Other than that, it was mostly blah blah blah TiVo blah blah.
Actually, Brian Krebs at the WaPo has a lot of credibility, and has been writing very good well-researched columns on computer security for as long as I've been reading that paper. What's your left arse cheek done lately?

Only the "Big Island" (Hawaii) has an active volcano. The other islands still need alternate sources.

Agreed. This is sadder than when Floyd died, but then again, I never actually played Planetfall.
They do in Hawaii - spam musubi is right there next to the Egg McMuffin on the breakfast menu.
