Yep. "Google does not support iTunes, and the top video networks such as NBC, CBS, ABC and Hulu have blocked it out."
So basically GoogleTV can't let me view any of the networks I view most often.:-| Rather than spend $250 for this, I'd rather get a DTVpal DVR which pulls television off the air and records it. Then when I come home, I just playback whatever I missed from last night (primetime) or while at work (mostly movies and international programs). ~40 channels free of charge.

I just heard on the radio today that cops arrested some Maryland Libertarians who were trying to collect signatures to appear on the state ballot. The LP members were asked to stop, and then when one of them whipped out a camera to document the unconstitutional limitation (the MD SC already ruled in favor of ACORN that petitioning is legal), the cops arrested them for assault.
This is the second time. About two weeks ago a motorcyclist with a helmet cam was arrested when he posted a traffic stop on youtube. The cop had pulled a gun on the citizen w/o identifying himself AS a cop (he was plain clothes), and then the Police Bureau arrested the man after the Chief saw the video online. It seems Maryland is turning into a tyranny.
I've found that having a fast Java(script) engine doesn't matter when your laptop has a 600 megahertz CPU, or slower ~2001 era hard drive. It sits there and momentarily-freezes while the page loads. The code is fast but too CPU intensive. (shrug). Puppy Lucid 10.04 Linux has a few nice browsers for limited, older computers like FirePuppy (very simple) and Non-google Chromium (small memory footprint).
SeaMonkey Navigator beta 2 is scheduled to release this week too (although it might get postponed 'til after the christmas break).
Yeah I too noticed that amazon (US) packaging went downhill. They used to put all the books inside shrinkwrap to protect them, but lately it seems they got lazy and just tossed them inside the box. Or if the book is shrinkwrapped, they are careless and bend a corner. I've been giving Amazon "1 star" on their packaging feedback.
As for brick stores: - Last year when the economy was dumping, I was able to get some really good deals from JCPenney like $11 Arizona jeans, $5 sweaters, and $15 Rockports. BUT for the most part shopping in a brick store is a waste of cash. You waste money on gasoline, you waste time on traveling there, and the prices are almost double the same price on Amazon.com or Ebay.com.
This year I spent about $200 on christmas presents (videogames) ALL online, and all finished in just one day (sunday). Plus average cost was just $11-12 per game.
foxnews is 2% advanced and 73% intermediate cnn.com is 2% advanced and 70% intermediate pbs.org/news is 1% advanced - 84% intermediate slashdot is 1% advanced and 64% intermediate. And the surprise: MSnbc is 0.5% advanced and 55% intermediate
"Tut-tut. I think I am experiencing cognitive dissonance. Obviously this google formula is flawed because everyone knows NBC is the best source for unbiased news. And FOX #1 in reading level? Bah. Humbub." - MSnbc viewer smoking his pipe. (I'm just joking - put down the guillotine.)
Don't forget GM. And Toyota (engines overheating & sludging at 20,000 miles; batteries dying in priuses; brakes the computer is programmer to ignore; warranties that are blamed on the customer ("you only changed the oil every 7000 miles") instead of being honored).
Yeah anyone who opens their eyes and pays attention can see all the TV channels (except FOX and TBN) are STATIST organization.
Some would use the label "corporatist" which also fits. ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS buddy-up to government and government gives them money, monopoly, and favorable laws.
40 billion Bailout was for General Electric, which of course runs MSNBC. No wonder they are so pro-government - The government gives them free money m& other bennies.
"No they just receive a 40 billion bailout from their buddies in DC. Their hosts said the election of Senator Rand Paul will be personally responsible for a worldwide depression in 2011. They showed a black man carrying a rifle at an Obama rally, used video editing to chop the guy's head off, and then claimed it was video of white racists."
At the end of the day FOX is still watched by 4 times as many viewers as MSNBC - why? Because it is close to where most Middle Americans lie in their views. Most americans DON'T want government ordering them around like a Jew in 1935 Germany. (Yeah I know - they are soooo dumb to think that way.)
To force me to deal with persons I don't like, is equivalent to forcing me to eat shit that I don't like.
This just in:
In order to increase recylcing and reduce the damage to our environment, Congress has passed a law requiring all Americans to eat shit. "Half the food remains undigested! Such a waste. Clearly it needs to pass through the human gullet twice, which is why I proudly voted 'aye' on this bill." - Congresscritter
"Where is your authority to do this?"
"It's in the Good'n'Plenty clause of the Constitution." - CC
I don't see that it's any more accurate than FOX, although it's certainly more libertarian. In fact the Reason Editor would probably let your grandma lay in the street and starve rather than help her. It's an EXTREME form of libertarianism - cold and heartless like Ebenezer.
Pay cash (or credit card) for trivial trash like doctor's visits or root canals or Outpatient surgery. (2) Only buy insurance to handle the expensive items you can not afford, like cancer. (3) Provide a safety net like Welfare to pay poor person's bills, or persons who have run out of money, so they don't die.
Makes perfect logical sense, which is why the liberal will reject it. Liberals would rather drive our national debt to 20 trillion dollars. (That's almost $200,000 per US household)
It's on the "ABOUT US" page of the World Public Opinion website. Not that hard to locate.
Thanks. It does indeed says WPO is managed by the University of Maryland & I've met the professors. They are statists. Most are Democrat and some are even self-acknowledged Communists. It is not surprising they created a Survey to insult the channel FOX News. In fact I know at least one prof who think FOX News should be yanked off the air.
No sense. China is basically a fascist state (private corporations but Run by the government). Would you describe China as "right wing"? Obviously not. It's a leftist country, as was the Socialist Russia and Workers Party of 1930s Germany.
Right now I'm seeing a lot of the same ideas come from Self-proclaimed "progressive" Hillary Clinton, Obama, Pelosi, and others "left" American politicans.
An Engineer or Programmer who doesn't have $20,000 cash (or available credit from a card, or bank loan) is a person who can't handle money. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Even I have over $100,000 saved and I'm just a lowly tech. If I got hit my a sudden $20K pacemaker install, I could easily handle the bill myself. After all I bought a $35K lexus.... if I could dig up that much cash for a luxury toy, I can do the same to save my life.
"As government grows, liberty wanes." - Thomas Jefferson. A man with an estimated IQ over 160 and far more knowlegeable than any of us.. If he said it, then I consider it to be true. Other wise men like James Madison and Benjamin Franklin agreed with him. And since you are dumbere than they, anything you say (or C64 _dick says) is worthless.
This is an obvious, biased survey by a liberal, Democrat State-funded university.

The word "moving" is appropriate. NBC's CEO has discussed several times the possibility of quitting broadcast and becoming a cable-only channel. He said in an interview, "The cable model is better and more stable than the ad-supported model. We want to become more like our cable properties MSNBC and Syfy which have been very profitable even during this downturn."
How is Europe any different? The EU and its Member States have plenty of monopolies, duopolies, and cartels too. Some of those monopolies are run by the government itself. The grandparent implied* the US is a corporate serfdom, while the EU is paradise, and it's simply not true.
* "at least [the EU] is not...the cartel-friendly state the US has become."
