    And you fail at reading comprehension. The GP didn't claim that the iMac predates iiNet, only that it came before the iPod.

    I'm beginning to suspect it could be intentional for free advertising at this point.

    Only if they're advertising iPhones or BlackBerrys.

  15. Re:TV Viewership will go down? on Political Sites Scale Up For Election Traffic · · Score: 1

    You've misunderstood my point - what I was getting at was that compared to the amount of space required for your piano, the additional space required for a TV is pretty small (although I foolishly neglected to consider fully the line of sight).

    I didn't mean that owning the piano was odd - I'm in no real sense a musician; more of a wannabe unfortunately. Even still, if I had the space and the cash I'd have a piano in a heartbeat.

    But I'd still find room for my TV!

  18. Re:TV Viewership will go down? on Political Sites Scale Up For Election Traffic · · Score: 1

    That piano must be a tight fit if it precludes owning a TV. Also, given that you appear to have a computer, a TV would take no additional space if you used a tuner card. If TV's not for you that's just fine, but #2 seems like an odd rationale.

  23. Re:As always with DRM on Doom9 Researchers Break BD+ · · Score: 1

    But not all BD players (or even PS3s) are connected to the net. Updating the firmware would be far less trivial, especially for the average user. I understand that content providers seem to get a kick out of inconveniencing consumers, but they'd be facing a major backlash if they suddenly froze out a particular player.
