I've found Cleaner to be somewhat less userfriendly and stable than Sorenson Squeeze - Squeeze also costs about $100 less. Its does realplayer, quicktime, mpeg files as well as flash SWF and FLV files which are good for cross platform no brainer plays-in-a-window video files. You can also set it up as a watchfolder renderer, so all you have to do is drop new videos into a watched folder and it will automatically render all your set formats.
I see a lot of suggestions here for torrents, divx, etc which are not as wide spread and userfriendly as WMV / QT / FLASH/MPEG options. your best bet is probably to provide multiple format options to hit the widest audience, which can be batch rendered with Cleaner or Squeeze.
..or its much simpler to simply buy the EU and bundle free copies of Euro-Clippy with all products to appease the grumpy naysayers that want 'competition' instead of 'innovation'. Hey look! a paperclip! and its talking to me!
"2005 was thought to be the year of the WiMax launch. Unfortunately, it will now mostly be the year of pre-WiMax," said Vincent Poulbere, a senior consultant at Ovum.
So its official! 2005 is the year of the pre-WiMax. What a great way to say vaporware!
- Sco claims ownership of linux source code! - Apple has released new products! - DVD CSS encryption has been broken! - RIAA threatened by P2P networks! - Darth Vader is Lukes Father! - BSD is dying!

Whats wrong with Corporate Schooling? Think of the positives - no more tax dollars wasted on educating kids, and an unlimited flow of perfect consumers pushing the economy higher and higher and higher!! Whee!
I had a solbourne portable workstation in the early nineties.. It had an optical mouse but required a specific reflective mousepad covered in tiny dots to work.. I've tried tablets, trackballs and other types of input devices, and I still come back to the mouse for daily use.
Not only are they doubling traffic, they can help spread the virus.. I've recieved bounced email containing the virus, since the the return address is randomized this in effect helps to spread the virus. Why include the attachment in a bounce message?
I build all my own PC's and I've never used Pheonix bios, usually AMI or Award. You make it sound like there is there is no alternative to DRM hardware in PC land.
And as far as a computer company that respects your Freedom goes, well, I've tried replacing a 10 dollar lcd display cable in an old power book before and I had to hunt around for one on the grey market because no authorized Apple dealer was permitted to sell the part to an end user. They wanted a couple of hundred dollars for this really simple fix. Thats just goofy. I'll keep my additional $2,000 and my freedom to choose the hardware that goes into my machines thankyouverymuch.
Wow! those sure are some big numbers I just made up. And I bet I know where those losses come from - Radio. Think about it, where else can you get *TONS* of music for free? And after hearing how damn crappy most of it is, who's going to buy the cd?
Yeah.. and I'm *really* looking forward to the voice activated TV:
TVsound: Remove tough stains with "easy off *shutdown*
Viewer: "tv turn on"
TVsound:..Its your chance to save huge on everything in store! Save up to 70 percent off *shutdown*
Viewer: dammit. "TV ON"!
TVsound: I think these eggs have gone off *shutdown"
Viewer: damn "TV ON"! and stay ON!
TVsound: Up next on CrapNet a special presentation movie - "Battlefield Earth" staring...
Viewer: Aaaagh "TV OFF"! "OFF"! Please! OFF NOW!
Yeah, and I'd be really mad if our government did that and I suddenly stopped recieving my portion of the nations income from selling TLD's. This is not cost re-distribution, Its revenue re-distribution - theres a difference. In this case the money coming in from the sale of.nu is going to pay for bandwidth for the entire island rather than a bigger house for a CEO.
You're right somebody is paying, but its not the islanders, its the people buying.nu domains.
Heh.. yeah, thats like "the last book you'll ever read" by Dr. Tommorow (AKA Frank Ogden).. I read that book around '92 - Funny thing is I've actually read other books since, printed on old fashioned dead trees (how 20th century of me!)..
The internets not dying, its evolving into a new and improved state where nobody will have to make decisions anymore, and all the voices will be trustworthy. This is great news! Think of all the oppourtunity the future holds for trustworthy news of fantastic new products!

Dont Believe it! The internet is not good for anything other than Piracy & Evil! The Internet has never been of any benefit in any human endeavor. Even now the internet is dying on the firewalls!
Don't fall into the trap of thinking you can "make a difference".. Don't oppose the decisions of the government, that would be undemocratic of you. They know whats best for you, they are provided all the info they need on these issues by well-paid professionals.
Just sit back and take it easy.. writing letters is hard. Hey! whats on TV? could be you're missing a reeeealy good show! Nothing more to see here, move along..

Have you been using it for long? How convoluted is the set-up. Do you have to manually add the info for those pretty screenshots, or is their a flawless interface with IMDB databases? In short, whats the user experience like?
..and I never knew that Bob Marley did the soundtrack to pulp fiction.. Any idea why those songs and album info dont match in this screenshot?

'The fate of TiVo also highlights the dilemma facing a lot of "exploding TV" start-ups.',
ok, I admit I'm not real familiar with the latest in television technology, but exploding TV's? what could possibly be the upside of that? faced with that sort of danger you'd definately want a TV-b-Gone. I'd say if their TV's are exploding TiVo's fate has definately been sealed.
