  1. I don't care about the OS - I'm old and want 3:4 on Windows 8 Passes Vista, Hits 5.1% Market Share · · Score: 0

    I want a decent laptop £:$ screen. If it has a 2560 x 1700 screen .. it's a sale. I wish the Goggle pixel was a little more laptop than cloud device.
    I really don't care about Windows 7 or 8. No version of windows looks good on 1366 x 768 and 1920x1080 just upsets me even of a desktop.
    Maybe I should put an old CRT on wheels and enjoy 1600 x 1200 again.

    I'm happy to pay a subscription for a service that has the all the content which you already have on TPB. The infrastructure part is done. The bandwidth issue is what p2p solves.
    The choice now it make it easy and a few pennies or i'm out. for a film that old film. I have youtube; youporn; youwhatever and games that are better than all of the content they put out.
    If they are that worried about their content being stolen I'd rather the don't make it. It adds nothing. It just a distraction from the things I should really be doing. :)

    Apart from Sky at night and other things on iplayer/factual i've given up with the BBC. Just about all TV content really. Films are no better. I could torrent any film I want. Can I think of anything I want to watch? No. Nothing at all. When I get an Oculus VR I think that's it for passive content for me.

    For old UK content channel4 is good. Their ad server was a pile of buggy crap the last time I used it. but I hope they've fixed that. I'm not too sure about regional blocks. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/4od

    In the UK, the content was so abysmal that "leave it" is what I did. Even if it was DRM free and FREE to use, I still wouldn't have a need to use them. It was like being in a video shop in the late 80s.

    The rumored patent agreements do sting; but if you pour money into something I'm sure you'd want a receipt. I would be in his business mind set to do that.

    Companies know DRM is wrong and they are never front about the DRM they use. The DRM itself hides a lot once installed on you're machine. All the cloak and dagger stuff makes it very untrustworthy in the first place.

    yes; but bloody Skyrim, Batman (bought whilst drunk - makes me sick to see the microsoft DRM load up too) and dishonored at a great price. All made me falter from the pure path i'd kept on it for so long.
    I don't like being tracked and having your games progress shared. I don't like to see the amount of time wasted when I log in. Single player only.
    HOWEVER, I used to spend a fortune on games and now I've only bought a few. and as consoles have held back the PC games minimum spec, I've not bought new hardware either.

    I don't torrent a thing. It really is a lost sale and i'm better off for it.
