  1. Does nobody remember AOL? that was their model on Is Bad Customer Service More Profitable Than Good? (hbr.org) · · Score: 1

    Does nobody remember how AOL handled things?

    http://www.nbcnews.com/id/1030...

  2. One reason why not - horrible 3D! on A Case For Why Movie-Theater Experience Is Still Worth the Effort (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Was thinking of doing the double header movie for the new Guardians of the Galaxy - but the theaters near me are only doing it in 3D.

    Who can handle wearing those horrible glasses for 4+ hours?

  3. Maybe now ebooks will be cheaper then paper? on Supreme Court Rejects Apple eBooks Price-Fixing Appeal (reuters.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    That would be a nice change. Its the biggest reason why I dont really read many ebooks. I can get the paperback version much - much cheaper then the ebook version.

  4. What is the app availability? on NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Reviewed: Gaming and Possibly the Ultimate 4K Streamer · · Score: 1

    The big problem many of these types of boxes have is the limited availability of support of streaming networks.

    Does it support the CW, what about Max Go? So far most of the boxes that I have looked at only have a limited selection of apps that will work.

    My android phone has more streaming video support then Fire TV, Roku, Shield, etc.

    Whoever can figure out that a small app store for your device isnt the right way to go will get my money.

  5. Where is the vmware app? Need simple testing on Android Needs a Simulator, Not an Emulator · · Score: 1

    Android needs to make it much simpler. I don't want to spend a ton of time configuring a OS. Provide some premade vm's for the Google devices and I can use real devices for the other testing. Make it easier for me to get QA and Business users to do testing, and not a major headache that eclipse setup is.

  6. Now if they have mp4 conversion that keeps menus.. on RealNetworks To Introduce a Simple DVD Copier · · Score: 1

    I personally use dvd fab, and very happy with it for backup purposes.

    But what I really would like to find is a dvd ripper that will also convert to mpeg 4 - but in addition keep all of the extras. Allow me to play that off my media server, and keep the controls.

  7. Increased prices? on Netgear Introduces Linux-Based NAS Devices · · Score: 1

    That's a heck of a prosumer price, I think their new pricing is going to be a problem

    I was getting ready to purchase an Infrant bare bones when I saw that they were bought out. I initially was happy with the idea that Netgear was picking them up - but they ended up raising prices. Maybe there are more niche users with that type of budget - but that at the price levels that they are offering, and the increases, I don't see it going to that large a market.

    Consider you can get 4 320 GB 16 mb cache Seagate sata drives for $240 at Best Buy this week, adding a good nas and you're good to go. But at their entry prices...

    Maybe we will see some generics going after their share. Another possibility is Thecus - that seems to be the better performance choice to compete against the new Netgears.

  8. Morale questions? on More Lich King Details, Apologies For Burning Crusade? · · Score: 1

    Okay, two questions. Lol

    What moral questions does WOW have? That is one of the flaws in it. You only can progress - quests are complete or not - you do not have alternative choices.

    The only thing even close to a moral question was the one to support the pirates or not in SV. And those that did never had any progression down that path after the initial quest chain.

  9. Itemization? on More Lich King Details, Apologies For Burning Crusade? · · Score: 1

    The one I question I have is what will they do on itemization. BC broke the progression rate that they had been at for 1-60. (and I do not count the tier 5/6 stuff)
