I will keep an open mind on this, but I will assert that I think that it was foolish for Microsoft to say that. I bet the hackers will see that as a challenge that they WILL overcome.
I will have to look at this closely to see if it might be sensitive engough to qualify as a good shortwave receiver. It would be cool to control it from my computer. I know some top end receivers already offer that option, but this is affordable.
You don't throw good money after bad when you get a losing poker hand. Perhaps they realized that their India operation was a mistake. I suspect that the beans will get spilled eventually.
MS has the resources to do it alone, but the real problem is coming up with a gimmick that will capture the web community. That is becoming more and more difficult.
I have never had a problem with Microsoft or Google. Are they perfect? Of cousre not. And yes, I have worked with a LOT of operating systems over the many years I have dealt with computers. I think that success always attracts the detractors.
Pardon any mispellings. I have been hitting the Newcastle Brown Ale a bit much.
I maintain 4 websites, do web surfing, and email. I have little use for broadband especially at the current prices. If it gets cheap enough, I will get it and maybe fill up more than 8 gig of this 4+ year old 40 gig disk.
I won't pay more for something I would rarely use. It would be like buying a very expensive 160 mph sports car and only using it to drive to the store a mile away.

This enginneering marvel made bumper to bumper rush hour possible.
It seemed to be a very formidible challenge and I think MS was the first to attempt it. No cigar this time, but perhaps in the future.
How am I going to keep my beer cold? I refuse to do like the Europeans do and drink WARM beer.
How can you get laid in it?
n. A robot must never ever run (shudder) *nix.
Now the RIAA/MPAA/FUD are going to demand that such a device be put into every possible digital recording device.
Attempt to copy a protected product and BAM, your hard drive is toast.
That is excellent and I hope it gets widespread exposure.
Now what I would really like to see is it broadcast on the major tv channels. Let me know if hell is freezing over.

Someone could make some SERIOUS money off that meteorite.
You can cram a cookie up your butt to lure it out.

I still have my stash I prepared for the Y2K crises.
Mmmm. I think some of this stuff needs to be updated. And all the beer I stashed is long gone.

Is there ANYTHING that Best Buy doesn't suck at?

The technology is very young. Give it enough time and it MAY come to fruition. But in the end, it does seem very scifi.
I might buy one at $300, but I want to see the final version first. This is just a prototype and the final version might be very different.
Slashdot marketing has been watching too much Teletubbies.

That may well be true. Often, there are often unintended negative consequences to what we do no matter how good the planning is.
Hard lessons learned, I hope.
Updating Windows without a reboot is truly a sign of the end times.
If it is blurry, it is art.
Will this mean the end of artsy photos?
Tell that to the "politically correct" fascists who think otherwise.
I see copyrighting a keylogger as similar to patenting "breaking and entering."
It is too damn early to have a beer...
