I also wonder how microsoft will react. They want to get a version of their OS on cable boxes.
I doubt that many people would be sorry to see PowerTV go away, ugly creature that it is, but to be replaced by some flavor of Windows? You never know, I guess, but Linux does seem more likely, since it's already out there running a bunch of set-top boxes...
But if you have cellphone with a reasonable plan, do you even NEED VoIP?
Yes, because VoIP is still a lot closer to free for international calls (USA to Brazil in my case) than a cell phone with any kind of plan, reasonable or otherwise...
Not so strange. You spelled it wrong. A search for "South Park" (note the space) turns up a few hits. If you were hoping for lots of hits from the show itself, you might want to read this page to see which networks they're working with so far.
So my browser and I visited the URL, checked some boxes, hit Submit, and... Nothing Happened. Well, the page reloaded with all the boxes checked, but that's it.
Somebody please point out the painfully obvious thing that I'm missing here. See, I was expecting to get a page with the URL for my custom RSS feed, so I could then point my headline-grabber script at it. Is that not the idea here?
Maybe the most obvious candidate to challenge this patent is Apple, since AOL recently got cozy with Microsoft again.
iChat does exactly what the patent application talks about by putting up a "thought bubble" with an ellipsis in it next to your name as you type, and replaces it with your text when you're done typing.
Gee, that's an interesting version of the article. The one I read was from Austin, not Houston, failed to mention Palladium, mentioned reducing porting challenges, and didn't mention Apple and WebTV, among other things...
Please mod the parent down. Either it's a failed attempt at humor, or it's a deliberate attempt to deceive and confuse.
Linux need a subset, independent from its parent. Much like embedded Linux is a subset of Linux. A Linux for the masses, One distribution for Everyone Else.
If someone wanted to emulate these products it doesn't look to be that hard...most of the web interface is just some shell scripting in your choice of scripting languages.
So if this is so easy, has anybody done it? I've been looking for an open-source administrative tool like Cobalt's for a while now, with no success.
Any ideas? Or is this about to become my new project, to learn all about web scripting?

I guess eVision were just too early to market with their visual search engine. Here's a demo or three of eVe in action.
It sure was cool, just too far ahead of its time...

Along with an oblig A tory correction. Sheez, if you're going to correct someone's spelling...
Hell yeah we do! Who's gonna take the place of all the AOL users now that they can't get at Usenet?

OMG that's funny! That's one of the better trolls I've read in a long time.
Actually, they're still using the cool logo, just not on the front page of their site. See here, for example.
Noticed the fix today. Thanks for replying!

Nope. According to netcraft:
Netcraft confirms it: Cobalt is dying!

Stop thinking like a geek!
By "indexing", they mean creating a list of every place a particular phoneme occurs. Think of an index like you find in the back of a book...
If you're running OS X on that PowerBook, then no, this won't affect you. The bug affects OS 9 and lower.

Sort of like SEUL, you mean?
Single End-User Linux is what they want to do. Interesting project. Check it out!

Hmm, methinks someone forgot that you can download *trailers* for movies...
The Toy Story 2 trailer and some outtakes are available right on the Apple site at http://www.apple.com/trai lers/disney/toystory2/index.html.
