I just love surveys since they can be the opposite of reality. So while 1 in 8 say they'll cut the cord, cable and satellite subscriptions are at an all time high.

Handbrake is abandoning the container avi which yes, DivX supports, but DivX also uses the MKV container which is still supported by Handbrake. It is confusing I know, but if you are going to write for Slashdot you had better be able to keep up.
It wasn't Elisha Gray either, it was actually Daniel Drawbaugh. And yes I'm related to him.

Of course everyone would know this if he wouldn't have lost the patent case.
Not sure how ars spent all this time on this article and didn't ever say why consumer electronics companies have yet to release a stand alone STB.
It's because of the lack of support for the OpenCable platform. No consumer electronics company is going to release a one-way stb and the only way to have two way is to support OpenCable (formerly OCAP). But the problem is that most cable companies don't support it, since it was just recently ratified by CableLabs. Once OpenCable is more widespread you will see more devices deploying CableCARDs, but I doubt you will ever see that many stand alone STBs, cause most people would rather not have a box at all.
Let me get this straight, Cisco blamed the outage on the iPhone?
How could any single device be allowed to take down the network? It's just a WiFi client, the network shouldn't let this happen.
Of course it's Cisco's fault.
Honestly I was too much of a geek to watch TV untill I bought a HDTV. I was too busy on my computer to concern myself with my parent's past time. TV seemed too 20th century. But when I bought a HDTV, all of that changed. When I told my wife I was going to buy a HDTV, her reply was "But you don't even watch TV", which I replied with, "But it's High Definition"
I started to watch enterprise when they started broadcasting it in HD here in Tampa FL last season and now it is one of my favorite shows.
Now I am sure that all the programs on Sci-Fi Channels are great, but untill they start to broadcast in HD, I won't know. Currently my HD-Tivo record over 30 shows, all HD shows. I don't have time to watch all of those. So there is no way I will have time to watch any non-HD showes.

Great theory except their sister company Warner Bros sells their content on there too.
