Just give it a chance fellas! SP1 is coming out real soon and hopefully it wont be as bad as Vista's original release. Well at least it'll get more people to buy Vista anyway.
If M$ gets their way, they'd have you use openSUSE, every bit as good as Ubuntu IMHO. BTW: Anyone tried running anything but YellowDog or Fedora on a PS3?
It means that sports has become the last true cash-cow for broadcast TV with ESPN now going the PPV route to show some college sports on cable TV, and for radio with broadcast radio going the way of the dinosaur. All it's good for these days is sports coverage if you don't have the $$$ to pony up for satellite radio, and leave us not forget the people who regularly check scores on their mobile phones while at the dinner table.
PSubuntu, maybe? Not too far fetched. I'm sure Ubuntu could be re-formatted to work with the PS3 and maybe even the PS2. It'd have to be running the XFCE desktop or something leaner than that.
No shit! Outlook Express should be re-branded if not blown off the face of the earth all together. Thunderbird has won the all-in-one messaging app battle and it sure as heck gets along just fine with IE amd Opera.
Well, it's not really worthless. But to take sides with the author of this article, it's worthless in the fact that it can't be used to surf the web (outside the Zune webspace, that is). If you wanted to do that, you'd go for the PSP who's browser is top-notch for being in a gaming device and its media player just happens to be capable of playing music purchased from iTunes. Sony and Apple can be such strange bedfellows, don't ya' think?
Yeah, really, and let us thank CERT and the Department of Homeland Security for falling asleep at the switch and letting these assholes beat 'em to the punch.
The only problem with Opera 9 is that it's widgets are tied to the browser which means that if you terminate Opera your widgets die also. If you're gonna' do the widget thing, you're much better off running Yahoo Widgets along with IE or Firefox.
IE 7's toolbar placement is kinda' weird right now. Gone is the Windows logo icon that 'glimmers' when a site is being loaded and which takes you to the Windows Explorer website when clicked on. The Firefox-like search bar is a nice touch though but it's still missing quite a few sites (Answers.com, BitTorrent to name a few).

TROLL! TROLL! TROLL! TROLL! TROLL! TROLL! TROLL! TROLL!:p
Instead of giving you the actual HTML of your spreadsheet, it displays a duplicate of your spreadsheet in a seperate window/tab. This duplicate cannot be edited. The URL for this thing is the most long-ass URL I've ever seen and doesn't give any indication that it's an HTML file. Geesh, I was hoping to be able to use this to get spreadsheet clippings into my website.
No shit! Companies like GameFly, Games 'n Flix and it's brethren would rather throw in the towel than carry on their biz without Sony. Sony really thinks they can take their ball and go home. Geesh!
Sounds like all the XBox fanboys out there have become Mr. Softee's minions and have orders from him to induce competitor-related FUD like this, scary thought.
for the Mac OSX/BootCamp fanboys out there since the combination of Mac OSX and Windows XP is far superior to Vista apparently. The Register was probably waiting for Intel to put their CPU in the Mac prior to breaking this 'bad' news. Those Brits sure are clever.
Probably not, but I can't see why Google can't kiss and make up with Apple and create a 'Google iPod'. Hey, Apple let HP put their sticker on this thing, why not Google? This could be a nice add-on to Google's hardware offerings which for now just include the Google Server.
I'm sure that in this day and age the big OS makers have to share their tech secrets to some extent (even if they aren't secrets at all). Windows' ALT-TAB process switching has been in KDE for quite a while, but it took a while for the KDE programmers to get it right IMHO (how well it worked depended on your Linux distro's default settings).
I'm surprised to see widgets in Vista, there appear to be a lot more useful ones than what Yahoo and Apple offer. Sorta' makes you wonder why Google isnt' doing that kinda' thing now (as for Yahoo's widgets, I only use the e-mail checker).
sports fans who want to record the game they're attending. I know a lot of college sports followers that do that. It'd be cool if Verizon could get this up by next college football season if not March Madness time.
Time-Warner and its Turner Broadcasting unit have been doing the same thing with their http://www.gametap.com/ site - advertising on TBS, Cartoon Network and The WB to name a few. Although a totally different biz than what MySpace is in, it does cater to that same audience. I woudn't be surprised to see NBCUniversal try something like this next considering that NBC has quite a bit of teen/tween-targeted programming on Saturday mornings and that it has control of WWE's TV ops on USA Network (albeit not full control just yet)
Let us hope and pray that NBC doesn't try another PPV experiment like they did with the summer games a few years ago. I don't really care who I'm getting my content from, but having to pay for it really sucked eggs. GEEZ!:o
More than likely. A lot of folks on the West Coast get shut out of this stuff 'cause of time zone differences and video streaming is a big help when it comes to that. It won't however be much of a help for folks who want to watch the event in HDTV though.
But I thought Samsung had already tied the knot with Napster some time ago. Have they oh so quietly 'divorced'? Besides, players from legacy electronics manufacturers (i.e Samsung, RCA, Philips) are so lacking these days IMHO. Amazon.com would be smart to make a deal with one of the new kids on the block (i.e. Creative, iRiver).
Opera appears to be stepping into Access Systems' turf with this offering. Access Systems is of course the maker of NetFront which is the WAP browser on Sanyo's mobile phones and Sony's now-defunct Clie PDA line. Could Opera be trying to improve on their 'mini' broweser by putting it on the DS?

You could also say that about the PSP. It has a decent variety of games to go with it and it also lets you watch some nice movies. Let us not forget the other cool shit that it does. Namely digital photo viewing, audio playback (now with WMA capability), a decent Netscape-based web browser (in comparison to NetFront on Sony's Clie PDAs), and LocationFreeTV to top it all off. It almost sounds like Sony intended to market the PSP as a PDA-like device to replace the now-defunct Clie line as opposed to a PS2 companion.
I'm sure that Yahoo and other sites of that ilk are waiting on the official release of Opera 9 before allowing it as a 'legal' viewing ware, what with all the bugs that still have to be worked out. Heck, there's a shitload of sites that don't take advantage of Firefox's tab system when you open links (the normal way that is). Having a built-in preview system on the tabs sounds nice since foXpose tends to freak out and zap Firefox sometimes.

No shit, especially when you consider that WMP has been pushed back to a yet unspecified date for this same sorta' reason. GEEZ!! :(
