This kind of worries me. I time/format shift a ton of TV shows by just torrenting them, and lately, I've been streaming a ton of Netflix movies and TV shows to my Xbox 360. I have absolutely no idea how much bandwidth I'm actually using, so they'd better have some kind of tool that will show me how I'm doing.
I already have to keep an eye on and balance the bandwidth for my web site, doing it at home too is going to be annoying.
The ads that did make it on that were "risque" were atrocious though. Danica Patrick, an indy racecar driver who has garnered some respect over the last few years, washing it away in a shower for GoDaddy.

I mean, for fuck's sake, you want to communicate your life to your friends but you don't have the time to communicate personally with them?
I hear that argument a lot, but do you have a family? Kids? Hobbies of your own? I barely have time for a real life social life, Facebook helps to keep me connected.
My God, you know the Apply fanboys are out in force when they've resorted to ripping on a TABLE by comparing it to a handheld device. They have completely different target users, not to mention completely different uses. Are you somehow proposing that the security team should have used an Iphone instead of the Surface to coordinate their efforts? I'm not saying the Surface is the best choice, but even bringing up the Iphone is a joke.
Also, a quick check of Wikipedia shows that the Surface hasn't even been on the market for a year, and was announced less than two years ago, and somehow it's already a white elephant? The device has pretty specific uses, it's not being marketed as far as I know for home use.
You're right to point out that netbook owners can power their own netbook with a crank or whatever the OLPC ended up using, but the interesting part of the quote is "we really created the netbook market." Hilarious how they'll say that now, when they refused to sell the OLPC to anyone that actually wanted one in the US or Europe. Now that they can buy EEE's, there's (basically) no reason for someone in a developed country to even consider the OLPC.
If they had marketed the OLPC to everyone, they not only would have created the netbook market they would have owned it, while subsidizing their efforts in Africa. Instead, Asus jumped in where OLPC wouldn't... and here we are where we're at today. Asus is making a killing while OLPC has essentially folded.
If they love TV that much that they will climb onto their icy roof in below zero weather before doing any kind of research, they will have already seen the hundreds of warnings and commercials on TV. Not trying to say they deserve "bad things"... okay, I kind of am.

No... operating systems are not UIs, they are only a part of it (sometimes). Aero exists as just a subsystem in Vista, and you don't need anything but the command line for Unix.
Operating systems exist so that the applications I use can be run on the hardware I own. That's really it.
If it weren't for Chrome and IE8's privacy mode, then that probably wouldn't be the top priority it is right now for Firefox 3.1. Competition is good in the browser market. They'd still be on IE6 if it weren't for the success of Firefox.
What bothers me is when movies like the Dark Knight, with gigantic budgets do things like lift a fingerprint from a bullet hole in the wall or use everyone's cell phone as a radar device. That movie is so great but it is also really cringe-worthy when the entire plot relies and revolves around these.

How are you monitoring your current bandwidth usage? I would like to get an idea of what I'm using before this is implemented.

Don't you know? It was intentional.
If they outlaw sending convicts to Australia, only convicts will live in Australia.
Shouldn't being an adult be enough "license" to play or watch whatever you want?
And here I thought that US had a monopoly on Hope.

And then you find out, it really doesn't... but you still watch because in some ways, it's still entertaining.
I'm pretty sure you can be a subscriber and still hide the (*).
No, that's not a body part.

Except she has access to this PI database with everyone's records on everything. Well, maybe they do exist, and that would just piss me off more.
Excellent show outside the PI-DB and super duper wifi enabled recording pens they kept planting on people.
