Vobbo is better! More file formats, but you can use your own domain, make rss feeds for any search term, and embed videos in other annoying trendy sites:)
They should have picked a nice, long highway down from one of the ski resorts.
Highway 330 in Redlands would have been high on my list - 15 miles, 6-8 degrees, lots of fun turns, lots of straight aways, and most of all, no uphill sections to slow you down.
Because it's at IBM, it's possible that it'll be used for their World Community Grid at some point, probably when it's idle... The current project there is, in fact, protein folding.
I spent a lot of time shopping for the 'right' media PC, and came to a different conclusion: the 'media appliance' concept (with DLink still leading the way with their DLINK DSM-320) beats both set-top-boxes from the media providers and the pc-solutions provided by Microsoft, Sony, et. al.
The DLink separates content from delivery - it's just there to play and present, and it does it well, wirelessly, without a hassle. It's not a DVR, but perhaps future versions will be. You're right, though - with cable providers bundling DVRs with service for a few dollars, PC vendors should allow that to stay in a different realm, and be content with delivery to TV from PC, and vice-versa.
That is: they (Microsoft, Sony, etc) should be willing to step back, understand where their field ends, and then dominate up to that border, without trying to cross it.
We have a couple HP MSA20s (12x250GB SATA, went on recommendation from a friend at Yahoo), and they're really good, except they'll burn a disk almost everytime you have to restart the unit.
It's kind of annoying, and the firmware updates don't seem to be helping much.
Q: How about Microsoft? Will you be shipping your first-party games a week before launch?
Allard: I don't know. Haven't certified a game yet. There is no game in manufacturing yet, that's the only thing I can attest to. And when we do, you know, retailers did that a little with Xbox, it's going to be a retail by retail decision. I don't think we're doing anything to try and coordinate that.
Haven't certified a game yet? And launch is less than a month away? Sounds like there's going to be some supply problems in the very near future.

How's that for useless webcamming?

Yea, whatever you do, don't use a video blog service and show your face all over the internet.

Some people prefer a subscription - they're willing to pay for more privileges and fewer ads.
Wikipedia should consider an subscription alternative for those people willing to spend money for 'better' service.
