  1. Re:Open it back up on Should Apple make .Mac free? · · Score: 1

    I'd like to see .Mac free again as well (a la iTools), but there would be asshats signing up with multiple accounts again.

  2. Re:Symbiotic relationship? on Microsoft Ends Windows Media Player on the Mac · · Score: 1
    Of course it can't be a symbiotic relationship if the tree is dead.

    Hence an antibiotic relationship. Wait a minute, I think I just stumbled on the cure.

  3. Re:Does it actually work? on Microsoft Ends Windows Media Player on the Mac · · Score: 1

    Comedy Central won't work at all. There are many users across the different Mac forums griping about it too. Perhaps going to the free support forum at Flip4Mac en masse and posting concerns there should get the complaint heard.

    "But you have colorful skins to choose from when it starts and runs!" That's if the skins don't crash the player first.

  6. Marketshare BS on Microsoft Ends Windows Media Player on the Mac · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've complained to web developers before about this and was given the usual canned marketshare/statistics crap. Some developers are just lazy and will flat out refuse to consider using more than one format.

    Not to mention, more and more web sites require WMP in order to view/listen to their content. Some of those sites even deploy ActiveX and lock out non-Windows users all together.
