I think that after one digital TV transition, a second one is too much. I'd agree to it if we were talking about this ten years from now or twenty years from now, but all you need to do to get people to simply HATE you is put them through to much they don't want to do.

I'm all for more broadband spectrum, but why the TV spectrum? Why not some level up above 5 gigahertz?

Why? Why force people to do this? Why can't I have fingernail clippers on a plane? Why not scissors? Yesterday a guy came into my store brandishing a knife. We hit him with a computer box (if it was on a plane, could've been a piece of luggage) and sat on him until the cops came.

9/11 happened because no one thought it could. When the terrorists got onto the plane, then got up and got into the cockpit, people were initially completely unaware of what could be happening. Today we have US Marshalls on flights and bomb sniffers at airports. That is enough.

What is next, anal probes?

Alright, so two of these we won't even be able to see at retail in the US (home basic and enterprise). Great. But thats still four versions of the software, two to many. The enterprise version should be standard business distribution, a home version for home PC's, and the Professional version for small business and certain enterprise-class solutions (Microsoft is currently calling my vision of this "Ultimate").

Six versions just makes the world a angry place. And what exactly is so much more complex and worthy of home premium that it cannot be the standard offering in emerging markets as well?

The cost of the OS, once the R&D is done, is the time to write the disc and the cost of the disc material. Given that, this OS could be much cheaper (thereby making it a more viable upgrade for people). MS, I hate thee.

So, Sony wants to talk up how its going to pull through the economic downturn, but does it with no new product announcements? And bringing in Usher for a (I'm sure) one handed applause. Geez.

Sigh. A 13.3 Netbook? Whats the point of calling something a "NetBook" when it features hardware and price tags similar to that of a actual notebook aka laptop? (rant is in response to the article author calling the dv2 a "netbook")

Someone needs to define "NetBook" as a laptop computer with cheap, low-power hardware and small screen aimed at affordability instead of capability. Otherwise, manufacturers will just move netbooks up in size and price until there is no longer a distinction.

He is correct on that

Bring back the stainless steel trimmings of the old iPhone. Thats it.

You know, is anyone ever going to sell these sweet cases that manufacturers keep getting? I've been wanting an Alienware chassis for some time, and this case looks good too.

*Clap, clap*
