Comment Re:Why the anger ... (Score 1) 95

Even when signed in, I could not play any games, due to a too-tight reliance on PSN's services.

"Any" games? Or just multiplayer ones, because single player games and single-player modes worked just fine. I played Diablo UEE on the PS4 during some of the outage, it defaulted to LAN mode when it couldn't reach PSN.

1) Facebook but with the posts in chronological order messenger built in.

2) A keyboard that's the same as the default, just with a row of number keys on top.

3) A video player that can reliably stream any video file that's on my Mac to my phone if I'm in wifi range.

The "TEAM" owns the original rights to that video and they have probably sold the viewing rights to another company (Perhaps a sports broadcaster/TV network/website) You've probably seen the disclaimer at the end of live TV broadcasts referring to rebroadcast/retransmission.

If that team is american it has probably sold the rights to an american company...who may not have the rights to "re-broadcast" in Canada.

On New Years, one of my digital sub channels had a Cary Grant day. No action or violence, no CGI, no gratuitous nudity, just a story - and they were wonderful and funny.

I think he himself said he was a comedic actor trapped in a leading man's body. Pair him with some competent co-stars, like Kate Hepburn in her rapid-fire delivery prime and watch magic happen.

and I got a Sony DTS receiver at the flea market

Lucky find and good you had the skills to fix it. I think it depends on where you live, and how affluent the area is. Haven't seen any good deals like that locally...yet. (small town illinois)

There's just so much good stuff that other people are treating as crap out there.

Indeed.
That is true.

Comment Re:blu rays are cheaper than the movie (Score 1) 400

Sorry but bluray sucks. Sony sucks.

Blu-ray is a consortium format, Sony alone didn't create it.

Also the fact that 99% of bluray disks have previews that cannot be skipped or fast forwarded

Most blu-rays make it EASIER to skip previews than DVD

Most people are happy with DVD quality and see no reason to buy bluray disks.

The difference is quite noticeable. Perhaps if "most people" didn't buy crap blu-ray players and hook them up via RF.

The only way that bluray disks sell at all is that these days you have to buy the bluray disk packaged with the DVD disk to get the DVD disk much of the time.

I wish they'd stop packing in the DVD's. I just want the blu-ray, not a DVD. The only reason I would get a DVD is if I can't get a Blu-Ray. That's been the case for me since 2008.
