Comment Re:THIS is why free markets work (Score 3, Interesting) 279

GoDaddy would have to cease to exist for me to believe the free market works, don't get me work I believe that free markets are a good thing but they need some amount of government regulation to balance out greedy dishonest a-holes.

A lot of people say if we had a "true" free market with out any goverment regulations or interference it would all work out in the end. Much like communists will tell you that most communist states failed because they weren't "true" communism. It's all the speak of a true believer.

Free Market Capitalism and Communism are really get theories but turn to crap when you add people to the equation, just like a computer program will work 100% perfectly until someone uses it then it'll just crash.

Comment Mor organised boycotts (Score 5, Interesting) 279

Hopefully there will be a boycott and more boycotts if it fails to get the message across. Not something that should be given up on because it becomes all to hard and doesn't work the first time, after all how much do you value your freedom? Hell work to vote out every idiot that voted for it. Capitalism is supposed to be democratic, they tell you if people don't buy a product a company should understand that there's a problem with their product and rectify the problem or risk going out of business. Boycotts get that message across, worked well for south africa,

I swear schools should teach kids how to organise boycotts right along side the importance of voting. Generations of kids coming up willing to drop massive boycotts on companies for even looking like doing something evil. When someone says that the market will work it out naturally they mean it'll correct itself eventually and I'll a load of cash in the meantime... oh I'm slightly off topic now.

I agree with you, as a fellow boxee box owner it does require some love. Don't get me wrong I do love my boxee box I looked at all the other so called media streamers out there and by far boxee box is the best codec wise with full HD support and .mkv support plus web browser and apps it was worth the price tag. Having said that, yeah updates were a pain I had one or two updates early on that required factory resets because for some reason they absolutely hated the network and refused to see any shared drives (although I haven't had that problem with subsequent updates) the remote works well so long as you never have to use the cursor but you can get an app through itunes and andriod app market to use your phone as a remote control (although I haven't used it so I don't know how well that works over the default remote). For me the 'friends' option that allows you to watch videos your friends post on social networking sites no longer updates people still post videos to me but they never show up on boxee. The one thing that really annoys me beyond anything which is beyond boxee's control is content restriction rules, not being able to access certain content because of geographical location (australia) meaning half the apps are crippled or unusable. A problem that goes beyond just boxee itself but strong selling points of boxee are made useless beyond the american market. In short love boxee but needs more work
