No big company is ever really going to go away. Even Kodak is still around and trying to rebrand themselves.

The idea was solid, but the laws are antiquated and the cable companies are greedy. Laws that would prevent me from re-broadcasting a cable signal to non-cable subscribers, or prevent me from streaming a signal over the internet to another region are what ultimately did this company in.

From any common sense I can possibly understand, there was no moral or legal reason to shut Aereo down. If anything, the Television companies would benefit by retaining viewers. Cable is nothing more than a utility that brings you the product, the definition of stealing cable doesn't apply, here. The backwards thing is that Cable cutters aren't just eliminating the utility, they're eliminating the product. Live Television doesn't matter anymore. Waiting for your favorite TV show to come on at 7:00PM every Wednesday has become a "Back in my day" story we tell our kids.

The cable companies own the networks and the networks are forced to participate in fast-declining business model. This is the reason why "television networks" may not be around in another 10 years.

Most computer problems can be fixed by giving the kid down the street $20. You don't need an engineer or a professional PC repairman to repair a computer problem. There are people who know their way around computers and those that don't. Computer repair stores are around to connect computer geeks like us with people who don't know an OS kernel from a popcorn kernel.

I fix computers for everyone I know and work with. It's not my job, but people know I know PCs. Same with the guy who works next door, he used to be the old computer guy.

I'm willing to bet that anyone reading this forum has never brought their computer to a "professional" for hardware or software issues. Aside from a warranty repair. If I ever put my hardware in the hands of another individual, I pull the hard drive, and I just plain don't bring my PC in for software related issues.

They've been proposing a lot of off-the-wall taxes lately. Download taxes, beer and cigerette taxes, entertainment taxes, porn taxes, fatty food taxes, internet bandwidth taxes, out-of-state goods taxes. Leave it to the government to push moral issues into profit.

I think many of the speakers in here have very little experience with the Zune. I've owned a 2nd Gen 80GB for the last 6 months, I think it's great, considering the competition.

I don't think there's anything left to be said about the iPod, most of us all know why it's so popular, yet deep down inside, it's cheap junk.

My only gripes are that the screen is too low-res for its size, and there is no adjustable EQ. The sound is great, wireless sync is cool, much less distortion at high volumes, the exterior is glass and metal, which is as durable as you can ask for a PMP, the touchpad is very nice and as close as you can get to the Vision:M. The 1st gen is ugly as sin, but the 2nd gen looks great. I'd love to see what a 3rd gen might look like if they made this much improvement the first time around. Lastly, the value per GB is excellent. $200-250 for 120GB, now.

The only 2 players I listened to that had better sound were the Cowon D2 and the Sansa Fuze, both of those units top out at 32GB Flash memory and are well over $300 for the 32GB model. The Creative X-fi supposedly sounds good, as well, but I couldn't get my hands on one. Once more, $300+ for 32GBs.

and prefer Mozilla Firefox, both Windows and IE are Microsoft products and they have every right to bundle their products. Also, why Firefox? What right does the EU have to decide Firefox is what the people want? Why not Chrome or Safari or Opera? You bundle in Firefox instead of IE, you're still hurting the competition. Some people are just going to use what they're given, what does it matter WHICH one comes bundled?

Also, Firefox isn't supported by Microsoft. Why would MS release Windows bundled with programs they do not support?
