Roku Finally Gets a 2D Menu System 80

Posted by samzenpus on Friday March 29, 2013 @04:06AM from the new-look dept.

DeviceGuru writes "Many of us have griped for years about Roku's retro one-dimensional user interface. Finally, in conjunction with the release of the new Roku 3 model, the Linux-based media streaming player is getting a two-dimensional facelift, making it quicker and easier to access favorite channels and find new ones. Current Roku users, who will now begin suffering from UI-envy, will be glad to learn that Roku plans to push out a firmware update next month to many earlier models, including the Roku LT, Roku HD (model 2500R), Roku 2 HD, Roku 2 XD, Roku 2 XS, and Roku Streaming Stick. A short demo of the new 2D Roku menu system is available in this YouTube video."

Don't blame the astronauts, NASA, or even the government funding them. Blame television for giving you a false sense of reality. Not every day-to-day activity is going to be grand endeavor that TV shows like Star Trek, Buck Rogers and the like try to make them out to be. Life is boring (even space exploration), get used to it.

I received a specially crafted SMS message the other day that caused my phone to power off. The text of the message was "Please turn off your phone."
