   Review - DivX for Windows

   6.6 (May 4, 2007)

   - Doesn't work on Vista (what a coincidence that none of their partner's software [Roxio] supports Vista yet either... hmmmm).
   - They refuse to incorporate and adopt new technologies.
   - 6.6 is the first release in MANY months.
   - Developers are no longer responding to the community.
   - The just separated the software package into individual software pieces, consequently costing significantly more money.
   - Classic example of a company that had something great and turned it into crap.
   
   I was an avid supporter of DivX [and Roxio] for many years until the company went completely silent over the past six months and then spent literally ALL their time on a retarded website called stage6.
   
   Goodbye DivX.

   Review - Trillian

3. Comment - The Windows era is over

   3.1.5.0 (Jun 3, 2010 - 1:29 PM)

   You're proclamation isn't slightly premature... it's extremely incorrect. You're whole article here is based on home user changes and the changes a few large corporations are making. So what... a corporation with a few thousand employees is making a change. So what... Apple's carved a niche and made room for a good portion of the home user market. The Windows era will never end so long as the US government chooses to embrace the operating system. Cities, states, militaries and the federal government alike ALL use and rely on a Windows infrastructure which isn't going to change anytime soon (all the movies with the military using Apple computers cracks me up). And bear in mind this isn't just the US government, but virtually every government around the world! I'm no Windows fanboy, but you Mr. Joe Wilcox, are an uninformed, ignorant moron if you believe for even a second the "Windows era is over".

4. Comment - Review: Major League Baseball's Roku channel is not a complete solution

   3.1.5.0 (May 8, 2010 - 9:25 AM)

   Thank you for covering this... I wanted to subscribe last year and heard bad things so I held off. This is the first I've heard anything about the service this year and it looks like I'll hold off again until the service is more like it's counterparts.

5. Comment - Apple's problem with Flash is mobile applications competition

   3.1.5.0 (Feb 19, 2010 - 11:03 PM)

   and folks, it's this type of misinformed, uneducated fanboy that believes everything that comes out of the mouth of the dear apple god Mr. Steve Jobs.

6. Comment - Without its own 'iTablet' yet, is Apple missing the boat?

   3.1.5.0 (Dec 1, 2009 - 1:05 AM)

   The iPhone has forever changed the gadget market and made forced all mobile devices to evolve into something useful. Unfortunately for Apple, other companies are now taking over the market and giving the iPhone a run for its money.
   
   I am NOT an Apple fan. I don't own and have NEVER owned an Apple product despite my temptation to get an iPhone (if I could have Verizon I'd have one). In fact, Apple fanboys (really just the arrogant, snotty attitudes abound) and Apple's overpriced hardware (an Apple IS a PC... why the $2k?) really piss me off. However, there's no denying Apple's/Jobs' remarkable eye for innovation and brilliant knack for creating products consumers and the market wanted but didn't know it. Like the introduction of stylish computers, then the iPod and then the iPhone, I see Jobs and Apple doing something nothing less than stellar to reshape the laptop market.
   
   To do this Jobs is going to come up with something that exceeds and encompasses the capabilities of Microsoft's touch, e-book readers, netbooks (a market which Apple still refuses to enter) and more. This has to be an extremely difficult challenge which I'm convinced is why Apple has delayed any sort of announcement of such a product. I'm not sure what to expect, but I don't doubt for a second that it'll be an amazing product and we're obviously all looking forward to it.

7. Comment - The Internet can still be a positive force, World Wide Web Foundation says

   3.1.5.0 (Nov 16, 2009 - 2:06 PM)

   "The internet is broken because of that money"
   
   I disagree wholeheartedly. Money is what turned the internet into a successful tool. Had money not been involved, I sincerely doubt the internet or even computers would be as widely used as they are today. The internet's monies (e-commerce, investments, etc.) are largely responsible (notice I didn't say solely responsible) for the success of computers worldwide which most definitely isn't a bad thing.
   
   Sir Tim Berners-Lee seems to be more level-headed and makes much more sense in his outlook.
   
   Is the internet broken? Absolutely. Is it broken because of money? Absolutely not.
   
   The internet is a wonderful tool that has brought the best [and worst] to everyone. So what's broken? Literally the fact that it's so accommodating and nonrestrictive to everyone, which is both a good and bad thing. Cultures, societies and even people differ on a great many things and the internet has completely neglected and dismissed any sort of respect for these differences. The questions we should be asking now though shouldn't be dwelling on the past, but what we should be doing to shape the web of the future to open new horizons.
