   "as of press time"... really? How does that phrase even apply here?

2. Comment - Windows Phone 7 Series is a lost cause

   (Feb 22, 2010 - 1:15 AM)

   I'm not so sure... I think the future for Windows Mobile/Phone/Whatever will parallel the Zune line when it comes to people replacing an existing smart phone. If you have an iPod, chances are when it dies you're gonna stick with Apple. I'm not necessarily an Apple fan, but I've lived through the last several versions of Windows Mobile and that experience alone makes me want to steer clear of MS for mobile smartphone.
   
   I also seriously question the notion that people are as quick to throw out their existing phone every 1 or 2 years for a new model. That may have been the case in the past couple of years as the platforms have matured into useful devices, but I think we're getting closer to the point that functionality of the models coming out now will sustain people for longer periods of time.
   
   For those who want to stick me in the "anti-microsoft" bunch, I will say I absolutely *love* my Xbox360 (which is currently out having it's ring of death repaired and the wait is killing me,,, but i *still* think that platform blows away the PS3 I bought a few months ago). Despite their manufacturing issues, THAT was/is one well thought out product from a software perspective.
   
   If Microsoft have put the time and R&D into the new mobile version that went into Xbox, then hey, perhaps there is a chance... but it's really quite slim.
   
   Just my $.02...

4. Comment - Netflix Settles Class Action Lawsuit

   (Nov 3, 2005 - 10:20 AM)

   As a former member that cancelled my membership well over 2 years ago, I was surprised to see email from netflix yesterday.
   
   After reading through it a 2nd time, I noticed the domain for signing up was something other than netflix.com, and I began thinking that this was some clever phishing attempt. I then looked at the raw message data, to find that the email originated from mx-mktg.netflix.com.
   
   Ok, so I checked it out further and it was legit , but then realizing that I'd actually have to sign up for their service again to get the free month, it seems appropriate that the email originated from an address with marketing in its name. Honestly, don't you already get a free trial period when you join? Where exactly is the benefit here? Am I supposed to trust that they will be cooperative when I try to cancel 30 days after I join? And why do I get the burden of having to remember to cancel?
   
   This whole thing smacks of a marketing campaign to try to snag former members into coming back.
