I'd buy it if it were available
|
|
oh wow...that is not bad at all
|
|
|
about 3K per house
|
|
|
its a project in Ottawa
|
|
|
consumer OWNED? How much does that cost?
|
|
|
then why do I still have only 2 significant options for my broadband; DSL Or cable
|
|
|
CableCo = totally lacking in passion for entertainment
|
|
Really, it's simply that ... someone decided this was important.
|
|
|
Because someone made it so

We LOVE our TivoHD...and our two older Tivo Series 2 boxes
|
|
|
I cancelled our Netflix subscription recently
|
|
|
I wish Netflix would launch a Mac player
|
|
|
David downloads...he torrents ;)
|
|
|
Tribute to the film studios
|
|
what i dislike about rent content online is the restriction on how long you can have it to watch, i hate the "you have x hours or once you watch it poofs, or you cant stop if you start"
|
|
|
Sony spent a FORTUNE on winning the Hi-Def media fight
|
|
|
don't use tivo....but I do think it's going away...and that it's happening very quickly!
|
|
|
in a world where....
|
|
|
Ok...Ken and I do all the time....watch dvd's, but maybe it's just cause we're still old school, however our set is HD
|
|
|
tivo, netflix, bit torrent, youtube
|
|
|
if Netflix's player worked on the Mac, I wouldn't be using DVD's
|
|
|
sometimes buy
|
|
|
i rent it
|
|
|
physical media is going away
|
|
|
Physical media is non static
|
|
|
its the minidisk all over again
|
|
|
thats a bad statement, 5 years left on bluray, thats like saying its dead already
|
|
|
well you do take responsibility but you dont need an army of apps on your radar to tell you, you are safe, sure surf safe makes sense, but the mac also feels blissful in that it doesnt need all that added fear awareness, that is a great ux
|
|
there will always be a greater fool
|
|
|
I know a few people who have been suckered
|
|
|
Average users will fall for something eventually
|
|
It's that quality that suckers people in too.
|
|
|
not taking responsibility for yourself...that's lax
|
|
|
The quality of the pishing emails, the bank emails, amazon etc... is impressive. They work HARD at this
|
|
|
but i think thats a selling point, it keeps you safe, you expect it to do so, and it keeps you out of the communication loop on purpose, so you dont have to have those worries in your head as well
|
|
|
because it is innately more secure people don't expect anything to happen
|
|
|
the mac could be walking into the fire, i agree with that
|
|
|
Vista seems more secure in that it gives the user more chances to say no
|
|
|
I think though...mac is an accident waiting to happen
|
|
|
when I use a Win-Box, the anti-virus stuff brings the performance down.
|
|
|
I disagree you need a collection of defense products, thats just a bad user experience and its selling something that comes with a panic built in. The mac does a better job at communicating a sense of freakoutness. A general windows experience for the new user is a playground of fear and that experience sucks. You have a dozen apps to remind you, you are not safe, thats a terrible experience.
|
|
|
it is more secure!
|
|
|
mac is the kind of machine needed to help protect those who aren't savvy or paying attention
|
|
|
typical security fanatics....they use practices that safeguard them in such a way that they almost never have to run anti virus software
|
|
|
One of the key joys of the mac is to be free of the the anti-virus panic. Its a huge relief, worth every penny more I had to pay not to deal with bloatware, and constant reminders that hey we're under attack.
|
|
|
you need a collection of defense products - anti-virus, ad-aware, spyware blaster
|
|
|
The key thing on the Mac is the need to use password to install anything
|
|
|
Online Greeting Cards have been killed by the attacks.
|
|
|
do i need antivirus on the mac, is osx gonna fall under the knife?
|
|
|
all anti virus tools are fallible
|
|
|
botnet bullies
|
|
|
I remember a year ago or so how everyone got on the band wagon to use the tools to check for rootkits
|
|
|
mechanical turk is driving pishing! (actually not..)
|
|
|
o what's driving this? Pishing??
|
|
|
Tom - you'll be up shortly
|
|
|
yeah - but that was mostly fixed a while ago, Bill. My Outlook won't run a script. Heck, it won't even open some kinds of attachments
|
|
|
THANK YOU OUTLOOK!!!!!
|
|
|
The idea of scripting in email messages is not a good one
|
|
|
Sorry for the 2x posts
|
|
|
THANK YOU OUTLOOK!!!!!
|

THANK YOU OUTLOOK!

I wasn't paying attention to the politics...I was on another call...sorry! You don't want to know my politics ANYWAY. I think it's all stupid to get all worked up about...the polititicians are all paid for and the polls rigged...in the end what's the point? :)
|
|
|
it's time for geekery!!!!
|
|
|
OK... Jeanette and Sheryl are getting bored with our politics talk
|
|
