    Yeah right, my PC happily sends 2560x1600 picture to my monitor over DVI right now. All HDMI ports I've seen are limited to 1920x1200.

    There is a huge difference based on ethnicity. The average IQ for Ashkenazi Jews is 125, while say the people from West European origin have around 100. That's the difference betwe…

    What are you trying to say exactly?? iPlayer itself displays a ton of warnings that you need a TV license to use it.

    The guys who control BBC are not employes of policy or any other BBC department. The old boy networks in UK currently see the open Internet as extremely dangerous and will do almos…

    Yeah, a desperate attempt to break independent from the Hollywood/TV crooks.

    Seriously? How many 70 year old people do you know? Let say you need to urgently take your child to a doctor and can choose between a 30 yo and a 70 yo. What would you do?

    IMHO there are two reasons this is unlikely: 1. MS has always been the king of "on paper" features. That was an important reason back in the 80s and 90s for Word, Excel, PP to win …
