    I apologize if this is covered in the article, but I could not find it. Does anybody know when the vote on SOPA happens ? How long afterwords until they start prosecutions and shut…

    Apple should at least give people the option to put an older operating system on a newer system. Similar to how PC vendors offer XP or W7. I tried to install my Leopard family pack…

    This runs great. Unlike iTunes it doesn't check my entire damn music library on the NAS every single time or have tons of bloatware like Ping, iTunes Store, etc. iTunes took on ave…

    As a longtime Mac user (since the 80s) , it pains me to think my next purchase won't be a Macintosh, but I can't ignore the writing on the wall any longer. Apple used to be about f…

    People check themselves out to avoid human interaction, not work.

    Wow, it's really sad to see somebody so completely broken and brainwashed that he'll literally report his every move to authorities. If the government was monitoring his home with …

    Not the ideal solution, but you could try running VMWare and see how the playback is.

    What they are saying is it's the death of the PC for casual people, which I somewhat agree with. There will always be desktops around, no doubt, but will the general population sti…

    I can use this. Great product. How will they monetize it ?

    Do they not offer any kind of bargains for such a huge purchase/company ? I'd think Amazon would work with Netflix to offer at least somewhat competitive prices. I am just talking …

    I am a HUGE media consumer, trendsetter, and generally on the bleeding edge of entertainment in my group of friends. I am their EXACT target, they just don't know how to market to …

    The movie companies are just shooting themselves in the foot. If I can't find it on Netflix or download a copy for a reasonable price (I'd pay a couple bucks to download a movie an…

    You probably should have chosen somebody who wasn't a complete douche bag to make your example. Joe Biden cussing like that makes him look like a complete fool. I am all for cussin…

    I wouldn't treat a male any differently. It's low class. I don't recall any major CEO's on the front page of tech sites cussing before this. Ever. It shows a poor lack of control. …

    I have seen a whole lot of this woman cussing in the news lately. The image she puts out is low class, and she didn't make the company money. It's no mystery why she was fired. The…

    They are human like the rest of us, good and bad. Do not assume integrity simply because of somebodies profession.

    I've posted about 6 reviews in total on yelp, 2 of which were immediately filtered for no reason. Funny how my positive reviews went through just fine and the rest got binned. If y…
