Pachter: Xbox 360 a 'gold mine' for Netflix growth {Joystiq}
Jan 27th 2009 9:49PM To be fair, renting movies via XBLM is comparable in price (never plan on doing it) and yeah it would make sense for Sony to add it to the PS3, but that likely means Sony won't do it. Then again, looks like they don't have an option as Netflix on game consoles is exclusive to Microsoft's box... not sure how long that exclusivity agreement is... http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2008/jul08/07-14instantstreampr.mspx
Boxee releases new alpha, adds Netflix support {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Dec 4th 2008 11:45AM When they get it to work? Sounds like they are having problems just getting the regular Netflix to work on AppleTV (1GHz) let alone the HD stuff. Sounds like the HD stuff will only be on Mac Minis or better.
iTunes Speechification {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 7th 2008 12:24AM I think the video/podcast of her speech is jacked up... stops for me at 20:54... is it just me?
Seinfeld goes HD on TBS HD {Engadget HD}
Sep 4th 2008 11:11AM Why the Turner hate? It isn't Turner that hates black bars, it is Time Warner. TMC has long been known for showing letterbox movies (back when 4:3 sets were all the rage), but TimeWarner (via HBO/Cinemax) has long been known for cropping/chopping films.
PC Safari use triples despite backlash {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
May 2nd 2008 6:10PM And of course the high percentage of Safari usage on the Mac is because of what now? Oh yeah, it comes with the OS. CSS speed and compatibility doesn't count for squat, otherwise we'd all be using Opera.
AT&T offers **free Option GT Ultra and GT Ultra Express HSUPA cards (**must sell soul) {Engadget Mobile}
Feb 14th 2008 4:50PM It's PC Card, not PCMCIA card. Please let that old name die already. The PCMCIA also promotes ExpressCards.
Samsung no longer selling flat panels, other wares in Japan {Engadget HD}
Nov 10th 2007 4:06PM "Samsung produces low priced mediocre quality TVs and electronic equipment but the problem is that they are... cheap and unreliable."
Wow. Where have you been? Samsung is the leading producer of LCDs in the world and the same panels are in a lot of Sony's LCD sets via their (50+1) majority ownership joint venture with Sony in S-LCD Corp. I guess you must be living in the past where the Sony brand actually meant something but now they just live by selling the brand name.
Samsung isn't getting out the LCD business, just out of selling Samsung branded product IN Japan. This has to do with the extremely nationalistic nature of Asian countries. Foreign companies have very hard barriers to entry into Japan which makes it hard to compete in Japan.

Five widgets for football junkies {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Aug 26th 2007 11:26PM Wow. You mention Yahoo Widget Engine (nee Konfabulator) and don't mention the best NFL widget out there? http://www.orbona.com/showWidget.php?id=18 It even links in with the Sirius widget (not included) you can launch that from the NFL widget. It rocks (Mac and Windows)!
