1. Comment - MS Adds Vista Compatibility to Zune

   (Dec 20, 2006 - 5:50 PM)

   Can I just say, and I hope this is brought up more somewhere.
   
   MICROSOFTS DRM for its PASS subscription music SKIPS ON THE ZUNE! Hundreds of people are having the issue, but everyone is being told every time they call: "This is the first we are hearing of this!" I personally am getting sick of the MS lies. The Vista compatibility is secondary to actually being able to listen to music on a MP3 Player!

2. Comment - Can IM Reshape the Future of AOL?

   I think that you want too much. You want a IM client that takes alot of time and money to build, you want everyone in the world to be able to use it, you dont want to pay for it, and you want it to be ad free.
   
   AOL is a business they are in it to make money.. thus they have ads. Plus the ads arent that bad, i barely notice them and i see more ads on my way to the corner store than i see on AIM in a week.
   
   At least they havent utilized those terrible, terrible, page over ads!

3. Comment - Can IM Reshape the Future of AOL?

   Are you talking about the Annoying AOL.com window that opens in a separate tab? To rid yourself of the AOL.com window, search your computer for a folder named Startup Folder (mine was located under doc & settings\Owner\Favorites\Aol Explorer\startup folder). In this folder you can delete that annoying AOL.com page that opens up and replace it with as many of your own as you wish. I also like the AOL browser, it seems to be faster than the netscape I was using before.

4. Comment - FCC Gives DSL Right to Block Access

   Actually, America has more dark Fiber than any other nation in the world. (Dark Fiber means fiber optic lines that arent being used if you have never heard the term.) The Cable co's and Telephone Co's didnt factor in the possibilty of better uses of fiber optics and as such they laid way too much line.
   
   Currently the Phone companies are starting to get worried, because Cable companies are now offering all of the services the phone companies have, and are now offering bundles just like the phone companies.
   
   Where I live in Toledo, Ohio we can get either Verizon or Buckeye Cable for phone, internet, long distance, and TV service (verizon bundles Direct TV into their packages.) However Verizon charges a LOT more, $45 for phone service, $29 for internet (like a 1.5), and $50 for direct TV. With the cable company, its 20$ for phone service, 19$ for a 3meg internet, and 39$ for cable with VOD and a DVR. Our cable company here is a Private company which only serves our area.. and they dont over charge because if they did they would have to open their lines because we have a goverment agency that watches them and ensures they dont.
   
   As for America not being as advanced as other countries... that would more than likely be based on how BIG our country is. To lay lines in Europe and Japan they dont have the expansive wilderness and the urban sprawl we do and thus everyone could be connected. But also, Japan and Europe both have horrible power supplies and most countries cant even get a refrigorator like we have in our homes.
   
   This desicion doesnt not allow the DSL companies to share their lines. It just doesnt FORCE them to. Many share lines because they have too much fiber and see revenue in selling it. MCI is big on doing this, too bad they are corrupt.
   
   NOTE: In Ohio the entire Phone and Cable system is a regulated monopoly. You can only get ONE cable system and ONE phone system depending on which street and city you live.. almost every major company has their own territory. Not sure if thats the same or not in other states.

5. Comment - Microsoft Shops Wal-Mart for New COO

   (Aug 5, 2005 - 10:47 AM)

   Anti-Compitition would mean that the walmart guy was going to another company IN THE SAME INDUSTRY which is retail for walmart. The google guy, was attempting to work in the same industry that Microsoft has.
   
   And this is the 2nd exec of WalMart to jump ship in the last few months, if they were truthfully doing that great they wouldnt leave. Something is about to happen at wallyworld I personally think scandal.
