1. Comment - Senate considers delaying DTV transition until June

   (Jan 16, 2009 - 9:27 PM)

   So as to not sound like a mean ruthless person, but doesn't just about all the TV cable providers out there offer the dtv boxes for rent for just $3 or so a month. The public should also be informed by now...whether it's not caring or just down right ignoring it, I've even seen it a couple dozen times now on tv and I don't watch hardly any news channels unless I'm expecting bad weather.
   
   The way I see it is that the government gave these companies a year to lay out any new lines or install new equipment to make this work and it is their problem if they waited til the last 2 months to get this done.
   
   And shame on the government for not sending these vouchers out in a more timely manner so that people can be prepared for the switch.
   
   But all in all, what is an extra $3 for a month if you haven't got your voucher yet and you have to rent a box from your cable company for a month. Please let me know if I'm wrong about the assumption that about all cable companies are offering these boxes. I live in a little backwater town with a little local cable provider who won't let Time Warner in to their service area, but yet they still provide these dtv conversion boxes for rent.

2. Comment - Betanews CES 2009 Contest: Win Vista Ultimate and Office 2007

   When do you expect to see solid state disks as a viable option for your consumer based notebooks (not netbooks) and what kind of effect would that have on battery life?
   
   (audience: Sony Vaio, HP and Dell)
   
   Yes, I am aware of the SSD's for netbooks, but I am referring to more of the release of drives that have the same capacity that is on the market today. This is in reference to the latest breakthroughs in SSD technology in larger volumes and it's actual affect on battery life. Knowing that one of the largest factors of a laptops battery life is dependable on the speed at which the disk drive spins. No moving parts - much lower power consumption on large SSD drives?

3. Comment - Home opens its doors for the PS3

   (Dec 14, 2008 - 11:13 PM)

   That's awesome, thank you.
   
   And just to note, I also own all 3 systems. The Wii is fun for when friends are over, or the PS3, just for the game Singstar and all the extra "well-known" songs that you can buy for it.
   
   But on a personal level, I rarely have a lot of people here visiting, so the console that get's the most use is the 360. I just like the smooth online experience and it's just nice being able to chat and visit with friends long after high school and college while playing games.
   
   That is just the system that has been the most convenient for all of us, and none of us really mind paying a small fee for what I feel is a nice online experience.

4. Comment - Tech stocks slammed amid House rejection of bailout plan

   Actually I didn't vote for him and I lost at first, then a recount and I won, then another look at it and then Bush was in office. I will try one last time voting this year, but if the President doesn't quit going to the person with the most money to pay for the votes...I'll never vote again, seeing that I apparently have no control over who I vote for anyways.
   
   I'm far from a conspiracy theorists, but two presidential elections later and this happening to my vote each time really pi$$es me off!
   
   AND YES I LIVE IN OHIO!!!

5. Comment - Evidence tabs will get more attention in future Firefox releases

   (Sep 9, 2008 - 7:42 AM)

   The ads everywhere were horrible, and I didn't have very many customization options at all for the browser.
   
   Yeah, I don't see where all of these great reviews from Chrome is even coming from. I tried it last night last and had nothing but problems. The middle mouse button would half the time open up a new tab and the other half of the time it would steal my current tab and take me to that link...very annoying! I also had a problem with it just loading up simple small gif files on some pages with up to 5 times reloading the page to get them to appear, with no mouse option to reload image, even when it's not displaying.
   
   I tried it for about 5 hours and from what I've seen I'll give it a thumbs down.
   
   The separate process is a great idea and I believe might be good if properly executed in a working, fully developed browser, but until then I will continue to live with Firefox 250-300mgs of space.
