1. Comment - Sony Announces $1,000 Blu-ray Player

   I think the whole idea is going to confuse the "typical end user" to the point of frustration. For goodness sakes, you still have people who haven't figured out how to stop the light on their VCRs from flashing! The Baby Boomers are the largest market out there, I'd be interested in knowing how many of them know how to do more that surf the WWW and send email, let alone decide between Blu-ray and HD formats, & products without cost being factored into the equation. Tech savvy or not, there are a lot of us still around that remember spending hundreds of dolloars on "the newest and cutting edge" Beta machines only to chuck them in the trash a year later. Why does it always have to be "bigger and better"? Isn't anything ever just good enough? I say yipee for new technologies, but let the inovators, creators, shakers & makers use "cutting edge" and let the masses continue to grow and evolve at their own pace. To force this new technology down our throats is unacceptable!

2. Comment - Adobe, Symantec Forge Partnership

   I think this is a bad idea for the typical end user. Adobe Acroread is a necessary program for optimal use of the Internet, but Norton Internet Security is not. Most end users don't have a clue
   to how much RAM they have on their system (Norton Internet Security eats RAM) or what Antivirus software they have installed. They also don't realize that they would have to completely remove any older Antivirus software they have installed in order to use the new bundled download. I really think this bundle will cause problems for the typical end user (approx. 70-80% of PC owners).
