1. Comment - One critical patch for Vista en route

   (Jan 4, 2008 - 5:58 PM)

   I am a security professional. And to be honest, I do find that Vista does in fact have a better track record than XP does. Not only that, but due to the internal kernel improvements, the severity of equivalent vulnerabilities is lower on average.
   
   I'm not a Microsoft fanboy, but I am a bit of an early adapter and I find that given a machine with enough horse power (1GB RAM will be a little painful), Vista is pretty nice.

2. Comment - Cox Considers Offering TiVo DVRs

   (May 9, 2006 - 11:23 AM)

   i second that, I was a happy tivo customer, and eventually got an HD TV, so i figured that I'd just use the COX DVR since it supports HD and recording two shows at once.
   
   Well these two features are not enough to compensate for the junk that is the COX DVR. A few things I simply can't stand:
   
   #1 No concept of a season pass, instead you have to locate your show in the guide and say "record all new episodes in this time slot", if i happen to not know when or where it is shown, out of luck.
   
   #2 No audio feedback on input, like every device, the input occasionally lags. But since there is no audio feedback, I can sometimes not tell if it is simply ignoring my command or if it is simply lagged.
   
   #3 No jump to begining/end of show you are watching.
   
   #4 if you start to watch a show currently being recorded, it doesn't default to begining of show, instead it defaults to live TV (which sucks cause of #3)
   
   #5 If you are watching something currently being recorded but are behind live TV, when the show ends (and thus it stops recording) you are booted out of watching the recording. And this time, it defaults to the start of the show!
   
   and that's just what i can think of off hand!
