But I guess if it took into consideration directors, actors, writers, etc. it would work.
I would just find it really hard to believe it would do such a good job at organizing it, that it would be more useful than knowing the channel and time that it is on. Or even doing a simple title search to find your show.
I really dont see the point. and I am a guy that shuns people that "dont see the point" in gadget extras.

I think you people overstate how much BC is wanted. Obviously, a price cut was wanted more than BC.
And I bet the vast majority would enjoy the BC for maybe a week or two and then stop using it entirely (kind of like me).
You should be buying a PS3 for PS3 games. If you don't find any PS3 games appealing enough to maybe stop playing PS2 games, then stick with your ps2.
Playing lots of PS2 games on the PS3 is helping no one.

I really should have said let-down and not killer.

Not as my main computer...... but as my on the go device? Absolutely! My lappie never leaves home anymore.

Does that mean a physical keyboard too? Super!
Palm's Pre has a lot going for it with the multitasking and task switching UI, which look to be fantastic. Obviously Apple has been promising some version of multitasking for awhile (background apps) but it'll be interesting to see how they handle the task switching or if they don't even bother (like Windows Mobile kinda does).
Probably the biggest thing I'm looking forward to is a big upgrade in the browser. I don't know if it's just because I jailbreaked my iPhone or what, but I've had a huge problem with the browser crashing a lot, and just generally being very slow. It's almost to the point where it doesn't really make sense to pay for 3G service. Hopefully Apple will step up with a fast, flash-enabled browser upgrade in this next rev.

I received the first ever MMS I got since owning an iPhone yesterday.
I had to laugh when I realised that the link to the viewmymessage.com website doesn't auto fill the lengthy message ID and password.

Everything about it is powered by failure.

Um, am I the only one who thinks the original commenter is joking? I'm actually kind of stunned that this got serious replies.

I am baffled why you would prefer to be incapable of receiving pictures from your friends. You make it sound like MMS is nothing but spam, but then you go on to praise email which has been nothing but spam for decades.
Email works fine for sending to and from other smartphones (as long as all your smartphone friends know and remember that you're the guy who can't receive MMS), but what about people with dumbphones? Nobody is checking their gmail account on a freebie flip-phone, nor are they going to know how to send a photo from their phone as an email.
And MMS is already free if you have a messaging plan. If you don't have a messaging plan, then you're really not interested in phone-to-phone non-voice communication in the first place.

I say the more options, the better. I like that I can use email or MMS to send stuff. The iPhone has fewer options than I would like, and it's taking them this long to add some pretty basic stuff.
I suppose as long as you're happy with the limitations, then all is well. It seems ignorant and narrowminded, however, to say that fewer options is a better thing.

Well I am baffled by about 2/3rds of your comment. I said nothing about emailing pictures, Linux engineer made that comment.
I had a "dumbphone" with MMS and honestly I just got frustrated with ppl sending me mms b/c most of them were grainy images or fuzzy pics with little detail. Honestly, there isn't a market for HD cameras and such if people didn't care about picture quality, and I happen to be one of those ppl that do. Defeats the purpose of sharing the moment, if you can barely make it out.

Don't be a troll, bashing a technology because you hang out with fucktards. You just make yourself look like a fanboy moron.
03/15/09
The "flood" was for dramatization, and no its not all my friends just a select few that feel mms is best thing out there. Troll? I was on topic, and mms is an outdated technology. I'm guessing I'm a fanboy because you think I feel there is nothing wrong with the iphone? I know it's missing a lot of things and far from perfect, but I bashed mms b/c a lot of ppl feel its "crippling" the iphone. That belief in itself is absurd and moronic.
p.s. You have a star not a stick up your ass.

It's one thing to not like/care to use MMS, it's another thing to be glad that it is not included and, as such, is somehow incapable of doing something that the most basic phones are capable of.
I assume that you don't use text messages since this same logic could be applied to it.
The fact of the matter is not everyones phone can access facebook or myspace or even their email, but SMS & MMS are available.
Even if you don't want to use it, it would be nice if they, at the very least, gave us the ability to use it.
More important than your opinion is that of all the people who DO want it because you can always not use the feature, those of us who do... well... we are out of luck.
Oh and seriously, how can you complain about anything being annoying? You use Facebook for Christ's sake. I find the endless request to take quizes and likeness tests and to join random groups is far more annoying than the picture message from a friend.
03/15/09
Furthermore, if you can utilize MMS via the iPhone's email, then why all the fuss? Won't you still get lots of MMS incoming via email from the same friends who thinks it's cute or funny to send you "crappy cell phone camera pics" all the time? If so, then what you're really saying is, you wish they didn't have MMS capability, yes? Just tell them to stop. (I have a feeling they are probably the same type that feel the need to tweet their every move, and update their Myspace or Facebook status religiously. If so, don't dump on MMS, dump them!) Seriously, nobody needs people like that around.
"p.s. You have a star not a stick up your ass."
Touché!! But hey, I like it, and it's still so goddamned shiny!!

I surf a lot of porn, and a lot of people have my number, but I don't get any porn MMS spam (not that I'd mind). In fact, I rarely get MMS at all, despite the dozens of people I know who send me cellphone pics from time to time.
In any case, I'm still amazed that some people find it a problem, and don't address the problem directly (the stupid people sending them repeatedly) and instead choose to blame the tech. That's like saying POP3 is bad and shouldn't be included in future email apps, because they consistently get spammed about Nigerian princesses and Viagra pills.

"A device compatible with Linear PCM 7.1 Ch. is required to output 7.1 Ch. audio, supported by Dolby TrueHD or a similar format, from the HDMI OUT connector. This system does not support output from the DTS-HD 7.1 Ch. DTS-HD 7.1 Ch. audio is output from a 5.1 or lower channel."
From what I understand from that is that it supports TrueHD and has limited support for DTS-HD. Other than that, changing the processor has no effect on the audio codecs the system supports. Any new codec support would come via a firmware update (which I'm pretty sure that a lot of the ones that it supports now weren't originally supported, rather, they were added by firmware updates).
