    I am a sorely disappointed Fios customer. They came out with an 'app' for their DVR last year only for Verizon phones -- understandably. However what would it hurt to my an iPhone app too? It's almost 2010 -- get with the program! #tveverywhere

    @BergenCountyJC: Because it's Verizon and they don't want your AT&T iPhone be compatible with their stuff - they want their stuff to be compatible so they can cross sell, not drive you to AT&T. #tveverywhere

    @geolemon: True, however I'm already with AT&T - as a Fios customer I would be willing to look at other TV providers that offer what I'm looking for. So if Verizon wants to keep me as a TV/Internet customer -- just because I don't have wireless service with them -- they should look at it that way. 2/3 I think is deserving of an iPhone app. #tveverywhere

    I use Yahoo and Hotmail just because they are web based and my credit score is higher than this chart even goes. Once again, I screw up the "norm". #creditscores

    Whats the low end of a credit score? I don't know since I dont worry about mine being low (and I dont want to find out the low the hard way), but the commercials on TV say "650-850" but Yahoo's average is below 650... wtf. #creditscores

    @phunnyballs: It can go as low as 300, and as high as 900. But most scores are around the 600-700 range these days. If you pay your bills in full every time, have no debt, keep everything in order, you should easily have an 800 or more. #creditscores

    @jk: You have it backwards - Comcast will still want to make $$ by selling its content to all and sundry (hell, they should pay us to watch most of their dreck) - the problems occur when Comcast customers experience sudden outages of the OTHER networks. See for instance TWC's little dustup with Disney/ABC about 7 years ago. #nbc

    I positively can't wait to hear how this affects the net neutrality debate. Comcast, the go-to case-study for internet service providers throttling protocols and capping services now owns a big name content provider? Hey, Genachowski, get in here! You're gonna wanna see this! #nbc

    @elementary: Hulu wouldn't disappear. At worst it wouldn't have NBC content, which these days I wouldn't really mind since NBC canceled like a third of their shows to make room for this failed Jay Leno experiment, and those which remain is mediocre at best with only few standouts like The Office and Law and Order SVU. #nbc

    @Eulatos: You make it sound line NBC outright owns Hulu. At this point They only own like 27% of the company. For Hulu to charge, they would have to get the other companies (Disney, Fox and that investment company) to come to consensus, which they probably won't, and for them to pull out they would have to sell their share of the company to the remaining members, which they can't afford to do.

    So cut the crap. Comcast buying NBC doesn't kill Hulu, and you sound like a loon for even suggesting it. And even if they put some sort of subscription service in, I can almost guarentee that will be back catalog stuff, like Heroes Season 2. #nbc

    Good job Gizmodo following up on the story to highlight the other providers. You guys and Neowin are the only ones that have done this.

    The rest of the blogs seem to be content on letting Microsoft take the brunt of the bad publicity.

    Did they say how long it took for the list to come together? I remember awhile back I got a funny looking email saying that somebody had tried to hack my gmail account and I needed to change my password. It gave a convincing link, but I changed it from my account settings manually and totally deleted the email.

    The email I got was pretty convincing, it really looked like it may have come from Google. I just changed it and watched my account closely for a while afterward.
