Besides that, knowing the IE team, only .wmv movies will work in IE. You know, just to annoy us.

The spec for the video tag says nothing about compression, because Apple dug in against OGG/Theora for B.S. reasons, and open source browsers can't do patent-encumbered h264.
There is no way browser manufacturers are going to include 50+ codecs in their browsers.
Right, so in some ways it's no worse than the img tag, the spec doesn't say what format that uses either.

It was lumped in with Joost and Miro. And most of the buzz with Joost. Hulu was talked about as a way to stay mad at iTunes as much as anything else.
Kudos to Fox and, maybe even more, to NBC for actually taking a risk on a new media format and, so far, building it up more and more, so that now it actually seems like just another mainstream tool for watching programming.

April 2nd = "taily day" (Don't bother googling it as the results are as reliable as ...(insert joke here)
"Taily day" = day after april fools day in which people in Scotland try to stick a paper tail (paper + sellotape) onto someone without them noticing (similar (ish) principle to the kick me sign)
Disclaimer - unfortunately it is not widely celebrated in Scotland :(

I just hope Flickr stop users of hosting "Adult content" so it get un-banned here in UAE.

I am generally inclined to think it is simple corporate fear of backlash. There seems to be no middle ground. They either make it draconian and highly policed, making it difficult to know whether or not some content will be allowed, or else it's a full-out porn site complete with all the trimmings, such as spotty service, spyware, email spam, etc, etc.
@medopal: The reason it is banned is probably because in the past there were users on Flickr who were sharing questionable material. The simplest and cheapest method is to just ban the entire site rather than work with individuals and let them make their own decisions. Governments rarely trust their people, hence censorship at the source. With so many users coming and going on Flickr they probably saw it as a potential problem and felt it was best to just block the whole thing. Sounds like you need to speak to government folk and try to get them to listen to you, rather than the other way around.

I have a series 2, lifetime subscription. I can't move it, nor do I want to at this point. I mean come on, give me a system update or even a small box to allows the Netflix to work. I would pay 50 dollars for that.
When you forget the people with series 2 players, its a nice kick in the face.
I will not buy another Tivo, ever.
You are screwing the people who stuck up for you. You do not give good discounts to the old generation to upgrade or move their lifetime memberships.
You will fall apart Tivo. Dish Network is looking to kick your ass, and they will. You still want us to buy our own wireless adaptors? Come on.
Ridiculous. Absolutely Ridiculous.

The inbred rhesus monkeys that Cablevision employed managed to produce a lovely interface replete with button lag, unnecessary extra-steps, and counterintuitiveness. And, thanks to their steady diet of Sterno, Wild Irish Rose, and fermented orange soda, I get to enjoy the fact that pressing the guide button pulls up the menu for me to use to scroll down to select the guide.
After all, why would I expect a button labelled "Guide" to actually pull of the Guide?

But honestly... after using a TiVo HD, I will never... EVER use any other DVR.
Cable provided DVR things I don't miss:
- the Commodore 64-style UI design (the Scientific Atlanta HD DVR that they force you to use in Arlington VA has an interface that looks like stir-fried s**t.)
- the 3-8 second button lag
- limited storage space
- No networking ability
...And as soon as I can I'm getting rid of Comcast.

Lucky bastard. Some of us are still stuck with the Commodore PET design.
