    So if you own stock in Comcast are you an accessory to extortion?

    I'm not too worried about it. Yes, I hate Comcast a lot but I don't think there's going to be a crazy number of changes happening anytime soon.

    Now that Comcast has a controlling interest in NBC, this is even less likely to happen! Right?

    Right?

    Good on ya, Burke.

    Just for the record, I wouldn't mind having a Pandora-like pay option to skip the short adverts. Would a meager subscription fee be enough to offset advertising dollars?

    In reply to So, Comcast, About That Hulu Pay Wall
    If Comcast were smart, which they're most definitely not, they would leave well enough alone. Hulu is a profitable company. Not as much as it could be, but $12 mil profit in 2008 is a pretty good number for a website. This would keep people happy, and keep Comcast subscribers, like myself, from dropping their service.
    Either way, let's hope the federal investigation comes out in favor of the consumer, whatever that may be.

    In reply to The Truth About Plasma Screen Burn-In
    This is a great post. I'm currently in the process of looking at a new TV and the recent posts about the best HDTV's along with posts like this one really help to educate me and help me make a better purchase. I was shying away from a plasma just because of things I heard such as burn in but it's good to hear something like this.

    In reply to The Truth About Plasma Screen Burn-In
    I don't know about current generation models, but our first HDTV was a plasma (this was about 4 years ago), and after less than a year it was definitely showing signs of burn in. You could see faint impressions of menus and other things that were always displayed in the exact same spot. (This wasn't a low-end, no name TV, either.)

    We finally replaced it with an LCD, due to unrelated issues that couldn't be resolved through warranty repair. (Ended up getting a refund on it after almost a year.)

    @Hank Scorpio: I have to agree here; this must be an improvement over old technologies. I worked in a NOC where they had server info (a set table, most of the time) up on a plasma monitor. You could see the burned-in image when the screen was OFF. I'm glad they've improved this so much.

    @FerroMancer: Actually, I completely forgot about the old (cheap) plasmas that we used to have for running announcements where I work (it was a repeating PowerPoint presentation), and those had really, really bad burn in!

    I can see faint sidebar burn-in on a pale image, say a pale sky or something, but the picture on my per-Kuro Pioneer Elite crushes any LCD I've ever seen. I forget how good it looks until I go watch another TV.

    In reply to The Truth About Plasma Screen Burn-In
    Not to mention the fact that plasma displays don't leak down over time. Plus, I've seen temporary image persistence on LCDs too. Generally speaking it's always cleared up by changing Desktop background (on a computer monitor) or switching to a dead analog channel on an LCD and let the snow show up fullscreen for a while.

    On Black Friday, I went to Best Buy to pick up Zack and Miri make a Porno. I also whipped out my TV-B-Gone and attacked their wall of TVs. They looked so confused, and I decided to stop before they kicked me out and I couldn't get my DVD.
