I will mention the new D-Link i2eye DVC-2000 Broadband VideoPhone because it is my job to mention new products. “Hello reader,” I often say, “may I interest you in a new product?” This works well when the product is piping hot and fresh. Your glands start churning or whatever it is that glands do, and you look at the product with a little misting in your eyes, looking back to me, and you have no words to say, but we share a little moment, and I nod because — and now I am misting a little, too — I know exactly how you feel, because I feel it, too. So this is my job, yes, but also my calling.
However, the new DVC-2000 requires another DVC-2000 to be on the other end to operate instead of working on some sort of open standard, or with software on a PC. What that means is this time, you looked at the product I unveiled with a flourish, and instead of something hot and mouth-watering the steam instead rises from a turd. A dark, brown, proprietary turd. And when you look back at me, I can see your lip is quivering.
