Hay Buzz Crew

In regards to the Comcast 100MBs service

In Brooklyn, NY Cablevision is offering a similar service for $79.99 a month it's called Optimum ULTRA @ 101MBs

Its sweet except for the $300 installation charge but I'll eat a onetime charge rather than a progressive $300 bill.

Thank You

Hey Buzz crew,

As I was installing the new version of iTunes today (version 9.0), I saw something interesting. I had to accept a new EULA (which usually happens), but this time, they had a summary of the important changes over the actual legalese. This appears to be an easy way to get around the fight between a EULA that the lawyers want and one that we can understand. The only issue: you have to trust the company (in this case, Apple), that they are doing a fair job summarizing the changes. :-)

Love the show!

hey buzzards!

you mentioned how 3D TV is being used to prevent piracy and how it will eventually circumvented.

yes, that’s true… but it would still essentially eliminate the distribution of cam and telesync copies of films still in theaters as cammers wont be able to record films in this fashion. you wouldnt even be able to film a 3D image with a 3D camera for obvious reasons (unless it were some kind of crosseyed lens setup to somehow pinch the alternating perspectives into a single image, a la “magic eye” stereoscopic images. just kidding).

pirates wouldnt be able to release anything until a screener is able to be ripped at the very least, therefore putting more reluctant viewers into the theaters if they just cant wait for it.

just another point of view.

(obligatory) love the show!
