      i only use my xbox as an extender on football sundays (i should take a picture, u guys would laugh). but then again, i barely game (madden 2011 is it)…so MCX still outweighs it

        i can’t imagine a worst trailer recently than Robin Hood (Russel Crowe version)….literally 50% of the trailer was from the last 5 minutes of the movie. It was awful anyways.

        Red looks fun, i’m sure i’ll like it

            i totally missed that point. you guys are right, it’s way believable when considering larger households. good to know the Chief Architect at Yahoo’s Connected TV division knows his stuff huh 😉

              FYI, the Keynote was given by Ron Jacoby, Chief Architect at Yahoo!. He didn’t mention what source he used, but later in the preso he did quote Nielsen. I’m with you guys that it seems VERY unrealistic

                i’m just as amused that the notice of this came from Alan, of all people!!! 😛

                  somewhat unrelated. i’m at a conference right now, and some guy from Yahoo’s ConnectedTV division reported that according to (Nielsen i think) TV viewing per household is 9.25 hours PER DAY!!!

                  Does this seem a bit high to anyone? He didn’t mention breakdowns of web vs traditional, but man that seems extraordinarily high doesn’t it?

                      yep. i LOOOOOOVED this movie. In fact, watching “The A-Team” which i hated, made me realize JUST how good this one was. Great combination of humor and action, a bit of cheesiness…great action movie.

                        I agree with skirge on those shows, and i totally agree with jenny. i couldn’t even get past 5 minutes of Undercovers. It was just soooooo bad. everything about it. awful

                          yeah, i agree swoon. im sure HBO wants them to bundle HBO, HBO2, HBO3, HBO4, etc. I’m not saying the blame is on JUST MSO’s….but c’mon. With their size, I think they could start fixing things if they cared to.

                          Even with 500,000 less subscribers, i betcha they’re still turning a profit

                              anyone else frightened when Mikinho says he tested on “8 different computers”? See, as much as i love the guy, he makes me feel like such a weak geek 🙂

                                i’m not saying you can’t have the bundles still. I mean, if McDonald’s can figure it out with their Value Meals, i think big MSOs can handle it–Burger + Fry + Coke = $6 if each individual, or if you buy them altogether the value meal is $4

                                Uhm, you’re telling me if Cable offered a “sports value package” that had Basic Cable+ESPNs, TNT, TBS, Versus, Spike for $25 that you wouldn’t be interested? Well, maybe if you needed HGTV or AMC, then that “Value Cable” bundle at $40 would be worth it…etc.

                                I cut my cable a while back, and the only thing that hurts is i miss coming home (i can wait for any sitcom/show/series), just turning on ESPN and watching sportscenter all night. But am i going to spend $60 for their lowest package to do so? nope 🙂

                                  I can’t believe in this day and age, with the technology the way it is, that we don’t have A-La-Carte cable. Seriously, it’s insulting. There’s absolutely no other industry that works this way. Oh, you want X service, that’s fine, but that only comes with Y, Z, M services in a package as well for more money.
