I see the music labels are having a fit about Amazon's cloud locker. -- (link) - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 6, 14:30 10
- I'm beginning to think the RIAA and labels hate that they actually have to provide music. Why can't we just give them our money for nothing? -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 14:49 1
  - Since many of the artists who do the music get screwed out of money, the RIAA effectively does get money for nothing. -- nm - David Apr 6, 14:51

Who killed the Xoom? -- (link) - David Apr 6, 14:17 7
- $600 for wifi only killed it before it even came out - stewie Apr 6, 14:23 4
  - Exactly. The price just kills it. It's more expensive than the ipad. That's going to kill it for most people. - pmb Apr 6, 14:34 3
    - Ultimately I think it will be a far superior product, even moreso than iPhone vs Droids... because of what Google will do with cloud integration - stewie Apr 6, 14:44 2
      - Maybe, but this isn't the way to go about building the market. Especially when there are a bunch of other products out there cheaper running a - pmb Apr 6, 14:46 1

      - Yeah, those deals are funny. I get movies that show up at my door unexpectedly because I've taken advantage of those deals in the past. - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 6, 14:23 3
        
        i almost ordered tangled twice, because I had placed the first order back in january. amazon really should warn you when you have those items in your - tRuMaN Apr 6, 14:45 2
        
        On the information page for an item, it will say if/when you've bought it. - David Apr 6, 14:47 1

      - Is Bravo one of the NBC/Universal networks? - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 6, 14:27 1
        
        Yes, they are part of that family. And they were pretty blunt about the fact that Lisa made for great drama. -- nm - David Apr 6, 14:33

  - what did you expect? -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 14:16 6
    - That it wouldn't be the exact same movie. Am I speaking Russian today or something? -- nm - Qale Apr 6, 14:22 5
      - what would possibly lead you to expect that? -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 14:23 4
