Better tv feature... Google TV or 3D tv? -- nm - stewie Oct 21, 13:49 14
- Google offcourse...you don't have to enter you'r login info for Playboy TV twice -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 21, 14:14
- Consumer Reports indicated that the first generation of 3D TV is a huge disappointment. -- nm - David Oct 21, 14:05
- I really don't know anything about Google TV yet. I'm not sold on BluRay yet, so it'll be quite a while before I graduate to 3D. -- nm - BloodyAxeSean Oct 21, 14:00 1
  - think of google TV as "android on your TV" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:24
- GoogleTV -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 13:51
- Can't decide on that yet. I like the 3D, however i hate the glasses, so I'm really curious about the glassless 3D tvs that are coming -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 13:51 4
  - glassesless 3DTV is intriguing, definitely. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:51 3
    - if it works. and works well. Expect them all to go glassless next year. -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 13:53 2
      - yep. it would arguably make the gimmick less dumb. slightly. - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:56 1
        
        it all depends on the movie, -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 14:02
- Personally, I agree with Max. Marketing-wise, 3DTV will probably be big this holiday season, but GoogleTV will have legs later on. - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:50 1
  - Best Buy seemed to be selling Google TV harder, but I think they might be exclusive with it - stewie Oct 21, 14:08

        I'm disturbed just that you remember it. -- nm - David Oct 21, 14:00 1
        
        [deleted]
  - Is it still available? - Spawn Oct 21, 13:51 10
    - It was never available. That was the cost for purchase, which I considered a great deal. -- nm - David Oct 21, 13:52 3
      - I don't know if the two of you saw this post from me from last night -- (link) - crash davis Oct 21, 13:54 [Backboard] 2
        
        If it is what I think it is, he replied to it on the next board. - Spawn Oct 21, 13:55 1
        
        My point is simple. I know a lot of people who never wound up dead like this. What did they have in common? - David Oct 21, 13:57
    - Spawn.com -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 13:51 5
      - McFarlane owned that from the get-go. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 13:52 4
        
        it might be for sale now for a buck -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 13:52 3

Juan Williams hired by Fox News -- (link) - Reagen Oct 21, 13:46 32
- Is it a surprise? He's a regular panelist on Fox News Sunday. -- nm - Dano Oct 21, 14:12 1
  - "Are you being sarcastic?" "I don't even know anymore." -- nm - Reagen Oct 21, 14:14
- [deleted] 26
  - I'm not sure I follow the parallel there. - znufrii Oct 21, 14:02 11
    - The parallel is that their comments, when taken in full, aren't nearly as controversial or inflammatory as those pushing the stories against them - Stephen Oct 21, 14:11 10
      - I know you want to believe he was saying something like "It's understandable that people, me included, have an instinctual fear of Muslims in airports - bloody mara Oct 21, 14:16 6
        
        He actually started to when he was cut off by O'Reilly -- nm - Stephen Oct 21, 14:37
        
        "I made it clear that all Americans have to be careful not to let fears lead to violation of anyone�s constitutional rights..." -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 21, 14:24 4
        
        He apparently feels his fears are rational and well-grounded. That's bigotry. -- nm - mara Oct 21, 14:30 2
        
        Oh, I think you misread. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Oct 21, 14:32 1
        
        he's basically just reiterating the same things. - mafic Oct 21, 14:38
        
        is not exactly the same as repudiating the validity of those fears. -- nm - znufrii Oct 21, 14:27
      - Williams' statement is the classical definition of bigotry. -- nm - Reagen Oct 21, 14:13 2
        
        But Sherrod's initial "I didn't want to help them cause they were white" wasn't? -- nm - Stephen Oct 21, 14:35 1
        
        which she then directly repudiated, saying she was wrong, in the portion of speech that was left out, iirc. -- nm - znufrii Oct 21, 14:38
  - From what I'm reading, this is a last straw type situation - Reagen Oct 21, 14:01 13
    - HAHA! -- nm - Nina Totenberg Oct 21, 14:05 9
      - I'm not here to defend or condemn every single hiring and firing situation. But every person works under different circumstances in these orgs - Reagen Oct 21, 14:18
      - [deleted] 7
        
        I can see how political bias (unless there's another incident with Totenburg I'm not finding) might be seen differently than racial bigotry... - znufrii Oct 21, 14:25 6
        
        So we're boiling wishing someone (and their grandkids by the way) gets AIDS is boiled down to political bias now? - Stephen Oct 21, 14:33 5
        
        a dispicable sentiment to be sure, but still categorically different than racially motivated comments. - znufrii Oct 21, 14:36 4
        
        Does it matter? - Stephen Oct 21, 14:38 3
        
        well, yeah, that's kind of the whole crux of my argument. - znufrii Oct 21, 14:44 2
        
        Wow -- nm - Stephen Oct 21, 14:49 1
        
        Also, I guess the grandkids of this person is fair game too? - Stephen Oct 21, 14:50
    - [deleted] 2
      - And really, within their rights. Every journalist knows they moonlight at their own risk. -- nm - Reagen Oct 21, 14:04 1
        
        [deleted]
- Good for him. I may not always agree with him, but from what i've heard from him he seems like a fairly reasonable person. -- nm - Stephen Oct 21, 13:52
- didn't see that coming at all... -- nm - znufrii Oct 21, 13:47 1
  - especially with all the other black journalists who must be beating down the door to get on their network -- nm - hachiko Oct 21, 13:55

is there an alternative other than parallels for running winders on a mac - Truman Oct 21, 13:41 1
- There are at least two, and one is free. I think the free one is VirtualBox. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:45
i know it's been discussed tons (like, yesterday even) but just tell me this: iPhone or Android? -- nm - Andie Oct 21, 13:41 29
- I still love my iPhone -- nm - Stephen Oct 21, 14:13
- Android. -- nm - Ender Oct 21, 13:51
- Neither. Show your Canadian support and buy a Blackberry!!!! -- nm - Walt_Disney Oct 21, 13:47 2
  - am i weird? i have no desire for a blackberry, i want more of browser phone. the LG Shine has a pull out keyboard, tho, which i think i want. -- nm - Andie Oct 21, 13:48 1
    - No, you're not weird at all. iPhones and Androids are basically miniature tablet PCs, Blackberries are little email tools. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:49
- I don't think you can go wrong with either, really. Lots of people love their iPhones, and lost of people like the less expensiveness of Android. -- nm - BloodyAxeSean Oct 21, 13:45

  - more: This might be my new phone. LG Shine Plus -- (link) - Andie Oct 21, 13:44 8
    - That looks very similar to my (and TFox) Samsung Moment. The slideout keyboard is a good thing to have. -- nm - BloodyAxeSean Oct 21, 13:47 2
      - ah, and you like yours i assume? -- nm - Andie Oct 21, 13:48 1
        
        Yep, like it a lot. I'd like a bigger screen (which the newest version has), but otherwise I really like it. - BloodyAxeSean Oct 21, 13:50
    - I like! -- nm - bloody mara Oct 21, 13:46
    - after showing the phone for a few seconds, I got a province selection page -- nm - zork Oct 21, 13:46 3
