Oh, and before you call me an apple apologetic, how about the 15 or so others just like me I counted in the past 20 posts youve been in.]]>Jun 26th 2008 1:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/zeevees-zvbox-spotted-demonstrated-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/zeevees-zvbox-spotted-demonstrated-on-video/

I am willing to offer ONE BILLION DOLLARS (that may possibly be imaginary) to anyone who invents a stab-people-through-the-internet machine.]]>Jun 26th 2008 3:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/zeevees-zvbox-spotted-demonstrated-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/zeevees-zvbox-spotted-demonstrated-on-video/Although it's an early prototype, I'd be happy to sell it to you for at least $1bn.

Just a warning, it's only compatible with DEC´s PDP-1. We're working on expanding compatibility to cover most IBM System/360's model 60+. We're having some problems converting it to run with the 360's 8-bit byte, though, so it might take a couple of months.]]>Jun 26th 2008 4:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/zeevees-zvbox-spotted-demonstrated-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/zeevees-zvbox-spotted-demonstrated-on-video/Jun 26th 2008 2:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/zeevees-zvbox-spotted-demonstrated-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/zeevees-zvbox-spotted-demonstrated-on-video/Jun 26th 2008 4:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/zeevees-zvbox-spotted-demonstrated-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/zeevees-zvbox-spotted-demonstrated-on-video/
I'm reasonably wealthyarsed, but unfortunately I'm allergic to white, so this really is the only option for me.]]>Jun 26th 2008 4:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/zeevees-zvbox-spotted-demonstrated-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/zeevees-zvbox-spotted-demonstrated-on-video/Jun 26th 2008 4:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/zeevees-zvbox-spotted-demonstrated-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/zeevees-zvbox-spotted-demonstrated-on-video/
He's posting crap all over threads and he's disliked by a large
percentage of the userbase here.

Is there no sort of punishment system? Can I, too, post a large
amount of question-marks and not get any remand?

It's ridiculous, perhaps create a user-block function or just block
clak altogether. I don't think anyone would miss him too much.

I don't want to get started on clak's first comment altogether..

... in closing;

I'll quote NerdTalker as clak does in his signature,

? I can't figure it out. Either you're the biggest attention whore
I've ever seen on the internet, or you just don't know when the hell
to shut up. Seriously. I think it's to the point that people are
voting you down every time they see your name (I know I am) because
they're so tired of it. I mean, for crying out loud, watching you
argue here is like watching someone you hate being stoned to death;
you aren't sure whether you want to believe person is fighting back
because they were caught "in the wrong," or pick up a rock.

Moreover, seriously just THINK before you open your mouth... Are you
batshit insane or just fucking stupid? You'd think that with the
frequency you post on engadget that SOME of the information actually
presented here would soak in. ... BTW, perhaps you should show your
girlfriend how you get gangbanged by your own idiocy everyday here in
the comment section. I'm sure you'll score way better than you did
with the Lenovo X300 affair, you pussywhipped fuck. - NerdTalker?]]>Jun 26th 2008 5:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/zeevees-zvbox-spotted-demonstrated-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/zeevees-zvbox-spotted-demonstrated-on-video/Jun 26th 2008 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/zeevees-zvbox-spotted-demonstrated-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/zeevees-zvbox-spotted-demonstrated-on-video/
Just goes to show how much more of a dumbass he is.

The box is small and quiet. It generates very little heat. It's always on and uses no more than 5 watts when active (less when in standby). With a decent ISP the video quality is at or near DVD quality. The selection is decent and growing every day. The Roku box is easy to use for ANYbody; Not just tech geeks like us. My wife can pick up the remote and get a movie whenever she wants with this thing. There's no jumping through hoops or sub-menus, and best of all, there's no concern about price because every video and movie is free for the watching.

I paid for a year of Netflix at their basic level ($9.95 a month, 1 DVD out at a time, unlimited rentals and unlimited Instant Watch) and that cost less than it would cost to buy a few seasons of a TV series on iTunes. For that price, I have access to season 1 & 2 of Weeds, tons of classic shows (Munsters, Addams Family, Battlestar Galactica, Forever Knight, Quantum Leap, Sliders, etc.), Season 1 & 2 of Doctor Who, Season 1 of Dexter, and many others.

I also get a lot of great classic movies, quite few 70s/80s/90s movies, and a good collection of recent hits (not great, mind you, but there are some decent flicks in the collection so far).

If I wanted that much on my Xbox 360 Video Marketplace, I'd be spending HUNDREDS, not to mention having to put up with the fan noise and putting my 360 through wear & tear. It would also use a lot more electricity.

If I kept my Apple TV, I'd also pay a LOT more for all the stuff I watch on my Roku Netflix Player. It, too, would use more electricity and it gets HOT.

My Xbox 360 is great for games; So I use it for games.
My MacBook can do everything the Apple TV could do, so I'll use that for my iTunes & YouTube stuff (I never use Flickr).

I already had a Netflix subscription, so the Roku box is like getting a large chunk of my Netflix-available movies without having to wait for the mail. It's quick, on-demand, and works better than the Apple TV did for me.

Seriously; If you're a Netflix subscriber and have at least a 2Mbps connection, the Roku player is totally worth the $109 you'd pay for it.
