What a ridiculous and self-serving rationalization for transgressive behavior.

If you don't like what something costs, or how it is sold, then do without it. Simple!

Comparing NFL Network's demand of $0.70 per subscriber to Versus' and Golf's $0.25 per subscriber is ridiculous. Let NFL Network accept $0.25 per subscriber if they want to be on the basic tier.

This is a great move on Comcast's part. I don't want one penny of mine to go to subsidize heavy users. Usage should be metered.

Gosh, I have to wonder why no one thought to try to get people to actually WATCH THE SHOW. Want to save Dollhouse? Make sure it gets excellent ratings!

No, no... that just makes too much sense. What was I thinking?

FiOS strung fiber past here a year and a half ago, and have had license to offer service in town almost that long, but refuse to offer service to me because they simply are picking and choosing which parts of town they want to bother providing service to. >shrug

I read the advice as saying that we're approaching a sweet-spot with regard to LCD panels, that being just after the holidays. The point, I believe, is that the way things are now, pressure on retailers will result in a situation where just after the holidays, they'll be forced to substantially reduce prices even further to clear out 2007 models that simply won't sell at desired price-points this year. For Summer 2008 and beyond, perhaps retailers will be more conservative, so supply will be reduced and therefore the price-the-value ratio won't be as attractive.

This is consistent with what happened with DLP a year and a half ago, though without as much of the the added pressure of reduced demand we're seeing with regard to LCD today. Folks who waited until mid-year 2006 to buy DLP took advantage of substantially lower prices than was available up to then, and substantially higher quality than was available up to then. While both prices and quality have improved since then, the rate of improvement for both has leveled out, making it more of a "now or never" kind of decision.

For LCD panels, the prices have been quite high, and so waiting has been beneficial. Again, I believe the point is that we're approaching a sweet-spot with regard to LCD panels, at point at which, thereafter, waiting won't make as much sense.

I love how the main character in the books written by the television series' Temperance Brennan character in named Kathy Reichs! LOL!!!

She was great in Titus.

SDV is the biggest concern. With TiVo saying that the S3 will never be able to overcome SDV, I feel the S3 is DOA.
