I love my 360, but Microsoft is really shooting itself in the foot with this nonsense.

Banning modded consoles is one thing, but stopping people from avoiding their idiotic over-priced accessories is quite another.

Desist MS.

It's actually a bit of a mystery to me this one. Flash is very badly optimised, and I had a chat with someone from DivX once who pointed out it's the worst way of displaying video imaginable. Adobe says that it has optimisations for using the GPU in your computer (both PC and Mac) but I've never seen any evidence of it.

Silverlight, on the other hand, seems to handle GPU acceleration properly.

My work computer refuses to play most 720p videos on YouTube, but has no problem with Silverlight.

This is to 1080p video what cheese in a can is to cheese.

A bastardisation.

It would be totally awesome if the CE partner was Popcorn Hour. Because I have one, and I'd love to see Boxee on it :)

I'm using the Magic at the moment. It's brilliant. Apart from the battery life - which is dreadful.

Android is nothing short of brilliant.

What's better than that? Something not made by Apple.

Well, those of us that like electronic music would probably prefer this to sitting around clicking a couple of buttons on a pretend guitar.

That's not ironic.

I like Fringe - not sure I'd buy it on Blu-ray though.

As for the audio being Dolby Digital, that's really not enough to put me off. DD is great quality and although I'd never turn down lossless audio, I think compressed is, for the most part, fine.

Fucking hell, check out the tendrils on that.
