Thread: Motorola is ending the search for a buyer for its set top box unit.

Motorola is ending the search for a buyer for its set top box and networking business, because it cannot find anyone willing to pay enough for the unit.

Yet another indication that they think too highly of themselves. Such arrogance and poor business decisions have made them the company they are today..... I'm sure someone would take the reins (or at least the DCII license) if offered for a reasonable price.
Apparently someone failed to circulate the memo that they MUST share the marketplace. Something big M has never been very good at.

Sounds like apple computers with their death grip style control over their products and inflated prices.

Apple got products that people want and love.

I am an Apple convert. I wish I have done that way earlier. Would have saved me a lot of hair on my head from the headaches with Windows and how slow it is.

crackt out,.

I had apple computers for a long time but my next computers is gonna be a windows mahine running linux probably.
Because the reason I bought apple is because u could go with their computers for a long time you could just buy a new processor drop it in and you're good to go.
But now they,ve gone like windows.
They changed thy're cpus from Motorola to Intel just like the pc's so people throw away their macs and go RUN and buy a new one.
PLus they made their new iPOds USB 2.0 ONLY so if you have an older computer THROW IT AWAY AND RUN TO BUY A NEW ONE.
I have an Apple G5 with dual 2.0ghz and and I can't find any software for this thing because every new apple software only works on Intel chips.
So I need to throw it away and go buy their i MAC that can't support ANY KIND OF UPGRADE so everytime I want to upgrade I throw it away and buy the next newer one
