This article fails that the PS3's main competitor in 2007 was the Wii and the Toshiba HD DVD players not the Xbox360. Amazing how people claimed Toshiba was losing hundreds of dollars (closer to $50) on the $200 A3's yet ignoring the hundreds of dollars Sony was losing per PS3.
Kudos to Sony--to the victor goes the spoils. :up (Too bad Panasonic, Pioneer, JVC, Warner, Disney, Fox, MPEG LA and others want their cuts, too!)

Why are you guys discussing the dead? And Diogen, I am very happy to give you a target for your misleeding bs. Reading your rants and comebacks really does bring a smile to my face. You must live too close to the North Pole as your brain seems to lack the ablility to move on.
All of you are very smart, who cares that the first gen HD-DVD players could not do more then 5.1 -- its a dead format. Who cares if Sony loses their collective a$$e$ for two or three years -- they make a boatload of money as a company overall.
Seems everyone here has missed the big boat. To make money you have to spend it. At some time you have to gamble and that is what both Toshiba and Sony did with HD media. Toshiba does not have as many revenue streams as Sony does but neither company was ever in jeopardy of going belly-up - not before and not now.
As for the PS3, lets use this old article from August 2007(as you guys are so fond of living in the past):
X-bit labs - Sony's Low-Cost PlayStation 3 Features Lower Cost Components Too.
Now considering that Sony is better at manufacturing then Microsoft (The PS3 might be the least problematic console ever built) and use M$ BOM reduction of 38% and apply it to the PS3. I will use the numbers in the article. For the 60gb model sold for $599 and losing $301 dollars (I am using the highest value so that I don't hear any whining) you get a cost of $900 for the 60gb. If we apply 38% reduction cost we then get a savings of $342 per unit. That comes to $558 per unit that is now being sold for $499. We are looking at a loss of $59 per unit.
I am sure that when someone buys a PS3 that they do not buy extra contollers, games, the camera, the remote controller, and BluRay movies. They just buy the PS3 and set it on a shelf and look at it -- huh? You Sony haters really believe that Sony is losing on the PS3 that badly? It looks to me that the PS3 is just now becoming a cash cow for Sony. And as they save more money on production costs that cow is just going to grow.
Of course we could listen to Diogen and Vurbano who have still not left 2006 yet. Hey guys, come join us in the future, it's Independance Day 2008!

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.
I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.
Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

For the naysayers who did not think this service would make it, just added another 4.9M subscribers and that was after the removal of 1.2M Russia subscribers.
This is even better, Paramount+ revenue grew 120% and Subscription revenue grew 74% year-over-year ( 2nd quarter 2021/ 2nd quarter 2022) to $830M, principally reflecting paid subscriber growth on Paramount+.
Now compare that to Peacock with only 13 million paid, 13 million free.

So, this means that those of us with Commercial Free subs, won't be Commercial Free, unless we wait till after the show is over ?
Which would make same day, not that big of a deal.
Paramount+ has always had the CBS shows on the CBS local channel and yes with commercials. What they are doing now is releasing the OnDemand versions of the show which I believe they don't release until after the shows air on the west coast. And they will be commercial free if you subscribe to the ad free version of Paramount+.So, this means that those of us with Commercial Free subs, won't be Commercial Free, unless we wait till after the show is over ?

I wasn't up at 3:00 am to check but they are there at 8:00 am today.
The new curated multiview is now live.
While on many of the sports channels and non sports channels there is a multi view option button. It will pull up a side bar with many different multi view options.

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
For niche use cases, yes I agree. Kali for ethical hacking and security testing, and running a Cacti server for network monitoring are the two things I have experience in. Plus thousands and thousands of other things, but for every day use I just can't see it. The owner of the GMRS repeater that I pay to access is changing the Tx DPL tones tomorrow, while Chirp is available on Linux, the software to program my MXT500 is not.To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
I run Fedora and Ubuntu in VMWare, honestly I don't care much for the UI of either of them and I don't feel like spending days/weeks to customize the UI to make it look Windows-like when I could just use Windows. The cartoonish dock at the bottom of the screen reminds me of Apple products.
For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.
