Typical arrogance from someone on the East Coast. Just because a lot of folks live there does not make you the be all to the end all. We do matter. Just because you do not care about us does not really matter. This is what leads to a lot of intolerance from many sides.

Re: [CGUYS] New Mac Mini
I am a subscriber to Netflix and view Netflix movies on my computer and my WII on the wide screen TV (Streamed) Few drawbacks yet. New releases usually are not on the view menu. Because of Studio agreements and what not they usually take some time before you can watch them this way. (and usually do not till they are a few years old.) Closed Captions. Most movies (they are working to improve this) do not have closed captions available. My wife hates it because I have to turn the TV up to hear the movie. Limited menu. As I stated before not all movies are available in this manner, and the list is constantly changing. (Some studios actually pull movies from the list.) Not too long ago the studios started penalizing Netflix (and Redbox) by not allowing them the new releases on the same day as the stores got them for sale. They did this because of money once again. In their minds they sell more movies in the month following a new release than they do after this date and if they can prevent consumers from being able to rent these movies in that time frame they feel they can make up their investment. So Netflix and Redbox have come to agreements with the studios (the honest truth is the studios blackmailed and arm twisted them into it.) and all is OK right now (you simply wait a month till you can rent it.) It is interesting that the only video rental company who did not have this happen, already had a kickback agreement with the studio, Blockbuster (which is going down the tubes) Studios will have to be the first ones to change this problem. I agree being able to stream the entertainment is neat. But until you can truly stream the movies you want instead of what Hollywood will allow you too, BR and DVD will still be the preferred method of distribution.

Re: [CGUYS] New Mac Mini
You live in a dream world. I broke my foot in October and spent the month of November watching Hulu on my tv, Qwest turned off my internet connection shortly after. I called and was informed my usage was too high and this was their way of warning me to lower it. They would not say how much I had used, nor give me a definitive usage number, however in talking to two reps I was informed that normal usage was 2 or maybe 3 gigs a month. Let's see...one BR is what? 10 gigs? Oh wait...can you even stream HD? Even SD is 1 gig per hour of watching? I could get one movie and then not check my email that month, not download any podcasts etc etc. Or I could get part one of The Fellowship of the Ring and then watch the second half of Fellowship the following month. Netflix has offered an alternative to those with good internet connections to renting SD movies. To see netflix as an alternative to BR is not seeing reality. Perhaps in a few years when connections get faster it will be the case, but for now, for those who enjoy movies the answer is a good HD monitor and a BR box.

Re: [CGUYS] New Mac Mini
What you fail to realize is that you live in a unique area. From DC north to NYC and the environs have the highest density of population on the east coast and the companies that serve that area put a large share of their resources in that area to ensure good above average Internet connectivity. If you live on the west coast of CA between SF and SD you again have a high density of population and get great Internet service. It is the area in between that has the problems. It is spotty to say the least. By the end of the year we should have some good competition in the cable network here in town. A new company is rolling out service and putting up the infrastructure right now. My service provider is worried. It is offering great deals on service, but I must sign up for a long term contract. I will wait. Stewart At 06:15 PM 6/17/2010, you wrote: The only people I know who can't manage a decent broadband connection are on his list. And the DC area is not all that advanced.
