"I'm not so worried about the Netflix player since now I have that via my Xbox 360. :-) But for the non-gaming world, I think adding Netflix to a Blu-ray player shouldn't be a reason to charge much more." - Bob Caswell

"Dr.DUH- peskypescado's comment above nullifies your first paragraph: $300 million ad budget as compared to $8 billion in R How does the little number outweigh the big one?" - Bob Caswell

"Very well said! It does look even worse for Apple from within that context." - Bob Caswell

"Maybe because -- for a lot of people -- "work great" is something that's already happening... without paying a premium." - Bob Caswell

"Throughout the comments, Arrington seems to justify his post by referring back to the Wikipedia fiasco he faced earlier with said MS employee. I think that's where his point might have a chance of being valid. As for the current situation though (leaving aside the separate first situation), I'm still trying to see how the discussion ties back to Microsoft. I mean, there's no discussion of a Microsoft product or strategic move, etc. It may not be about quilting (to change Scoble's mind), but it may as well be for as little as it has to do with MS. It's just some guy's opinion on a blog's tone during these economic conditions." - Bob Caswell

So "position of neutrality" is the new reason for no sale? Funny, last I heard it was "not enough money." The cynic in me wants to point out my opinion that "position of neutrality" probably isn't as much of a concern to Jay Adelson and crew at a certain price point. - Bob Caswell via FriendFeed MT Plugin

"I hadn't thought of it in the context of job search... That could be interesting. As for spam, I actually don't think I got any. Every email I got was pretty specific and didn't seem to have any other purpose other than showing real interest in the bed I was selling. But after brief interaction, I thought of it as more an issue of Craigslist users just being flaky." - Bob Caswell

"It is indeed a time vs. money question. Also, I should mention that I don't think eBay is convenient at all. Not only does it cost more, but it still has a high probability of sucking my time away. I guess the main point is that I've realized the difference in savings between Amazon and whatever alternative to Amazon is rarely enough to justify the extra time wasted (for me)." - Bob Caswell

"But it wouldn't be a complete waste of money... The point is, if an HD DVD player is the same quality (if not better) and same price as compared to upconverting regulard DVD players, then why not spring for the HD and enjoy that extra bonus with the movies that are out in that format?" - Bob Caswell

"Just checked it out... Thanks, Tom, for the link." - Bob Caswell

"The funny thing is that technically we're supposed to pay sales tax on all online purchases (keep track of it ourselves and include it as part of our yearly taxes)... but does anyone actually do that?" - Bob Caswell

very funny, i forwarded this to a friend who works at european commission. she answered to me that her unit was responsible for this spot. so little world ^^ - Baptiste Cadiou via twhirl

these elements are very hostile to heterosexuality. frankly. - ⓃⓄⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂⓄⓃ

not sure what the tune is, but it sounds really like the collaborations Mark E Smith (from The Fall) did with Coldcut (early cut'n'paste house music pioneers) back in the late 80s ... http://www.mp3sale.ru/track.ph... - Tobias Peggs

"Good info and nice idea to blog it... But how do you make sure your customers aren't reading your blog? Maybe it's not a big deal, but I, for one, wouldn't necessarily want to have this conversation with them (if it were me)." - Bob Caswell

"I think you're right, Heidi. Full length fiction, though, can often be one of the first things to get squeezed out (of my life) when time feels scarce. But I'm working on changing that..." - Bob Caswell

"Hi Heidi, nice to hear from you! And, yes, I definitely remember you... I love how blogging can keep me connected without me having to try very hard. Interesting points on your phone experiences... I'd love to read your rant. Feel free to drop a url in a comment or send me an email." - Bob Caswell

No "may" about it - Brian Sullivan

"Hi Brady, good to hear from you. You're canceling experiences sound much nicer than mine. Even when I was able to get straight to a person, it was rarely the right person (the "retention" department has to help, apparently). Anyway, about the AMEX Platinum card... haven't tried it, but I do have an AMEX Hilton card, which has no annual fee. I run my whole life through the thing and get a few free nights a year at whatever Hilton I want. For no annual fee I can't complain." - Bob Caswell

"That's funny, Tom, because we do the cards-in-a-drawer thing too! But every couple of years I figure it's time to make the divorce official. The weird thing is that even though it can only waste my time and hurt my credit score, it still feels satisfying..." - Bob Caswell

"Daniel, my thoughts exactly. If it's a few days, no biggie, but I agree that once we start using the word "week" instead of "day" to describe this problem, that might be different... Hopefully we won't get to that point." - Bob Caswell
