 Change of VOD feeds

Anybody noticed that the normally watchable VOD feeds for their area are now scrambled....I am not able to watch my neighbor fast forward through soft core porno anymore...

Have to find something else for humor now.....

 Firefox, Safari Cut Into Internet Explorer's Market Share

»tech.yahoo.com/news/nf/20090102/tc_nf/63826
According to the Web metrics provider, Microsoft's browser market share has declined by more than six percent since February 2008. The browser held a 68.15 percent market share in December -- its lowest in years.

By contrast, Mozilla Firefox's market share rose one-half of a percentage point from November and has climbed more than four percent since February to reach 21.34 percent in December.

Apple's Safari browser has also been chipping away at Internet Explorer's market share for months. Since February, Safari's market share has grown more than two percent to a 7.93 percent share in December.

However, Safari's rising market share is almost entirely due to the rising sales of Mac computers, which ship with Safari.

Even Google's Chrome browser, which debuted in early September, exceeded one percent for the first time in December. Among the world's top five Web browsers, only Opera appears to be going nowhere. Opera's market share has hovered around the 0.7 percent mark since February.
Other browsers keep picking up market share as IE continues to drop. MS better hope that Windows 7 & IE8 start out quick this summer and have lots of new faster features.

Google Shows Users iPhone Easter Egg

Google informs users of some hidden settings on its Google iPhone Mobile App. The "Bells and Whistles" as they call it, are actually found under the Settings page of the app. While at first glance it looks like the "About" button is the last setting on the page but in reality if you continue to swipe your finger upward to go down the page further you will find the secret easter egg that Google has hidden away. You may need to keep swiping for a while to actually see it.

Up until A short time ago tuning through the digital cable bands, one would find the on Demand feeds for their node. They were broadcast in the clear. You could see the pauses and fast forwards they the user was doing. That seems to have changed now with Comcast, as they have now started toe scramble the feeds, so that only the actual user can see it. Probably what should be done, but it was always fun to tune around and see what the neighbors were watching on the VOD.

Re: Firefox, Safari Cut Into Internet Explorer's Market Share

I've played with the betas of IE8 and they feel cluttered. I never liked the way they changed the bookmark system in IE7 anyway ... and now there are a bunch of new features I don't need or want.

I don't think IE8 is going to be a hit ... I think it will be the version that causes MS to realize they need to slim down the browser and let the user add the features they want, sort of like the modularization they are moving to with their server (2008) OS.

Re: Firefox, Safari Cut Into Internet Explorer's Market Share

I have been using Chrome a lot...Not as customizable as Firefox but it is fast and simple. I am probably 50 50 now between the both of them. IE7 is only used on sites that require it.......my $0.02

Re: Change of VOD feeds

You must have a "Clear QAM" tuner, then just run the scan function, In NC Indiana the 87-90 digital channels were used for VOD. (89-2, 89-4, etc.), but they are now scrambled so I cannot see them.
