Companies continuously create new technology they have no intention of using, then patent it so no one else can, then sue them if they do.

Were have you been the past 5 years?
With as much bitching companies do about the costs of R&D, why waste it on something that may never get used by anyone?

...so they could sell the patent to RCA & GE!

Actually it's a great idea for people who just watch TV for the commericals ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Too-much-heat-15939247 Thu, 20 Apr 2006 23:11:31 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Too-much-heat-15936312 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Too-much-heat-15936312 Thu, 20 Apr 2006 18:31:41 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Too-much-heat-15937217
I'm just going to keep telling myself this was invented by accident while they were inventing commercial SKIPPING technology.

...whatever helps me sleep at night.

Ok, let's take off our tin foil hats and read a news article NOT spun by BBR.

Philips didn't go into "damage control" they said outright that they have no plans on outfitting any equipment with this technology.

They wouldn't do this because what if you simply wanted to change channels? What if you are channel surfing? What if you are manually going to your channel using the channel up button instead of entering the numbers? This thing would stop at every commercial and prevent you from getting where you wanted to go.

Good lord people, apply some common sense before you drink the Kool-aid...

This cost some money to make so if they made it, they have plans to make money off of it. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Too-much-heat-15936264 Thu, 20 Apr 2006 15:18:10 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Too-much-heat-15936230

Just more ways to price gouge the existing customer.

The only true way to prevent this is to boycott any and all Philips Electronics products to the point their stocks sink. The company is already in "damage control" mode. Now it is time to hurt them directly for this rediculous invention. Just don't buy their products. I sure won't! There are plenty of other electronics makers out there to spend my hard earned money on. It won't be Philips!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Too-much-heat-15936055 Thu, 20 Apr 2006 14:38:35 EDT
