I think the bigger hurdle for people will be more about watching content on the computer that's feature length that may not be the quality they're used to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8106820546854003223.post-33461387864470082122008-03-21T21:59:00.000-04:002008-03-21T21:59:00.000-04:00From the Chicago Pedantic Society:The "Cheezborger...From the Chicago Pedantic Society:<BR/><BR/>The "Cheezborger, cheezborger" sketch was a direct lift from the way the mostly greek staff at a now famous (thanks to the sketch) chicago bar called The Billy Goat, actually behaved. and still do. <BR/><BR/>they have a very limited menu to say the least. and they actually take offence if you only order a single cheezborger. the double is the way to go.<BR/><BR/>awesome cheezborgers though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8106820546854003223.post-15954142573470773832008-03-21T21:43:00.000-04:002008-03-21T21:43:00.000-04:00Quality-wise, you're right.

Hulu, I'd put at the next tier down. More of a VHS kind of thing. Still, user experience-wise, the on-demandness of hulu I'd put higher than any of the ones I mention, and that counts for something.raafihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428834358473817140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8106820546854003223.post-44017790458747397312008-03-21T13:41:00.000-04:002008-03-21T13:41:00.000-04:00@dun: I suspect it's some sort of legal thing havi...@dun: I suspect it's some sort of legal thing having to do with paying for residuals outside of the US and all.<BR/><BR/>@raafi: I find that the picture quality degrades considerably when I watch things full screen on my 13" MacBook. Are you having similar issues or are you getting good pictures.

I kind of like their service. The design feels clean; the player looks good. The organization of the library is a little cumbersome (like I really care what studio made what show?). Luckily, also, my new ad-blocking gizmo on my browser skips right past the commercials too. ;) It's like Tivo except, on my laptop and free.raafihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428834358473817140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8106820546854003223.post-73450974195494977092008-03-21T12:59:00.000-04:002008-03-21T12:59:00.000-04:00It would be weird to exclude only certain EU count...It would be weird to exclude only certain EU countries.
