    #18 Bluray rips are 6-10 gig is all but they use a really awful encoding. The technology had advanced way beyond that primitive crap in the last half decade. I am on my iPhone so I can’t post the link, but find the 1080p stream. It only needs 1.5mbit and is true 1080p…

    So with your run of the mill cable modem connection you should be good all month.

    Lol horrible time for msft haters rofl

    I’m not sure what your definition of BR quality is with 1.5mbit. Somewhere along the line of VGA resolution? Maybe do a little google to find out what’s needed to stream real HD content? Standards like 720p or 1080p, or even better 1080p at 50/60 fps.

    That 1.5mbps isn’t going to cut it, sorry. *thinking to myself, maybe he’s talking about youtube HD videos?”

    #12 Did you get one of the freebie pc’s?

    #14 So either you are a hard core fundy or you hooked up with one. Either way, you sound full of manure.

    #15 Hear the tech5 podcast. It usually pays up to hear it before commenting here.

    #21 What! You can’t post links with that crap phone of yours? Aaaaahahahahahahahaha. Sucker!

    If you would like to see some pretty good HD streaming, go to ABC and check out some of their shows. My computer has an 18.5″ monitor and the full screen is smooth and sharp. ABC’s servers will deliver up to 19Mbps but generally settle down to around 3Mbps. You’ll have to get the latest version of Adobe Flash.

    Damn pedro, wash the sand out of your vagina.

    Yes, I hear john say it, but I cant find any thing to corroborate it. Major Nelson confirms the obvious: no BD for 360. He says nothing about the next generation.

    John, can you elaborate on that story?

    You’re definitely an idiot. Please go learn to research and stop spouting your HD, 1080P 1mbit streaming crap. I gave you a link, READ IT. How fcking lazy can you be?

    But first learn reading comprehension!!!

  11. The0ne says:

    Postman,

    For you so you stop making a fool of yourself, direct blog from netflix on their streams. Again, reading comprehension first!!!!!

    #27 Pedro,
    Nah! There where 14 of those but they were for the people of the town. Actually this has to be the cheapest MS Iberica OS launch ever! Usually they do these macro events in a big city, where they rent out a big place, have tons of machines for the public to try, wine and dine the press, and most of the time they got some Redmond bigwig videoconferencing on a big screen. None of that this time. Not even free copies of 7 to try at home. Even the merchandising they gave out to the press was crappy with the exception of a pair of hand carved wooden shoes I liked those.

  13. Glenn E. says:

    I was checking out Hulu today. And all the Tv show episodes had no dialog, just background music and sound effects. I couldn’t find any option to restore or switch on the dialog. Just for turning on the Close Caption. But three weeks ago, when I was watching an episode of Fringe, that I had missed. The dialog was present. Just the frame rate was a bit jerky.

    So is this a result of something News Corp did? It even effected episodes of things not seen on FOX. So what the hell is up?

  14. Jeff Little says:

    So Microsoft is going to start creating PCs?

    So will be be nosy and have red rings too?
