    It's 'Bridge 9340'. It's a high traffic bridge with great toll booth and income potential. It requires "some" maintenance. If you act now, I can get you in on a sweet deal for it. Sometimes I just amaze myself at the sacrifices I'm willing to make for my friends and family!!!

    But I do happen to have a bridge that would really suit you nicely (if you're interested).

    That was hilarious. I recommend watching Jobs keynote speech at CES 2008 first to appreciate it even more.

    It's funny you bring it up. I actually thought about that after I made my post.

    But there is simply "No Way" some one is going to get my VUDU box. They are just going to have to buy their own!!!!

    We had a party yesterday and was showing off the VUDU to our guests.

    One person liked it so much he wanted to buy it from me.

    I found out he was an Apple fan-boy so I sold him my ATV for $150 instead.

    SUCKER!!!


    I wasn't really using it that much anyways.

    I also finally pulled the plug on Netflix the other day.

    So now I'm down to just VUDU and Directv for my movie content.

    If worse comes to worse I can always run down to BlockBuster. But I have a feeling I won't need to.

    3) Apple has WAY more "tv" content then Vudu
    Agreed. Apple has been in this market for a LOT longer though - about 2 years or more. So they've had time to build up the TV library and make deals. I think Vudu will be getting more in the months to come. The product is only 6 months old now. I hope they get more for sure...


    But come on, who "really cares". There are plenty of ways to get tv content. I use the PhazGorzmic Directv box myself, but there are many other outlets for tv.

    NA9D was wondering out loud, in another post, why Apple doesn't provide SD content in DD5.1. I thought about it a lot (but didn't lose any sleep over it) and I conclude they are in the lowest demoninator trap. They have to provide content to all their media devices and don't want to make the effort to provide a good "home entertainment" experience at the cost of all the ways they serve their content with other devices.

    Am I so out of touch that no one can get tv from a tv???

    I dunno, but they did. I'm somewhat frustrated at the slow pace of Vudu's HD release schedule. It's up to 119 right now or something like that but it could go quicker. IMHO, every new release should be in HD...
