Early Prediction: This game will suck.

While it's possible my personal interest is statistically insignificant, I can say I really liked the last generation of Zunes, and that the Zune software is immeasurably better than iTunes. iTunes is the primary reason I won't purchase an iPod. If they ever got it right, I might reconsider. As things are, I'm looking forward to learning more about this device.

Wake ME up when iTunes doesn't suck.

Same here. What a lot of people don't think about is that, with modern ads, you often get audio and video. Yes, you can often block them (unless you're trying to watch a video and the ad precedes it)--but that's a constant arms race.

Why are they doing this? I think it's because they can see the writing on the wall for traditional cable TV. Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, etc. You want a show or movie? It's a click away. In five years, everyone will be doing it--so they've elected to get their money by bleeding the customer rather than adapting.

I don't have any other options where I live. I'm going to have to go DSL--but I'd rather do that than be capped. I also canceled my cable TV with Time Warner and have switched to satellite. When I explained why, the rep said, "Well, if you don't mind my asking, where are you going to go?" I said, "I'd rather use AOL dialup than be manipulated. As soon as you guys put the caps in place, I'll figure something else out."

They're going to get some calls. The people who stay on who "don't know any better" are the same people who don't know how to secure their Wi-Fi connections. I hope TWC plans to expand the number of people working support.

Hi. I'm trying to change the email address associated with my account. Please help. No response from Engadget.

Thanks for all the advice and encouragement. Got the gmail account already, btw. I'd had my previous email address long before Google.

Forgot about Thief.

Hi. I've switched ISPs and no longer use the same email address. Why is this relevant to this Hitachi product announcement? It isn't--but, since I've received no response from Engadget regarding my request to change the email address tied to my account, I thought I might try posting the request in every comment I find until I get some sort of response.

Actually, we do have a Constitution to protect us from the opinions of the majority--which many of our elected officials seem to have forgotten. Also, our elected officials often do not represent the opinions of the majority of their constituents.

Nah, kbeehaze. A real man would have saved face and actually done it--or, better yet, not made up the story in the first place. It's not too late to go buy one and do it, btw. I'll wait.
