One shall stand, one shall ball.

Mostly it's networks not knowing what the internet is.

yeah and that's something that may not be resolved for several years due to lol contracts

unless, of course, apple forces the networks to cave, which i'm 99% sure will happen

arkarian

not the least reason for which is that apple could buy all the major media corporations for what is essentially pocket change

I stream 1080p southpark episodes perfectly fine, so I don't see any reason to torrent them.

Everything else I'll just queue up and torrent though.

Sort of hope Apple inexplicably implodes. Just because it would be interesting.

Which is why it will never ever happen.

i'm sure they'll fade out eventually, but i mean look at long microsoft has lasted

anyway, regardless of what you think of the company's products, they've done a hell of a lot of good in moving toward consumer-driven digital consumption

I don't mean fade out, I mean a complete collapse. Fade outs are boring, anyone can do that.

and they're going to do it with tv too

arkarian

2012-08-20 11:25:34 pm

red chamber dream

and i can't wait because tv is kind of horrible

arkarian

2012-08-20 11:26:12 pm

or at least how we pay for it is

I'm not actually convinced they'd make it better.

you wouldn't want to just pay for the channels or shows you watch, plus get a bunch of free channels like always?

arkarian

i watch maybe five shows a year, figure ten bucks a season, that's fifty bucks i'd pay for an entire year of tv

sounds pretty good to me

I sort of imagine everything Apple touches to suddenly become stupidly overpriced so I'd end up paying more anyway.

it's like when people used to have to buy entire cds just to hear a couple of songs they liked, then itunes came along, songs cost a buck, people loved it, and it didn't kill the music industry
