| sebsebseb | is axed gone | Feb 02 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | Channel One is gone as well formally Virgin 1 | Feb 02 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | Living is called Sky Living and those channels yeah Sky | Feb 02 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | and maybe we got one or two extra Sky Channels, but I am that happy | Feb 02 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | even though I didn't watch Bravo that often anyway, but it was a good channel | Feb 02 00:13 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: DRM sandboxes? no, this is only interesting because it can run Android/ | Feb 02 00:13 |
| schestowitz | Not encouraged or even permitted | Feb 02 00:14 |
| qu1j0t3 | the article is about android on it. | Feb 02 00:14 |
| qu1j0t3 | without that i'm not interested | Feb 02 00:14 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: i think buying cheap devices then running linux unsupported is just fine. that's pretty much all a PC is :D | Feb 02 00:15 |
| schestowitz | if they sell at a loss---yes | Feb 02 00:17 |
| qu1j0t3 | i don't see it like that, just "is it good value" | Feb 02 00:18 |
| qu1j0t3 | not aiming to destroy Barnes & Noble by buying their device. that's daft. | Feb 02 00:18 |
| schestowitz | Punishing them for DRM by making them pay for it | Feb 02 00:18 |
| qu1j0t3 | won't work | Feb 02 00:18 |
| qu1j0t3 | it's not an avenue to punish | Feb 02 00:18 |
| schestowitz | I see.. | Feb 02 00:22 |
| qu1j0t3 | i mean, a total boycott is fine too, but if this device turns out to be great value then it's an alternative to e.g. somebody buying an iThing or a Windrone | Feb 02 00:27 |
| qu1j0t3 | ...running android of course. | Feb 02 00:27 |
| sebsebseb | schestowitz: turns out its been like that since 1st Jan | Feb 02 00:28 |

| qu1j0t3 | maybe turning a drm device into an android device is a form of boycott too... | Feb 02 00:28 |
| qu1j0t3 | since the device itself isn't the profit centre | Feb 02 00:29 |
| qu1j0t3 | (it's too cheap; it's priced to enter... the the profit is on 'books' presumably) | Feb 02 00:29 |
