Waste of time...

AOL users are net-newbies and therefore practically pc-illiterate so they do not know what a processor is let alone 'Viiv'.

Plasma or LCD only?

>plasma TVs or LCD TVs

What about projection TVs or good old CRTs?

DRM

This is actually BAD news.

Intel is trying to eventually corner the market on media with "exclusive" content for Viiv.

Of course we all know what "exclusive" means - and it has to do with monopolies and DRM.

"Just say no" to Viiv.

Nice

Finally they've figured it out. Offer a show that no one events wants a torrent of : "Welcome back Kotter".

They couldn't pay me enough to watch that caca again. I don't think even my dad would want to watch Barney Miller let alone Horseshack?

Whattafriggin joke. Way to go AOL.

Your marketing monkeys must really be working overtime to come up with those gems of business models.
