Streaming vs. downloading, VIIV, HD content
I agree that downloading is better, but I can maybe understand why people would stream from Rhapsody if it's cheap and Rhapsody doesn't offer downloading. These days techical considerations have been eclipsed by political/business (DRM) considerations. BTW, I think VIIV is a no-op. Everything you can do on a VIIV PC you can do on a regular Windows PC. VIIV does not provide any particular DRM features, but VIIV includes Windows which has DRM. But all Windows users will be subjected to that DRM, not just VIIV users. I predict that Apple will not touch VIIV. Apple already has a cool brand: the Apple logo. I also disagree about camcorders, which produce 1440x1080i (at best), compared to 1920x1080i from cable.
