Yes, my cable bill is rising again, but I should be glad… \u00c2\u00a0At least that’s Time Warner’s belief, why?<\/p>\n
Well, for example:<\/p>\n
New! ABC TV Show Episodes for 99 Cents<\/span> But of course, like many of their products, I can’t use it. \u00c2\u00a0Why? \u00c2\u00a0It’s Windows-centric. \u00c2\u00a0I have to download and install a Roadrunner Media Player, before I can even consider using their service…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Why? \u00c2\u00a0For the same reason that I can’t use the Antivirus software that Time Warner advertises. \u00c2\u00a0Because they simply don’t care. \u00c2\u00a0Time Warner just bundles Computer Associates (McAfee) antivirus package, so instead they could of decided on bundling the McAfee software (or AVAST, etc).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Time Warner doesn’t care about actually providing a service to anyone other than their majority users, nor about giving good service. \u00c2\u00a0They complain about iTunes being an monopoly \/ titan in the Video arena, yet here we go with yet another video store that is ignoring an underserved segment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Why? \u00c2\u00a0Because they have decided to use some off the shelf Microsoft supplied toolkit that will never properly support the Macintosh. \u00c2\u00a0I thank our Net Overlords when Netflix demanded that Silverlight support the Macintosh when they devised their streaming solution… \u00c2\u00a0(Of course, Microsoft has officially killed Silverlight, and now Netflix has to re-engineering, but that has nothing about supporting the Macintosh…)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yes, my cable bill is rising again, but I should be glad… \u00c2\u00a0At least that’s Time Warner’s belief, why?
