Yeah, I'm with you on this one. It does seem too good to be true (at least by the looks of that website)

Does anyone have any experience with satellite TV over the Internet? It seems too good to be true...http://www.watchtvonpc.org/ -----Original Message-----From: Teemu Pyyluoma <teme17@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Mar 28, 2007 6:58 AM To: lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: Life MagazineAndreas, as usual, is wrong in an interesting way. Which is way better than being right in a boring way.The demise of newspapers and magazines is accelerating.To this, you can add the demise of the web. Yep, the web. Remember the web?I met with Yahoo a few weeks ago in LA and they told me that the UK, more people use Yahooon PDAs than with desktop computers. Yahoo and others are retooling their websites so these are accessible via PDAs. That means... no more web design that makes sense on a large screen. High resolution photos, lots of graphics, etc., is out due to the bandwidth limitsfor PDAs. <I'd call it the return of web, not demise. The original point of HTML was device independence. Instead of formatting text to say certain size of paper like pdf, a markup language specifies the structure and lets the device format it for the screen. Which is handy given that screens range from 34" TVs to PDAs. This is a bad thing for bells-and-whistles web design. Which in itself is a good thing. More content, less gimmicks.Someone, might have been Andreas, summed up blogs as what web was supposed to be before we got carried away with all the eye candy. Same with PDA/Mobile sites.Cheers, Teemu Helsinki, Finland ____________________________________________________________________________________ We won't tell.
