It's optional by the way (need to dl it), so quit yer bitching.
Also his best friend and counsel is Bill Gates so that accounts for something.
Unless you are very young and don't realize it, he is definitely referring to Microsoft's anti-trust issues.
Putting a :) doesn't excuse you from calling people trolls, which is what trolls like to do.
From what I can tell, based on my own experiences/testing, the newer Netflix adjusts the image more often to prevent the buffer from running out (and pausing the video stream which is what the old Netflix used to do).
Nintendo is doing fine and Sony shot their own foot with both the original cost of the PS3 and pedestrian quality of PSN.
This I can guarantee you is a technical oversight or limitation (with regards to server load or bandwidth or such). Sorry but this is a conspiracy that doesn't seem plausible.
You on the other hand seem to have an anti-MS agenda to spread.
Entertainment, like art, is very subjective and making headlines like this is nothing but Gawker's usual sensationalist journalism.
"DONT GIVE UP... YEEEOOOOHHH!!!"
It is, however, weird that Gawker is almost exclusively publishing this story and not TechCrunch or someone bigger (haven't seen anything on TechMeme yet). Maybe they're just awaiting official response from the TWiT network or from Leo himself. But I doubt Gawker is going to put itself on the line reporting garbage about one of the greatest personalities in tech.... we'll just have to wait and see.
Edit: If he denies it to his audience and the media, a lot like politicians do, and it does indeed turn out to be extramarital then that has the potential to mark the end of the TWiT network and his loyal audience.
I always knew that Leo had a wild side to him (like every other red-blooded man does, so let's not pretend). It was especially obvious after he left the corporate broadcasting world and started doing his own thing on TWiT. He was far from family-friendly on most of his TWiT shows and this should not come as an entirely huge surprise to anyone that was paying attention.
I will still consider myself a big fan of Leo after this because I understand the world for what it really is and unfortunately no one is ever really above it no matter how perfect you think your life is.
My only real concern now, if this was indeed extramarital, lies with his wife, their son Henry and their daughter Abby. I hope Leo does the right thing and confronts this controversy head-on with both his audience and his family.
