I don’t have that much of a preference, but if video is too little and shoved all the way to the right side, it can look like an ad.

Well i assume this works for PCs only, because the app has been loading forever on my Mac Pro.

I personally hate ads that interfere with the content. Or players that lock you out for selecting what video will play next when a ad is playing. Not exactly the best user experience.

Just out of curiosity, what do you guys refer, video n the left or right of the playlist navigation? I’ve been in one of those discussions when I worked on Toonami Jetstream and CN Video and there were mixed comments.

blah,

it be nice if you actually used your real name and not hide. your feedback is valuable and we want to be able to know “the person” who is unhappy with us.

because we are saying it the way we see it. We like some features – search and relevance – but not the layout.

You can choose to disagree – and we respect that. After all, what is the point of a conversation where we all agree.

perhaps, it would be nice if you went and read old posts where we took Apple and Google to task.

Oh wait, if such minor goofups were done by Google and Apple whom Om worships .. I can imagine Om writing “we are sure these are but minor oversights but the whole idea is so forward thinking, Google amazes me, Apple makes me worship them”. F*ck!

Om, about time you became unbiased or else you’d lose many many readers of your blogs. DONT like MSFT if you wish to, but dont write biased pieces and influence your team to do so!

Ah! Its soooo f*cking irritating this fanboyism!

All but stinks deep of fanboyism! You gotta point out whats not there, but fail to atleast acknowledge once the extensively categorized content that IS available?

You mention dated editorial picks but right there are trailers of movies currently playing that are recent — no f*cking mention.

It is indeed heartening to see your biased fanboy-stricken team get blown right and left by folks, check out responses on anti-Halo3 piece by Wagner. I bet if you had traffic like that for Newteevee, you’d see similar blasting of your f*cking biased writing.

Suck Apple’s and Google’s *****, smell their farts if you please but spare us the biased postings, please?
