DISQUS

last100: What traditional/new media innovation will NBC’s “billion-dollar lab” lead to?

    You certainly have no idea, Alan. You limit Olympic video streams on your website to those computers having Intel processors. You won't let millions of users with Macs that have PowerPC chips, but not Intels, watch the videos online.

    It's an unnecessary limitation, and from what I can tell, no other news website does this. You even provide for lower-end XP systems.

    This kind of technologically narrow-mindedness (or Micro$oft marketing strategy?) effectively skews your data. Certainly, at least, your numbers at the website are probably much lower than they would have been otherwise.

    Let's hope other media conglomerates don't make the same mistake you did.
