Yeah, I'm not a knee-jerk MS hater, I'm just a happy Firefox user. Like alot of people I suspect. Don't know enough about why they don't support Firefox, but I'm not going to switch from a favored browser to view the site, so I guess I'll skip for now.

Ah c'mon, it's not a two-minute video, it's a bunch of full length episodes. Surely you can handle one click over to IE before you hang out on one page for an hour.

Woot, Prince of Tennis dub!

It's better than I thought it would be (though the mis-pronounced names and Sakuno's voice made me wince). Viz's dubs are getting better and better.

Yeah, I completely respect that comment. But, well, I could also click somewhere else with that tiny incremental span of time and I'm sure there are marketing people who watch this type of dialogue, so why not mention the fact that it's slightly a bother. Smile

And there was also my initial "why is that the case?" moment too which might eventually get answered by someone too.

Hm, now that is a problem. I guess it's because they're using Windows Media Player. =/

Yeah a lot of website videos cannot be viewed by Mac users.

Adultswim.com should also be inaccesible to mac users.

Best thing you could do is contact the companies and ask for them to host a site version for mac users.

I noticed on the Jetstream quite a bit of lag I guess from the servers being setup. Going to be a week or more before the lag goes away also I dislike the show being divided into five minute or less chuncks.

They are clearly trying to limit there bandwidth. If this becomes popular that will change. So if you like this sort of thing, I would watch the EPs you want, and still click on the ones you don't, even if you don't watch them, let them play. They won't increase the availability until they see a demand(Mac users, people who live outside the U.S.). Bandwidth can be pricey.

I imagine once the site becomes official, advertising will be inserted. Just keep in mind, it's free!

Uh, no, WMP works on both PC AND Mac. Kinda like how you can use AIM even if you don't have AOL.

It would be nice to let the videos be viewable for non-US residents. Oh, well.
