A number of desublimations concerning the role of the participant as artist exist. The subject is interpolated into a subcapitalist modernism that includes consciousness as a whole.
HUH
BEST ARTICLE I’VE SEEN ON AOL. JUST SHOW THE PICTURE AND SHUT THA F UP.
Will you translate “THAT” TO ENGLISH ?????
Only an insecure idiot would spit out words like this to act superior.
Don’t mind, he’s just trying to impress us with his astounding knowledge of Ghost in the Shell monologs.
Lee do you come with double “A” batteries ?
As a former English professor, I wonder if you used a thesaurus….or you are actually – gasp -
coversent in the language!? Find any spelling erors? LOL Jane B.
Curious ? What are the errors in what lee said ?

If one can juxtapose the multiple paridigms then the contextual dynamics of the pseudo-intellectulisms are, as they say, obvious to the casual observer. Q.E.D.
Well said. ROFLMAO!!
Hahahahahha! Either you are a total pompous @$$$hole or this is hilarious (although misplaced).
Roku is the best thing ever made — BUT — Netflix sucks with all it’s old movies. Netflix needs to start streaming better movies or Roku will fail.
I love this , So does My boyfriend .he is almost 11year older than me .i met him via agegapsin gles.c’om a nice place for seeking age le ss love.which gives you a chance to make your life better and open opportunities for you to meet the attractive young girls and treat you like a king. Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends.. Just love it
Please clue me in. What does the girl mean by talking about her boyfriend being much older than she is?
It means that she (or maybe he) is shil for a website:
shill /ʃɪl/ Show Spelled
[shil] Show IPA
Slang .
–noun
1. a person who poses as a customer in order to decoy others into participating, as at a gambling house, auction, confidence game, etc.
Don’t ya just love when couples have one of those cute stories about how they met? djfgj99272bf3, what a beautiful story!!! People say that romance is dead, but, wow!!! So tell us, do you have to manually inflate him, or is he stuffed with memory foam? I’m really dying to hear the rest of your story.
lol. You’re good. Enter a comedy club contest and i’ll vote for you
Why, thank you Marv. You’re a good guy, and an outstanding judge of talent.
LOL…I’m visualizing the inflatable automatic pilot in the movie, Airplane. Oops, sorry….that movie may be too old for some people to watch.
Nope, Richie – I’m with ya. The one that smoked after sex, right? LMAO. And according to djfgj99272bf3, he’s older than her, so the age may be about right too.
And don’t call me Shirley.
I know I said this before, but I’m afraid djfgj99272bf3 didn’t see it and I’m really dying for an answer.

It would be so nice if AOL would do some damned thing to keep the spammer scum off of these comment boards. Take those scams and stuff them very securly up your ass!
hole.
Yeah, right. Would you step aside, please. We’re kinds busy here. Thanks.
You have to be a virgin!
Lee, the first rule of communication is – know your audience and speak at their level – don’t talk up or down to them – they will not be impressed, in fact they won’t even be listening.
Exactly what I was thinking. But I may have had subliminal persuasion during my thought process so maybe what I was thinking wasn’t valid because of the subliminal contamination. I think!!!!
A kid I knew in High School used language like that once in chemisty class….next day he was in the koo-koo-bin!
You’re joking, right?
Must be one of those harvard grads. Like the ones that goes around saying: “I’s is a harverd gadgeate”.
oswald bates goes cybergeek!
Where is the content of this article?!?
Yes, where is the content???? Not too good a showing for a “technology” item for the future, is it?
GREAT ARTICLE
So I dropped into aol to cancel my subscription cause I haven’t used it in months, but then i got distracted by this High Tech article here….. Yup still gonna cancel.
I’m considering the unit, why don’t you like it
Odd, AOL is free….lol Unless you are still using dial up. If you are then you have other issues sir.
Not all aol plans are free.
Their support system sucks and so does their website ordering system. Also you have to talk to Bollywood actors that can’t make decisions about service. Finally got my order cancelled faxing Roku directly. Products are only as good as their support and being able to understand people. Even their phone tree for the US Corp is a joke!
I ordered mine online with no issues, got it quick and installed easily. I must be a genius….
lol bollywood
YOU CAN FIND STREAMING BOXES CHEAP ON 42ND ST. NYC LOL
CAN PROBABLY FIND THEM ON EBAY BY NAW OR FOR SURE BY NEXT WEEK LOL AND CHEAP AS WELL BUT HOW IS THE WARRANTEE.
ALLEN I GUESS MY COMMENT WENT OVER YOUR HEAD. LOL, READ IT AGAIN ALIL SLOWER. HAHAHA GET IT ?????
Didn’t bother with the article on Roku… of course I couldn’t find one! But – the remarks made up for it. You all need your own talk show. Very funny!
Great…a 60 second commercial for Roku (which I already have) preceded by a 30 second ad for Verizon…..what a waste of time!
AOL IS NOT FREE IF YOU USE THEM AS YOUR MAIN BROWSER AND NOT AN ADD IN THROUGH INTERNET EXPLORER.
Larry, even if you use their internet gateeway AOL is still free.
what is Roku
I’m with cgold. Just what the hell is Roku anyway?
Larry…AOL has been free for years as long as they are not your ISP…has nothing to do with browsers…
hmm. I must be a super hacker or sumthin. Y’all talkin bout it not free and all that high falutin yankee talk. But this simple ol’ redneck has been gettin AOL for free for years, and perfectly legal.
And was originally a dial up customer.
AOL is free if’n y’all know what your doin. Heck it should be ‘cuse it is the most infuruatin’ software I have ever seen. Hmm maybe Vista was its cousin, its southern cousin. Well Yall keep it up as Yur a whole lot better than Jay.
stop assuming everyone loves video presentations…give us text info.
I second that! I HATE video. What a waste of time. Give me an article I can scan and read if I find it’s of interest.
AMEN!
Aol for many is their isp and aol has its own browser. fyi. and not free. Aol mail is free and not the same format at aol browser with aol as your isp. I actually loved the mail. i hate web based mail. now i have high speed so cancelled aol as my isp, but still have the account and mail now free, but free means no tech support. if u want to be able to call them for a problem, its 4.95 a mo.
Why would any person need AOL tech support?
“AOL” and “Tech Support” cannot be accurately used in the same sentence … fail!
The browser is free, as long as you don’t use the dial-up as your isp. I have used AOL since they started, and many times decided to quit using the browser, but came back each time, although I use Verizon dsl as my isp, because I have had AOL for so many years, and I am so used to using it. Re the snide remark concerning dial up vs cable, sattelite, or dsl, I have lived in many places where there is only dial up, because the phone lines are not up to dsl, and there is no sattilite view of the sky due to the forests I have lived in which did not provide an unobstructed view of the sky. I suppose that you can consider me an uninformed user, since I have only used computers since 1958, and did not build my own 8 bit until 1970.
So… although I’m not much interested in the product, I loved the comments. Some are outright rude, and some are hilarious!
I will say honestly, some of you really cracked me up, and some of you need to take a chill pill.
Roku…. Rotus Brossum….???
Roku is the best thing ever made — BUT — Netflix sucks with all it’s old movies. Netflix needs to start streaming better movies or Roku will fail.
Several months ago when visiting Best Buy for a new Ble Ray DVD player, the salesman said it also has Netflix capability. I had no idea what he meant but when taking it home, my husband connected it to our Internet router and opened an account with Netflix. Wow what a surprise with the quaility and number of availabe movies. We canceled our Comcast movie packages and saved over $100 a month since Netflix is only $9 a month which includes mailed movies and unlimited streaming. The best feature of all is being able to choose movies which our children can watch and also to avoid those terrible movies meant for Obama type people.
What exactly do you mean by Obama type people??? Hopefully that refers to being college educated, well spoken, and motivated to succed despite nay sayers and detractors. That is what I would call an Obama type person.
Apparently, Alice has an affinity for shoe leather…
What an ignorant thing to write.
I thought for once in my life I could get through a whole comment board without having to read a slam on Obama. Dream on!
Well I didn’t watch the video but overall I have to say I enjoyed this page.

Its crap people will sell anything
Ah, Alice. Whats the matter Tucson not enough for you? If people keep hating like you we will destroy the greatest nation ever created.
Like the president, you are apparently against hate speech? Like the president, why would you associate the mindless act of a madman with politics? Are you trying to stir up some hate? Why?
I Bet Alice is one of those people that believe blacks should’t be in the white house it’s only for the rich white folks. I would hate to meet her kids when they grow up hate is tought not a learned response so Alice get your head out of your a** and start respecting other people.
BIGGOT!
So…we’ll start with you as an example, then?
Need written text since my video doesn’t work.
Sometime today please, since I never heard of Roku.
Video was useless! What the hell does your product do other than having a moron walk around with a microphone! what are features and benefits to consumer? Come back when you have a clue!!! LMFAO
roku is a little box that connects to the internet via ethernet or wireless you connect it to your tv and watch streaming video. netflix has a huge library of movies you can watch unlimited on your computer or through the Roku, on your tv (if you have a netflix subscription). Roku also accesses amazon video, where you can rent movies and hulu plus, which is another subscription service to watch tv shows. It is awesome! I bought one for $60. there’s a bunch of other “channels” on the roku but amazon and netflix are my main go-to’s
Hey rey, what she meant by BO types is that he is a socialist SOB who tried to destroy our nation with his far left agenda and idealogies, I can only assume you to are of that twisted frame of mind.
AOL, getting up to 7 screen names, all free as long as you have internet via another source (cable etc). If you want tech support (not) or their so called web security protection, then you have to pay at least 4.95mnth. I have had AOL for about 3 years or so free so I can’t complain too much.
Obama type people ? You mean American ? Maybe Alice is from Canada ehh.. Don’t be so quick to judge poor Alice. Perhaps that’s what she meant… yeah right.
Very impressive piece of technology..
Now if I only knew what is does.?
this
I agree about netflix. Everytime I want a movie I find it is only offered as a dvd or not at all. I sure hope they improve soon.
What is it? I see a picture, I hear some dude talk about a box sitting over there, but no content. What’s up with the no article articles on here concerning the CES. This stinks.
I bought a “roku” in hopes of someday replacing the satelite service I presently use …after the trial sub for “netflix” and hulu plus, neither lived up to their respective hypes. Great idea …. just not up to par.
The content with which the juxtaposed minion is displaced favorably does not coincide accidentally with the device in use as one would expect major delays in refabrication artistry and lubricating tendencies. This, and some of the other posts above are examples of word salad and are a major symptom of schizopherenia.
We have no idea what this is about?? Nice interviewing skills! I saw this on GlowShopper.com for 30% off and Amazon.com for 30% off, but what the heck does it do?
Hollywood has run out of ideas and television has no future other than as a device for nostalgia. Actually, science and the human race have run out of ideas, period…the laws of physics have defeated intelligence and the notion of an AI singularity is superfluous. Human civilization is doomed to rotting out its existence on planet Earth, with nothing left to do except to endlessly re-invent the wheel until extinction.
The thing about this thing is that the thing is really the thing that was supposed to be the thing, and we saw thing do its thing, then the thing was the working thing that made the thing the thing. So, turns out this thing is the real thing.
Can’t believe AOL let published this non-story with so many good ones out there from CES.
Sounds like MOST are NUTS here! You go from the Roku to dating advertising to Netflix to racisim! No wonder we are in the mess we’re in in the world!
I have read Lee’s comments a few times now. This is my interpretation of what he/she said. “Most of us can, but some of us shouldn’t. To be analogous, it’s kinda’ like what some think about procreation. Night, ya’ll.
bazinga!
Huh? $60 and all it does is stream Netflix? I have a Sony Blu Ray I bought at Costco for $100 that does that, AND streams Blockbuster AND Yahoo AND YouTube AND a dozen more sites, plus it **GASP** plays blu rays and DVDs. So what is the big deal with this Roku thing that warrants such a call out? How silly!
I bought a “similar” unit at Radio Shack and it was incapable of connecting to most free video sites such as Annenberg Media, UCTV, Crackle, most others. Hopefully Roku has overcome this limitation
What Charles said… 100%!
It’s those things that are the real things instead of the things that aren’t the real things but are the things that only pretend to be real we gotta look out for — like “new Coke,” yaknow?!?
And the only thing that’s impossible is for something to be impossible, but then if that’s imposssible, then how is anything impossible?
And everything I just said makes A LOT MORE SENSE than the totally uniteligible rambling I heard on the ultra-low-quality video from CES AOL deemed so necessary to make one of its headlines of the day. Reckon we’ll actually have to GOOGLE “Roku” to actually find something substantial out about it, huh?
Once again, AOL delivers… NADA!
The headline on aol said, a new gadget will change tv forever. When clicking on to this there is no explanation of what this is, just the name roku. Comments were also helpful, one lady talks about a dateing service, others argue with each other, several about Obama. Is this what roku is?
Yes. It is.
