] Comcast is saying that 90% of their customers (millions
] of people) will have access to this Motorola box by the
] end of next year, and this device will serve both HDTV
] and DVR functionality. The box looks like it can pause,
] rewind, and fast forward both regular TV and HDTV
] siganls, though recording appears to be confined to an
] analog MPEG encoder and I would assume DVR functionality
] will be limited to regular TV, not HDTV. The box has more
] outputs than I think anyone knows what to do with, so
] it'll be interesting to see how the hacking community
] takes to this box. It only has one tuner and records at
] one set compression level, so hopefully it'll be able to
] store signals digitally instead of having to recompress
] everything.

] company hopes a new low-cost strategy will answer. For
] the first time, the company is turning to its website,
] www.ducati.com, to gather customer feedback. Ducati hopes
] to both improve on the designs, as well as get detailed
] information on what the customer is looking for - even
] how much they would pay - before the bikes go into
] production. Says Michael Lock, CEO of Ducati North
] America: "Ducati is very much interested in hearing
] what people think before we bring this kind of machines
] to market. And we've got to be open to changing
] things they don't like." On the following
