Like 8 AM on the east coast and 5 AM on the west? It not really a technology thing.

live would've been 7:30am EDT and 4:30am PDT , hardly not a good time to get ratings.

I watched all the live HD feeds BOB (Beijing Olympic Broadcaster ???) from Beijing on satellite in HD was awesome,

NO Commentating and NO Commercials, it was just like being there, I watched a lot more of the olympics this time than I ever did before.

All I can say is womens gymnastics never looked so good :rolleyes:

So what?

I WOULD Watch it! Hell... time mean nothing to me!

Many people would also watch it if it's LIVE! Even at these hours!

Like I said, if that time is inconvient (Which I can understand), then just do an Encore at Primetime, like there is anything else better to show on TV anyways? The OC and CC probably BEST thing to watch on TV now days!

...The OC? Are you female?

Again, do an Encore at Primetime again. Problem about ratings... = Solved

Except they can probably get better ratings by showing normal morning programming that people are used to and just waiting til primetime to show the Olympics. You're just being selfish.

"NO Commentating and NO Commercials" Best way to watch sports on TV (Y) Lucky you.

There will be a bid for 2012 and I think NBC will win, I think Fox and CBS were in the last bid.

"The OC and CC probably BEST thing to watch on TV now days!" :x

JediXAngel I dont know what to say...

I will say NBC did good with http://www.nbcolympics.com/. The silverlight video was good even with my connection.

Sorry if I spoilt things for anyone I honestly thought it was live all around the world at once!

Dont even worry, everything about the olympics have been on the front pages of any major news website before its even on TV lol. I should have changed my home page (Yahoo) but im lazy. Hell even if i went to NBC website to wath live video they will have results for an even that hasnt been showed on TV.

The Office? How I Met Your Mother? Top Gear? It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia? Scrubs?

Even so (But I don't watch them myself) NONE of them air in the Morning anyway.

Mostly, Primetime are just filled with repeats of these shows during the summer, anyhow.

yeah i was noting that to my mom and sis..he guy was dancing! i thought that was in bad taste. it's like they didn't REALLY want a person in a wheelchair to represent.

BTW i'm officially announcing these Olympics as a non-event because the fuwa were completely discarded for no reason. the fuwa have always been, are and always will be a part of the Beijing Olympics and i will troll anyone who says otherwise till kingdom come.

I really enjoyed these Olympics. I didn't really plan on watching much of them, but I could hardly pull myself away from the TV the entire time.

The one thing I hate about the Olympics though is that now we have to wait another four years :(

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
