Oh AOL... When will you ever learn...
The problem with AOL is that it isn't the Internet. And it tries to be. Releasing this software is a step in the right direction (away from their dial-up software), but it's still wrong. Who wants a crappy, bloated media-center everything-whatsamajig? I know I don't.
It's called OpenRide, and you can take a tour! Complete with talking Flash movie.
One of the worst "features" they're pitching has to be the "Dynasizer". They've even trademarked the name. I mean, really? Dynasizer? Something that dynamically resizes four window panes? Whoa cowboy, step back! Make some room! This is the Dynasizer, know what I'm sayin'?
The frame rate in the movie for demonstrating the Dynasizer was really shitty. I bet you it was filmed on a PC. Frame rates for video will always be shitty on the PC. Like this Flash site for the new Blackberry Pearl. Shitty frame rate! Maybe it's the computer I'm using. But this isn't a sucky computer. What kind of multimedia specs are they requiring of their viewers for a not so sucky experience? I'm at a loss. I wanted to learn more about this new Blackberry, but the site is too slow.
