I take it from your tone, and from the first line of your response, that you think "design and marketing" is nonsense. I'd like to introduce you to this cool company I heard about called Apple (www.apple.com); learning about them could be a fun and enriching experience for you. I also think you must have missed the comment I was responding to, so I'll excuse what sounds like a case of unbridled pedantry as mere ignorance. Take a minute to read the parent comment and see if you can divine the logical connection between my "straw men" and the context the comment came from. Is it possible that "sensible female spouses" might inhabit a household that already has an entertainment center? I posit that if you can see past your nose, you can see that for people who aren't already burdened with a hoard of physical media they want to continue to consume, Boxee has the potential to stand-in for everything in an entertainment setup except the TV. And yeah, I'll concede that I should have qualified "literally" with "appears to" - I just didn't imagine that anyone here would be douchey enough to quibble :P

I take it from your tone, and from the first line of your response, that you think "design and marketing" is nonsense. No, I'm a big fan of design and find marketing very interesting. What I think is that your comment is full of pseudo-design nonsense with infomercial-style marketing, which is why I put "design and marketing" in quotes. It's not real design and marketing, it's some kind of cheap knockoff. You use vaguely negative terms to describe existing equipment ("legacy", "homogenized amalgamation of units", that new devices don't "fit in" with) and vaguely positive terms to describe what you're promoting ("all-in-one"). Your argument is vapid nonsense, it reads like a Snuggie informercial.
