Did OTT just start this year?  It's had some great stuff this season.  Really interesting.   [thumbsup]

nope.  but he/they (obviously) used the crap AMA situation this year as a reason to improve the site and coverage.  doing a great job.

no...the best was Toseland's whale not work so good for him....or Colin's outright "what a load of crap"...of course, I just think Colin is a great real personality who speaks his mind and that's why that was even funnier, because it was possibly unscripted ( okay, maybe not).

Jonathan Green talks to Ben after Nurburgring:

"18 points is nothing in this series  .... but the next three tracks i know... "      :)

and he sorta clarifies "foresees".  but not completely.

Those in-depth interviews (even the Mladin ones that ducpainter hates) are always really interesting for all the tech tidbits.  I love OTT.

Good stuff indeed.  :)

Sad to see Skype is still as F'd up as it was when I used it 4 years ago.  :P

skype gets confused if you say too much at once.  you kinda need to speak like you're having an IM convo.

and yeah.. i always love the fact that Dave asks seemingly simple questions that uncover stuff you otherwise don't hear about.  Very interesting stuff, at that.

[thumbsup] that they're gonna do this after every round!

it, along with other video conferencing apps, are just susceptible to network congestion/delays. unless you have some decent end-to-end QoS, you're really not going to be able to work around that.

what i find interesting is that it almost always catches the whole conversation and plays it back quickly in order to catch up.
