I had just loaded up the chillout channel in Launchcast (via YME) and had decided to check this blog to see if there was any YME news. Lo and behold, I find myself reading words from the guy who's programming my channel! Thanks, I like your work! By the way, if you can pass on any comments about YME, I don't want more features in the future, I just want it to load more quickly and run faster. Hey, just a cool coincidence.

As for not using LAUNCHcast -- it's not about finding the content, it's the unique technology in LAUNCHcast that sorts through the content. Anyone can find loads of content anywhere -- finding relevant content quickly is why LC rocks. We always recommending using what works for you. I was just trying to give people an option they may not have known about. Cheers.

I remember trying to use an extension that changed the user agent identifyer in firefox to trick Launchcast, but that didn't even work. The best solution is to just not use LaunchCast and find the content elsewhere, that's what I've been doing for the past few years. When organizations take this long to get their act together, there's no reason that the consumers should have to jump through frustrating hoops. This is and has been really pathetic and I hope people realize that there are simpler alternatives than screwing around with your browser - find the content elsewhere. Honestly, I wouldn't even know if I was missing any exclusive content because I stopped going to LaunchCast a while ago, for this very reason. This is a pretty bad fix to the problem.

-Does this mean that no one is working on ‘firefox version’ yet (prob more accurately - one that will work in most browsers - web standards or flash, something)

Pretty please make it work natively with Firefox

IETab is a band-aid but I’d rather not corrupt my pristine firefox with IE
