PVR's Head-to-Head: MythTV vs. Microsoft MCE 327
asciimonster writes "AnandTech has completed its second review of set-top box Personal Video Recorders. After checking out the Linux-based MythTV, previously covered here on slashdot, they compared it to Microsoft's Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004.
'Our analysis has proved that though Media Center Edition 2004 is a boxed package that is easy to set up and configure, it looks amazingly beautiful, has great features such as On-Demand content, and is fully supported by Microsoft. However, for the enthusiast, MythTV takes the gold for its greater support for a variety of hardware and software codecs.'"

It's official. I'm the last surviving human who knows how to use an apostrophe properly.

"PVR's Head-to-Head: MythTV vs. Microsoft MCE"
Unless this title means to refer to a Head-to-Head posessed by a single PVR, or even by the class of objects known as PVR (both of which wouldn't make much sense in this context), there shouldn't be an apostrophe in that title. We're talking multiple PVRs -- posessiveness doesn't come into it.
Of course, all this is kind of pedantic. Language rules like these were semi-arbitrarily decided upon two or three hundred years ago. We all know from context what the author of the submission meant. It's a rare circumstance when there's actually any ambiguity in context. Consider that "there," "their," and "they're" are pronounced exactly the same as each other, but we almost never need disambiguation when we speak.

Obviously drunk. And not only will he wake up in the morning with a DRM'd DVR, but the woman sleeping on his arm will be really ugly.
