Apparently to watch the video clips on grammy.com you need a Windows PC. Has anyone figured out how to circumvent the "advanced technology". I want to see the Outkast performance from last night's awards. I've already tried changing the user agent in Safari to IE6.

It appears that they need Windows Media Player 9. What did you expect when you saw the clips are hosted by msn.com?

It seems they are checking the Operating System, not the user agent... can't believe they do this... hell why? We have WMP 9 on Mac, but they require you to run WIndows....

You may want to grab the URLs of the videos on a windows box, and then open them directly in WMP on the Mac...

I'm not sure if they're the same clips as the ones linked off the main page. If they are, I could care less as there's no clips from the awards show performances.

I am guessing you are a republican or right wing.

I have this hypotheses that all right wing people write "I couldn't care less" wrong, "I could care less".
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

don't be such a twit. Say something helpful or don't post at all. The polwar forum is where you should check your wankeriffic attitude.
