Somebody call Apple! I'm sure they'd love to shut down the OS when the hack is detected.

You don't want to go down the rabbit hole that is the Pioneer player thread, where after talking to a random CSR....he's logic says Pioneer must be releasing a new player. Why? Because they didn't say they whether they were or weren't. Which common sense says CSR's role is not making new electronics announcements...it's answering questions about existing products.

From that he's told other members that Pioneer will be making an announcement on a new player at CES. Would we like a new player?...we wouldn't spend time in the UHD hardware forums if we weren't fans/supporters.

Instead of just using some common sense and saying, "I hope or I wish" they'd release a new player, he continues his bull headed lack of credibility stance of insisting it's going to happen. ....based on absolutely no information from Pioneer saying it's going to happen.

I just look at these things and from what I see I can tell they may just do it. Just wait and see.
