How does the average PC and Internet user voice their opinion on the Microsoft takeover of Yahoo? I am deeply concerned by past Microsoft business practices and how they affected the PC industry. The taking over of Yahoo by Microsoft decreases the diversity of the web and allows Microsoft to further their governing power over the Internet. This seems to be good for Microsoft's financial position but what about the impact on Internet and PC users worldwide? Can we contact the SEC and government regulators about this and would it make any difference anyway? Is this already a done deal?

How do i play a movie from my pc on a tv? I am trying to watch a movie on my tv that is stored on my pc. I do not have a DVD burner but I do have a CD burner. The movie has already been converted to DiVX but is still too large to fit on a CD-R. I have an S-Video output on my PC and an S-Video input on my TV. While setting up the movie I can see my desktop on the TV so I know it's working. Once I start the movie I can see the movie on my PC but not on my TV, but I can still see my desktop elements on the TV. It is my guess that the video is playing back at over 450 lines of resolution which my PC can display with no problem but my TV can't. How do I drop the resolution of the video down to 450 lines to show on my TV?
