4. Feature Walk-through

Theater Listings

Once you have a Yahoo account set up with the zip code of your local theater, you can see what's playing , but in order to do this you have to go to the theater listings site at Yahoo and enter the information. I don't understand why this cannot simply be a part of set up or a simple setting. The video trailers were a nice touch, and there is also a short synopsis and a list of cast and characters. I also like the fact that Yahoo users can rate movies, because a critic's view of a movie rarely matches what the general public thinks.

DVD Player

The DVD player was very well done. If the program is open and you insert a DVD, it instantly launches, and asks you if you want to resume were you left off if you stopped part way through the last time you ran it.

Photos

You can view photos both on your computer and through your Yahoo account. An interesting add-in is the Flickr online community, which is similar to a personal blog of photos. Although I don't really understand why you would want to look at other people's photos, there is enough there to spend hours doing it if you are a photographer (or just bored).
