So what happened?

I mellowed out a bit.
Those comments are still an accurate reflection of my take on this; I just wanted to reinsert some humility.
If I can sum it up: I think Amazon upped the ante with a device that offers a palpable hardware advantage with comparable content at a similar price, which I think spells trouble for the Roku. I realize there's more to it than that, and will be watching as things unfold.
