It tries to load it, gives you the first in news worldwide and then stops, showing no underlying content. Another funny thing is that there are videos over six minutes long but the video feed gets timed-out after five minutes. It is so disappointing that these professionals can't do a better job both on their site and in the million dollar challenge. One would figure that having the brains and computer know-how of Microsoft behind you would assure that cnbc.com would be one of the premier sites on the web and that the stockpicking game would run as smooth as oil. It blows my mind that nothing could be farther from the truth. The videos just straight-up don’t work, either.
