Who Cares if Analog TV Goes Dark?
AVIDJockey writes "Take this with a grain of salt, but earlier this month the Consumer Electronics Association giddily released data showing that of America's 285 million TVs only 12 percent (33.6 million) are used for watching OTA broadcasts. In a further revelation, the CEA's numbers say that approximately 3 million (around 10 percent) aren't used for viewing broadcast television at all. Instead, the electricity gobbled up by these sets is used to play videogames, watch movies on DVD, or view old Jane Fonda exercise tapes."

Who is John Galt
I can't remember the last time I actually watched TV. Oh wait, maybe I can... I think I was in a hotel, and there was nothing else more interesting to do (I hadn't brought a book along or something). So I turned on the tv to something or other. During semesters... neither I nor my gf has a tv, so we pretty much never see any.
SIGSEGV caught, terminating
wait... not that kind of sig.
approximately 3 million ... view old Jane Fonda exercise tapes.
What's the highest slashdot user id, right now?
It's between the right not to own land and the right to only believe in Jesus. More people should read it sometime.
