For the price and size, the Roku IMO is the best streaming box you can get. It has probably the most content providers and it's easy to use. It may like UPnP or DLNA but you can use channles like RoksBox and stream movies from a simple Web Server or NAS drive. I also think XBOX 360 is a great for streaming because it's simple to use, and provides some advanced capabilities like Voice commands (with kinect).
CRT's are great for playing Light Gun games. I have an old 26" CRT TV in my basement hooked up to my PS2, and it works great with my GunCon lightguns. The light guns they have for LCD are junk and not accurate.
They way I use my phone to improve my health is by using it less, or use it only when I need to. Put the phone down on my desk instead of having it on my all the time, and don't be so dependent on checking emails and facebook.
I remember in the early 80's, computers were considered a novel. No one needed one to run their business, and no one cared about knowing the world's problems every hour of the day. Today, people can't live without email or a cell phone. At my work, employees go nuts if their calendars and emails aren't synching with their smart phones.
It's Bogus, has to be. Last year, HP sold over a million Touch Pads and they still didn't reach 15% market share on tablets. Someone is fudging numbers.
I would really like the ability to dock my phone with my TV, and turn my phone into a HTPC. Only challenges to overcome would be - content providers like (Hulu and Netflix), and a remote (bluetooth?).
Specialized software can be very expensive especially when there is no alternative around. I've seen this happen many times with businesses looking for some special iventory database, or software to run specialized equipment. The problem is that other software companies catch on to these specialized programs and start selling similar software for a much lower cost. It's like tapping into a new idea, charging a crazy amount for it until someone else jumps on, and the price falls down from $10,000 to $100.
A Dongle does no good if hackers crack it, and get around the need for using one. This has been done may times in the past with popular software. Best way to protect your software is to make it dependant on an internet connection with your servers. Have the software store some critical data needed on your servers, and without access to your servers the software doesn't work. This makes it much more complicated for hackers to get around without having to rewrite the entire program.
It seems to me that having pennies around costs much more than they are worth. All the metal and processing used to make them, the human resources needed to handle them, the equipment used to count and store them, etc. etc. If you want to deposite a lot of pennies to the bank, you need to roll them up (another cost), and all that extra time. Pennies get lost, millions of pennies burried in the dirt or in couches.
Seems like a big waste to me.
Fossilize your DNA, and ask your grandkids to someday resurrect you when the technology exists. Who knows, maybe your memories will still be preserved in that DNA too.

Generation Y are experts with Facebook and Twitter, and really good at playing video games, Beyond that, they know absolutely nothing!

It's a good test to see how secure your systems really are. If your PC's are infected, then it's time to recheck your security.

Apple TV still lacks the cpu and gou power of some of todays cellphones. Plus my phone has a camera, perfect for skype on my tv.

What are the effects of too much exposure to light? Should I use a screen filter for my monitor?
An obelisk is a tall pointed structure, the monolith in 2001 was not pointed, it was rectangular.

Just don't piss it off, or you'll end up as road kill.

Well, that maybe somewhat true, Somantos is probably part of the problem. I guess mother nature is getting attacked from every angle.
Some of the rivers in Maine are so poluted, you can't swim in because of contamination. Thanks to the Paper Mills.
