I can just picture the countless houses around the nation burning down because of the latest and greatest worm.:-) I love technology and it's uses but there is a rationale that says there can, in fact, be too much of a good thing. All I need is the next door neighbor kid getting mad at me, hacking my fridge and boiling my beer and melting my ice cream.
Please explain to me why a fridge or an oven needs an IP. I can see why standard phones will eventually join the VOIP ranks but I can't for the life of me think of a reason you would need to communitcate with your fridge. Mine only does two things. It freezes shit and it keeps other stuff cool. It doesn't store my Mp3 collection nor is there a need for it to do so.
I agree with you on this one. I've spent the last 3-4 years of my TV viewing experience boffed up because of the budgets it takes to produce some american idol piece of trash, and the amount of redneck hilbillies that have cable. All the good shows go away. Then you get stuff like the Soprano's that should of been killed 4 years ago. Some of the best shows around have been lost to crap.
Deadwood (one of the best shows on TV, ever)
Thief (absolutely awesome, but it only lasted 6 episodes)
Firefly (I can't believe they killed off the characters they did in Serenity)
There is hope though. A few really good shows have made it by the idiot conglomerate and there is some new ones coming.
John from Cincinatti (great show especially if you are at all interested in existentialism)
Weeds
Dexter
and I forget the name of it but SciFi has a good one coming out to replace SG-1 (Which stopped being good about 2 seasons before O'Neill (macguyver) left)

I must be stealing tv programs with my DVR then too.
I'm buying stock in websense tonight. Because if they think they can control it then the answer is obviously websense.
