Spreadsheets have been around for a long time; there are cuneiform tablets still around that showed how many cattle somebody had. I've got 50-year old reports in my office that have spreadsheets of financial ratios. The only difference now is that they're made on computers. Before a spreadsheet by itself can be blamed for anything, it will need to have at least as many cells as the human brain.
If I'm at home watching TV, an Amber Alert isn't going to help anyone. Amber Alerts are more useful on digital roadway signs. If I'm at home watching TV when a plane crashes, I'll consider myself lucky, unless the plane crashes into my house...in which case I didn't need the TV to tell me. In fact, the TV might not even be working if that happens.
I second this...I set one of these up at my gf's parent's house this past weekend. It basically functions like a Dish Network satellite receiver, but for OTA broadcasts, complete with program guide and event timers. Nice little box.
Islamic people come in different colors. My cousin is married to a Muslim who's pasty eastern European. One of my friends from high school as a black Muslim and another was an Afghan Muslim (not sure if that's arabic or not).
Logitech makes really good mice and I like my diNovo keyboard. But, the Setpoint software I had to install is full of fail. I have a 16 meg process running right now in XP to supposedly manage my keyboard and mouse (Logitech MX Laser). To make things worse, although they are bluetooth devices and my laptop has perfectly functional bluetooth, the damn things only work if I plug in Logitech's bluetooth USB key. This combination of bloated software and redundant dongle result in an interruption in typing too often, or a keypress will get "stuck" and the BT dongle will keep feeding my computer the same keypress until I unplug it.
This is inexcusable for something that cost close to $200.
I really wish there was alternative, lightweight software that would let me use these devices with my built-in bluetooth without the driver bloat.
I'm another happy customer. If you run XBMC on Apple TV, you can use PlayOn to watch Hulu. Netflix technically works, but it chokes to due to Apple TV's hardware.
You can already install XBMC on AppleTV. I find it much more usable and snappier than Boxee, which seems...boxy on the ATV compared to XBMC. If you have the PlayOn DLNA server (one-time $30 fee) installed on a Windows PC, you can stream Hulu to XBMC on your AppleTV (or 360 or PS3, etc.).
My number 1 gripe about Boxee...it insists on sharing your viewing habits with people on your "friends" list.
I don't know how viable Netflix is on AppleTV...I've streamed Netflix to it using PlayOn on my Windows desktop and both XBMC and Boxee on the ATV. The ATV chokes on Netflix content, but does ok with Hulu most of the time.
PlayOn is only a one-time fee of $30...even if Netflix is supported on the 360, you can think of it as a one-time fee to get Hulu and CBS streaming to your 360. PlayOn is also useful if you have a Popcorn Hour set-top box.

Kill her with fire!!!
Except in Communist Cuba, snipe hunts you!
I was such a fan of the show I ended up visiting Nantucket. I spent a lot of time at the Brotherhood.

"no intention of watching shows anymore."
"I'd rather buy DVDs/BluRay or rent new stuff from Netflix, etc."
But you're not going to *watch* them, right?

Miro could replace iTunes if it offered streaming capability.

When I was flying back home after visiting a client, I ran towards the men's room at the Cleveland airport and set off an explosion.
THIS.

Oh, the palatal-velar fricative. Of course! Thanks, that explains it!
That's because it's meant to be an elegant weapon for a time more civilized than ours.
No, Netflix isn't a broadcaster. The FCC only has jurisdiction over radio waves.

Wow, 420 just took on a whole new significance!
Shut...down...EVERYTHING.
Speak for yourself.

You only have to have a plan of $10/mo or higher for Netflix streaming, not $20.
Clearly, they are speed lines to make the Mac even snappier!
He'll probably make you his girlfriend. Or are you talking about the other kind of bear?
Tell that to the Germans and the Japanese, both of which were close to finishing their bombs. We were lucky to win the race.
