How come kids pick up these things so quick. My 3 year old can turn on the TIVO and pick his shows with no problem, but his grandparents don't even try? I think its a matter of taking the 10 min's to listen, play with the functions or heaven forbid go thru the manual.
I think that Micosoft will eventually come out with a fully supported linux distro and then tout open source as the best thing ever. (MS linux makes me shutter) In the process they will continue to sell their other programs and also push their hardware stuff.
All,
I read 'The promise of sleep' by William C. Dement and it was interesting. It is all about sleep. He is probably the worlds foremost athority on the subject. He basicly says that sleep deprevation is one of the biggest health risks in the country.
The way he puts it is that people need aprox. 8 hours of sleep a day and anything below that is added up night after night (he calls it sleep debt) and until you 'make it up' you are not at 100%. It is full of interesting tid bits and backed up by studys he has done for many years.
The average person has trouble using a remote. They will still watch comercials beacause they will have no clue how to do this and they will not even care.

If your kid was crying or needed attention during the commercial would he be an accesory to the Theft?
