On an unrelated note... Does anyone else feel like we should be able to pay for access to content separately from the UI? I know solutions like TiVo allow you to search multiple content providers, but you still have to use a different user interface for each provider. I'd rather have a single UI(don't mind paying for it) and just pay Hulu, Netflix, Vudu, etc for access to their content. I don't need 5 streaming apps, each with it's own quirky UI.
Roku has a pretty good "universal" search... I could see a day when a Roku (or someone) could have a universal UI. I can understand that each streaming service likes to have you at "their" channel, but probably they could all come to some arrangement.
I either didn't know, or had sufficiently forgotten it to make it seem like I didn't know!:)
Truth is, TV streaming services <= 9.99/month are probably fine with me, unless they are utter crap. After that, I start paying attention and asking myself if I really want it. I hope they don't increase the price for a long time after this hike.
"Not really. People actually value college football. For lots of people, that's the only reason they care whether the college exists at all."
Hark! Is that another thing wrong with America that I hear?
I used to be embarrassed by my fellow Americans' worship of football. Then I witnessed soccer fandom.
First : holy cow, what an awful story ( the assault).
Second : "Not as big of a golden parachute as some Wall Street folks..." True, but on the scale where we see that college presidents earn twice as much as CEOs, those CEOs' golden parachutes are probably that their businesses were incorporated and they get to keep their home when they fail.

Let's just hope humans never figure out the Alternate way to Enter...

Honestly, have not heard much about it lately!

Maybe we'll put up a NORTHERN wall to keep all our tech workers in!
For a nominal fee, we'll name it after you.

Preview does no good if you're convinced your write the first time.

Can someone tell me what the new chocolate ration is?

How much of a bounty for drivers that lose their shit and shoot people?

Take four people to the movies, and you can easily move north of $50.00.

The science is settled.

Who is the Star Trek IV punk?

I'm sure his definition of "fair" is "not guilty."
