So when it crashes (WinCE) does it take down the furnace and A/C with it? You couldn't pay me to have a Microsoft thermostat. In reply to: "To save energy, thermostat becomes mini computer"

Comcast pulling Versus from DirecTV was just the beginning. Get ready for Comcast to raise retrans rates on ALL its new networks to competing carriers. In reply to: "Comcast snags NBC Universal to build $37 billion venture"

Pulling Versus from DirecTV would pale in comparison to what Comcast would do if they owned NBCU and all its subsidiary networks. Just Say No to media consolidation! In reply to: "Comcast poised to get NBC Universal"

Killing the Shuttle program with no replacement on the horizon is just stupid. Really, we're going to rent space from the Russians? Really, that's the plan? Please, reconsider. In reply to: "Shuttle Atlantis takes off on station delivery mission"

Except that recently (or at least within the last several months), the audio tracks for all YouTube music videos were downgraded to 64kbps or less. Makes it really quite pointless. In reply to: "TubeRadio helps you discover great music on YouTube"

Also note that iTunes 9 again breaks media sync with the Palm Pre. However, Palm has a webOS update ready to go and was just waiting to see how Apple broke the sync process so Palm could roll out the fix. Again. In reply to: "Apple's iPod refresh: What you need to know"

I find that Google Maps Traffic commonly underestimates traffic congestion. In my experience, "Green" almost always means "Yellow" and "Yellow" means "Red". In reply to: "Google mobile maps show when to take side streets"

I use Glims, Safari140 and Safari AdBlock ( http://burgersoftware.com/en/safariadblock ). I used to use Inquisitor but a Safari update broke it and rather than fixing it the developer delighted in rudely pointing users to Yahoo. It's since been fixed but I'm sticking with Glims. For video downloading, I use TubeSock ( http://stinkbot.com/Tubesock/ ), which is an application with a bookmarklet, not a Safari plugin. In reply to: "Safari plug-ins that improve your browsing"
