• I'm not sure about music and movies, but TV could free itself from the torrents very easily, and make money to boot. Offer standard-def downloads with commercials for free, commercial-free shows for a buck each, and high-def, 6.1 sound for $2 each. Then nobody would have to worry about getting their Internet connection disabled or being sued over copyright infringement. Maybe low-rated but still-popular shows could survive using this model.

• Oh dear, Kent is annoyed by people wearing Bluetoth headsets when not specifically speaking on the phone. His comments, mostly that the user is attempting to look important, hark back to the early days of the cell phone. Now THAT'S funny, or at least ironic! I put mine on in the morning and take it off at night. It's light, comfortable and convenient, but only if I wear it. If I take it off and put it in my pocket, as those with tender sensibilities would prefer, then it becomes less convenient, and if I?m driving, downright distracting. Wait, why am I justifying myself to people who are more concerned with appearance over functionality? Sheesh! In reply to: "The downside of hands-free calling"

• I can see the attraction of downloading movies if you don't care about keeping them. However, I prefer to have media that I can stick in a player. I can tote it with me on a trip, I can stop it in mid-play to resume later if I want, I can share it with friends/family. I think it would be tough to do that with a download. Also, I'm not certain that downloaded movies will have the same quality as a DVD, especially when we get to the sheer volume of data contained in a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD.
