Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm not thrilled with Google reader, but since it is my first reader, I have just accepted limitations. Does anyone use a feed reader they are happier with?
Note: Until phones come with 8 inch screens and and at least 8 inch key boards I will NEVER browse on a phone. I will probably never text on a phone.

Frak! MobileMe web e-mail just frakked me. Instead of deleting the Trash box, it deleted all of my INBOX! I'm really getting sick of the bs interface of MobileMe. Customer support is working to restore my inbox. But that doesn't remove the frustration.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The only other online RSS aggregator I've used, TB, is bloglines.com, and Google reader is better. Fewer lost posts, off the bat.

TB, do you require an online reader?
To me, the only real advantage of an online reader is it keeps track of what I've read on multiple systems. But that's a big-enough advantage to me that I'll probably stick with Google Reader.
And yeah, the only two online readers I know of are Google Reader and Bloglines.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Okay, I just talked to my accountant, and I'm getting a better refund than I thought. My accountant has advised me to buy a flat screen TV. Okay advised is a strong word, but when I mentioned it, he said "well, your accountant approves of that purchase". So, what am I looking for? I know what size I want, but there are other numbers involved. I've done some research and I think I want at least 1080p, but there's 120 and 240Hz, and there's some number of X HDMI.
Any thoughts on brands?
Also, I know that someone mentioned (Zenkitty?) that the non HD channels looked like crap on the new HD tv. So, should I get a slightly less snazzy tv so that there's more parity between HD and non HD channels? HELP!

That's not the experience of most people here, though. Certainly hasn't been mine. And if there were, I'd certainly take the improved HD resolution over a lot of decreased non-HD. Because HD sure is pretty.
As for the rest, I wave my hands at the details. I went for size over resolution, and didn't regret the choice.

Ooh, good question. I'm thinking of upgrading my tv because mine is annoying me. My place is small, so I don't think I'd go above 24", maybe 30 max.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Vortex, there's really not much that beats standing in front of the TV and seeing how it looks. Some of it is just preference.

The opposite, actually - a better quality HDTV will have higher quality upconversion & display of SD material.
I have a Samsung and I love it - the contrast ratio and black levels are very good, and it's got plenty of inputs.
120Hz vs 240Hz isn't hugely important right now, but the 120Hz TVs on the market today won't be able to display the 3D content that everyone and their mother assures us is right around the corner.
