The Vizio is a decent budget brand, but from what I understand they don't have the best record for longevity.
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

on my laptop I have to force it to go to the mobile pages.
Laptops aren't considered mobile devices.

Yes, I know. But I wish it would be easier bringing up mobile pages on a laptop because when I'm on a metered data connection, mobile pages are the best thing for me to check gmail, etc.

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

Yeah, that's the issue I have. Using the Google Reader mobile link helps.

Thanks! The Samsung isn't that much more expensive, but the choices are 40" and 52", a big difference.

I have a 37" LG that works great and my parents are happy with their 32" LG. In my case a computer does the upscaling, but my parent's TV does it's own upscaling and it's fine.
I have no personal experience with any other brand, but I've never heard a bad word about a Samsung.

Ahh. You can get an addon for Firefox that will spoof the user agent. I haven't tried it, but here's one: [link]

Vortex, I have seen that equation but am on the phone and googling would be bothersome. But you are not imagining. I think there's also one to compare your current size tv to what you want to get

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
isn't there some ratio for the size of the TV versus how far away you generally watch it from?
Yes, there is...but I don't remember what it is. t /not helpful
Oh, hey, here's one: [link]
Does Android allow you to do that, or do you have to set each ringtone and volume and vibrate setting manually?
I don't know if you still need this, ita, but DH mentions Setting Profiles Lite by Probeez (there's a paid version with more features, also) and Locale which is $10 but supposed to be really great. He's just starting to use Setting Profiles Lite, himself, should be able to report its actual usefulness before too long, but its theoretical usefulness is pretty nifty - you can set all kinds of conditions for your profiles: time of day, battery fullness, location, calendar keywords, etc.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, thanks, -t. I'm interested to hear his evaluation.
