It turns out that wen we move to Cincinnati we'll be able to get over the air TV again.
We get about 8-10 PBS stations, and I do not lie. (We are non-cable-having people.)
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Nature shows! Nature shows for everyone!
Why on earth anyone would want 3D tv is beyond me. Even for nature shows.

What Jess said.
I bought my 32-inch flat panel off of craigslist 2 years ago for $250 (It was a year old then). Prices have come down so much every year that you could probably find new for not much more these days.

I bought a 19 inch HD from Walmart for 179. More than meets our needs though advertised for "dorms".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow. Look at the free (if you already have their internet service) wi fi Time Warner Cable has set up in LA. There are some stripes in my neighbourhood, and I know I was in one during my errands today, because I saw the SSID flash off my screen.
Neato.

I'm thinking of signing up to be an iOS developer. Has anyone here done this? Any recommendations of good books for iOS development? I've got an idea for a pretty narrow focus app that I'd like to work on.

I've been doing desktop Cocoa app development for years, but haven't done iOS yet beyond "Hello World".
What programming languages do you already know?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I haven't dived in yet myself, but a couple of iOS devs I know highly recommended the Big Nerd Ranch iPhone Programming book: [link]
