Dana,
GET APPLECARE
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

This was the case I like: [link] The way they show it in the picture, standing up on the case, doesn't really work too well, but I don't really use it that way anyway.

I'm considering getting a Roku. I'm thinking a Roku 1, but could be talked into a Roku 2. Not really seeing the need for a Roku 3 but I'd love to hear from folks who already have any of these models.
Thanks!!!!!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
We used our Roku 1 quite happily for a couple of years, but then it stopped playing well with our internet feed. It kept dropping the connection, and the feed was slow, and getting worse. We got a Sony Media Player, and the connection speed and constancy has been miles better. We're very happy with it.
You can network it with your computer to play vids or do photo slide shows you've downloaded onto your hard drive.
ETA: The Sony can also access your internet connection, YouTube, Amazon video, VUDU, Hulu, and a bunch of other channels. The Roku doesn't have that capability.

I have the Roku3...and it does have You Tube, Amazon Prime, and Hulu Plus? I don't know what VUDU is though.
I just got it recently and have so far pretty much only used it to watch Veronica Mars, but it's working well.

So my brother is paying me to update his business' website, which has lingered in obscurity for the last dozen years. My SIL re-established it on GoDaddy with the same terrible text and obsolete photos that he had on the old site, but it needs a complete refresher.
I have poked about enough to know that I LOATHE the GoDaddy interface: it's cluttered, non-intuitive, and damned annoying. And I've heard enough to know that they also have lousy customer service.
So does anyone have any recommendations for a commercial hosting service for a small business? One that provides basic design templates and an easy interface for updating content? This won't ever be a site with a lot of traffic, but it needs to be easy to maintain and will need to have an option for a password-protected section of the site for some of the content.
Suggestions?

I have a fancy Sony DVD player that is supposed to connect with Netflix and Hulu but it has never connected for me. I've followed all the instructions to just hit a wall.
Big picture is I want to be able to get mlb.tv in my room. I know if I get a newer TIVO I can get that but I don't want to pay for another lifetime service.

You can get mlb.tv through the Roku. I'd suggest a Roku 2, there's some minor differences in the Roku 2 and 3, mostly the Roku 3 is faster, has a sd slot on it, and you can pair a smart phone or tablet with the 3 and it has YouTube, the other versions don't. But Roku plans to add YouTube to Roku 2 at some point.
You can get Netflix, AMazon Prime, Vudu, NHL, PBS and tons of other stuff with the Roku.
