So, the other day, I was on a random website when I just closed my laptop. when I opened it the next day, the screen was all wierd and pixilated. I restarted, it seemed fine. I ran a virus check with Symantec, and it found an "unknown detection [device]" (can't remember if it was device or software), but it didn't flag it as dangerous. "detection" strikes me a spyware, but Symantec let it go. Should I be worried?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thank you, Tom. I feel much better about my issues now. I'll save that for the next time my people think they suck.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, you know the bit where I can torrent something, throw it at iSquint, add it to iTunes, and then watch it through Apple TV?
FUCKING GREAT.

It converts the xvid format of the torrent into mp4, which is iTunes-friendly.

I could do the hack to add xvid to the Apple TV (just named her Lilith), but I'm going to go with this for now.

Yeah, I have my Tivo rigged so that I can pull all my stuff off of it and it gets transcoded for iPhone, iPod, and Apple TV.
Man did I ever drink the Kool-Aid.
