I sorta want one of these...
About $20 for 2GB of RAM, a spare hard drive, load on Mythbuntu and it would be a very nice frontend for the living room TV.

I was stupid and ordered a Roku a few months ago and have never even opened the box. I think I was influenced by Buffista conversation.
Any of you use a Roku? Should I open the box one of these days?
And thank you for the answers about the pdas and alerts for email. The Treo needs to get thrown out the window soon and the phone I am seriously thinking about is the Fuze..

Java, I think you should send it to me.

Google Reader users - is there a way to tell it not to include friends' shared items in the Unread count?

I use Google Reader, but I have no friends. :(
My computer parts arrived today! Sadly, I will have no time to assemble them until next week. A quick question while I'm thinking of it: Thermal paste... Should I use it? My last processor came with a small tube, but this one did not. Should I try and find the three year old tube and use what's leftover?

Really, it didn't come with thermal paste? Is there maybe a pad on the bottom of the heat sink or something? A retail processor should have something.

If it was a boxed Intel processor that includes a heat sink then you should see a thermal pad already on the bottom of the heat sink.

Yeah, there are some paddy looking things on the bottom. So no need for paste, then?

Yep, you should be good.
