  1. RT @laughingsquid: "BREAKING NEWS: there are people at the airport trying to fly somewhere. Let's hope some news outlet sends a camerama ...
  2. OMG. via @Glinner - the funniest thing I've seen in ages: http://is.gd/53rXi
  3. When I need a peripheral with an insane degree of packaging, Logitech is my go-to provider.
  4. @chrisindallas Agreed; and Tivo fees+cablecard rent is cheaper. Still have the Tivo buy, but the interface and connectivity is way better.
  5. @chrisindallas FIOS install was painless, 20 min or so but get the Tivo 1-2 days earlier so you can have guided setup done b4 FIOS installer
  6. @chrisindallas The reason for 1M or 2S is so that it can decode/record two programs simultaneously.
  7. @chrisindallas You want to ask for an "M" (multistream) card. TivoHD takes 1 M or 2 S cards, rental on each is the same (so 1 M is cheaper)
  8. @chrisindallas Not terrible; called them and scheduled them to get the STBs and bring the Cablecards; rental on the Cablecards is $4/mo
  9. @chrisindallas The TivoHD hooks to the same coax the FIOS STB used; it uses a cablecard to decode it -- no IR channel switching.
  10. FIOS TV minus FIOS set top box plus cablecard plus TivoHD = Win. Bonus, no FIOS STB, no need for wonky Verizon coax router. Yay!
  11. @qikipedia Great news about Series G -- any chance it'll be in HD?
  12. @danielthepoet vendors are still selling extra-capacity aftermarket batteries, etc. The only thing that disappeared is the latch, really.
  13. @danielthepoet Also, user replacement still "do-able" -- about on-par with replacing HD on the unibodies. Just not an on-the-fly thing.
  14. @danielthepoet ...business partner recently took an out-of-care 'book to them that had a warped battery. They replaced it free, no questions
  15. @danielthepoet Better be for at least the life of the warranty + applecare. They've always been fairly good about that tho.
  16. @danielthepoet Can't explain the reasoning, but had early battery failure in a 15" unibody MBP. 10 minutes at the Genius bar, new battery.
  17. @pulchrapunicea Just remember that an X-Box's attention span is only as long as its power cord...
  18. @OMG_Ponies General Zod replacement - "Neil" (would have been better as a predecessor...)
  19. The Dallas Coral Farmer's Market managed to once again successfully suck money right out of my wallet...
  20. Traced the root of Mac problems to Flash Player going evil. Why am I not surprised? If reinstall doesn't fix it, I'm calling an exorcist.
