RE: Why always news video?
Look at TV programming in the reverse.
What we are seeing is "Commercial Advertising TV" with "Interspersed" pieces of programming, like News.
Who is interested in world events any way when you can endlessly enjoy hour after hour of "Call today and get a second one absolutely free, just pay separate shipping and handling".
Think how much less bandwidth we used to use when the monitor had a green screen with only text showing. With pictures there is less need to be able to read the written words.

RE: Apple TV is coming, I think ?
Last I read was that they had a boodle of reserve cash. Maybe they'll buy out some competition.

RE: Ugh!! It's Time To Lose Weight Again
My Mom used to read "Eat Fat and Grow Thin", title is not exact.
She could go up or down at least 5 pounds a week if was so inclined.
TV diet ads are money makers and so are books.
We went food shopping yesterday at one of those Big Fat Eating stores,you know, they are called Supper Markets. As soon as you enter you are bombarded by FATTENING STUFF. THEY know you want it, so there it is.
Doughnuts, cakes, pies, Pastries and the list is endless. No wonder people are poor, all they're income is in they're digestive tract and ends up as outgo.
As is so popular to say in today's life, "Just Say No" instead of YUMMY.
When you look at fattening goodies train yourself to visualize a really disgusting and revolting vision, like The Blob".
And what may help more then anything would be to Get Off the Computer and smell the air outside. Despite what the rumors say, the air IS CLEAN and suitable for human consumption.
Now, where are those GLAZED DOUGHNUTS I HID IN THE CLOSET? YUMMYYYYY.

RE: Reality TV shows are degrading
The shows that make me question the public's intelligence lever are those home videos where many people are caught in the act of getting INJURED.
People getting hurt seems to be really popular.
Who doesn't enjoy watching Dad get hit in the privates by a baseball hit by a little kid? Yeah right.
What next (as I have often predicted), new Gladiatorial Games with prison inmates?
What ever happened to Mr Wizard? Oh, I know, it was educational.

RE: Whatever became of instrumental recordings?
Pretty simple really - the average listener anymore needs lyrics otherwise the music has no "meaning" to them. Music in this day and age is an industry MUCH more than an art, so if it doesn't make money it's outta there.
I never thought of it this way, but you're right.
Then, if what we used to call music has changed, leaving out the instrumental part and centering on the spoken (RAP) words, what are we to call this new for of sound?
I guess they will eventually have a name for it and it will become a new normal.
Maybe "Rhap-sody"?

RE: Whatever became of instrumental recordings?
If the customers can't carry a tune, then caterwauling and a cacophony of sounds is all they like and want more. Not to mention that if they're high then nothing really matters.
I grew up with Chet Atkins and a host of other guitar greats, plus singers that could actually carry a tune and always right on pitch. Some voices almost sounded life they were instruments.
But now, music is just something that is blared in the back ground and is just ignored conscientiously.
A similar thing happened to Disco. Too many people just has no coordination.
Just when I was getting into Disco it passed away and was replaced by this SPASTIC wiggling as in Saint Vitus Dance syndrome.
I hope I never lose my great memory for good things past.

RE: Cable Internet Modem Question
If you want to purchase outright your own modem then your ISP can give you a list of approved units. It might be easier if you just rent it from then so if it goes bad then it's on them.

RE: Flat surface electric stoves for house kitchen
This information has certainly been enlightening and helps us make a decision.
We checked out a couple of Box Stores and after adding up the cost of new the 3 new appliances I decided to wait until they stop working before spending a total of more then the price 2 VW's in 1969 replacing stuff that still works.
Thanks for all the help though and we will file this away for such time that our old STUFF bites the dust.

Flat surface electric stoves for house kitchen
Replacing our very old Coil element stove and all the new stoves appear to be the new flat surface, black glass type.
I have read many reviews on-line and they seem to be 50/50 on pro and con.
I thought I'd try here for unbiased reviews.
The Inductive units are way out of the price quest.
Any feelings on the matter?

RE: Marathon Negotiations
We got a 2005 Malibu Maxx from a Saturn dealer in 2005 for $12K.
It was a corporate rental return.
After looking at all the Saturn models and telling the saleman nothing looked good, he took us out back where they had 4 of these Chevy's of different colors.
I asked the price then drove around town and the freeways, came back and said, I'll take it.
He said lets go inside and work out YOUR price. I said, "No, I'll give you what you quoted the price was. He almost fell over. We went inside, wrote him a check and away we went. We are still driving it at 57K miles with only new tires and a battery and a few oil changes.
I do not dicker. Life is too short and they are smarter then I in THEY'RE field.
If I like the price of something I buy it. If not, well I keep walking.
I'm looking ahead now for a new car, someday and it will be "previously Loved" too. If you're in no rush to buy it seems to work our in your favor.
So THERE, car dealers. Go fish.

RE: dumping Comcast - need new e-mail host
I never have any expectation of privacy once something leaves my computer over the Internet. The same with phones.
It is similar to yelling from a rooftop for any and all to hear.
Gmail far out does Yahoo for consistency of operation and uniformity.
Total privacy or anonymity are a myth.

Sounds like the kind of service on would expect when buying from a Kiosk in a shopping mall. I agree with the Go to a company store directly.
