Ok I think this gets a "cute idea", but I think it's ugly. Sorry.

You get to waste more energy by keeping track of how much energy you're wasting. Interesting.

For Blu-ray to switch their name to HD DVD so the less savvy consumers aren't too overwhelmed.

I can understand that it might make working out easier, especially for people that may be overweight. This might help out their knees and other areas but I think there is a large downside to this piece of equipment as well. I imagine that this machine will have smaller results than actual walking or running and this would discourage someone that is new to training or someone that is trying to lose a lot of weight. They will initially like the piece of equipment because its not as difficult as other methods but once they realize the amount of time they are spending and the lack of results I think there will be a high turnover for this machine.

Someone actually wrote a story on this piece of "news" and I actually read and commented on how dumb it was?

A stylist, gross.

@Dan, thanks. Someone actually sees things the way I do. I never said that the woman shouldn't have been reimbursed for her inconvenience, her laptop, her data (which sometimes can be considered priceless if they were pictures, etc), however $54 million dollars is VERY excessive.

The article does also discuss that there was a possibility of identify theft however I doubt this information is worth $54 million. If one person's information was worth this much I think you would see a rise in identify theft (higher than it already is). It's very unfortunate that this happened to this women but $54 million dollars is absurd. I'd gladly have my laptop misplaced for $54 million dollars.

Really 54 million dollars? Thats a little excessive. I mean for your inconvenience, loss of data and just plain difficulties with Best Buy I couldn't see the true amount going over $100,000 and that's being generous. I do feel like Best Buy should have offered her a lot more than she initially was but come on, 54 million dollars?

I agree. The other LCD pulls your eyes away from what you're really suppose to be looking at, the picture.

I've never understood this upconverting nonsense. How is this player going to make my DVD disc (which doesn't change) any better?
