Nov 12th 2009 4:45PM I wonder how much additional space this will eat up on the hard drive? I won't be using any of their new stuff, so as far as I know, It will be a negative update for me.

Nov 11th 2009 4:07PM I am still using the alarm clock I bought in "West Germany" in 1984. It runs on 1 AA battery for about 8 months. If it still works, why replace it?

Nov 11th 2009 11:07AM It's not redbox for me, it's crap movies and the internet. 99.9% of new movies are shit and not worth the time and effort. If it's worth it, I watch it in the theater on the big screen. If it's old and I want to watch it, torrents and hulu provide.

What The Hell Is That?
Tourist #1.....Steve Martin
Tourist #2.....Bill Murray
[ Tourist #1 wanders onto set, looks straight into camera inquisitively with a dumb look on his face ]
Tourist #1: What the hell is that?! [ squints ] What the hell is that? [ chuckling at himself ] What's that danged thing doing here! How did that get here? What the hell is that?! [ squints ] What the hell is that?! How'd that dang deal get here?! [ turns off-camera ] Hey! Come on over here and look at this deal!
[ Tourist #2 wanders onto the set to take a bewildered look ]
Tourist #2: What the hell is that?
Tourist #1: I don't know what the hell that is!
Tourist #2: What in the hell is that?!
Tourist #1: Hey, you kids! Get away from there!
Tourist #2: I would not mess with that thing..
Tourist #1: Don't put your lips on it!
Tourist #2: [ ever curious ] What the hell is this?
Tourist #1: Well.. get a photo of me with it, anyway!
[ Tourist #1 hands camera to Tourist #2, then walks away from camera view to have his picture taken ]
Tourist #2: Be careful with that thing. [ snaps Tourist #1's picture, as spark of ingenuity develops on his face ] Oh, I know what that is!
Tourist #1: [ returns next to Tourist #2 ] Well, what the hell is it?!
Tourist #2: [ looks closer ] What is that thing..?
Tourist #1: I don't even care what it is. [ pause ] What the hell is that?!
Tourist #2: I don't know what the hell that thing is.
Tourist #1: Oh, I know what it is!
Tourist #2: [ seeing it ] Oh, yeah.. oh yeah.. [ chuckles ]
[ Tourist #1 & #2 walk away from the stage. A beat, before their heads peer back into frame, more inquisitive than ever. ]
Tourist #1: What the hell was that?!
[ fade ]

"How much new road capacity do we build every year in the U.S.?
U.S. highway capacity has been growing very slowly in recent years.
Currently, the U.S. has just over four million center-line miles of roads, providing 8.42 million lane-miles for highway travel, according to the Federal Highway Administration.
Between 1997 and 2006, the U.S. built an average of 8,015 center-line miles of new roads per year. This, along with widening of existing roads, added 20,233 lane-miles per year. This means the capacity of the highway system grew less than one-quarter of one percent per year."

Oct 28th 2009 1:22PM Haus_xyz.. you nailed it. If you don't have their "brand" or you are not in a covered area then it is pointless. I carry a flip phone with no data and live in a rural are with spotty coverage. Google's solution wouldn't work for me.
