I said they are 'less likable'. Not sure how you got from that to 'evil'.
@CtrlBurn

I think you are correct. The TV does not matter, unless the TV itself is pulling in youtube using the API. Otherwise it is just a monitor. And besides, I will soon be moving to a front projector without a tuner in it, so that does not count as a TV. So I can thumb my nose at google/youtube and say "Oh, you think my screen is too big. HAHAHA, I'm going to make it even BIGGER to get around you silly rule."

This is why I am happy I built an HTPC. Google became a little bit less likable today.

I have been using Ooma for two months. I have the older model, which is actually cheaper. The new system has a $12 annual change (which is waved if you are paying for premium). I know, that isn't much, but the older one has no fees other than the purchase price, regardless of whether you sign up for premium. On the older system, voice mail is also included in that 'free' service. The newer one changes $5 for voice mail per month, or it is included in the premium package. Premium does have some advantages, but you can read about that at Ooma's web site if you care. But the main point is that the call quality is top notch. With other voip systems I had people complain about the sound. With Ooma, I have never had anyone say a bad thing about it. The best feature is the blacklist that Ooma maintains of known telemarketers that you can use, and you can also add your own custom blacklist.

Thank you. That was my first thought also.

Well, the OP said he already watches HULU on his desktop PC, so in this case, he's got that part covered. In the general case, anyone looking to get streaming video to a TV is most likely to have a desktop PC capable of running PlayOn. It does not have very high hardware requirements.
OK. I'll just file this away in my "I'll believe it when I see it" file.
And now, from the rejected Chuck scripts category...
Sorry. Double post due to a connection hick-up/browser could not load page error.
With slight modifications...orgasmatron. (obscure Woody Allen reference)
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
