The amount of electronics thrown away rather than recycled in 2007.
The EPA reports that 82% of electronics disposal in 2007 ended up in the garbage (mostly landfills) rather than a recycling center. (source: EPA, July 2008)
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
So it's basically a lightweight web client. Is the API open or closed to 3rd party development?
More importantly, to what extent is this software tracking iewing habits? Does it (or can it) personalize ads and offerings to the viewer? Is the television being "cookied" or have a unique ID? Is Yahoo tying this information to use by computers at the same IP address?
Hmmm???
Give me Hulu & Netflix. Yahoo widgets who gives a cr*p?
I just got a Samsung LN52A650 and haven't hooked it up to the net yet, but suspect I will at least need a firmware upgrade before I can get more than the USA Today content as RSS feeds, which is the InfoLink feature. I would love to get Netflix, Hulu and Pandora too.
