For the young driver, the real answer is, driving efficiently leaves you more money for beer.

>> Are these guys nuts? Or are they scam artists?

Yes :)

The only way I can see the wind generation being effective at all would be in regenerative braking. Using movable body panels like some Mercedes racing machines (50s?) and that Chapparel in the '60s. I doubt the benefit would outweigh the cost at the speeds we legally drive.

I've been with TiVo since 2001. That dvr is still running with a lifetime subscription at a friends ( 1 harddrive replacement). I now have 2 HD units. But, since I also have a windows machine next to the TV. If I was starting over it would be a tough call. Win7 media center is very nice. Only time will tell if the user installed cablecards will work as advertised.

As the proud owner of 2 HD-DVD players, I'm not investing in any 3-D technology until someone certifies some standards :)

It's gotta be beefy enough, for me to rest my foot on, while singing "Smoke on the Water" :)

The thing that breaks my heart is I'll need to repurchase my favorite books in a digital format

>> Would one of them happen to include some sort of, say, tablet PC?

Shouldn't that be table Mac :)

"I'm a PC" :)

Better browser. Make Opera available in the app store :). Speaking of the browser, be able to syn favorites from your PC, Typing in urls is painful on the on-screen keyboard. As for making it a phone, I think we have to wait for Win7 Mobile, by then the software should be integrated.

Right now I have 1 HDMI cable connected to my tv, what I really need is wireless connectivity between my receiver and the 5 HDMI devices connected to it. That would eliminate cables :)

So does jail.
