Me want. Please.
Don't have. Need. Thanks.
In the early 90s I visited the robotics company that built many of the "spiders" for the movie. I was there to test some equipment they were designing and building for the US Navy, and did not know about their role in the movie. It was quite a surprise to see these menacing looking spiders all over the office. In the workshop they had a large sign from the movie's construction site that said something like "Caution, Humans and Robots at work".
Got my "offer" today!

We are offering select subscribers like you, who have multiple subscriptions, a special opportunity to lock in the current low rate on their additional radio subscription.

On March 11, 2009, the monthly rate for your discounted subscription will increase from $6.99 per month to $8.99 per month upon renewal.* You can lock in your current special discounted rate of $6.99 by choosing a longer-term plan at www.xmradio.com/lockin - but only if you act quickly.

And if you renew now, you can continue to listen online FREE for the entire length of your subscription. Effective March 11, 2009, the XM Radio Online listening platform will be upgraded to a higher quality digital audio and no longer included as part of a base subscription at no charge.

Save with Longer Subscription Plans.
Depending on the Subscription Package and Plan you choose for each radio, you could enjoy an average annual savings of more than $90.00 with two radios on an Annual Savings Plan if you act now. Save even more with two- and three-year plans. Any credits on the account from earlier payments made will be applied to your renewal - you'll only be charged the difference.

Easy to "Lock In" & Save.
Watching the 5PM news in HD already. Pretty quick changeover! The picture looks great and (surprisingly) the anchor-persons don't look too scary! They must have hired HD makeup artists, too.

The cable companies are required to support CableCARDs, because they would not do it voluntarily. Are they within their rights to deny some channels to CableCARD users while providing those channels to set-top-box users? Does partial support count as "support"? I think that they should be required to provide the same channels to STB and CC customers. Otherwise, what's the point?

Can you throw-in a home theater makeover?
In Jacksonville today I found these channels on the program guide:

History Channel HD - 422
CNN HD - 423 (has been working and listed for a couple of months)
Discovery Channel HD - 424
Animal Planet HD - 426
SciFi HD - 427

I also found this very cryptic message from Comcast:

Can anybody out there read Comcastese?



Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
