Thank you Sam .... hence the deeper, double meaning to which I was originally referring.

HBO just posted a new spoiler trailer for Made in America on their site here. Has anyone else noted that the finale is Episode 86 ... as in the Soprano's have been 86'ed. Who thinks we'll be treated to this song?

Tony: It's anyone's guess as to how the details could play out. I'm still trying to figure the "Made in America" reference, which has been said to be significant. Often the Ep titles have double meaning. Probably some type of a reference to becoming a made-[wo]man. I also briefly wondered if...

Another really intense Ep last night. I noted that HBO is premiering a new series next week "at 10 PM EDT after the Soprano's finale". Thus, the final ep is 1 hour. (but I'm setting my DVR for 2 anyway). I can see that David Chase has chosen to really use the last 3 eps (hours) for the finale...

I was listening to the HD Guys and their HDTV Podcast regularly ... but I must say that I grew bored with this one. For now, I 'm totally entertained by general Computer, Tech & Gadget news instead of home-theater specific. My current favorites are as follows (in order of preeference.) Buzz...

Even I consider this a stupid question ... and I'm the one asking it. Work just issued me a beautiful new Dell Latitude D420 widescreen ultraportable notebook (nice review & pics here). I love it. It has the same footprint as a sheet of paper (8.5 * 11) and is just about exactly 1" thick...

It was reported in the press release from Menu Foods that ... while they have not confirmed the exact cause, there is a correlation between symptomatic animals and food production coincident with the introduction of a "new ingredient source". The translation is that back around Dec-06, they...

I know I could count on the HTF ... some really great tips here. I"ve never heard of Suckers, but that one looks perfect. Also, someone else mentioned Cadillac Man & it happens to be running on HBO this weekend. Also remembering where Putty was selling a car to Jerry on Seinfeld ...

Working on a presentation for work & we want to incorporate some brief movie clips. What we are specifically looking for are funny scenes of car salesman (new or used) putting the hard sell on. We want examples of "good" salesman and "bad" salesman. Please suggest any movies / scenes that we...

To jump down to the next empty cell use ... (End)(down arrow). If you are in an empty cell this jumps to the next full cell. Also works with (up arrow), etc. As far as formatting text ... ctrl_U = underline, ctlr_B = bold, ctrl_I = italics. This is sames as MS Word. I dont believe there is a...

My son started with a beginner electric guitar last Jan. Following on recommendations from our local guitar shop, we got him the Digitech RP50 Guitar processor (pedal style). It has about 100 preset effects (pedal swithcable) and you can customize as many more as you want. The best part is...

Prices are dropping indeed ... Just this weekend, my local Best Buy sold me a new 55" SXRD for $2250. ($2500 sale price -10% coupon). Setup is Saturday ... cant wait!

Kyle ... Yes, I suspected this was going to be the case with FIOS (1 box per TV). Same as satellite. Does anyone really do this ... I'm running 7 TV's in my house right now for god sakes! The beauty of digital cable is that I can have 1 or 2 boxes on primary TV's and all the rest get plain...

No surprise, but prepare for a bit of a rant here .... First, some background ... In my area, Comcast and Verizon are headed for a war over market share. Verizon has installed FiOS in many local neighborhoods and the push is on to convert the customer base. They are offering free in-home...

About a month ago, I picked up a Dyson DC14 Animal (factory refirb) from amazon.com. The price was an amazing $350. This model is typically $550. This pretty much overcame the only negative I could find ... price. I will say that other than the plain brown box, you could never tell it was a...
