The unbearable lightness of being shallow
Another FunTitle (tm) by the GoodWatch.
\command \start rant At the end of this month, some small savings comes available to me and I've compiled a short-list of the LCD TV and home cinema set I'm going to buy. But that's not my main reason of shallow joy I once owned a PC and I absolutely loved to tinker with firmware, drivers, updates, etc. I scoured the Internet for new firmware upgrades on a regular basis. And guess what? All the equipment I'm going to purchase, from the TV to the home cinema system has regular firmware upgrades! The insanity of it all, a TV that receives firmware upgrades through the Internet! Oh yeah! I can't wait \command \end rant

I've had two firmware updates on my Blu Ray and one on my Sony XBR LCD TV. You burn a DVD for the Blu Ray, and for the TV you copy the files to a thumb drive which you then plug into a USB port in the back. Pretty cool.

The TV even has a network port! So that you can stream video from a DNLA source. And my NAS is a DNLA server Even DiVX and WMA. Heh, heh.

All this technology just to watch Porn. What has become of all out us. I shall go back to my studies of String Theory and Wormholes and the differenct between two and three dimensional time. It would be a hoot for an old redneck to figure out the theory of everything.
