"If your seat is 72 inches from the screen, the formula would look like this: 72 x .84 = 60.4. So the maximum recommended screen is 60 inches. " Are you kidding me! If you sat 6' from a 60" screen for more than an hour your eyes would melt.

Thanks. It's in the bedroom, so we watch while laying in bed. Since we're looking up at an angle, we don't really notice the mirror.

Here's the lift in action

Made a similar lift for my bedroom a few years back. I also used a firgelli lift. I used a simple linear actuator which was much cheaper than their ready made TV lift, and design my own IR controlled for use with my remote. Check it out at

Andy Serkis may have done an outstanding job for the motion capture, however they can't give him a best acting nomination since there is no way of validating his acting on screen. The award represents what is presented on film, not for the behind the screens activity. Even costume, set design, and visual effects is…

Connection #2: My wife has been working from home for past couple of days since she's sick and is sneezing non-stop. Yesterday she called me up and asked me to come home early so we could get our groove on before the kids got home, and it was still daylight!

"drier machine"? Was this article written by a unfrozen caveman lawyer? Your strange drier machine confuses me, and would shrink my Leonard Logsdai suit.

Agree completely! I've always preferred Swan Song to The Stand. Very similar, but better IMHO.

It's a flymo hover mower. No wheels, hovers over the ground. Crappy video, but shows one in use.

You obviously didn't bother watching the "making of" video. They had a failed parachute attempt where the computer booted in time, but the chute failed and the computer was smashed. Another case of "just deep enough" journalism.

Does no one read the news? 3 Chinooks and 2 black-hawks were involved. The Chinooks waited it out in a different LZ (with 20+ more SEALS on boards), while the balck-hawks took the SEALs in. When the black-hawk crashed, one of the Chinooks came in to collect the SEALS and Osama's body.

As long as the moon doesn't shoot first, I'll watch it.

No. Only shows map based on the last backup data file. However the "Find My iPhone" app can show you where a registered iphone is if it has been set up right.

"Until Apple stops doing this, or explains why they are doing it, I don't feel safe."

I think it is a little skewed by the fact that Firefly is being re-aired.

Let's face it, you weren't real friends. You had a summer fling which was good while it lasted. He's moved on and there just isn't enough room in his new clique for you.

You can stream Amazon's VOD to PS3 via Playon.

Don't assume everyone out there carries credit card debt.

Just buy an old Gi Joe Skystriker and repaint it. That's all Hasbro did.

I few years back at a conference for Weight Engineering a guy gave a presentation on airplanes like these that he used to build, but smaller. Instead of rubber bands for engines, he would glue flies to the plane. We all thought he was full of BS till he showed the videos. He would put a fly in a jar and knock it…
