WTF? 5Hrs/Day is AVERAGE? Where are people getting the time for that kind of viewing. I can barely manage 1 hr a day and maybe 1.5 on the weekend. No wonder the we have an obesity epidemic.

Only works on plain interface. Doing this in iGoogle just returns an error page explaining what the "I'm feeling lucky" button is for.

@SpriteMV: Glary utilities (most recent version) allows some delaying tricks.

I'm going to follow rule #1 on this... work within personal budget. My personal budget, given that I'm not a millionaire, says no holiday tips for people who do their jobs every day just like I do for a decent wage. If I win the lottery, everyone gets tips. Humbug!

Depends how good your oven is? We have a 1942 Roper gas range, and the main oven is about 18x18x15 inches. Thus, the whole thing is pretty much the same temperature. The downside is that if you open the door to check something, the volume is so small that it loses all the heat really fast. The upside is that it heats

@NorwoodIsMyHero: "But right now if you have a 5% mortgage, don't waste money paying it down".

@prupert: Actually fried turkey is not as fattening as it sounds. The oil is so hot, that it burns/sears the outside, and that pretty much seals the meat, so the inside doesn't get fatty - it just ends up steaming in its own juices, so it comes out all nice and moist, unlike roasted turkey.

It seems all the problems with screen scanning on phones might be solved if the screens were e-ink (i.e., kindle type) screens?

I will buy this if they do 4 things...

@orbitbreak: Been riding SS for about 10 years now and would never look back. It really took off about 7 years ago in the mountain biking field - the logic is that SS bikes are a lot lighter (a very big deal), and a lot easier to maintain after a ride (no gear cables to clog up with mud). This is a really big deal
