Is it just me, or is George Takei's cameo on Heroes totally lame?  It seemed like something out of a Saved by the Bell episode.

Mac vs PC

Quick, can anyone here play a Mac and a PC?  I'd like to see this script turned into a video...

MAC: Hi, I'm a Mac
PC: And I'm a PC
MAC: Who's your new friend, PC?
PC: [nonchalantly] This is Boris. He's with the Russian mob.

BORIS hands PC a brightly colored envelope. PC licks it, seals it, and hands it to MAC.

PC: I'm helping him send spam.

I wish I'd read about latency before buying an HDTV.  Apparently just about all HDTV's have latency issues which cause problems for video games where reflexes count.

My Samsung has a "game mode" which supposedly cuts down the lag, but I can't quite tell whether it works well enough.

In the coming days, I plan to get some kind of audio recorder, and record myself pressing a button loudly, and measure the time between when I press the button, and when the sound effect happens. I'll do this on my big TV as well as my old TV.

The good news is, the new TV is all kinds of awesome when watching TV or movies.
