Anyways does Avast crash/take a long time to install updates? I had to stay up until 2 am to install first time for Norton Systemworks.

Avast has never crashed in my experience using it (about two years of use).

Just an FYI, the Australian Weather Channel has nothing to do with the American Weather Channel.

Yeah, its in the HD STAR Shot thread, don't know where though.

I looked through all seven pages of that thread, and I didn't see anything about this video posted.

At 12:52 AM ET, Adam showed a graphic for the Boston Marathon and the temperature wasn't updated on the graphic so it just displayed a dash where the temperature should've gone. Also the LIVE tag appeared during that graphic for some reason.

This was posted in the HD Star video thread, wasn't it?

No, I don't believe so.

I was just browsing TWC Media Kit and I found this video showing some neat time-lapse shots of the construction of the new HD studio and what it will look like both inside and out.

I just have to say that I can't wait until Wednesday after the PA primaries are over so I can get a little break from all these darned political ads.
