I'm waiting until this family three-pack of licenses comes out.  Because, you know, I need all three, and Home Premium is more than adequate for my needs.

I woke up with Al.  It's not bad, but I do have one beef: some graphics are horrifically not 4:3 safe...the travel segment at :20 past had the cities' names completely cut in half because it was not framed properly.

It's essentially Storm Alert Lite Edition.

And I think the live news updates are sniped out for generic junk (this date in history comes to mind).

That's crazy. For Verizon FiOS home phone (unlimited long distance, caller ID, call waiting, etc), FiOS TV (2 standard STBs, 1 DVR), FiOS Internet, and 3 cell phone lines (1400 min out of Verizon, unlimited texting) and our total bill is around $260/month.

Holy moley.  That's an amazing deal.

I initially thought the commercial for J.G. Wentworth structured settlement company was the worst:

My LDL's cities changed too...from two major cities to two smaller cities (and one city that isn't even served by the STAR, too...)

I donno how many of you might be interested, but I found this little gem while searching for a project of mine.  Totally digging dual on-board digital tuners, too.

I will not vote until I see a 6AM airing, but I will say this:  the 10AM re-air is so horribly disjointed and kludged together it's not funny.

+1 for mentioning the LF song...now do it for all songs.

i wouldn't celebrate just yet, it always tends to fall significantly after it shoots up.

I need about 9750-11000 on the Dow and about 1050 on the S&P.  Missed getting out of my mutual fund for a bank high-interest savings acct in May 2008 (ya know, before the economy took a dump).  Those levels would pocket me at least 60% of my losses back.
