AVRant #113: Analysts
January 29th, 2009
You know what Friday the 13th needs? More lens flare! Dina and Tom talk about a lot of stuff this week. Netflix – they are doing well but what do the analysts say? DTV delayed? So far we’ve dodged a bullet (but Tom and Dina didn’t know it at the time). HHGreg luvs Circuit City customers. The Speaker Company so far has impressed Tom. Sony may be getting a clue about their Blu-ray pricing. Samsung losses money and gets insulting. In case you were wondering, Tom said “magic” because he doesn’t know. I think the only one he fooled was Dina. Oh, the male ego, it’s such a fragile thing… Thanks for listening and don’t forget to vote for us at Podcast Alley.

Less vs. fewer
Hi, Tom and Dina. Grammar police here. I just wanted to remind you that the correct phrasing is, “ten words or fewer”; not, “ten words or less”.
If you can count the noun, you must use the word “fewer”. ex. “Less water” is correct. But you would have “fewer buckets of water”.
Dina, tsk tsk. I thought you were a teacher!
Rob,
I were a teacher. But that was much years ago.
That’s ok, Dina. As long as our children is learnin’.
Dina, what do you think of my short explanation?
Can you and I be reading the same page at the same time in different places? How does THAT work????
I think we got hit by this bullet fairly squarely in the head. http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/02/04/digital.tv.delay.vote/index.html
I knew it. Bastards. 😡
You can tell your roku box what speed (quality) you want it to operate at. There are two different secret menus one at
Home X5
<> X2
the other is
Home X5
>> X3
<< X2
on the remote. It doesn’t matter where you are already when you start the button punches
Whoa, Something went fanork when I posted that. The first code should be:
Home X5
<>X2

Press home five times

Good grief.
