It's especially good because electric vehicles are around 4x as efficient as internal combustion engines. The Leaf uses larger flat sheets of batteries to increase their ability to release excess heat.

Good point, if you have a bad internet connection Roku would not be a good candidate for you. Sorry to hear that.

Or if you don't want to build your own, what about Roku? Their lowest box is almost 1/2 the cost of the Apple TV. For $60 you get a pretty nice box.

Thanks. I'd love to watch that. Now if Netflix will just get it.

Isn't "A Fistfull of Quarters" just the sub-title of "King of Kong"? Aren't they the same movie?

The mini 5 looks appealing because it's Android and because it would fit in a larger pants pocket. The Adam because of the screen, the camera and it looks like a nice tablet. Both of them because of Android.

HAHA... My Ford Aspire had that EXACT same issue!

Yeah, I just started that one. So far it's great, but I didn't want to recommend it until I had read it fully.

The author of the new Wheel of Time Book rules. He is a fairly new author, but has some awesome books. They are some of the best epic fantasy books I've ever read. I highly suggest you read Elantris (http://www.brandonsanderson.com/book/Elantris) or Mistborn (http://www.brandonsanderson.com/book/Mistborn).
