There's more than just autoplay and malware to worry about.

How long before some jerk sets one of these up that's not connected to a hidden USB drive, but to the AC power lines?

*POOF* No more laptop.

To find a conservative gene, they'd have to look at the other end.

I used a spade on one I found in my garage last month.

Most of the weather websites are delayed enough that they are worthless at times. When they're telling me a storm is approaching, it's already passed. Plus in many rural areas, getting a web connection is next to impossible.

The local TV stations broadcast a live feed of the weather radar and cover a wide area with their signal.

Don't forget the horseshoe lobby!

Personally, I'd rather have a digital TV in my phone. Several of the local stations broadcast weather radar and alerts on one of their sub channels. It would be very useful when out and about.

The magnets don't move and they aren't exectly hidden but TZ is a fun game. If you want to talk about taunting your dreams, try repairing one of them, that will give you fits. TZ is one of the hardest machines to keep running. Medeival Madness and Addams family run a close second and third.

But I find it interesting that two of the three games in the final round are from a company no longer making pinball games. Truly the era of pinball is coming to a close.

I wonder what all the AOL subscribers will do when AOL goes under?

I guess they'll have to switch over to Prodigy or Compuserve.
