18% of Consumers Can't Tell HD From SD 603

An anonymous reader writes "Thinking about upgrading to an HDTV this holiday season? The prices might be great, but some people won't be appreciating the technology as much as everyone else. A report by Leichtman Research Group is claiming that 18% of consumers who are watching standard definition channels on a HDTV think that the feed is in hi-def."

Comment This describes my ThinkPad 600e (Score 1) 457

When I got my ThinkPad 600e used, it had about one hour worth of battery life. Within one year (and only moderate use, as it is not my primary laptop) that fell to seconds, and finally to zero.

I no longer keep the battery in the bay, as it is just dead weight. It really is a shame, since it is the perfect laptop for Linux (well supported hardware save the modem, three mouse buttons). I currently use the laptop only while tethered to AC.
