It's not 10/10/10, it's 10/10/2010 which is not so terribly remarkable.

Only 12% of respondents report that since the switch they have worse reception? I find that hard to believe. Most of my neighbors lost channels. Before the cutoff of analog, I was already receiving digital channels for a year. For some reason, on the day of the analog cutoff, half of the digital channels I was receiving went away. I rescanned, tried different antenna amplifiers, and maybe even said a few incantations. Maybe they were broadcasting their digital signals with higher power before the anlog cutoff. I live 30 miles outside the city. At least with analog, I could watch The Tonight Show through the snow.

I don't qualify for a Netflix trial membership because I had a regular membership back in 2004. I cancelled it because it sucked. Now I am interested in the video on demand and primarily for certain shows. So I did a search on Netflix for Stargate Atlantis Season 5 under the streaming video search area. SG Atlantis Season 5 showed up in the list and it didn't say "not available" so I went ahead and signed up and paid money. Then I find out that when it showed up in the search results under the streaming video search function, that was for the DVD and it was not even available yet. So I thought I would watch something else then that I haven't seen and then cancel my membership. So I clicked on a movie that was available, and to my horror Netflix requires Silverlight. So I said a few choice words in the direction of my computer screen, made a few finger gestures at it too, and immediately canceled my membership. Then I went over to Amazon and tried out their video on demand service and have been happily watching Stargate Atlantis Season 5 episodes with an interface (based on Flash) that is unbelievably easy to use.

I was on a business trip, and we were in a rental with one of those navigation systems, and it had us turn off the main road, make a U shaped diversion and then turn back onto the main road. We just laughed. Ah technology.
