its been a busy week with my stay-cation and anniversary I listened to the show at work today and loved it! I have a DVR with Dish and I love it I suggested to my wife about getting rid of it and just getting a subscription to Netflix to help with our monthly payments and she about ripped my head off. We have never had any problems with it except for me accidentally deleting everything we had recorded… Twice. It has run perfect and we didn’t have to buy it.

Secondly I agree there are way to many reboots coming out it needs to stop come up with something original!!!! please.

Sure, i’ll throw my vote in the hopper for Royal Pains as a submission.

Actually, the reason its not insured is the cost of the device itself. Until late last year, ATT wouldn’t insure high end devices (phones, pdas, etc), but the project that i worked added most, if not all (excluding the iphone) to the insured list. The reason is, we know how often ppl drop their phones in the toilet or give them to the 1 year old to chew on and replacing the device right out is entirely to expensive. Just because ATT offers the device at $99 doesn’t mean that’s what they paid for it. ATT has been eating a lot in costs over the iphone since the original 3G was released.

The insurance thing will likely change at some point in time, but until then, don’t give it to the newborn.

Keep ‘em coming

Yeah, we realized that we missed the first ep last night, but I’ll watch it online to get caught up.

Is your comment re: Royal Pains an official submission for the Listener Appreciation show?

Tell me more about the insurance thing…is the reason nobody wants to insure it because they don’t think it’ll last, or because, since Apple retired the first iPhone when the 3G was released, they (the insurance people) assumed, and probably rightly so, that everybody who wants a new iPhone 3G would just smash their old iPhone with a hammer and file a claim?

You’ll eventually get sick of my mouthiness, but until you shut me up, i’ll continue to comment.

Burn Notice started last week, so you missed the first ep. You also need to catch Royal Pains which comes on right after Burn Notice.

Pfeiffer was amazing to look at in Wolf with Jack Nicholson. Decent story. Probably the last decent werewolf movie put out.

Equilibrium was good for the gunkata stuff, but the rest of the story was pretty weak.

There won’t be insurance on the iphone anytime soon. I was involved in the project for insurance on high end devices and no one wants to insure the iphone. So you’re SOL.
