What Google TV will mean for the DIY HTPC market

Sooo Google announced their living room product strategy — Google TV . Seems to me like a sound strategy with the right pieces in place : – Android platform that 3rd parties can develop against, adapted for the TV -check! – Google less-than-free business model (ie they’ll pay cable or satellite providers a nice cut of their ad revenues in Google search, maps, etc) -check! (See bgurley post on the “less than free” business model concept) – deals with hardware makers (Sony, Intel, Logitech) -check! – deal with a TV provider (Dish Networks) to provide initial go to market beachhead -check! So I think all the pieces are there for Google to try and get the TV-as-a-platform party started.

Should You Buy a Refurbished (Used) Printer?

Buying a Pre-Owned Printer Makes Sense in Some Situations But Not All Refurbished, remanufactured, pre-owned, etc. — these are all euphemisms for “used.” When I ask people whether they would consider buying a used printer, I have heard responses ranging from “I never buy anything new” to “I never buy anything used.” Regardless of where you reside on that spectrum, buying a used printer is not about you, it’s about how printing technology fits your budget and needs.

Identifying individuals who legally purchased guns and likely still own them after being convicted of subsequent crimes that prohibit gun ownership could be a valuable violence prevention measure, according to the study.
