Thanks, LB!

Gramps always called them "Ohh la la pens"
- Soup in a TARDIS
That would be because of the general subject matter of such pens. Hence, I have always known them as "pens with ladies' boobs!"

Indeed. Gramps was always annoyed by the G-rated versions sold at tourist traps. Waste of a pen in his opinion.

Breville Tea Brewer - http://uncrate.com/stuff...
imabonehead, edythe, Kelli H. and 12 other people liked this
"Give yourself one less thing to worry about with the Breville Tea Brewer ($250). Designed for the discerning tea drinker and incredibly lazy alike, this one-touch brewer features a fully automated tea basket that moves your leaves down into the water, then gently agitates them to infuse your tea with flavor, as the whole system keeps track of what variety of tea you're brewing, adjusting the water temperature and brewing time accordingly. Or, you could just do the same thing with a stove, thermometer, and egg timer. Good luck with that."

Hmm. If I had money, I'd consider it, if just the ability to adjust temperatures for different kinds of tea. Of course, thinking about it, it is a rare day when I drink something that isn't just black tea of some variety. /edit SWEET BABY JESUS. $250?

I would buy one except that it doesn't post what tea you are drinking to the Twittersphere or Farcebook.

The internets have recently informed me of a thing called a Skrillex. I'm not yet sure, however, if it's a kitchen product or an alien life form. So, to the more refined part of the internet, I would ask if any of you have knowledge of the subject of this name "Skrillex" and how good it is at those stubborn, dried-in foods and alien overlords.
Skrillex takes this http://www.youtube.com/watch... and makes it sound like shit. http://www.youtube.com/watch... (Honestly, he's okay, and puts out somewhat decent stuff, but nothing remarkable or interesting from him.)

So obviously, posing for crap photos with a bunch of bottom-of-the-barrel, so-called "celebrities" is the gateway to fame and fortune in America. The Sun's "Bizzarre" column is now edited by a guy called Gordon Smart. He'll probably become your President or something next.

Correction to original post that won't fit in an edit: Piers was editor of the celeb/gossip/trash pages of the leading competitor to the tabloid he then became editor of.

Rodfather and Spidra Webster liked this
"After the controversial revelation that only two songs were nominated for the Best Original Song award at the Oscars, despite plenty of other good songs being perfectly eligible for a nod, Deadline is now reporting that neither of the two nominated songs — “Man or Muppet” from The Muppets and “Real in Rio” from Rio — will be performed during the telecast. So, if you were planning on tuning in for the sole purpose of seeing a Muppets musical number, you can go ahead and make other plans. We’d like to thank the Academy for making their awards show even more boring than it was going to be."

Now that Alex Scoble doesn't hang around here much any more... If you were choosing today would you buy a plasma or LCD/LED TV? Assuming you weren't buying the very top of the line in either category.

Anyone?
- The original Kevin
I'd lean towards LED now. I still love my Z1 Panasonic, but the average LED is better than the average plasma now.
- Cristo
If I could, I'd still choose a CRT. Only two factors prevent me from doing so. First, it's much harder to hook up a PC to a CRT TV (rather than a dedicated monitor). Second, nobody sells the damned things any more. :-)
- Slippy
I'm leaning toward an LG edge-lit LED. But I worry that ghosting will drive me nuts.
- The original Kevin
I have two plasmas. The Z1 and some other Panasonic. There is a world of difference between the two. The Z1 is single glass, so no ghosting. It's also anti-reflective, which makes a huge difference in daylight. The LED sets I've had are all small, so I can't really compare them. Wanting a CRT is crazy.
- Cristo
LCD/LED. The technology keeps improving, and it's lighter. Plasma won't get any better, stuck where it is, and production all around is ramping down.
- Eric
Just about every review I read re: LED/LCD suggests the blacks aren't that great until you get way up into the higher price range. I've done some in-store viewing, but the conditions are crappy for that kind of comparison.
- The original Kevin
Depends on the size, quality, and the room. In a bright room with little control of brightness or glare, I'd go with LCD. But for a larger set in a controllable room where viewing quality is paramount, I'd still go with plasma (and stretch to get the best one possible). Though the new Elite brand LCD is tempting, it is still über expensive.
- Tinfoil 2.0
You might just want to wait. The OLED and 4K sets are on the horizon. As Eric said, LED will only get better, and the best plasma sets are in short supply. E.g. Panasonic discontinued the Z-series and only ever made the Z1.
- Cristo
What size are you targeting? The Z1 is 54"
- Cristo
Cristo's earlier comment is appropos. The quality (and therefore cost) within the range is important. But even so, my new 65" top of the line Panasonic plasma does not look as good to me as my couple-years-old Pioneer 60" plasma, though granted I have not done a proper calibration of the Panasonic yet.
- Tinfoil 2.0
LCD then LED when it's more affordable.
- SteVe C
Oh, hang on, following my earlier comment - have LCD/LED/OLED/Plasma sets surpassed CRTs in picture quality yet? If they have, I might have to revise my opinion.
- Slippy
Can you even find a CRT for consumer use?
- Eric
Slippy, the rock you live under has Internet access?
- Cristo
BTW, when I say LCD, I mean both varieties of backlight, though LED is becoming much more ubiquitous.
- Tinfoil 2.0
Slippy, good luck finding an (affordable) CRT that can display 1920 x 1080 x 24/30/60.
- Tinfoil 2.0
Any input on the primary use of this TV? Home theater, sports, casual living room viewing?
- Eric
Home theater. But it's in a room that gets a lot of light. Probably targeting 55".
- The original Kevin
<50" do they even make plasma screens anymore? The price difference between LED and LCD is still huge, so I went with the LCD at 46", but I do have a 32" LED, and I haven't really noticed any ghosting. I did go with 120 Hz refresh, though. I basically just watch basketball and play PS3 games, though, so I'm probably not the best person to ask about TVs.
- Victor Ganata
Actually, ya, Panasonic and Samsung still make lots of plasmas, up to 60". Still way cheaper than equivalent sized LED or LCD, especially at larger sizes.
- The original Kevin
LED/LCD.
- Andrew C (✓)
One thing I noticed about LEDs are that they are superlight and superthin compared to LCDs, and especially compared to plasmas, but I don't know if that really even matters to most people. I didn't even look at plasma screens at those smaller sizes because I couldn't find any on display.
- Victor Ganata
Plasma is pretty good bang for your buck at that size. Worth a look. I'm just saying production for plasmas is being slashed. I don't think Pioneer makes it's own plasma panels anymore and Panasonic is shutting down one of its plasma factories. The future is not bright for the display technology in the next couple years. Doesn't mean you can't buy one today.
- Eric
Eric - No, hence my first comment. Cristo - no, I use a HTTP/SmokeSignal gateway. And finally, LogEx - thanks for the pointless response, I was alluding to the fact that, price and availability notwithstanding, CRT's still outstrip flatscreens AFAIK. (Also, I have a 4-year old LCD which I'm still more than happy with, and would happily choose again)

CRTs totally dry my eyes and my face out. I'm not joking! At least for computer use, I personally would definitely stay away from them.

It won't be long now until they can just directly beam video into my retinae.
- Victor Ganata
Won't be long, Victor? You surprise me. That technology's been around for years in spectacle form, and is already in development in contact lens form. I'm waiting for the next upgrade - receivers floating around in the eyeball that do the same thing, maybe with nanowires tapping blood sugar for power.
- Slippy
Yes, the tech is there (or at least, the components are), but it hasn't really gone mainstream yet. Proper configuration for optimal performance is, needless to say, very inconvenient. I'd probably never really go for full-on implantation, though. Unless I needed my corneas replaced anyway. Then, maybe....
- Victor Ganata
It's funny to hear you guys talking about retinae displays, but 4K is too far out.
- Cristo
4k/5k will eventually get to TV's. Not for a while though. It's relatively inexpensive to shoot 4K/5k footage with the RED compared to shooting with film. Film is just about dead now (http://vimeo.com/29708051. Discussion starting at 20:00) with the quality of high resolution video cameras exceeding film. I guess we'll see how fast high resolution digital projectors will hit theaters first.
- Rodfather
Another option depending on the room is a DLP TV. It is the same technology used in movie theaters and is among the best as far as picture quality goes. It is a rear projecting television however. The biggest problem is how the screen darkens when you aren't looking pretty much straight on. If viewing from an angle isnt an issue, DLP is a good option. You can also get pretty large sizes...
