He can basically check his email and pay his bills online. Last christmas I bought him a internet-ready bluray disc player and the wireless adapter. Since then he has opened a Netflix streaming account, started a facebook account, watches a bunch of stuff on HuluPlus, buys movies from Amazon's VOD service, has a youtube account and channel, and started a Pandora account. He does all of this from his TV and yet still requires me to create new folders in his hotmail account. It really is the way things are heading. The PC started to become the main media and entertainment source in the house, but it's slowly moving back to the TV. Personally I think it's awesome. Go mess around with a GoogleTV box if you ever get the chance, it's really cool.

I watch Netflix on my TV through my 360; I don't have a problem with Netflix and Hulu being on it, what I don't get is why people are so adamant about combining a television and a computer, when you've already got a perfectly serviceable television that still works and shouldn't need to be replaced for just one new-fangled feature. I don't own a laptop or any mobile device bigger then my cellphone (which is NOT a smartphone) so I just haven't been exposed to any real need for Wi-Fi from the TV, I supose.

Jonny 290 posted:They only do it for the holidays and they only brought it back because customers requested they do so. Finding a Wal-mart vendor buddy, in this thread? Weird. Like I said before, layaway in this day and age is the least predatory way to separate poor people from their money.

Rhyno posted:The Kia Optima commercial with Motley Crue was the best of the night for me. If only because it made me say "Holy poo poo! That really is Motley Crue!" when they did a close up of the band. Yeah it's even better because Vince Neil killed a dude while driving drunk!
