Hey Dell, remember all those shitty support calls? Non cancellable orders? Huge restocking fees? Paybacks a bitch, huh?
I tried out E-Harmony looking for an athletic, tall, 35 year old black man and I used EHTECH for the “fat” discount and I ended up with this fat, old geezer:

Firefox on the PS3 would be great, assuming that the Flash plugin will work. Their current browser is terrible. I started using that new Netflix streaming movies service on the PS3 this week, and it seems OK.
Chrome OS. Runs inside IE9 soon 😉

From what I hear, it seems to work well for people with a good high speed internet connection (>500kbps for SD video). Where I live (in the middle of nowhere) the RF link, medium speed internet connection I have is only 300k. The Netflix service on the PS3 will only buffer a few minutes of video (even if left paused for an hour!). So It will play a few minutes of the movie and then buffer for a few minutes.
My options are rather limited where I am (no cable, no phone line) so it is this, cellular modem (spotty reception) or satellite. The service I have was only $35/month when I got it 4 years ago which was much cheaper than the satellite options available at the time.
Probably time to re-look at the satellite option.
Chinese clone markers have come out with genuine Android phones running Linux and Android itself.
On a different note, don’t buy Acai juice till you read this:

E-Harmony turned me down. They only like church-going folk.
Hey John, you ever take their quiz? Give it a try.

Steve #5,
Yeah. I’ve heard about the connect speed issues with the PS3 streaming. I’d like to also mention that even with the same connection at 1500 to 2800 kbps I find half of the movies have unacceptable quality. I’ll watch that stuff on DVD, but some stuff is good enough over the webtubes.
Pedro, I figured you as an XBox guy.
