I want to know why they *insist* on making their screens with a widescreen aspect ratio. I'd bet 97% of all amateur (family, etc.) photos are shot in either 4:3 or 3:2 aspect ratio. I'm just not going to buy a product for displaying my photos 24 hours a day that is shaped like 0% of my photos.

Yeah, I don't think it's necessarily designed to be used wholly for theft. Twenty bucks a month to know where your kid's car is at all times is a steal. If you're a small business, owner, you might prefer a cheaper passive tracker that just records data for you to analyze later, but like Christian said, parents will jump at the chance to have instant access to this data.

Another easy way to accomplish this is to plug your cable modem into an outlet attached to a light switch, and then turn that switch off whenever you're not using the computer. Of course, between using VNC to remotely access my computer from the office and sending requests to my Tivos to record shows while I'm on the go, I can't afford to shut off the pipe at any point except for while we're sleeping...

I remember my Compuserve ID as well
I remember when certain parts of Compuserve were "walled off" premium content for which my parents would get billed by the hour
I remember waiting all night for a 100KB download off of a BBS, only to find out it was for something called "Windows" that I didn't have
I remember programming in GW-Basic
I remember when we got our first mouse, for nearly $200, that connected to the serial port, and only worked with one application we had, GeoWorks
