Sling Media, SlingPlayer, Slingbox, Oh My!
Consumers with TiVO may want to check out this report on the Slingbox.
Let’s start from the beginning, what is a Slingbox and what does it do. Imagine the ability to watch your television from any online computer in the world. (Plus the ability to watch your TV from many portable devices.) Imagine the idea of not only watching your TV, but watching your recorded events from your Tivo, or DVR. Now imagine the possibility of tuning your TV or setting your DVR to record an event from any online computer in the world. This and even more is what you can accomplish with the Slingbox and their software and accessories. It does this with the help of what they call SlingStream Technology.

Dishwasher Training Offered
This consumer relates a humorous story about the family dishwasher.
Sometime in junior high school, our dishwasher broke in my home. It was never really addressed. Then, a long time later, I was informed that it had been fixed. The problem was that I was legally old enough to drink alcoholic beverages by this time.

A Different Kind Of Composter
This consumer reports on a novel composter called the Daily Dump.
I was browsing around Treehugger the other day and came across this story about a company in India that makes these really unique home composters. Well, what caught my eye first was the photo of the composters. Are they not absolutely gorgeous and unique?

TJX Security Breach Risks Consumer Identity
Here we go again. This is part of the identity theft problem. You can do all you want about keeping your data out of the hands of thieves. You can shred all your documents. You burn any unused or used credit cards. But you can’t do security for retailers that you frequent. TJX is the parent company of some successful retail chains like TJ Maxx. This past spring, TJX had 45 million credit card and debit card customer numbers stolen. You read that right - 45 million.
